Van Nistelrooy sacked/BBM why?

I was thinking about this yesterday and today the news has broken that Ruud has been sacked. Surely BBM being assistant manager at Leicester, if he was highly rated he would have been in the running for the main job? Everyone has known for a while It's highly likely Ruud will be sacked.
Why didn't BBM stick around knowing this? Lots of assistant managers have taken over in the past and been successful, Tomas Frank for example at Brentford. I know this sounds a bit far out but Maresca had little managers experience and had a similar background coming from
Man City and was a success at Leicester, so surely BBM would have been considered?

Maybe he didn’t like the direction the club was going?

Also, maybe didn’t want to hang around when he could land a job immediately and start planning.

Cardiff could be more of a clean slate where he can put his stamp on things, maybe he felt that may have been limited at Leicester.

We will never know.

I would have thought the opposite. New manager would have bought in his own team and probably have lost his job. I don't know how much compo we paid Leicester but we saved them a few bob in paying up BBM.

I think Leicester have a lot of problems. There owner is in a lot of financial trouble.

Maybe BBM saw all this and needed a new project.

It’s 90% certain Leicester will have 12 points deduction at start of season. Finically they are in deep trouble

I didn't know about the potential points deduction, I just thought considering Maresca's journey and success, BBM could have been in the running. Maybe the Cardiff job is more sensible and can build, with plenty of youth coming through.

They usually sack the lot I recon bbm knew this why he pushed so hard to get cardiff job hmmm

This is one of several reasons why I question the appointment. There are too many gaps of unemployment and that raises concerns. He left Man City and it took several months until he found another job at Leicester. People who impress and do a good job don't have gaps of unemployment like this.

I wanted the manager with a track record of constant over achieving and success, who was obviously Dave Challiner. He's just signed another 3 year contract with Stockport, so I will never understand why people thought we had no chance getting him.

We have Stockport away on September 13th and I see nothing other than a defeat. Challiner will make his team too intense and streetwise for us. It'll be one of those games we don't turn up, because Stockport will put it about and give us no time on the ball. I fear we will still be far too nice and easy to play against under BBM. I feel we needed a manager to give our soft side some added steel and character. We need to become nastier to play against and make our stadium a fortress.

I would love to be proven wrong and I really hope BBM proves me wrong.

Totally agree with you like you think under bbm we will be to nice league one is a bloody hard league look how long some sides have taken once they get relegated to get back to championship I like you hope bbm is successful but I'm not so sure

Yet another post of someone making thinly veiled digs at our manager. Just support him FFS.

Also, Leicester are a Championship club and we are not.

Leicester wanted to keep him as a coach, that's a fact.

But whatever, carry on with your constant whinging if it makes you feel better.

I was in Germany in May, met a couple of Leicester season ticket holders while there, we got talking, I was shocked to hear about in their view, what a terrible mess the club is in now! Had no clue on BBM at the time so we did not speak on that, just football in General, but if they were right, many on the inside would know this and want out anyway, they were saying their owners are possibly bankrupt etc.. and said in their view there were some very bad times ahead for them at this moment in time.

I'm not having a dig at our new manager, I support him and am optimistic and hope Leicester have made a mistake. I'm asking a genuine question. Ruud got sacked today they waited so it shows on the following months accounts and a Leicester fan was on SSN saying they want a young manager with something to prove and hungry with a modern way of managing. BBM ticks those boxes but the fan didn't mention BBM just mentioned Danny Rohl. Considering BBM has a similar background to Maresca I'd have thought he'd be considered knowing Ruud's sacking has been on the cards a while. Jeeeezzzz chill out.

Well it is a dig, implied or otherwise.

The fact is Leicester wanted to keep him as a first team coach.

Leicester are bigger than us and a league above us. They will have a different calibre of manager.

People have been queuing up to slate our new manager because they can't accept that their choice didn't get the job.

He is our manager now, let's support him and not look for thinly veiled digs at him.

I believe he'll prove a lot of people wrong. Whether those people will admit they were wrong when/if that happens, I doubt.

It depends how you take it in. I'm speaking of our new manager in the same mould as Maresca a big club Chelsea's manager and it could be read as have Leicester made a mistake here? I support BBM and want nothing more than success for him.

Fair enough, probably judged it too quickly going by some other people's comments on here. So I apologise.

But unfortunately there are other people who seem desperate to write off this manager.

I don’t think this thread was against BBM, more of a question, if the owners rated BBM highly and were getting rid of Ruud, why not ask him to stay and offer him the job of Manager, it’s how I interrupted this anyway, I think the fact is, the club do appear to be in a massive mess in this moment of time and it’s unlikely they will own them for much longer, many players will leave etc..

So BBM could be a real gift, time will tell on that but will 100% support him.
