Birmingham thought the same with debt and a stadium needing £10 million spending on it

Also it’s universally agreed that Rudkin needs to go across the fanbase. Aiyawatt and King Power doubled down on him. The split is pretty much do you believe King Power are actually going to change or not. The secondary argument is well we don’t know who the next owner is. That’s the fear of change whilst playing into not recognising the size and attraction of Leicester City.

The murmurs against protesting are a real sad indictment of modern football. If you think back to the 90s with Pleat and the famous Sheff United game with O’Neill or critical media such as fanzines or even chants what was actually funny and innovative. It feels like you’ve got a small number what are thinking of the future rather than the past. Football’s tie to nostalgia is its enemy as much as its beauty. The genetrificafion of effectively a generation who watched us in the 80s and early 90s is incredible and be really worth a study.

I’ve thought it for a long time and then clapping that follows it every time is like a North Korean rally. Aside from that video, the worst one is Top in Eindhoven on a circle of the main square in an act of pure ego. Absolutely the sign of a relationship which simply shouldn’t exist in a football club

Deary me, I don’t know they get the hardy 50 to 80 watching them away from home. Quite clear some huge coaching and tactical issues. Didn’t look any idea of a plan. They were two phases of ten mins where Leicester had any authority brought around by pressing high. The veterans signed are passed it.

Struck me he started okay but then just completely lost confidence when the equaliser went in

I tell you if a player threatened physical violence against you, I’m sure you’d exclude him like Rodgers did with Soyuncu

Btw if this Iran war continues KP finances are well and truly going to be hit

No one at Birmingham City knew who Wagner was after an awful experience with a Chinese owner. No one at Wrexham expected two Hollywood superstars to step forward. No one at Bournemouth expected a highly efficient sports club owner to make his first football investment with them. So yeah let's 'get real and grow up'. All three of those clubs had problematic issues which cost money, like dead money with no real reward. There are events like this - https://businessoffootball.live.ft.com - with banks representing a number of interesting parties who want to invest in football clubs. I find your yoyo comment quite sad. Football has changed from the period of LCFC being a yo-yo club. To accept history as some fate that must be returned to means we might as well just pack in football all together if it's all pre-determined. Those that support Brentford or Brighton might as well just pack up then and stop supporting cos their historical mean is 2nd or 3rd tier football and they aren't going to win anything of note. The idea behind football is that you hope your club push beyond their standing and make things happen. Asking a younger generation of support to stuck up because we are always this is unambitious and kinda kills the whole notion of supporting your local club. People aren't asking for 2016 success. We are easy within the 20 biggest clubs in the country - post PL era we are 14th for top flight points and there's no club outside the top six what can compete on our trophies tally won in the same period. Leicester City FC has progressed as an overall size and the city similarly to support any growth we can achieve. Top six this season with some younger players would have been accepted to the many. We are on the cusp of relegation to the third tier, this has only happened once in our history which ended a proud record of being one of the few clubs to remain in the top divisions with their history. We are currently positioned 43rd in the footballing hierarchy. 43th! Within 142 years of history, this is within the worst three seasons of this clubs history ever! Do you remember in 1996 when the fans were stood outside Filbert Street protesting about O'Neill's poor start and how we drifted to mid-table in the second tier? I am life long Leicester fan - I have seen us in administration, I saw us at Filbo, I saw us at Hereford. I am no 2016 glory boy.

Great win by Quorn today. Harborough with a decent point v Real Bedford. Barwell right in the relegation battle again. Anstey looking set for 2nd while if Shepshed keep their form, there's a chance they will have the Nomads in the playoffs.

The fact he’s captain despite his various idiotic behaviour of the pitch tells you everything you need to know about the culture that’s festered at this club

It’s now simply the worst Leicester team in my 37 years on this planet. I’m not exaggerating to say that

That back four are a collection of very bad footballers. All of them would struggle to be in a Championship team

Very impressive considering how young the side is

No selection of Swansea at home on 11th April

Just wanted to mention his best game in months was played in the evening once he can break fast

Without labouring on as well, I want my football club to have further generations looking forward rather than the past. Top’s whole justification for the retention of Rudkin is the same reasoning that saw the likes of Forest, Leeds and others hold onto the ghosts of the past rather than moving with the times.

On your first point then, that means 15 clubs have ‘broken the mould’ to surpass us from a more natural position. That’s some mis performance this season It’s a realist view I’m taking. I acknowledge that about our PL win. But I’d also take the view in the PL period, we are something like 14th best club for top flight points and in the period won multiple trophies. If we really want to zone in on Leicester’s average mean, you can take away the years from our establishment when we were placed in second tier and you’ll find we’ve played more top flight seasons than second tier I believe. But really that’s irrelevant because footballs altered along with other aspects which should really have us pushing the door open at being within the top 15 clubs with the country, it not further. The success and trophy we achieved in that period opened up coverage, revenue and opportunity that we never available to us before and that we are here with the legacy being a potential relegation to the third tier. This club has had two great opportunities to grow across the ten years and failed to leave a real impact (particularly judging from the crowds dipping back to levels not seen for a very long time). It rather sat on what it had and never did what great organisations do to alter over time. The use of evolve by the club I had to smile at given the time it’s taken to do something. You think we will compete for promotion going forward but you think a rebuild was required (one of the reasons people have protested is the lack of visible rebuild due to the club’s FFP potion). I didn’t think we’d compete either and I don’t think it will be all doom next season either if they play their cards right but I have zero trust in the ownership to do that. This season expected more of the type of performances I saw in August. Inconsistent but the use of youth with more experienced players to supplement. Either way that view is mute because the chairman has openly spoken of the belief that we would be promoted this season. Throw in the clubs continued references to the Premier League in the statements over the last two weeks, and it looks their intention to rebuild is on turbo speed. Famously we tried that with Sven, it was a car crash but Pearson started to diligently build something. The repeated errors are tiring I’d wage that the largest part of the protesters is fans who’ve seen the third tier season and administration, the strength of feeling is born within that rather than any competing within the Premier League. Personally I’ll never forgot the feeling at the City Ground when Jack Lester equalised and leaving there thinking I’m not quite sure if I’ll have a football club in the next few weeks. Fans are being asked to trust changes made by a chairman who’s been playing roulette with the club and the recent appeal to the FFP charge clearly suggests, he’d rather gamble. So that’s why I and others can’t accepting keep the faith in the ownership I also think a lot of the protesters have waited for change and it’s taken over a year to get anything. There was a very weird period between May 2025 and October 2025, where the club appeared to be operating on a very strange, slow paced basis. Then over Christmas it got worse and combined with a complete absence of leadership, the desire to protest went from being partisan opinion to something more reasoned

I’ll be honest the ‘return to normal’ rankles with me because it’s not ambitious. It doesn’t acknowledge that the club in the last thirty years has been greatly successful compared to larger clubs. Twice in my lifetime we’ve had periods of upsetting the apple cart in terms of footballing hierarchy. Aim high. Be ambitious. This is a huge city and a huge catchment area. The game of roulette being played by the ownership which risks significant impact to the city and its economy (as well its own staff) just isn’t acceptable. We are easily in the 25 biggest clubs within the country

In which case why did it take so long? Pretty terminal decision making process which has at times been delayed way too long. For example, the sacking of Ruud and the hire of Marti. Whelan’s notice would have ran for months and it’s taken this long to appoint a replacement (which would have been longer had they appointed someone from a different club). It’s been pushed along by the growing vocal discontent which more decisively gave greater media presence to the whole situation. The West Brom game in particular must have stung

It’s universally agreed that the club need to make structural changes and universally agreed that Rudkin needs to be gone. One of the latter isn’t gone. So that’s a point agreed amongst the fanbase Equally does anyone think the club would have done changes without protest? The club have been told vocally about the need for change, about the replacement of Rudkin in stands and in most FAB/FCC meetings. A good cop and a bad cop alliance almost. Honrstly I think without the bad cop, the changes don’t happen, the club continues as it is. The changes were forced by protest

Which makes the comments about numbers on protests and survey responses very mute given it’s the same names on Facebook popping up
