Well, it's proof that there'll be no reset or rethink.

 

The failure to recognise the need to go back to square one, to divorce themselves from awful, demonstrably wrong misconceptions they had in the post-Ranieri era that this kind of football was the only 'sustainable' kind of football, to overhaul the boardroom, to accept that someone else may need to make the big decisions... it was always going to end badly, wasn't it?

 

If you want positives, then I wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility of it working in the short term. We might come back up, you never know.

 

But it feels very, very unlikely to me that, in the long run, it'll go down as an astute appointment. And the chances of it going wrong from the off are immense. There's an unholy level of unrest and disapproval just waiting to re-erupt, and many erstwhile KP apologists will be as bemused by this appointment as I am.

 

It's an utterly bonkers decision. A huge call. As childish as it sounds, it's as if Top is reminding us that this is his club and he'll do as he pleases with it. I believe he's capable of that degree of incompetence and egomania. There'll be fans who think that if this goes horribly wrong, and quickly, then that might work out better for us over time. Like Sousa in 2010. I'm not sure I agree, but you can see why people would feel that way.

 

When you raise eyebrows at the decision-making at Leicester City, then as a general rule your worst fears about their ineptitude fall well short of how entirely useless they really are. It'd be wonderful to be reflecting, five years or so from now, on how insanely wrong I was. But the feeling is starting to creep in that, when people warned four or five months ago that the club was on a path to extinction if it didn't correct course, that we're seeing the first motions of a 'this is exactly what you're not supposed to do' masterclass.

 

Or perhaps Josh Holland was right all along.

Agree with this. We don't learn. I can't see a appointment which does more to say " I'm not connected to what the fans what and I don't give a shit".

Absolutely baffling decisions and just shows how we've not moved forward as a club at all. 

Awaiting a reply.... Empty offices at king power

I am convinced that Top is trying to tank the club. He hasn't got the minerals to sell it up so is letting it slowly die. Administration will be his get out and the excuse will be Covid, PSR, the nasty FA and all the ungrateful fans who didn't support him. The fact he doesn't live in the same country as the club he is in charge of is the biggest clue.

It feels more and more like purposeful neglect at this point

I disagree.

 

I know people think that we shouldn't sign experience because of how awful the likes of Coady, Ayew, BDCR etc were but a side with a majority of players fresh out of youth football will absolutely need some experience around them.

 

I'm not talking experience for experience's sake but quality players who have been there and done it with the motivation to keep doing it.

 

We absolutely do need to sign some players who are going to come here and lay down the law and point out shit behaviour.

Agreed. We absolutely need a dirty bugger in midfield or up front. 

I was for GR when he joined. But his reintroduction if Winks, BCR and others is just stupid. 

Why were paying for Aribo wages I have no idea when it was obvious we needed a striker in the winter. 

I know thats not on Rowett. But his lack of use of other players and changing the team is his downfall. 

Baffling decisions by the club.

The once in a blue moon time we appoint someone externally and it's a FINANCE guy from EVERTON. 

Yeah, it's like appointing Spurs reliance psychologist. 

One thing you can say about Cifuentes is that he was at least looking towards the future. Numerous young players had there chance under him and he was weeding out the shit like Faes and Winks.  Under Rowett all those "experienced professionals" are back in the team.

Winks

Mavididi

Choudhury

Ayew

 

Probably 

Vesty. Thomas. 

Not Ayew I don't think. 

If they don't listen then drop them and out in someone that does . 

I can't find the team anywhere. Does anyone know where to find them?

Not sure why we didn't give Woyo a chance.

Because he's shit. 

My problem isn't so much with the person rather than the process and culture at the club. 

If one single person is making all the decisions with little positive tension between different parts of the club ( recruitment, manager, finance, commercial ) then it leaves itself open to corruption and loudest person in the room syndrome. 

Recruitment is hard, if you rely on agents to do it it's going to be even harder.

Apparently Braybrooke played as an attacking mid tonight? 

 

They moved him to a number 10 for the final 30 mins. He was brilliant. Should of had at least one assist. Found space, great on the ball. Passing was excellent 

The subs were strange and out us on the back foot. But the problem is the mentality of these players is just piss poor. 

Are you watching Top? What are you going to do. Get off your ****ing (high) horse and make some decisions.

As much as a striker is a priority it is BAFFLING to me that people don’t think we need defenders? We have ZERO CLEAN SHEETS IN 25 FFS 

Let's be fair, we need a whole load of players. I'm not saying we don't need defenders. I'm saying the biggest impact would be a striker IMO 

I think this isn't bad. 

Not a position which is a priority at all ( where the **** is a the striker we need! ) but not bad.

No pathway

Rubbish. Look at the number of players from the tough team in the first team squad. 

He's the short of player that if well coached ( remember he's still 21!) he could be sensational. 

I'm not sure he's being well coached right now. 

This fella deserves a chance more than Evans does. 

It's a really shit message from the club on Page. 

Around the first team, starting games then signs a contract and then back in the under 21s....

We did well shipping players out over the summer. But Kristiansan and Faes are taking up two valuable places in the squad.

Just been to this tonight and on the way out was aggressively approached by an old little skinny guy who said we were shit and had no fans.

 

He then asked if I wanted some and if I did he would give it to me.

He would give you some fans? 😜 

Does the loan market close at a different time to the permanent window?
