I wonder how long they spent choosing an emoji to go with this tweet. 🎪 would have been more apt.

Basically "One of King Power's pawns sent in because Aiyawatt has ****ed it".

Too late mate. You've had 7 years to stop treating the fans like something on the bottom of your shoe.

Not in a position to listen to this yet but it's hilarious they've decided to have this all filmed in some luxury office space in Bangkok. Get over here and do your job.

They've spent about £350m since he joined them in 2023

He's just finished putting Villa on the brink hasn't he? Don't think many (if any) of his signings have helped there. it's only really Morgan Rogers and Pau Torres that have done well for them.

By the way, it is ****ing laughable that we don't have a commercial director given the money involved in football these days. We are so far behind it's unbelievable. It's great that Aiyawatt and Rudkin have finally cottoned on to the fact that the pair of them don't have a ****ing scooby doo but they should have followed this media briefing with a pair of resignations. They have done untold damage to this club.

It'll be Aiyawatt's brother Apichet.

It's incredulous that that limpet Rudkin is getting a promotion in all this. Failure after failure after failure and he keeps worming his way up the ladder here.

I can't be the only one thinking this is going to be a complete and utter disaster? Rudkin and Aiyawatt cannot be trusted. They have to go.

He's about as brave as a church mouse. Simply not up to it. The blokes a complete wimp.

Wonder what the odds are for Crawley to get out first ball.

You're not wrong but Carse literally considered having his toe amputated because it causes him that much grief last winter.

What do you mean? This a forum and we're having a discussion about this supposedly racist chant and how it was discussed on the WYS pod.

Quick bit of research (chatgpt ) says that he's a while off of Frank Womack's record of 511 football league appearances for Birmingham without a goal. In terms of modern football it's Tony Hibbert who had 328 appearances for Everton without scoring (but did score in his testimonial ). Not certain but I think Leicester's record belongs to Danny Simpson who went 113 games without a goal. Soumare is currently on 106 so breathing down his neck.

I didn't say you did. The person who was being interviewed on the When You're Smiling podcast did though.

I think it's more that the advert/wording and link looks that dodgy that it makes you think they've been hacked.

"Sell the club and **** off home" was sung very loudly in the spell between their goal and Bobby Reid's equaliser.

This was always going to be the problem with relying on Stokes, Wood, Atkinson and Archer as your big wicket takers.

Because it doesn't have racist undertones. People suggesting that are looking for a reasons to stop the chant because it's the first time I've heard loud and clear Aiyawatt/King Power Out chants. Everything up to this point has been anti-Rudkin. If he was from Coalville but preferred to spend all of his time sitting on his fat arse playing Polo there instead of doing his job I'd still sing that chant.

I don't see why they shouldn't be very confident. Their defence and midfield is about as good as it gets and everyone in their team chips in with goals. They remind me a lot of Mourinho's first Chelsea team where they've managed to build a perfect relationship between individual quality but also a defensive unit that's pretty bloody tough to breach. They've conceded 5 goals in their 17 games this season and have scored 35. They're an extremely formidable side. I would say the only team that'll challenge them is Man City and they're a mile off their best. The Man City that routinely won titles were a lot better than this current team.

Absolutely. I don't trust that we'd do it with Rudkin's team and methods. The club needs an attitude shift and that will only happen when he and Aiyawatt go.

Absolutely but it's not impossible with good scouting. The right attitude and physicality is most important IMO. We can't go up and sign a squad full of wimps with shit attitudes again. We need to target players with a point to prove and those who can (and want to) run all day.

Yep it's literally the only route to success. I could see us getting away with starting Fatawu, James and maybe Stolarcyzk but we'd have to spend north of £100m to survive. Midfield general, flying fullbacks, ultra physical centre halves, brute of a striker (that can score goals) and pacey winger all needed.
