  1. Gold Adidas stripes. Fluer de Lis pattern. White shorts. I personally think the retro logos are a bit wasted on a burgundy kit. Same template but in white and blue would have been glorious.
  2. Hourihane will be our manager by the end of the season, mark my words. Cheap option after another manager payout.
  3. Nope, that's not it. Collar is wrong and the pattern is a nod to the coat of arms (although quite a loose link in my opinion).
  4. It’s not quite accurate, but I imagine if you like that then you’ll like the real thing.
  5. He'll either take us up and the hierarchy will all be patting themselves on the back and filling open top buses with Thai influencers, regardless of how we do it and what it means for our chances in Championship, or he'll get sacked by Christmas and they'll put all of the blame on the toxicity from the fans. My prediction is that he will get us up, but it will be awful. The atmosphere will be flat and we'll have a few runs during the season that will surface all of the toxicity that exists right now. The club will celebrate it like it's our greatest achievement, but no one will be optimistic going into the Championship. He'll then be gone by October the following season, leaving us with no money to spend and a squad ill-suited to anyone else. It will then take us 4 weeks to hire Lee Johnson.
  6. "We have to get back to the identity of Leicester, what type of football we should play and what players we should bring." You'd think the 10-year anniversary might jog his memory of what our identity is and what type of football we should play. He is so totally blinded by the fact we won the league under Enzo, yet that was probably par when you look at the squad and budget... never mind the fact that the players had to ditch his style to get us over the line. Mad to think at the time, but I actually think not appointing Jesse Marsch was such a sliding-doors moment. I was pretty down on the idea of hiring him at the time, and I don't think he would have kept us up, but I do think he would still have got us back up automatically. The squad was too good, and I think his style would have suited them. We then would have been in a better position to stay up the following season due to his style of play. Most importantly though, Top's belief about what "our identity" is would be very different and would align much more closely with the fans' view (aggression, pressing, high tempo, etc.).
  7. Fire anyone who believes in "progressive football" and we'll be ok.
  8. It’s the ignorance and doubling down that does it for me. I just don’t know if I can put myself through it again. It’s clear that the fanbase will not be fully united again until King Power sell up.
  9. This style is so susceptible to capitulations. Look at the two CL chasing seasons under Rodgers or how we nearly blew it under Maresca. A philosophy built upon control is fine if you have the talent to ensure that you feel in control the vast majority of time. If it's on a knife-edge, it only takes a bit of end of season pressure, fatigue, injuries or teams sussing you out for that control to slip away and for panic to ensure. The players are not set up to deal with scenarios other than having control. It also requires a certain profile of player that often is hard to find. Other things like attitude, physicality, stamina, agressision, teamwork, resilience etc are deprioritised. You end up with a squad that, when the sun is shining, can look incredible, but also one that can't deal with the rainy days. For a club like us it's all a sham. It's designed to make us look 'elite' and I suspect that is why Top craves it.
  10. Hake would be another death by football, possession-merchant. Pass (literally).
  11. It’s still 20% of ST holders jacking it in. That shouldn’t be played down. As @adejo92 mentions, a lot of the renewals won’t be there there week in week out, plus they’ve now burnt through their waiting list.
  12. This idea that we should “get him out of the way” as he is inevitable at some point is slightly flawed due to the fact we have an absolutely critical squad and culture rebuild happening this summer, and we are going to let Russell Martin take it on. When it fails, and it will, we are left with the same problems we’ve had for years - incompatible ‘technical’ players that don’t really want to be here. No leaders, no fighters and a disjointed squad. Rinse and repeat. It will do damage that lasts years. I was desperate for something to get behind next season. Some semblance of a fresh start and new direction. I just hope the fact Percy says he hasn’t accepted it yet is because this is leak is designed to test the water. It’s happened before.
  13. It's almost not about whether he'd get us out of League One, it's the bigger picture. Our fans were calling him a willy puller at Bournemouth two years ago. He plays a style of play that is clearly detested by the majority of our fans and isn't very scalable. It might be ok in League One, but the minute our squad isn't better than the rest of the league, it all comes crashing down. At a time when one of the clubs main objectives should be reconnecting with the fans and trying to build some form of hope for the future, why would you do that? Why would you create an uphill battle before we have even started by hiring a deeply unpopular manager? Have they learnt nothing from Cooper?
  14. You can find an article covering the process and results here: https://foxestrust.co.uk/12501/foxes-trust-end-of-season-survey-full-results-published …and we have also put together a webpage that includes all of the results and related calls to action: https://foxestrust.co.uk/surveys
  15. The club have issued a response via the Mercury: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-foxes-trust-survery-10985843
  16. The club were shown the raw data, plus the calls to action. Those boxes are just to aid quick maths and highlight notable findings for people scrolling through, as there are a lot of questions.
  17. We have a new Technical Director.
  18. It’ll be Adidas and the home kit will those terrible oversized thick three stripes. Away kit won’t.
  19. I think we have our greatest opportunity to be listened to this summer. They have listened in the past, but only with one ear and then largely dismissed most of it. Even then I don't doubt that it all contributes to the pressure they must, surely, be feeling now. This summer they are going to HAVE to reconnect with the fans. You can get away with it in the Premier League when you are seeking out tourist fans, corporates and relying on the fact that the stadium will be full. But in League One it's a very different story. If they want any chance of turning this around they are going to have to engage, listen and then act.
  20. The Trust do get to speak to the club and the club do take note of the comms that come from the Trust. We need solid evidence to back up any points that we make, otherwise it's too easy to dismiss it as a handful of people's opinions.
  21. I think that’s called taking one for the team. You’re a star.
  22. A boycott does nothing. It just looks like we’ve given up and lets them get away with it. Turn up, ignore the players and only aim everything at the board.
  23. I think it was Percy’s recent article about the finances that said there are clauses if we go down.
  24. Can we organise a protest about protest threads looking like next match threads and confusing everyone?
  25. Especially when one of them was Kanye West. The club being as inclusive as ever.
