You can’t stay up with this defence. You simply can’t. It’s absolute basics. Not even a Dyche or a Moyes would improve them, they just aren’t up to it. If only we’d had some warning…

How can they lie if they don’t speak?

75% is far too high for any resolution, especially one the Trust is briefing against. Time for a new group?

Close, but it actually means there is a £10 charge to access the website today.

I think “board” is suitably vague. Top is seen as the owner, not the board. If we just go after Rudkin then it risks becoming abusive and a witch hunt. Plus an upturn in recent results takes the heat off the on-pitch anger, for now. Besides, if we only put pressure on Rudkin the best that will happen is that he’ll get a job title change and it won’t really make a difference. He’ll still be Top’s right hand man, making all the decisions. We can’t ignore the shambles off the pitch. The club has treated the fans with total distain in regards to pricing, fees, ticketing, safe standing, supporter groups, FAB etc etc. They won’t communicate, unless when it is to defend one of those decisions or double down on how above board the gambling crypto sponsor is. Take the footballing side away from it and we still have every right to be angry. We have to reflect that and we have to heard. Focussing only on Rudkin doesn’t achieve that.

The kind of win that can swing things. The ancient forward line did us no favours in the first half, but once we got in front it was handy having them on the pitch. Some standout performances today and way more fight than I was expecting to see. I actually thought we were really poor in the final 25 minutes, but managed to hang on due to how absolutely dreadful Spurs were. It was such a good time to face them.

That Spurs defence and team is there for the taking and then he picks THAT attacking group. Mind boggling.

Is he trying to get sacked for the payoff?

Spoiler alert: we won’t.

I literally posted the quote that says “it takes the investment up to…” which very much makes out as if it is fresh money. They know what they are doing.

Another wonderful decision to give him a new contract.

It is an indication of the loans Top / King Power have needed to provide to tick along. KP’s aim was always to make us self sufficient, but the incompetence recently has caused us to haemorrhage money. The club is trying to dress it up as new investment: “This latest debt-to-equity conversion takes the Srivaddhanaprabha family’s overall investment during its ownership of Leicester City to over £420m.” It is not new money, it’s a conversion of previous loans.

It is not a huge, huge boost to the club. It’s taking loans from KP and Top and turning them into shares for KP and Top. It’s just a different way of paying them back, if or when the club is sold. They were never going to get the money back whilst they owned the club. It’s purely shifting things around to avoid this new PSR rule around interest on owner debts. A lot of other clubs are doing it. It could also be aimed at making us more attractive to investors, but I doubt it. It’s not new money being invested, which is how the club are spinning it. Don’t believe the hype.

Accumulate debt due to incompetence > Move it around due to upcoming rule change > Spin it as a sign of commitment. Welcome to King Power.

I think RvN comes out of that article a lot better than anyone else. We know the board are a shambles, but I think we have to seriously start looking at the players now. They are too comfortable and too well connected to the likes of Top and Rudkin. No wonder Coady keeps talking about the togetherness at the club being incredible, you get rewarded with big lucrative contract to spend everyday in a wellness spa and then moan to the Chairman every time the Manager has made you sad. Too much power, too much money, too much comfort, and not anywhere near enough fight or standards. Get them all gone.

Us fans get accused of being entitled, but I think we’ve had a big problem with it within the squad for years. Whole culture needs tearing up.

My point is, we won’t spend it wisely. It’ll be attempted short term fixes at inflated prices.

We’ve done it so that it gives us some PSR wriggle room to spunk some cash up the wall this window.

Being spread too thin is not an excuse for getting big decisions, like managerial appointments wrong. It’s not an excuse for a lack of direction, joined-up thinking or communication. It’s only really an excuse for slow transfer dealings. As for the players liking him, that’s partly the problem. Everyone has got too cosy and close, there is no ruthlessness or standards anymore.

I’ve done the same, apart from one coffee that tasted like piss.

I doubt they will slap an embargo on us straight away as it serves no purpose. The embargo has nothing to do with punishment and everything to do with stopping a club spending if they are forecast to fail PSR for that season. A summer transfer window embargo weakens our chance of passing 25/26 PSR because we won't be able to sell players if we can't replace them.

You are right, it’s not our job to run the club, but it is our job to hold those whose job it is accountable for their actions and their continued incompetence. Clapping along helps nothing in the long term.

Just a reminder that any replacement will be from the usual, unimaginative pool. Either that or they will give Brian Barry-Murphy a shot.

This is good, but shouldn’t be solely focussed on Rudkin, that won’t solve all of our problems. Ultimately Top makes the calls, for example he decides when to fire managers and chooses the replacements. Off the pitch is also being run at an equal level of incompetence. SACK THE BOARD.

TalkSport saying that we were all chanting for Ruud to be sacked and making a huge deal out of it, whilst not once mentioning all the sack the board and Rudkin out chants.
