I think the players will all benefit from a proper, modern, forward-thinking Director of Football, so in my head those chants very much are getting behind the players and the club.

It’s £15M by the sounds of it and that is terrible business. We were under no pressure to sell as he’s on low wages and the PSR cutoff has passed. Someone of his quality and his age is £25M minimum.

I know it’s a small thing, but it irks me in that video that “King Power” is mentioned before “the club” when talking about the importance of the community.

His PR is very good.

£2M for Coady is still less the amortisation we had remaining for him, so that's a loss...without even mentioning the obscene wages he's been on for two seasons, offering very little. Nidid has worked out well, but we wouldn't have been laughing had we'd stayed up last season, Ndidi had got back to his best and then we lost him for £8M. Mads is leaving for about £10M less than he should be. Meanwhile, we are still lumped with Vestergaard, Soumare, Faes, Kristianson, Ayew, BBR, Justin, Daka etc. No credit should be heading anywhere near Rudkin.

Those topics can become politicised, but they are not in themselves political messaging. Being inclusive and respectful to all, regardless of race or sexuality is not a political statement. Poppies commemorate any British national who lost their life in a war, it does not commemorate or support those wars or conflicts.

Nothing was photoshopped off, as I said last week you could tell by the way the shirt was hanging. People were seeing the change in reflection of the stripes and thinking it was photoshop.

I've had enough of signing Dick's.

Bet Wright also quite prominent.

I get the hate, but what surprises me is that he seems to get more of it than players like Vestergaard who are equally as bad, equally as culpable, have an equally bad attitude and with the added bonuses of being unavailable a lot of the time because he’s fallen out with the manager

I’m not actually sure if that has been photoshopped. The way the shirt is hanging and creasing doesn’t look like there was a huge sponsor there originally. I suspect they are delaying this to try and brush it under the carpet and to get more of KBet’s absolutely 100% legitimate online presence sorted. If they have u-turned, it won’t be because of fan reaction, we know that much is certain.

Only 8% of fans in the Trust survey think the clubs fan engagement is good and yet the tone of that statement is one of a roaring success. This was the clubs chance to admit it needs to do more to communicate and engage with the fans. This was their chance to at least propose that a board member will be communicating in some way, but no...nothing. Nothing will change whilst the club can hide behind the FEF and call it progress.

Memories of watching this match on Central on a Sunday in 95.

The action points in the most recent communication are regarding the the clubs immediate response to the survey results. The 5 calls to action within the survey findings are still valid.

That’s just the taping the players use.

Two different tones of pink, why?

The third kit won’t be black as the away kit is navy. It needs to be light.

We put far too much emphasis on interviews and presentations. With every appointment we make it comes out that they impressed Top with a presentation, which then changed the direction the club chose to go in. I genuinely think I'd stand a shot at being appointed if I got an interview. Well run football clubs don't work like this. They do interviews, of course, but they are well researched going into them and know what they want. They don't let a banging powerpoint presentation sway their thinking from, say, an old school manager to, say, a Cruyff inspired continental manager.

It sounds quite similar to Enzo. Did well, but the style started to grate towards the end. I’m hopeful that a couple of seasons with QPR will have knocked some of the total football idealism out of him.

From my Hammarby supporting mate: “Hope you enjoy endless passing the ball back and forth without progressing up the pitch.” ”…sorry to say flexible would be the last word I would use to describe him.” ”Towards the end people were losing their shit in the stands as we were once again not even getting into the final third the moment an opponent decided not to press high.” 😬

The collar is even similar. Make that gold, the piping + sleeve trim blue and it would look like an Adidas take on the title winning kit.

That is AI. On the actual shirt they've changed the colour of the fox on the badge to match the gold.

Yes.

King Power don’t have £15M to give anyone. If they had money ready to invest in the club, but can’t because of PSR, then they would been pushing ahead with the stadium expansion…or at least some of it. They are clearly skint and I suspect this deal has multiple layers of shadiness going on.

To do it once was unforgivable, but this, even by their standards, is absolutely disgusting. Get them out of our football club. Now.
