Freeman's Wharfer

I want the Johnstone’s paint trophy or whatever it’s called now. Just that and League Two left on the bingo card in English football for us so let’s go hard at it and try and get it in the cabinet for the sheer ridiculousness of having it there next to the Premier League.

He’s a great story teller so that in itself made for an entertaining couple of hours. Biggest pearl was that he was offered the job before Ranieri. Bit too much Celtic chat for my liking. Get the sense he’ll either be staying there or back to his retirement, no chance he wants to get involved with the current debacle here.

This part is particularly illuminating. In all honesty, yes you could have been stronger at holding the club to account and challenging, Jordan. But you then at least go on to say all of the things that you probably weren’t allowed to say and have clearly been wanting to say for a while.

A match befitting of the whole thing: absolutely dire.

You might have missed this on the call last night, or be commenting without having seen it and the explanation of the distribution approach, but 15,000 hard copy leaflets were handed out before four matches, all other fan groups were alerted to the survey and asked to push to their members and the Supporters Club took leaflets to put on their coaches up to Blackburn away. You literally could not do more to widen the sample than just Foxes Trust members. The club know the sample is good and they are not in any way questioning that. What they possibly are at risk of misunderstanding is that this isn’t simply a case of only unhappy fans taking this survey - sure there might be a slight slant, in the same way you’re more likely to do a review after a bad experience, but the numbers and overwhelming trends in the data mean that is flawed logic.

‘European semi final’

Email came to me today about it being cancelled

Can’t move on social media without adverts to buy tickets for this popping up.

It’s a bit crap, isn’t it?

Would go down well in the stadium right now

Exactly what KPFC would say…

“We always knew this year was just about survival”… Well this just shows that to be utter nonsense.

Not seen it discussed or confirmed elsewhere but I wondered if part of the proceeds going to LCFC In The Community was to actually keep some people in a job that they might not otherwise have. Personally, I don’t want to contribute to the Vichai Foundation after the £25 Loyalty Tax went there and we’ve never heard anything since about where that money went and how it helped.

Which questions did you think were loaded/leading?

It’s funny, what I’ve seen in recent months with the protests and the surveys is this absolute desire for some to be ‘proved right’. ”Protesting like that, it’ll never work - you should do it x/y/z way”. “The only way the club is going to listen to the protests is if you paint the stadium red, stage a sit-in protest in the changing room and stop giving the club your pocket money”. “Good luck to those protesting, but Aiyatt won’t care one bit mate”…. Trust mobilises some form of action and offers up FREE MEMBERSHIP - like a membership tier WHERE YOU LITERALLY JUST NEED TO GIVE YOUR NAME DOB AND EMAIL ADDRESS - and people are like “ah, don’t think the club will listen to the Trust”. Trust runs a survey that tries to cover the vast majority of issues affecting supporters today and you get people going “bit long isn’t it?” despite it taking 5-10 minutes to complete. They then spend at least 50% of said 5 minutes writing critical posts about how the survey takes too much time or won’t make a difference. There’s a whole heap on fans who would rather be able to say “told you so” than actually do even the smallest inconvenience to try and do something/anything!
