Freeman's Wharfer

It’s a strange one that it looks better in slow motion and it’s usually the other way round with tackles. In real-time, he absolutely flew into that tackle and small margins from the Oxford player getting badly hurt. There were minimal protests on the pitch to the red and only a few more from the away end. It was a red card.

One of the lowest IQ Leicester away ends I’ve been in today. Some seriously concerning comments and chants throughout the duration. Majority of lads I know from UFS have degrees, good jobs, sense and compassion. Judging by today, the fan base needs more like them and less like the scourge that was in that stand this afternoon.

Really good summary and, in some ways, reassuring for people to see and acknowledge what UFS and the Trust are up against at times. 17 attendees in total there last night and the club use these sessions to funnel in what they want to for discussion at the higher levels of the Fan Engagement Framework. The Trust achieve a survey with 3,214 responses and that doesn’t seem to hold the same weight… You could blame the fan base for not going to these things and having their say, but I suspect many have lost faith in the impact of these sessions or that the Club will do anything based on what is said. This would be backed up from the Trust end of season survey finding that only 4% of fans agree the Club takes action on issues raised in the Fan Engagement Framework. Plenty of things very clearly raised and agreed on in the room last night. The test will now be what we see change off the back of the session…

There are decent parts of the city center in pockets. But unfortunately there’s been no effort to link them together in a way that means you don’t have to walk through some bad parts to move between them.

They’re being run by a madman who’s making erratic decisions and acting on impulse. But they’re still in a far stronger position than us despite having had nowhere near the success and opportunity we’ve had in the last 30 years. Says it all about the unforgivable decline of our own club.

Has that money hit the charities’ accounts yet? And when it was taken in July/August why did they still not have it by the following May? The 4 dedicated charity fixtures were a bit random and seemed to be a reason to hold onto the money a bit longer. I remember hearing some speculation that there is a PSR advantage to holding the money in the club’s foundation/charity account and those 4 fixtures seemed like a way to hold it for a tad longer (in a “once we’ve also got these 4 games done we’ll hand it over). Has the club confirmed anywhere that the money has actually gone, when and what it’s been used for?

Has anyone seen or heard what happened to the £25 loyalty tax we were all forced to pay at the start of last season?! Surely it would be easiest PR in the world for the club to show all the fans who were held over a barrel to keep a physical season ticket card how that money has helped their chosen charities…. Or has it not reached them yet?!

Nice of the selling club to let us know that we have the option to buy.

Who’s taking accountability for this one then? Your only signing when you were cash strapped in January and he’s barely played and now walks out of the door to another club with us no doubt still paying a decent chunk of the wages. In a club with standards and accountability, someone would carry the can for this one. Not here though.

Reminder that a loan with an option to buy is a liability rather than an asset. To keep them we’ll have to spend and if we don’t then the squad gets smaller and we lose value vs having even the solid yet unspectacular players like McAteer, Ndidi and Justin on the roster. Its not a ‘clear out’ if the vast majority of players leaving are the ones in the middle of the pack rather than those who detract rather than add value at the bottom of the pack (Decordova-Reid, Faes, Soumare, Daka etc)

Surely you’re not serious?! So we’ve sold some solid squad players (like Justin, Ndidi and McAteer) and two of our three best players (Hermansen and BEK) for fees that could have been much higher. And then we’ve just borrowed a couple of other players and signed a freebie. Meanwhile Daka, Faes and Soumare are still here taking home decent wages and on that pathway to being more players we paid sizeable fees for and they walk out the door for nothing. This window - and the virtually zero spent - shows that the financial situation at the club is much worse than anyone probably anticipated at the start of it. And that’s a situation for which Rudkin is largely culpable.

From those who claim to know what he’s like, it sounds like, at best, we’ve hopefully got a bit of a Piroe-esque striker. Won’t get involved much or do much in the build up but will find the net with decent regularity if chances are created for him.

And, suddenly, the arrogance and petulance of the man all makes complete sense…

He’s always got himself back in after he’s been dropped but unfortunately that’s part of the problem. He then relaxes, believes his own hype and becomes a problem.

He was rubbish in the PL, and needs to play his way back into form after a poor season last year, but unfortunately for him a generational talent has come along and will have his shirt off him soon enough. He’s looked a bit mopey to me this season.

He can’t pass. Doing an excellent job of ensuring Faes will be back in the XI very soon if he doesn’t leave.

Impeccable timing by me there. If I say people are writing Patson Daka off too early, is that how this works?!

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Mads Hermansen will play at a higher level than Leicester City consistently over the next decade. The confidence in Stolarczyk is also far too high at the moment in my opinion. Jury still very much out on whether a promotion-chasing Championship side should have him as number 1.

Now that would be interesting if done by LCFC wouldn’t it?!

Both Sunderland and Ipswich have done quite well in the transfer market recently, particularly buying younger players on their way up. The fact both have seen value in him holds some weight in my mind. Personally I quite like him. He’s got a bit of pace, technically he’s pretty sound and he’s got that rare knack of getting into scoring positions. I’d keep him. There’s certainly a long, long list of others I’d sooner see out of the door before him.

Horrendous chant. Even worse for a 16 year old kid

It’s taking the word ‘supporter’ in the most literal of senses: we are the Supporters Club, therefore we must support the Club no matter what. No room for nuance or critical reasoning at all.

Rough estimate by looking at what’s left that there are about 210 remaining for anyone wondering.

Simple. Du du du, we’ve got Jeremy Monga. Du, du, du, the boy knows how to score.

Pretty sure Russell Martin will be on this list.
