I love games like today. Everyone losing their mind at the line up when Facundo's performance against Fulham was beyond pathetic and Mavididi has been absolutely woeful. Whatever line up we pick will be cack at the moment.

With his injury luck; probably!

Is this actually legit? Screenshot looks a bit dodgy for some reason. If it is, then it's mental we wouldn't take it although maybe that's because we have zero confidence in being able to get a replacement in, which would tell you all you need to know about us.

He's covering for his own ineptitude. Can't believe I'm going to defend Rudkin, but the problem is just the players we signed and the salaries they are on but also the complete lack of commercial skill displayed by Top and his executive team (which includes Rudkin). Think about the success we had and the fact Leicester City became 'the' club outside of the big 6, with massively increased global fanbase and the fact that our sponsorship/commercial income was pathetic, and the decision to build seagrave before the stadium expansion. Rudkin is the tip of the iceberg. If we didn't have utter morons running the club all over, we'd never be in this mess.

Thank god Allan Young isn't on comms

FFS. Thought he sounded quite exciting as a signing but now I'm desperately hoping he doesn't sign. Can't face more time in prison

Bilal is absolutely more talented as he's consistently shown. Facundo has been poor for a few months now. And that performance on Saturday was pathetic from somebody with his ability. Decision making in particular was embarrassing for a pro footballer. Not sure he's the player I'd have gone after but can't say it wasn't deserved.

Jesus. That's the worst spelling of his name yet. Just refer to him as Facundo or even FB! On a serious note, I completely agree with you. That sub appearance was beyond woeful.

Milan is an absolute shithole. Sure, the central Plaza is nice but the rest of what I saw (which was a fair bit) was rubbish. San Siro is amazing for the history but it's not a surprise both Milan teams are looking to leave as it's the most archaic top flight stadium I've ever been to. People always talk about players moving to Leicester as though you're chained to some council estate and they must shop in Poundland at all times

44 years old so probs a bit past it

Must have completely missed all of his last season here if he was as terrible as some people are claiming. Maybe he wasn't as good as he had been, but that's just because the standards he set were so high. Only got to look at how he's been performing for Celtic in the CL to see that he's still quality.

I know there's a view that we often don't hear about signings until just before they're going to happen, which is true in some cases, it's maddening how little we get linked to players. All that matters is getting them in of course but I really don't think it helps the perception that we're not being active enough or trying hard enough. Realise people would spin that the other way and whinge that we can't get them over the line if linked to loads of that it's just a PR smokescreen to make us think we are trying. Yet another thing to dampen the mood

Forget the fact he was still one of the best keepers in the world (though there are tonnes of keepers that are good enough for the big clubs that will never get a chance), it was so obvious it would create a big power vacuum in terms of the dressing room and general influence. Could have found a good enough keeper to replace him (as we have now but even Iversen would have done) but he really was as irreplaceable in terms of the dressing room, as a player can be. Galling to see that he's basically going to be the difference between Celtic getting out of the CL group. Nothing against Celtic just don't want any excuse for Rodgers to maintain/improve his rep.

Never going to find a solution that is fair to all and allows us to get new fans in. Personally think ST holders should always get priority but they should massively increase the ballot percentage for members, and members who attend away games should get vastly more priority points than they do for each game. Logistically impossible for some people to have ever had a season ticket (me) but do try to get to away games which has become impossible recently. ST is the big commitment but even going to 1 away game is generally speaking, a much bigger effort than it is for most people to go to 5 home games. The club is amazing at pissing off ST, Members and General sale fans. So they have found something they're actually good at

Was thinking that on Saturday. What's the point in even having a corner as we're so bad at them. And it's been like that for a long time. The average team last year was in the 10-14 goals from set pieces. Seems like years since we've been close to that.

Hahahaha. Takes a lot for me to actually laugh at something on here but this got me. Probs because every thread is so bloody depressing and this actually has an element of truth to it

Donating something worth £0 doesn't really count as a donation though does it?

We know our investment has been reckless but where do they pluck these figures from? Quick scan on transfermarkt had us at around that figure but I looked at Villa who are around 1bn but not even on Maguire's list? Load of nonsense.

Seagrave or an expanded stadium? That's basically what it was and a better stadium is commercially a no brainer plus it's probably much better in terms of prestige. Seagrave was a good investment, it's just the timing/prioritisation was wrong. As it always is under this regime.

Ah, that's why we keep Hamza about. Donates his hair clippings to Top. Makes sense now.

I've recently accepted that it's utterly pointless to comment on other clubs when it comes to managerial changes/ownership issues. You're not even going to scratch the surface from the outside. Don't think anyone has got unrealistic expectations now. But even when that could have been levelled at us, we'd done all the hard work to break up the top 6 and then completely blew it. If the club had been run properly, we wouldn't be close to this position for at least 10 years and probably the most secure PL club outside of that 'top 6'.

But his reaction would tell you it wasn't. And he often plays like that. Regardless, he needed to be kept out there until that spell of pressure had wanted.

And it's exactly why we need a change of ownership, or at least sweeping changes at board level to ensure that non of the current decision makers still have those roles. Then Top is an actual conventional chairman, rather than a football chairman. Removing Rudkin will do very little.

Think dnewty has hit the nail on the head. You've missed the point about Drinkwater as it was selling a key player and failing to sign his replacement in time in what was one of the most embarrassing admin errors in modern football. Could have sold Tielemans at various points when his stock was very high (easy £60m+ after the FA Cup win) but even shipping him out for £30m was likely the season after. And he wasn't the only asset they did that with: Soyuncu probably even worse.

How do you know for certain? We'll back back in the EFL's jurisdiction so they will do everything to get us punished
