I'd imagine that it was a show of respect based on the entirely low stakes situation we find ourselves in.

The last acts of a desperate man.

Soumare is disgusting.

Stockholme syndrome and locked gates.

This is intensely poor.

There's a certain irony to the Rudkin out chants being directed towards an empty directors box.

Beating = on.

Praying for a road closure or traffic incident to snarl up the city center. Nothing deadly but a broken down artic or burst water main would do lovely.

Had a very similar conversation today. Only twelve or so years ago the club was begging fans to commit to season tickets. It is more or less the same administration that now refers to that same stable of fans as 'legacy' fans and is actively appealing for others to buy tickets. Even going as far as giving away tickets in away ends to fans of the home team. This isn't just being taken for granted. It's being treated with contempt. But Ruud is right. We are born and we live as Leicester fans. It's a very perceptive view from someone that played for Man Utd and Real. You could read it as 'This is a small club whose fans have nothing else and won't go anywhere'.

It's a shit excuse and everyone can see that. Almost EVERY job will require periods of time spent away from families and almost no jobs pay as lucratively as his. Zero excuses in my opinion. He'd have been out on the piss at the start of the season in Denmark whilst his Mrs was heavily pregnant. But I suppose that doesn't matter for reasons.

Where's the defense of this? It'll be somewhere. **** him off if he can't commit.

I thought winks was a great buy. If he's a symptom of the malaise then he needs to go.

In case there's confusion I'm not okay with that. Maybe we should not allocate tickets to fans who aren't actually fans and actively support the opposition on the basis that we've had a nobody in the academy. Remember this - it's a community football club. These 'fans' aren't there when we play Leyton Orient. What a scummy response.

Oh that's okay then. I'm glad that there haranguing fans then.

A recent social media post has some interview with the 'Denver Foxes'. It's so clearly who they want because they have to pay for a membership and a ticket at a premium. I was scoffed at years back when I pointed to the Americanization of football. Toldja it was happening. With reference to the tourists. This would require a formal complaint. No way that 75 tourists have accrued enough points to get an away ticket, surely. The club are absolutely hot on ticketing etc so surely fans groups should be using that against them in this instance.

I agree. But the question is when does this stop. Where does this actually change for us... Is it next season? When does he actually give up.

Do you think there's actually a chance we do that?

Didn't get the right advice then. Implement Review Assess Sustain Not rocket science in a big business.

I've been following this club for longer than some members have been alive. I've seen us ebb and flow naturally. We've been bad - Pleat, Taylor, and to a lesser extent Puel - but I've also seen the good - Pearson, Ranners, and O'Niell. I've never looked at it and wondered where this actually ends. Recently, the club has me wondering where this actually ends. The club under Pleat and Taylor had a certain stopping point. We knew that the bones of the club were solid under Pleat. We knew that Taylor was going to go and we had a core. We knew under Puel that there was success in the future. Where the **** is this club going? I would bet money on League One in our immediate future. I would also suggest that financial ruin is on the horizon. Where does this end for Leicester City in your eyes.

And genial isn't a synonym for 'good' or 'likable'.

I am not suggesting that he's anything in either camp. He just seems it. I'm not saying he IS.

From the outside this seems like an organization that allows for under performance. There doesn't seem to be any consequence or accountability. Every failing seems to be met with apathy. That shouldn't be visible from the outside. That shouldn't be a thing but even if it is there should be some semblance of it presented.

If it were up to me I'd be conducting a review of failings. I'd employ an outside entity on a one off consultants contract and get recommendations. I'd then implement their recommendations. It would be a pure focus on Organisational Management. I'd hold all staff accountable for their roles and have a universal standard applied. Ignore things like League position and focus on actual accountability. The issue runs deeper than playing staff. It's a cultural issue about the club that needs non footballing attention.

It has taken some doing but I'm now convinced that this is the worst manager we've had at the club. He might be genial, he may have some credit in the bank from his career but he does not have any form of clue about managing the team. I'd say get him gone but I don't know that would change anything. The club made the right call in getting rid of Cooper AT THAT TIME but they've failed to replace him with anything approaching sensible. They've turned a good decision into a bad one. Under Cooper we're a mess right now but we aren't in this mess.

What's the betting the club put the new ST points at 70+ in order to keep more tickets free for their coveted 'new profile of fan' and end up with a half empty stadium.
