As a dirctor ian bason should not be commenting on the views of any candidates... As a candidate he should not campaign under the auspicies of the trust such as apprearing on a podcast episode called the foxes trust interview and warning against voting for reform candidates... Whatever, this whole thing isnt surprising.... is it? Forsure its time for a change. The tactics of the old guard have failed. Anthony seems to control everything. The club needs feedback and challenge... kowtowing has allowed Top to carry on relying on poor advisors (asuming he is taking the advice). To attract a big membership and to be relevant the trust has to be more than a group of sycophants.

Out of interest... do i breach it everytime i cc someone to a new contact?

Also... the reply relies on the fsa input. Yet this does not tally with the feedback from the fsa.............. oh dear!

As a board member, did mr bason comment on candidates in an election? As a candidate did he knock his opponents ...aka campaigning under the auspicies of the "foxes trust interview"? Yes to either is a breach.

I would be very concerned if digby had access to the ongoing voting.... anyone know of he does?

We all watched the video. As a board member, did mr bason comment on candidates in an election? As a candidate did he knock his opponents ...aka campaigning under the auspicies of the "foxes trust interview"? Yet presumably he could do it all again? Everyone will make up their own minds and upon the credibility of this process. To be effective we need a trust with a large membership... and that requires fans to believe the trust is worthwhile.

A mate just back thailand and malasya... lcfc shirts everywhere. This should be our leverage. (Nb top owns the club... but KP are implicated) What do we want?... imo either top gets better advisors or he must go. So the best protest is to embarass top and kp on social media in thailand.

Agree.... but who will lead thus change. We can see its not rudkin. The new dof coukd do so ... butbi expect they will employ a yes man. My hope is that top feels he is being made to look a fool and gets rid of rudkin and herilhy

Anyone use the hub today? I am in Toronto. It was rubbish. Glitches and bits of commentary form "the future" playing of the current pictures and current commentary is anyone from the club looking at this? How do I get my money back? I thought I was watching a football match not a bunch of guys in Leicester shirts demonstrating how NOT to defend.

The fab is a duscussion forum. The fab cannot force the club to say or do things.... So why is the club so wary? Frankly in any customer facing business it is essential to listen to customers. In my working life i have always valued the opportunity to understand my customers.... and i have used this insight to ensure we are responsive and keep them happy. Maybe the club is so out of touch with fans because it does not listen.

This is the problem with the club selected fab.... it is an echo chamber of sychophants. 2 members are elected by the fcc from the fcc who are all club appointees. But one fcc chap who failed then get appointed via the "open interview route" (... this was a mechanism for fans without other routes... so while not against any rules it seems to be out side the spirit and denied a place to an more questioning fan). The fef is a joke amd needs to be re designed. It is a tick box to avoid any challenge to the club.

Maybe the coach driver will drive hone at half time

What if he is busy picking up coins thrown by qpr fans?

Monga to be sold to pay the wages and the catering bill.

This wasnt a mistake or system problem... it was a cashfkow management decision. All suppliers should now insist on cash with order

This is why the fev is unfit for purpose. When youve got a group of ckub endorsed members they are mever goibg to say that this in unvelieveabke. Listening to bason on BTG you would think the fab is perfect. Vote bason if you think this is acceptable.

Struggling to make payroll. Not good. If things were to melt down then this is how it would start. My own concern is that kingpower has much bigger issues than leicester city. So the club is in top's hands and we know he has poor advisors...

the club did confirm 19th as payday

THis looks like a contract to me.

Another stunning piece of pr. Either anthony is a fool or top ignores him. The wording suggests they rraluse hiw appauling this is abd how it will land yet thry have done it anyway.

We reformers want a trust that is relevent and stands up to the club to improve the club. To be important we need to increase membership... and that will only happen if fans believe that trust membership is worthwhile. We do want a much much better FEF. And we do think a board with diverse opinions and reasonable churn is healthy. Times are changing. The board of the trust is too tired... they are not wicked... but their softly softly approach has failed us all. .. their day is gone

Some people are scared of change and defend the status quo. But it is high time for change.... look where we are. Things are changing in football... and that includes the role and position of supporters trusts. Look at the mess our club is in on and off the field. Top seems content with his advisors... but even his latest pr initiative seems to have made things worse. So, our supporters trust must be able to speak up to encourage the club to be much much better on and off the field. Look where the trust's appeasement (a diplomatic strategy of making concessions to avoid conflict) has got us. So we need a trust with a new appoach. Now mr Bason is playing the "project fear" card.... he is scared yet he is mistaken.... its not about protest or "walking away". Yes we do want a better FEF... yes we do want a trust that will call out the club and work with the club to make the club better.... and to make the relationship with the fans better

We should never over pay wages as it prevents us from moving players on. We should sell any player who will not extend their contract with 12mths to go. The book value does not represent the current msrket value of a player. I doubt we should ever sell for book value.... sometines it will be higher some lower

Yes it is unfortunate - they weren't so significant when we dreamt of reforming the foxes trust... but it would be confusing to change now! However, after this election we can just focus on moving forward as the foxes trust as a whole. In the long term we want a healthy trust with a range of contributors of different views and a reasonable churn. Ian bason keeps saying we want to walk away from engaging with the club but this is untrue - we want to work with the club so that they engage with the fan base much much better.... offering democratic access and responding to the concerns of the fans... (The FAB is a joke in this respect-- and "the 5 levels of engagement" are there to allow the club to be distant from difficult issues!) Similarly we want the trust to be professional, open and clear in articulating where the clubm ust do better. I see this as a journey.... that both radical and non radical fans can see as a good thing. Soon we can stop talking about "the old guard" v "reformers" and instead talk about a trust focusing on working to improve the club's performance and its relationship will ALL fans. So the R word may not be with us for much longer if that helps....

I think abdul will set the world cup on fire. He was africa's youmg player of the year a few years back. This is his destiny
