Theres a famous quote that states “never attribute to Malice that can equally be explained by stupidity” 😂 But yeah I understand what you are saying, so bizarre you wonder if it’s purposeful.

He must think we are totally thick honestly. That statement has riled me in case that is not very obvious.

It’s just laughable, really is. It’s a bit late to be turning up to games and issuing rally cries now you cretin we are ****ed. You can focus on the task at hand all you want we are in position where it’s out of our hands. 😂 Where was all this four months ago **** me honestly. It’s like his PA has got on the phone to him and told him your football clubs ****ed btw you might want to have a look at that 😂 No words, literally no words. I’d have more respect for him if he carried on not caring. Edit: Sorry king fox quoted the wrong post meant to get the one on tops statement.

I was more talking about the verbals than anything else. He’s always struck me as someone who doesn’t take criticism well.

Non at all. I know what you are saying about the contracts but unfortunately as I have got blue in the face saying they are completely inadequate and arrogant and will just make more bad recruitment decisions. Even the ones they get semi right like Jordan James fall through because they haven’t considered relegation to league one was possible even though they knew a six point deduction was coming in February. Not that the six points are more than likely going to make any difference. I do wish you all the best in your FM endeavours though and have full faith you will do a better job than Jon Rudkin 😂

Sorry did I say if, when we don’t win 😂
-
Oh, I'm fairly confident he might be getting some tonight if we don’t win. 😂
-
Is Top honestly turning up tonight. 😂 Been missing for the best part of the season and decided to turn up to the one game I’d actually advise him not to go to. Mind boggling. I hope he has a good time.

I’m not entirely sure if that’s sincere or double edged Davie. In case it’s the latter, first off very funny , I’ve had enough of public debates so if you want to know the circumstances which led to me taking that conclusion please do DM me I’d be happy to speak to you about it.
-
Well you know. I dunno what to say I’m at the point where if you don’t laugh you’ll cry. I’ve done my bit where I could using what I was capable of doing so my conscious Is clear and what will be will be now.

Dynamo had to take voluntary relegation to step 7 so for that to happen we’d have to loose to a bunch of students at Loughborough University. Don’t get me wrong I’m not ruling it out 🤣

Christ if Davies getting this pissed off you know it’s bad. 🤣

Premier League 2025/26 Thread
Manwell Pablo replied to OntarioFox's topic in General Football and Sport
Hmmm, have to disagree on a lot of points. Arsenal played alright especially in the second half I think, perfect example of a game of fine margins. And I think Pep knows how to keep his own players reigned in he’s won enough to know how to do that, they’ll spend today floating on cloud nine and be back to business on Monday. I get a lot of opinions like that from fellow Leicester fans as we fully witnessed arsenals over reaction to us when they beat us in 2016 which was over the top, different situation to this one imo. Couldn’t tell you who’s going to win it as city seem to have an off week in them this season but I would make them favourites at the moment. -

Also if I was Gabriel I’d be getting hold of Haalands number tonight if he hasn’t got it already and been saying fair f**cks to you for being a man and not making more out of that. Thats 100% given as a red card if he goes down holding his face. -

I have to give the Man City fans their dues, re rolling that Pannick on the streets of London banner back out today is layered humour at its best 🤣 -
Should We Have Kept Cifuentes?
Manwell Pablo replied to Trav Le Bleu's topic in Leicester City Forum
Well it’s funny you should say that as I do distinctly remember saying Marti was a symptom not the cause when this forum was baying for his blood and that top and Rudkin were more than capable of replacing him with someone worse and here we are. I’m not even sure Rowett is overall a worse manager than Marti but his appointment made me feel hopeful but underwhelmed in the sence he might pull out some of the same things he managed at Birmingham and get us lower mid table but his recent track record suggested it was going to be, yet another, poor appointment by our owners. The issue is any manager or player is setup to fail at this club at the moment. The fact they keep appointing managers who aren’t of the caliber we expect just compounds it. I do get a bit frustrated about people not listening to me and others who have done things in football, I am human and I make mistakes and I do get things wrong like all of us do but this situation is so painfully easy to unpick if you have a bit of knowledge and experience. Theres literally no point in having threads on managers or players. I know it’ll continue as we are football fans who want to discuss football. But just reassured for every Gary Rowett RVN Wout Faes or Harry Winks we get rid of there will be another waiting to come through the door because things aren’t right in the board room. It’s pointless discussing anything else but that. -
Well he’s had his time at Spurs as well I guess and I don’t think you can necessarily gage a players wages by their investments. Some people are just better with money than others and I imagine he has ventures outside of things that don’t have to go through companies house. Crude and extreme example I know but the see you next Tuesday could have won the euro millions for all we know. But yeah, in general it does support my arguement.

And @Sly No mate 45k is what the club has said he’s on. I trust our club about as far as I can throw them. Capology have him on 90k the club say 45k but I imagine that’s been neatly tied into his extension being agreed. And I can see him agreeing to an extension on reduced wages. One thing Calology does if a club actually want to disclose how much they pay a player they will disclose it as verified. The fact we pay Ricardo Perriera 80k a week on his last signed contract for example is verified, that’s subject to relegation wage deductions obviously but I’m sure you get the rough idea, there’s no exact science with player wages unless you get their P60 but that’s the closest you will get. They do however have the option to inform Capology they are paying him 45k if they wish to, as they did with Ricky. Shock horror they haven’t done that. Despite the fact they wanted to try and dispel a myth publically, informing Capology is the easiest way to do that as its industry recognised. Wouldnt suprise me if it was far lower than where Capology have him at. If someone told he’s actually sat on somewhere between 60-70k I would be willing to believe that. That lad has not been earning 45k a week during his time here. Literally is one of the most pampered players in the king power setup. Reading between the lines, he’s 30, his ego and tbf to him, getting into bed with our club with the way it’s being run at the minute, has totally stifled would could have been a far better career. 45k would still be a lot more than anyone else will offer him now and I imagine the reason he’s agreed it is because his agent can’t find him anything better because he’s been thoroughly average, for years, has had a terrible attitude, for years. So he’s just taking the best offer he can get. He’s not happy here, I think we have all very evidentially seen this afternoon he’s not happy here 😂 Which is obviously from our wonderfully footballing clued up owners. Because paying Harry Winks somewhere between 60-90k in the Championship and paying Harry Winks 45k a week in league one are the same thing. Gross miss management of a football club. The really stupid thing there will be no debate about this next season, as we are all going to know he’s, at least, on 45k in league one now as they’ve put it through an official club communication thinking relegation wasn’t a possibility 😂 It’s mind boggling levels of naivety. And this is all Rudkin. I have plenty to say on Top (the obvious one being Rudkin should have been out of our club years ago and basically lives off the fact he developed Andy King) but stuff like this is all Rudkin.
-
My main takeaway from that is at least he still only looks backwards and sideways even when he’s arguing with a supporter

Should We Have Kept Cifuentes?
Manwell Pablo replied to Trav Le Bleu's topic in Leicester City Forum
😂 Such an odd question to ask and to be honest you, I just get blue in the face answering questions like this that are so out of touch. The question isn’t should we have kept him the answer is no we shouldn’t even have appointed him in the first place. 😂 Everything comes back down to top and Rudkin. -
And we haven’t equalised and I’m afraid gentleman that’s game over.
-
Understand but honestly I do mean both. If we don’t equalise I honestly think they won’t match the 52 points of 2008 even without the points deduction. And I’m not being funny this has been one of the worst championship season I can remember in terms of the 24 teams in it. I expect all 3 promoted teams to fail horribly without serious well planned investment. Yet we’re looking like we are going to finish second bottom of it. And only second bottom of it because Sheffield Wednesday are in one of the worst positions I can remember a club of our sizes have been in in modern history. And we have the highest budget in the league. let that sink in. Your could argue 1991 but without going into the bones of it your are then in the territory of using the exception to prove the rule.
-
Well yeah they were obviously great, and I knew that was what you were getting at. I think the under lying point I was making is they would not be possible anymore.
-
Thing is we were dire back then but it was still fun. This isn’t fun. It’s chore even watching them play on tv. Seems to me there a lot of fans on both sides who either haven’t been going as long as they make out or are highly stupid when it comes to the lines “we’ve seen worse this is normal” or “I knew it was rotten all along”
-
A lot of people say that about him tbf and I don’t have a problem believing it. I think I just hit a nerve with him. Thracians fault really for continually making out to be the next Roberto Carlos.
