I've been out with my son all day and just seen this thread and I've all of a sudden got an excited, nervous energy. Getting rid of Hamza AND weakening Derby in one go? Surely not.

I was in Germany for work yesterday, in Frankfurt. I was watching the game on my phone and a couple of German lads came over to watch it for a bit. We were already losing 2-1 and down to ten men. They're both Eintracht supporters. Below are some of their paraphrased quotes on the game. 1: "Wait, you are in the third division? How?" 2: "I don't understand what passing the ball sideways does. Why can't you just attack?" 3: "If you have played like this for so long and are now in the third division, why do you keep doing it?" 4: "Why are you not trying to attack? You are losing." In case anyone thinks that we're trapped in a weird echo chamber and are going insane, anyone who watches us for a few minutes and has our predicament explained can see the horror of it. How KPFC loyalists and quite a few media types in this country can't see it is beyond me. I was having a nice day yesterday, visited the Waldstadion and the Eintracht museum and then that game derailed my weekend AGAIN.

I cannot fathom how anyone, of any age, would think you guys were anything but good for the club. If we got football right in this country, Ultras groups would have huge sway over how clubs are ran like they do in other countries. The fact that we have to put up with the most materialistic, overly commercial and corrupt league in the world and it's brainwashed idiots into thinking fan action isn't a good idea... eeh, makes my blood boil. Anyway, sod her. You're a bloody good egg.

Thank you for all the great work you guys do. My lad isn't a huge football fan, more comes along with me because he knows I love it (and we're making up for lost time from when I lived in the USA for four years). He still talks about being part of a tifo in his first game a couple of seasons back. I think sometimes in the drudgery of supporting what we have on-field and the bickering between sets of fans we lose sight of the fact that Union FS do brilliant stuff like this on a regular basis, and it's something that takes a lot of time and effort. Lads like you make me proud to be a Leicester supporter.

Statistically and emotionally, yes

He’s crap and made of breadsticks. Get him gone.

I always teach my son that hate is a very extreme term. You can’t be throwing it around flippantly. But from the very bottom of my soul I hate John Rudkin. He is the worst thing to ever happen to our football club.

If he did throw the players under the bus in his interview, what else is he supposed to do? Yes, his management is crap. But the players are bloody awful and one got stupidly sent off, while the defense continues to play like they’ve never met each other. Am interested to hear what he said. Hopefully be protected the young lads a bit. He can still do one.

I didn’t mind him that much last season but Benjamin Button needs to go away and never come back.

Who cares? Play the under 18s and give the alleged first team squad some actual training.

I bet we can’t even afford to sack Martin.

He will do all of that for sure. I’d respect him if he came out and slated everyone for being useless. The only thing keeping Martin employed is the fact that we’ve been awful since Cooper. Every terrible manager we appoint (and there will be more) can point to what came before him and say how hard it is to turn a club around. Which it is, of course, but we play like the team have never met each other before. Not a clue what training he leads every week because they’re bloody terrible.

Crap. All of them. We are so utterly broken as a team that I have no idea who could manage us and make us better. We are absolutely awful at everything. Nobody is turning this around.

I’m in Germany for work. Has anyone got a link to this so I can be absolutely furious?

1: Todd Boehly is never leaving Chelsea to buy us. Never in a million years. 2: If he did, he's not exactly known for being financially responsible, is he? He's only got away with it because Chelsea are one of the "big six". I know HE has money but he has a flagrant disregard for the rules and would soon realise that owning us isn't like playing Football Manager and cheating so you've got a massive budget.

Russell Martin. Has a shaky start, then we go on a massive run and we’re champions by the end of March. Barbers all over the city are full of lads asking for a “Russ”. Lucy Pinder is our new Princess Diana. Lads in stone island start caring about veganism. He even signs three ex Southampton players in the January window and we don’t bat an eyelid.

With you on both points. As soon as he laughed at their lad I thought “you are absolutely not good enough to be arrogant, this’ll bite us”.

I’m not panicking yet as the player turnover is so big and there’s still clearly players to come in and leave. I was certain we’d lose today based on that and the absolutely broken nature of the club. Was it good? God no. Can I imagine it getting better? Yes. Will it? Time will tell. Any of our teams from the last two seasons would absolutely have rolled over and got beaten today, regardless of how poor County might have been. They were beaten mentally before every game.

Probably hide the highlights of this game from Sheffield United and Wrexham.

F off Souttar. Lost your man then stood there with your hand up

ARGH

GET IN JJ

Okoli has looked much calmer at the back than Souttar today.

Souttar FFS. Well done McCarthy to be fair.

Remember how everyone said that McCarthy cannot pass the ball? That
