  1. Completely different to when lower league clubs have successfully done this. The owners are billionaires. I doubt they will even notice. They didn't even buy the club to make money but even if they did a boycott wouldn't be very effective and all the revenue is in TV rights, sponsorship and corporate hospitality.
  2. Funny how those "lucky" results stopped when another manager took over!
  3. Hiring Steve cooper when the team was set up to play Enzo ball was a big mistake but... Sacking him when we spent the summer and a small fortune signing his players and when we were out the relegation places was also another big mistake. That being said it looks like you might need upwards of 42 points to stay up this season and there isn't a chance in hell cooper (or anyone else for that matter) gets anywhere near that. So it's for the birds but there can't be any argument that we would be a lot closer to staying up under cooper.
  4. No one is expecting him to provide miracles. They just want a little glimmer of excitement to take the edge of the absolute misery of following us at the moment and a 15 year old getting minutes provides that. I would be getting more of the young lads on.
  5. To be fair it's pretty obviously the worst side, not even worth the question! But I still thought it was interesting to compare them.
  6. Unless I have forgotten one, This season will be our 5th relegation in the modern premier league era. Currently statistically it's the worst (0.58 points per game) but is it in your opinion the worst side we've had? Here is the competition. 94/95: 0.69 points per game Managed by Brian little who's city side managed to secure promotion via the play offs at the 3rd attempt. 01/02: 0.78 points per game Peter Taylor's relatively expensive side imploded the side eventually went down under Dave basset. Some good wins against villa and spurs after we were mathematically relegated makes the points per game a little better but be under no illusions this was a long slog of a season. 03/04: 0.86 points per game this was one of the better sides to watch on the list with izzet, Marcus bent etc it was involved in several 7+ goal thrillers usually on the wrong end of the scoreline. 22/23: 0.89 points per game the best points per game on the list but also criminal that a side with Madison, Barnes, Tilemans etc were in this position.
  7. People regularly tried to argue with the frothing morons the wanted cooper out that we were about where we expected to be under him. Well this is what being below where we should be looks like. I hope your happy.
  8. You are thick if you think that: A. This has anything to do with that so called protest on Saturday. What ever you think of them king power has given millions to local causes long before people decided to show their anger by.... walking to the ground like a normal match day https://moodiedavittreport.com/leicester-city-f-c-and-king-power-chairman-makes-1-million-donation-to-leicester-hospitals-charity/ B. Even if we follow your logic that 300 people walking to the ground mingling in with normal fans not singing has shamed them into charity pr work (which they do every year anyway) it's a lot of work to do 2 charity partnerships in 3 days I think you are underestimating how much work contractually etc goes into one of these! The running of the club over the last 4 years and the lack of transparency should very much be up for scrutiny and debate. King powers commitment to local causes should absolutely not be in my opinion.
  9. Bit of a difference between 80k a week and 80k a year.
  10. asks for unity then calls people who disagree with him "happy clapper's" and "weird". good job we didn't have you working on the good friday agreement!
  11. Here is a few recent entries in the Coady thread: Then all of a sudden it's "Oh My GoD, We ArE StReNgThEnInG a RiVaL"
  12. I've always really liked Dawson. I have seen several posters say we need a rob huth figure this window. Well a rob huth figure isn't going to be a glamorous signing. Even rob huth when he signed was 31 and had only played 3 minutes worth of first team football in well over a year for stoke. Without hindsight this place would be in uproar today if to save our season we signed Huth at 31 who was recovering from a knee injury that kept him out for over a year.
  13. I am not saying they shouldn't get booed and slated. I just find it funny that there is about 14 threads on the board abusing players and staff. Booing and taking the piss inside the ground. Then a handful of sensitive souls in here getting worked up because they haven't been "thanked" 🤣 you can't have your cake and eat it.
  14. As I said in my answer to @Dr The SinghI'm not saying don't slate them. Do what you like. But it's a bit rich to get sensitive about not being thanked by a load of blokes you just spend 90 minutes slating and taking the piss out of.
  15. If you spend the game singing "we're fuching shit" and booing and slating the players" fair play you've paid your money you've traveled down do what you like but you can't then claim to be angry and confused about not getting thanked for your support in my opinion.
  16. There is a massive lack of self awareness here! Fans simultaneously want to boo and slate the players ironically cheering when they get taken off or make a simple pass and spend the game singing things like "Were fuching shit" or "we never win at home and we never win away, got beat last week and we'll lose today" then are angry and confused when the players don't feel like walking over and thanking them for their "support". You couldn't make it up!
  17. Always been very impressed with him when I have seen him play which admittedly isn't loads but I've probably watched him more than the people who pushed tete or whoever the latest fashionable name from some shit league in Europe is.
  18. I would dispute how useful he would be. In the unlikely event he avoids any setbacks or new injuries He's gonna take fooking ages to get match sharp and even when he does he's nowhere near the same player since his first ACL he lost all his explosiveness that day. He could do a job in the championship in Enzo's weird semi central midfield position but not in the premier league as an out and out right back he doesn't drastically improve the team for the 1 or 2 months he would be available for in a best case scenario.
  19. In my opinion the protests would do well to leave the owners and their nationality out of it. There is general consensus amongst the fan base that Rudkin and wheelan need to go but I think the owners are much more polarizing plenty of fans still feel an affinity/loyalty to them and stuff like this will turn people of the cause.
  20. I know I've not read the room here but I can't be the only one who thought that was a good performance we absolutely battered them. Would have been a robbery of they got a point never mind all 3.
  21. What magical stats are these? Ruud points per game 0.57 Cooper points per game 0.83
  22. Did you read my post mate? I wasn't questioning you I was just saying that something seems to has clicked in the last 2 and half years of his career. Where his record is 39 goals in 86 games or 1 goal every 2.2 games (I wasn't far of when I guessed a goal ever 2 games)
  23. Something seems to have clicked not mathematical but looked at the last 2 and half seasons and his scoring rate is more like 1 in 2
