What Happened Next: Foxes Trust End Of Season Survey
Globalfox replied to Foxes_Trust's topic in Leicester City Forum
Couple of questions so on tickets you want the club to give back money in a Division where income is critical to what you can spend on the footballing side thereby making us less competitive correct? You say the Trust will disengage with the club by November if they do not give into your demands. Should this not be put to a vote of the Trust members to decide not a select few. It will seriously damage the Trust possibly fatally so is an important decision. -
Can you define putting a decent chunk if they put in 50 million only 25 could be used towards the team rest on infrastructure or academy. Our real problem is we still have too high a wage bill with old dross. Until we can get rid of all of them we will struggle.
-
Correct the deal has been extended full duration unclear but certainly one season.

Great news Sadler and Hughes’s offered us nothing. Keep cutting much more rubbish to go.

Toxic club - an inconvenient truth about our fans
Globalfox replied to LeePhilpottsBaldSpot's topic in Leicester City Forum
Totally with you I think the useless failures that are our players have been allowed an easy ride through this. I like supporters being different but we have been divided by selfish self indulgent players. The 23000 who have purchased season tickets have stepped up admirably now we need to dump the remaining dross of players to unite us. -
I hear a lot who did not renew have been back to rescind their decision which is really strange.
-
We need to go back to basics we just have no front men of any use whatsoever so the priority is 3 (yes 3) out and out goal scorers. Then build the rest. Without these we can just forget things as it’s irrelevant who is the manager we will fail. Yes the garbage needs to be removed. All the aging idiots, winks and Choudray the club disaffected fools, assume Monga and Fatawu are gone to fill the pot. Kristensen waste of space. We will not get rid of Skipp so we have to get a role for him. Souttar will stay so we need to build a central defense around him and Nelson. We need aright back left I am assuming will still be Thomas and at this level may be OK. We will need a pact wide man or n excellent deliverer like Albrighton.

Yeah you are the new commercial director - you get it pity many at the club don’t. Our hospitality offering has declined in line with the teams performance. Last season it was better at Lincoln for 90 quid a game. This season it’s all sold out at Lincoln. The club cannot seem to understand the various market dynamics and tailor appropriately.
-
That’s a common tale we know multiple groups who have made it clear they will not be renewing their hospitality season tickets. I have renewed my Derby, Man City, Chelsea and Bournemouth hospitality tickets. Waiting on the call from Leicester to explain what they will do better than last year.. I agree maybe drop prices in Fosse to go for volume with Premier go the other way design a really high end offering as Bournemouth have done next year exploiting maximum revenue streams leave Champions Club as is maybe a little lower.. stop using 10 person tables and ending up with away scum sitting at a Leicester table main reason I will not use Champions Club although I love Ally’s handling of the Lounge. Wonder where Walsh goes now the Gallery is closed hope he host the Premier Lounge. Across the board the food has to be better.
-
Hate to say it but Derby is better, food is better the package includes more like free parking, alcohol included for same and similar prices. The new caterer OVG was not an improvement last year. We use hospitality at every away game and the pricing difference in League 1 is substantial. I understand them reducing the options as they did not sell out last year.
-
The club sent out this morning a letter outlining hospitality offerings. There will only be the Fosse, Champions Club and Premier League Lounges plus the Executive Boxes. Surprised they closed the Gallery as last season it was probably the best food. Clear indication they are not expecting us to be as attractive to deep pocket spenders.

Latest Fan Advisory Board (FAB) Meeting
Globalfox replied to jammie82uk's topic in Leicester City Forum
At the FCC meeting the new fiscal rules were raised but noting the CEO stating they were aware nothing of real use was shared. Personally I felt that they were still unsure despising their initial SMCPsubmittal being due 6 days ago. What the CEO did say was that he was confident we are clear of any sanctions for past fiscal non compliance and that he believed he was now being listened to. These were two items I see as key to holding him accountable for as we move forward. As far as who was not listening in the past you can only assume it was the owner.the season ticket sales bode well for the ability to have a useful spend. -
Latest Fan Advisory Board (FAB) Meeting
Globalfox replied to jammie82uk's topic in Leicester City Forum
At the 90.minute session on this topic it was revealed that of a selection of 110 tickets over 50% went uncollected. The assumption being that they were not the original purchaser. This means that supporters who should be getting tickets in high demand situations are denied. The mood at the session changed in favour of reinstating sample and targeted checks. I am not surprised the Foxes Trust survey paints a different picture as the question is posed without context. Leicester is not the only club facing this issue and implementing checks with as we see here with mixed reactions. There is no doubt that loyal supporters at times cannot get tickets while those not deserving get around the system. Depending whether you win or lose in that scenario will influence your perspective. The other statistic is that not just a Leicester but more widely is those found to be causing trouble turn out to not be the original ticket purchaser so yes it is to some degree about control. -
Belvoir Drive has too many covenants and sharing agreements to be of interest to a property developer unless it was a low price. Seagrave is more viable but will need change of use permission however talk in the property world is that the club has been inviting proposals. How that translates into investment in the club seems unclear.

Does not exist brand is owned by Baratts

When he is Sacked, would you take Tonda Eckert?
Globalfox replied to Phube's topic in Leicester City Forum
Voted no the man is a disgrace and should be getting a lifetime ban from football. -
Yes we are just outside Grantham and always pleased to see the shirt. Of course we can technically claim JV is closer to Grantham than Leicester at Stainby so I claim this as a Leicester stronghold.
-
He was only here one season but everyone forget Alan Clarke 50% goal to game ratio that season and we made a profit on him. Everyone focuses on his Leeds Career

Could we go into Administration next season?
Globalfox replied to Lineker's Left Foot's topic in Leicester City Forum
Right now who knows. By my calculations if we do well then we might generate 25.8 M in matchday revenue under League 1rulrs. We can then spend 7.5million on the team plus any player sales revenue which I see as ma ing around 20M at best. The balance 7.5 M with Seagrave etc will need significant cost management as will many other parts of the club. What the owner could put in is unclear. If we cannot manage to 25M a year we deserve gointoadministration -
We fought corruption on 4 occasions and were found to be right on 3 out of the 4. Corruption cannot go unchallenged. Unfortunately the corruption continues at all levels of football and is leading to the eventual destruction of the game as real supporters will discover. The corruption and our esteemed owners incompetence are two different things. However the obscene player contracts, agents fees etc are all part of the overall demise of the game.The next TV deal may be the final watershed in football destruction as ordinary supporters are finally pushed out leaving tourists and sycophants. Football is already struggling to sell live attendance. I bought tickets for Arsenal today at face value with ease for tomorrows Champions League and there is plenty of hospitality unsold. In the evening of my supporting life it is sad to see but unavoidably true.in2016 our club raised hope but unleashed the fear and wrath of the money people. Never again will they let true hope shine again. That is the only certain thing you can predict for football.;
-
The issue is not so much the manager but the structure above them don’t believe any manager can be successful until the current structure is destroyed. That includes the owner interfering when he knows nothing about football. Once that is agreed then maybe a manager will have a chance

Serious question now the men’s team is in League 1 the EFL Handbook seems incomplete about women’s teams. It generally says there is encouragement for the women’s game but then explicitly prevents any claim against revenue from women’s matches into our Squad cost ratio. This is unlike PSR where all women’s losses are deductible. Is having a women’s team going to be a significant encumberence. Not sure the club have investigated this. anyone with any insights?

Lots of the delusional ones are the ‘family’ group I don’t want my children hearing bad things. This is not related to age that’s a miss perception.

Relegation, League 1, financial implications
Globalfox replied to splinterdream's topic in Leicester City Forum
Yes must be assessed as FMV and you can take the cash but you cannot account for it in one year they would divide by five.
