in the UK, you generally cannot just start marching without following certain legal procedures. While you do not need to ask for "permission" to protest, you are legally required to notify the police in advance for a moving procession. Therefore I guess certain costs may be incurred due ro the requirement for adim or managing the march. Im just curious that's all.

There is a requirement to give the police 6 days written notice and information about route, date, time and names of organisers. In reality many do not. Identifying organisers is often the challenge. Only twice have police attempted to prosecute and both attempts have failed. Of course static assembly to protest requires no notification. If that assembly then starts to move to another location the ‘march’ is spontaneous and cannot be notified to the police. In this case no ‘offence’ occurs.

Sheffield Wednesday has interested parties…

 

Why do some people think someone would not be interested in buying us? I think we would end up with a fairly decent buyer five our recent history. 

 

It is not that there will not be interested parties it is at what price. Wrexham, Birmingham and Sheffield Wednesday were all bought for sub 50 million. To get down to those numbers we would have to be in administration. Given our assets that is some way off. The biggest issue if we were relegated will be cash generation with a management that seems devoid of the ability to manage to a budget. As long as we pay HMRC administration is unlikely. I think you will find out that Top will hold on until the brand is capable of giving a larger return to him well north of amounts paid for the clubs I mentioned earlier. As such he is here for some time.

I'm not sure that spites any of the people playing for or operating the club? 

I was here before them and I will still be here after them. Auto correct should have been ‘in spite of’

Each to their own a home game for us is 3 hours total travel so we go early stay late, we drink we dine we socialize spending probably 5-6 hours at and around a game sometimes longer. Do we get annoyed at the rubbish served up yes but there is a lot more to it. Away games are even more extended, south coast is always a 3-4 day break. So we go down some new or long revisited places and people. The season ticket is a discounted way to a broader social experience so yes we will likely renew just to spite the twats currently playing and operating the club.

So i fyou give up your season ticket, then regret it and buy another 2 seasons later do you get back your 780 away priority points?

 

At the moment yes you do. However in the upcoming review of the points system they make move to a 3 year rolling program or even a1 season scheme that are operated by other clubs and you could find you lose them. If we get relegated that has appeal to the club to dangle to get some people hanging on.

It’s more than it’s been going on for years and we are just fed up of hearing about. This just drags it out more.

 

Had we not messed around fighting in the first place, we might have taken the punishment as a PL side and in a better position. All the delaying has done is meant we have taken it at our most vulnerable, when we were already struggling and our squad quality has deteriorated massively. 
 

Regardless of jurisdiction and poorly written rules, we ****ed up and cheated the rules and to our detriment ultimately.

 

Personally, what would have given me more respect for the club would have been if they’d accepted wrong doing and taken accountability and therefore the punishment. But at the same time, highlighted the holes in the PL and EFL’s rules but taken the high ground by accepting it but whilst laying down a legal challenge to make sure their rules were changed for future.

What are you on about Leicester was never in control of the timeline. Football is being mismanaged by corrupt leaders at the EPL and EFL we beat them before. This time they lost on multiple points which got us down to 6 and there is still room for argument. The EPL and EFL brought football into legal disputes only right we fight them.

The whole club is a shrine to his dad.  He aint selling 

Not while his mother is alive.

Part of football is disagreement it’s part of the experience to differ in opinions. Do I really care what another supporter thinks of me, not really because every supporter thinks they are right and of course they are wrong because I am right. That’s the charm, be within the law and celebrate the discourse. Differentiation is part of the fun.

Contributers on here have differing views on the current predicament, blaming the club hierarchy or the manager, but most lay much of the blame at the door of the players and hold them in disrespect (I have done too).

 

But, in defence of the players, take a step back and consider the following issues:

- The apparently inadequate fitness regime

- Poor personal development of players

- The occasional careless handling of injuries during the game

- Amateurish team selection

- Team formation and style that doesn't suit the squad

- Poor substitution decisions

- Poor transfer dealings which weaken the squad

I'm sure I've missed some out.

 

With the odd exception, these have been a constant of our management team over the last 5 years.  Add in the understandable negativity of the crowd during matches and the poisonous backdrop of the apparent lack of interest and incompetence of Top and his minions.

 

If you were a player who started off by putting everything into your performance on the pitch but you felt your efforts were being undermined match after match by the above failings, it's understandable that you would start to get disenchanted and disinterested, that your performance would begin to drop, that the squad togetherness would start to erode, and there would be fallings-out with the manager.

 

Could that explain our current demise on the pitch, and does that not to some extent  excuse the players? It could certainly explain why some players look to be "bad eggs". Maybe they tend to be the more experienced one who are more aware of the failings compared to previous clubs they've represented.

Sorry not having this. The players and their agents have benefitted more than anyone. This group has endless dramas, winks sulking, Vestergaard dog, Covid parties, DUI’s, slagging fans off on social media. The list goes on lazy, lack of application. Pampered. Sure there are other elements but this lot have let us down and for too long. Players get too much of a pass from supporters.

But that's been a major issue. Because of your extended time in the Prem there's been hundreds of millions of pounds going into your club. That should be enough to do what smaller clubs like Bournemouth, Brighton and others that have cemented their place in the Prem. But losing hundreds of millions in transfer fees with the wages offered to these players that you then can't move on is the sole reason you're in the present predicament. 

 

The Championship sides coming up have 'limited' resources of 100m+ to make a side to compete with the constant extra money of the settled Prem sides. When you consider you have constantly spent that much on just 2 players you can see where the advantage should have been. 

And Bournemouth and Brighton have won exactly what? Nothing and that’s the difference we reached for the stars, grabbed a couple but the cost to sustain is too high. Yes the clubs mentioned survive but fall short of real success. Leicester were not prepared for the cost of the elevated oxygen at the top. And not prepared means management at all levels. Look at Forest last season to this. Clubs with 30000 grounds just do not generate the revenues and after 2016 the corrupt top clubs pushed through anti competing rules to make sure it never happens again. It’s sad that clubs like Villa and Newcastle could do it but are now curtailed.

This was raised at the FCC by the club a few weeks ago. Nothing really of substance. Last year the club were encouraged to move early due to installation and moves for safe standing. I think this year with all the uncertainty it will be later than last year. I expect them whatever happens to hold pricing ias flat in most areas. Hospitality may be their biggest challenge.

Brilliant. Everyone needs a good Assistnat. Although it’s clearly a typo. Should have been Assistwat. 

It is indicative of the sloppy attitude of everyone at the club that they cannot be bothered to proof read things before posting. We really cannot get anything right from a PR perspective.

We looked so much better when he came on yesterday - sad but true.

No we did not we were completely awful carried no threat the whole game and was as bad as everyone else.

So what was so important for Top not to come back for the 2nd half? 

 

He had the squits?

He was on phone to a manager? 

He was bidding on ebay for a new horse?

He was avoiding possible abuse from fans? 

 

Thoughts...

He moved into a box with his wife and kids. I think he thought the shouted comments were getting too close coming from around the west stand.

Man of the match for me, Nelson not bad beyond that everyone was dogshite - again

Chap near me said it doesn’t help to boo him when he missed the penalty.

 

Whilst he is right. It’s also not helpful starting him and playing him for 70+ minutes every week!

 

Had enough of him and his footballing ‘ability’

Booing him is not meant to help him it’s meant to help me vent.

When did he go inside? Sad about chants or just a coward? Saw stewards around the bit below director area too

He got some verbals at the end of the first half from the west stand centre, spent the second half in a box with the wife and kids. Understand protecting the family but should have come back and fronted it out. Another glorious PR faux pas.

Can anyone explain to me why the club are blaming no money being spent on staying with PSR limits. It just doesn’t make sense, surely the previous years are already set in stone so this year is separate and we have yet to spend anything yet we have made money. 
 

surely they should just come out and say we’re skint as it makes no sense. 

We still have players on over inflated wages, revenue is falling over last season, no big profitable player sales. Until July comes and we ditch more of the over inflated wages you have to balance the books.

Yeah I’m with you, I just don’t know how they are going to change the priority system in a way that’s fair. It’s so difficult 

You are correct this is not going to be easy and there will be many conversations before the club decides. One thing to dwell on many with high points also spend a lot with the club, that spend could be at risk if the club get this wrong.
