Exactly. And the pushback on here is "what are you doing about it" and it's quite tiring, because lots have done admirable things to try and do something about it, but they're still as pathetic and legless as ever. Nothing wrong with being a club shill if you're just honest about it. The supporters club basically are, the Trust should've just dropped the pretence ages ago. Confidential meetings where we learn nothing, mealy mouthed statements and the spin that they're making an impact. As competent as the club they claim to be holding to account.

Not just targeting this at Blackburn, but any football club that gets salty about manager's making choices about their own career moves can firmly get in the hypocrisy corner and sit very very quietly. An industry which dispatches managers at a moments notice, whether a shiny new one comes around the corner, you go on a bad run or generally just feel like it. You get the loyalty you deserve. Fvck any bitter boardrooms who think any football manager owes them anything.

Feel like every fvcker was linked with us when Mandaric was in charge and that 2007 period. Back in the day I used to be a right sad man and scanned loads of LCFC-related articles. Dumped them on Flickr ages ago so get a sense of the amount of players and managers we were linked with around then, was ridiculous: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcfcseasonreviews/with/34322565561 (as an aside, you all might enjoy this one, too: https://flic.kr/p/Td89V5)

Proper in the category of only watching RR & Wrestlemania these days. Really enjoyed the women's RR and the ladder match. Fell asleep during the men's RR and that was when watching it in mid-afternoon .

Good luck to the weirdo "I'm alright jack" selfish people who are going to this. Enabling billionaires and watching us lose. What a point to prove 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't worry too much, this user you've quoted is so far up Top's arse he's having a tonguing match with Rudkin. Don't feed those who would still be wearing their knee pads even if we were in the National League.

Don't get impatient for the answer from him, he'll have to wait until the Daily Mail or right wing echo chamber tell him which ones that fits his narrative. Hope we hear soon though.

I think some people seem to forget that players might just have other priorities. We always love to talk about Assou-Ekotto and how he didn't really like football, he was skint good at it. For him, moving to Saudi and earning a tonne of money would've been ideal. Some people just want to maximise their bank balance, and tbh that's okay? The majority want to win something but if Duran spent his entire career at Villa what would he realistically win? Maybe the Europa or a cup under Emery. He might have got a big move but who knows. Form tailing off, injuries can happen at any time. Essentially he's being offered the chance to earn £20m a year tax free for 3-5 years, there's no way his place in the Colombia team is at risk as one of their biggest stars, and he could saunter back into a Villa-level team in five years and he'd only be 26.

Such a shame the Australian one was cancelled after two seasons. I really, really enjoyed both for completely different reasons. Also love that they just let them drive themselves to their missions, too.

I thought the same, I assume they just want all away fans not on coaches to drink in Birmingham and train in/out as quickly as possible. Is there a more unwelcoming or restrictive city for away fans drinking (not counting a high risk/bubble) than Wolverhampton?

The encapsulated problem. For me. Individualistic. It's exactly how they've been able to get away with this nonsense pricing, because someone will always pay it. There are plenty of people who, like you, can afford to go and can make the time, but they are rightly taking the high ground and refusing to pay a minimum £50 for a ticket to a fourth round FA Cup game on TV on a Friday night. It absolutely stinks, and when they inevitably get rid of the £30 cap I hope there's plenty more collective disgust than there is "I'm alright Jack".

And it's worked to a tee. Look at them all in this thread. Very quiet over the last week but this PR piece has them crawling out of the woodwork to defend a billionaire scrabbling for credit.

Like when an abusive husband buys a Givenchy handbag. All is forgiven, what was wrong with them in the first place?

Great headline though, just as momentum starts to build against his increasingly terrible ownership of the club. Some would call it convenient timing...

Yeah anyone who goes to this deserves to have their season ticket raised 50% and remove the £30 cap for them on away PL games. If you're willing to pay these prices then you're silly enough to pay anything.

Yes, as others have mentioned, the whole issue of searches is completely inconsistent nonsense at the minute. I get the bag search, even if I still think it's a bit much, but the fact people are searched basically on the whim of the stewards is what sticks in the craw. If you're not searching everyone, then how is it decided? Every tenth person? The vibes you give off? The conscious/unconscious bias of the stewards? Cos they're bored? You do everyone or you do no one. You can't pretend you're taking our security seriously if you're not going to check everyone going in. All it comes across is as performative nonsense if you're not going to do it properly.

Bluetintedspecs proving perfectly what we're up against here. Happy clapper, KPFC in action. No depth is too low because we used to be shit, and then we got good, so behold what you had and never ever complain. I'd say he careful what you wish for but you've already got it. A dysfunctional football club with terrible owners and upper management who have let this club rot. Worst thing is when times get good the likes of you love to say "ah I stuck by them through thick and thin" but the issue is too can't look past your nose at what we could be instead of banging on about what we were.

To say you're not as negative as everyone on here, and then immediately say that we fluked a title win is absolutely incredible Nothing quite as negative as incorrectly shitting on this clubs greatest achievement.

Bit weird all this GK talk. What's wrong with Ward?

All true - but I'd also say that tickets for QPR were significantly cheaper than league games. In 2002 when we moved we built it and they came - but they had games as cheap as £10 for adults in Division 1. After relegation in 2004 numbers stayed strong but slowly dipped off. I've no issue in us expanding and don't really fear empty seats like others, in fact I think the novelty factor would improve attendances alone - but I just think people should have a realistic expectation that at the current pricing model if we opened our expanded ground tomorrow with a 40,000 capacity I'm not sure how often we'd sell out outside of the "massive" games.

Sorry, another non-Leicester post, but I went and did the pub quiz at 1912 Sileby Club last week. Seems like a nice place - darts team/boards going on at the same time. Never even been to Sileby before but a friend moved there so popped along for it. Seemed like a really friendly atmosphere on the face of it.

Fantastic trio - have always been a fan of Logan. Thought it was ridiculous that rather than let her take the ITV number 1 gig post Lynam, they let her do it for two years and then bought Steve Rider from the BBC. She is great. Chapman and Cates speak for themselves, but Logan I feel has always been underused. As mentioned, those who were desperate for it to be Alex Scott to spew bile will be so, so disappointed today, though they'll probably claim it as some kind of "victory."

This lot and their supporters. Absolute lmao I swear to god when parts of this country are experiencing their third flood in 12 months because of climate change, they'll still be on FB complaining that the council hasn't cleaned the drains, or that "it's always rained, we're in BRITUN man." Still, I guess it's easy to cover your eyes and ears when you know the real disasters will hit other parts of the world, and they'll probably be dead before the catastrophic impacts in the UK hit.

That's what happens when you put nearly half of your league into the playoffs, I guess. It's mad, $37.5m and relegating Olsen for him. Maybe he'll get better - he does seem like a determined and driven man, but I don't think he uses the telestrator on plays, he doesn't offer much insight and just feels like he's coasting.

I'm sorry, but if anyone has had this genuine reaction to the PSR stuff then they really, really need more hobbies, or to focus more on their actual, real, day to day life. Over the last week work for me has been manic, I've barely had time to digest PSR-related stuff and have dipped in and out of the thread on here, reading about 5-6 posts to get a flavour. Today the news came through that it was all okay. You know, as someone who used to be wrapped up in every minute movement this club made, that's all that I needed. A check in, a quick "eh it might happen but I can't control it" and then a look this morning. There's more to just watching people make £££ online. There's the desire to be seen as powerful, influential within the club you support. Look at all the accounts of individuals, or those running LCFC-related accounts with large followings. There's a pressure to stay relevant. With that comes overly-emotional investment which is admirable fanaticism at best, weird lonely behaviour at worst. Remember this. The players, management and board of this club do not care about you. Your loyalty and investment in this club does not matter to them. By all means enjoy following the club but I'd encourage anyone to do all they can to let go of the things they absolutely cannot control, especially off-the-pitch stuff.
