Haha maybe a way for Ruud to jump before we sink, but also surely this must stiffen the fans resistance to the calamitous strategic decision-making at the club that is a dead weight around our necks.

The club need to be really careful here. Now I’m not suggesting that what the supporter did is correct, but the club need to be really clear where their line is. I donated to this, and did wonder whether it was worth hiding my name. Part of me does wonder whether someone trawls through twitter and stuff like this and puts a black mark if they can identify people who are critical of the regime. But maybe I’m just being paranoid.

I witnessed quite heated arguments at the Fulham game. So I think it already has or certainly the fuse has been lit.

100%. It’s probably the one transfer you could pin a lot of the decline on. Another colossal decision the club got wrong. He was that important I think it was a strategic decision gone wrong. We would have stayed up easily if he had stayed. We may have even stayed up if we had replaced him - but we didn’t either. Beyond belief. I should imagine the decision to not replace him was driven by saving on a wage and a fee and thinking Ward will be ok. Goalkeepers have a foundational role in the team, and having a strong one often is difference between being an ok team and a good team. My personal view on Ward is that he has got ability in him, but he has no bottle or temperament and therefore can’t handle PL games. He’s often perfectly ok against the likes of Walsall and smaller sides. That people within the club did not grasp what he brought to the club in terms of leadership as well is baffling. We’ve really struggled with leadership ever since. I’d love to know if getting rid of him was partly motivated by how strong a character he was. Maybe the likes of Rudkin etc didn’t like that, particularly if Kasper may have been challenging their decisions? Don’t know, but you could see it.

I refuse to pay those prices, but through a friend I have secured corporate tickets at no charge to me. I will try and consume as much champagne as possible to make up for money that our fans pay.

Reiterating how poorly designed that was.

Great work as usual. All spot on. Dish the dirt on Bradley Varnham though…

Absolute rubbish

Could say the same about a lot of other players we spent reasonable fees on

I ticked supporter behaviour as something else to feed back on and talked about arguments in the stands because of …… They need to be told from all angles.

The club have sent emails asking for feedback on the match day experience. You don’t have to think too creatively to compete the free text box’s about what we all think. Bombard them.

I have noticed a few more empty seats than usual recently.

Ohhhh nice… probably right

I agree. It feels like Rudkin has had a word with a sympathetic journalist, and it might be his way of bashing heads with Top. Even worse!

I see the Athletic are saying that we are slow at doing deals because Rudkin is spread too thinly. We knew this, and also obviously he lacks competencies, but just your daily reminder of the amateur circus that is our football club.

Who cares. Our business isn’t played out in the media like Man City, Man U, Chelsea etc like some sort of drama. As far as I’m concerned the only people who are qualified to comment are those of us who follow what’s going on daily or weekly or whatever. I got into an argument once with a mate who called us out for sacking Claudio, who was also taking us down. I think there’s this idea in the football world that we should be lucky for what we’ve achieved and be happy with anything that comes after it.

I forgot to say in all the anger immediately afterwards, but I remember Castagne doing a lap and applauding afterwards - fair play. Always liked him and nice to see him doing that. He was a good consistent performer and compare him to what we have now at full back…

Please mention the guy raising money for the digital billboard mentioned in another thread. I think Jake has donated. https://www.gofundme.com/f/lcfc-sack-the-board Everyone needs to mobilise, fix bayonets and give them all a good slapping from every angle possible.

If the three promoted clubs go back down, it will be the second year in a row that has happened. It could well happen next year as well. Bit of a closed shop really, though if you look where we are with what he have I don’t think it would actually take much to have been reasonably safe this year. Which makes the current predicament all the more annoying.

Exactly. I was talking about this yesterday. Everyone acknowledged the playing squad needs a refresh every season, and managers etc. But we’ve not managed to make the same connection to key decision-makers. It’s a stale organisation that has stood still at best, and because of that they are taking us backwards. I mean what has to happen to Top to at least change Rudkin and bring in new structures with people who are specialists? You have to think he’s bullet proof if he’s survived until this point.

Donated, and I’ve sent around as well. I’m not well connected on LCFC socials, but maybe it’s worth getting out there as well?

We’ve been in this situation many times, and we know how it ends. Players running down contracts and meanwhile no accountability for those who make these decisions. Enough is enough and I’m delighted the penny has finally dropped with the wider fanbase and mobilisation is happening.

There is a decent PL player there, we just haven’t seen it. But the main issue is that we didn’t need a player in that position. I can’t believe we didn’t spent that money on a striker instead - and just shows everything that is wrong with the club to be honest.

I assumed it was so the fans voiced finish off the last bit?

The logical option is 3, but I’d also for for 2 if it came with the opportunity to smear dog muck in his face
