My biggest concern isn’t even the manager here but the direction from above. This is an opportunity to build a new squad in a style that is more applicable to what works in 2026. With Martin we are going to recruit and play heavy possession again, which isn’t working anymore, teams have wised up. Even in League One last season the champions had the lowest possession stats of anyone!

In an alternate reality, LCFC is a competently run club with Enzo Maresca off to Man City after successfully winning the League Cup in his third season as LCFC manager thanks to star player and captain KDH as commercial revenues hit record highs.

I am convinced once Vichai passed away Rudkin used the situation over time as an opportunity to seize power, hence why Susan Wheelan left and why he ends up as the CFO. Classic Power Battle and we lost out. Wheelan herself I know has many detractors at the club but by comparison she is a big miss.

I think this is the correct answer, but another big turning point for me was the move to Seagrave. If you recall we moved to Seagrave just before Covid. That season we were brilliant up until that time, when we played and lost to Man City and Liverpool in quick succession and then post Covid break, choked our chance of getting to the Champions League. For me since we moved there, the culture of the club has completely changed and the club went from "plucky underdogs" to "arrogant willy pullers that think they are way better than they actually are." Now we did win the cup that year, so it's not like it happened overnight, but slowly but surely, that place changed the culture of the club and its killed us. But fundamentally the culture changed when Vichai passed, there are no two ways about it.

Which is why he is about to follow up the most embarrasing relegation from Premier League history with the most embarrasing relelgation in Championship history. On both occassions, we will be the team with the highest wage budget and wages to revenue ratio to get relegated in history.

The Cuck Power FC fanclub can say "we were there supporting the club in League One" whilst being oblivious to their lack of action being one of the many reasons why the club finds itself in that position in the first place. That's the one thing some can look forward to. For everyone else, I implore you NOT to renew your season tickets and for the love of god do not buy new kits or merch from the club. The hierarchy do not care about you and one of the only ways to force some change is to show your dissatisfaction in a way that hurts them the most. If you did that then maybe the one thing to look forward to is the club finally acknowledging how badly they have treated fans over the last 5 years and might start changing things. I can't see it though.

I would have changed players, probably Mavididi or one of the CB's just to shock the team into action and provoke a reaction. Pretty much the entire first half just drifted by. I suppose we did have some chances like the Skipp opportunity, but an intricate 4231 needed to be thrown out of the window after 1 minute and 11 seconds when we went behind. If you're thinking "but it would damage Mavididi's confidence", that guy is already beyond saving. I make that 16 games now without either a goal or an assist. I almost punched my monitor when he tried that outside of the foot shot.

The goal comes from one striker flicking it onto another. Ayew almost scores a second when Fatawu is played as a traditional winger crossing it to a striker. We are in squeaky bum time in the Championship in a relegation battle. No point trying to b-tec Pep-ball your way out of trouble in a game like this one. I'm astonished a manager with as much Championship experience as this one waited so long to switch to it.

Millwall. Most obvious loss of the season, a team that will bully us and easily win the game, especially when under pressure.

Waited way too long to go 442. I would have made changes after 20 minutes, the game completely passed us by for way to much of it. Why he takes so long to make subs I don't know.

This grinded my gears so much. The definition of Cuck Power.

Depends on the new Sporting Director, as it should be noted that Man City recently massively modified their style to be able to deal with the massive shift to man to man marking across the pitch and away from positional play. I’m inclined to agree with you but surprisingly our attacking patterns and chances in open play have improved a lot under Rowett, and that’s with a team whose confidence is in the bin. I expected our work-rate, defence and attacking set pieces to improve but not our overall performances too. As such I could see a two year deal being put on the table if we stay up.

To be honest the protest was as flaccid as the performance from the players. The Police escorting the march were laughing. Respect to everyone that showed up but it’s clear the protesters are clearly in the minority. Many people turned their noses up or mocked the group. At one point an elderly in hospitality flipped off the protesters 🤣! Too many people in Leicester live in the past. To quote the comment in Sky at the end “Leicester City are going from the impossible to the unthinkable!” But the fanbase as a totality will allow it to happen. I find the lack of action more depressing than the team. I feel like as a society we have forgotten to fight back or to fight for what’s right. People are too easily placated.

The effort he put in during the last 10 minutes was incredible. He looked shagged but found a second wind from nowhere. Great to see.
