Also had my car break down en route to the Tottenham game where we conceded two in the last 7 seconds. Lucky escape.

Aged about 16 I got chased by Wolves fans calling me and my mates "Pakis". Was after a game towards the end of the Micky Adams promotion season. I'm white but was in a group with 5 mates, half of which were Asian. We all got away unscathed, but one of the Asian lads never came to the football with us again

Fair enough!

Appreciate we've all been driven mad by the inaction in recent years (and never more so than the last month), but it's not been 24 hours since Percy tweeted we're in advanced negotiations. Hopefully he'll be announced tonight and be taking training tomorrow, and I'm sure he'll be in the dugout at Stoke (who hate him btw!).

I understand where you're coming from but I've always been a bit confused by this criticism. There was some gold on the home shirt but blue and white were hardly banished from the club's identity. I'd say the home kit was predominantly blue/white, away kit black/white, 3rd kit white/blue. (If King Power wanted to rebrand us gold instead of blue/white they wouldn't have made the home kit sponsor in massive white letters! ) Lots to criticise King Power for but I really don't think they've 'goldwashed' the club's identity...

Still no announcement or seemingly reporting by other journalists. Have we been Preki'd?

You get a bit of a sense of what he's like from these clips from a podcast he used to co-host. https://www.instagram.com/breakinglinespod?igsh=MXJtc2FodGsxcHA4eg== Not sure that link is working but you can find it by searching for BreakingLinesPod on Instagram. Have skipped through a few videos and I know it's only a podcast but he comes across well - straight talking, common sense, a bit old school. Very different to Cifuentes.

Better record than our last 3 appointments

I like this appointment. Should have been earlier and whether it's enough remains to be seen, but I think it gives us a much better chance.

I live here too and this is the view I get from the sensible Oxford fans I know. We should set up an Oxford Chisits society. Let's be miserable together.

No doubt this is true, but those comments sound like they're coming from fans of other clubs.

I genuinely think the board have already decided it's King until the end of the season. I wanted Cifuentes out but it makes literally no sense to remove 80% of a failing regime and expect the 20% that's left to improve things. Wouldn't be surprised if King walks away himself. Then we'll just put inanimate carbon rod in charge til the end of the season.

Genuinely, no. Not the biggest Facebook guy so maybe I'm not in the groups where these people post. I just checked the comments on recent posts on the club account and it's 100% negative

I always wonder this. I never speak to anyone who is 'KPFC' or thinks Rudkin or Top are doing a good job. It's just that everything seems to have to be a binary, polarised culture war now. People seem unable to have an opinion unless there's a group they can oppose who think the opposite I guess I'm doing that now too 😂 We're shit and it's miserable. I can confidently say 99.9% people think the same, but lots on this forum seem to think there's a civil war between them and other (imaginary) fans.

I know - I'm not saying what I want or what King wants, I'm saying what Top hopes he can get away with...

... or just keeping Andy King, which seems to be their preferred option

Really don't like Russell Martin but I'd literally take anyone under 60 who has 3+ years experience as a manager over just leaving Andy King in charge. (No shade on Andy King - not his fault but clearly not the man we need in the dugout)

😂 Like saying a club should hire Mark Goldbridge as a manager because he is good at criticising managers. Methven is an old Etonian who inherited his wealth and has failed at multiple clubs. Hated at Sunderland and Charlton... the guy's an absolute chancer.

They're desperately hoping King will be fine and they won't have to bring in a manager until the executive vacancies are filled. It's unbelievable we've actually managed to get even worse manager every time since the diabolical appointment of Cooper. Cooper 3.5/10 Ruud 2/10 Marti 1.5/10 King 0/10 (not his fault, he's not a manager)

There are so few movements on managerial replacements the thread has turned into talking about training ground replacements 😂

Another week lost. Certainly does seem like it'll just be King unless (/until) we get even deeper in the shit. It's honestly hard to not feel like you're being a mug for even caring at this stage.

I'm saying we should change things... I'm not saying I have any faith we will!

I was at a wedding with Charlie Methven recently and he was a posh bellend. Born into money and now a failed exec at three football clubs. I don't think he's as much of a football or finance expert as he makes out... Even if he does know what he's talking about on this occasion, I have zero appetite to listen to a prat like him depress me even more about the state of Leicester. Also - remember when supporting a football team used to be fun and not like studying economics

I've not watched the video but surely fans would accept stripping back to an EFL-level budget rather than continuing to gamble on an unlikely success and risk extinction. Loads of wages will be leaving the club soon and we still have a few sellable assets. 2026 contracts expiring: Winks, Daka, Pereira, Ayew all likely to be on massive wages. Loans plus Lascelles, Begovic also probably on a lot 2026 sales: We could surely find suitors for El Khannouss (20m), Fatawu (20m) and Faes (5m). Get what we can for Mavididi, Skipp, Okoli, Choudhury. I know they might be reluctant due to other clubs not matching their wages but we could pay them off with some of the transfer fee to get them out. They must all hate it playing here. Replace them all with modest players on EFL budget salaries. Mixed with academy players who hopefully kick on and get us rolling again or generate some fees for the future. I know entire rebuilds are mad, but I think this is the position we're in. If we need a lot of money to stabilise, I really wouldn't be against selling Seagrave to Forest and moving back into the old training ground.
