Hopefully it’s Martin’s agent leaking the story and using us as leverage to maybe push Watford and Blackburn interest, wouldn’t be overly shocked to see him go back to Southampton once they fire off Eckert.

But how dare we be worried or criticise we should be eternally grateful to King Power not question anything and be careful what we wish for ……

Agreed the other instances they have admitted to it they didn’t win, it’s such a coincidence and admission of those games to try and say it doesn’t have an impact. Imagine if they admitted to it multiple times it would and could have massive ramifications for the integrity of the entire championship season.

Agreed, in reality we are not going to receive regular updates on how are search for a new manager is progressing, however there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that there shouldn’t have been an announcement in regards to Rowett, Davidson and Sadler all leaving at the end of their short term deals, thanking them for there efforts and also equally baffling is the lack of confirmation as to the players out of contract who will be leaving at the end of their contracts. Yet again it demonstrates a clear disregard towards the fanbase and a determination to continue to not communicate and drive the disconnect even deeper.

The all star team will most likely be a collection of former premier league players who played against during the 2015-16 season.

Don’t understand why an interim or short term deal would run until end of June surely it would conclude end of May at very latest if not earlier given our final league game was early May.

Agree to a point but in general the adidas templates are pretty boring

The concerning part of all this is the lack of basic understanding that these continued poor commercial decisions is driving a massive disconnect with your fanbase, which becomes such a huge problem and financial hit to the club the further you drop. Awful decisions regards sticking with Adidas for the ‘prestige’ when they churn out dog shit template kits, our continued pursuit of morally bankrupt partnerships with random and obscure betting/crypto companies, our ticketing policies, the way the genuine fans have been treated on important days like the championship trophy day when the pitch was taken over by day trippers, guests and influencers, the political messaging at the pre season friendly and the ongoing transition of the stadium branding from LCFC to KPFC. All the above have contributed to the disconnect of so many of the legacy fanbase, the disconnect is massively affecting the commercial revenues of the club, matchdays with empty seats, hospitality not full, boycotting of the club shop and merchandise all contribute to drops in revenue and most importantly cash flow. The club need a very sharp wake up call because this forthcoming season, sponsorship, hospitality packages and partnerships will be a lot harder to sell when the quality of opposition has dropped off the edge of a cliff, day trippers and tourist fans will be visiting other more fashionable clubs, so it’s back to the loyal fanbase you have pushed away, because empty seats don’t buy food and drinks, disconnected fans don’t buy replica shirts and merchandise. The next generation of fans and future lifeblood of the club go elsewhere. The club needs to get its act together like yesterday otherwise the future will be very very bleak and a whole generation of Leicester fans could be lost.

I reckon take up has not been good as anticipated, the statement is very specifically worded to avoid giving any indication of what the reason is. However what we do know is for the first time in a very long time it made it to general sale . At the time the renewals were released the club will no doubt, given previous form, will have been in complete denial of the prospect of relegation to league one and therefore never contemplated the impact of dropping into league one. I genuinely think the club are busy number crunching and modelling the impact of implementing a reduction to increase numbers and also preparing refunds or a voucher for the club shop to compensate people who have already committed. My prediction is the new manager will be announced within the next 2 weeks and this will coincide with a relaunch of season tickets at reduced prices, following an ‘internal review’ in the aftermath of relegation.

Last season back in the premier league demonstrated the more revenue generated, the greater the losses and bigger the mistakes we make as a club, our revenue increased by £80m and we managed to lose over £50m more than the season in the championship signing guff like Skipp, BDCR, Ayew and Eduoard whilst appointing & sacking both Cooper and RvN. Money in the hands of Aiyawatt and crew is a very dangerous thing as there seems to be zero strategy and continue to spend similar levels on inferior players and managers.

With local charities such as Loros, Lamp and Leicester Hospitals as the back of shirt partner. With the club making a donation to that charity for each and every shirt sold that they appear on. Imagine if the price of a shirt increased by say a £1 or £2 but that money went direct to those charities, sales would go through the roof and both the club and local charities benefit. Win win.

This is the issue I have with the ‘strange’ commercial strategy we have as a club, we sign up to a deal with Adidas that churns out honking template kits because we want the ‘prestige’ and then when it comes to a sponsor we are more than happy to bend the rules and sign up with dubious crypto and betting companies which only add to the disconnect with the fanbase. 2 easy wins for the club would be to strike a deal with a decent kit manufacturer and sponsor the supporters can relate with, the immediate reconnection and increase in merchandise sales would be a huge boost and positive for the club.

It just goes to show that the November & January interviews with Aiyawatt and all the stuff regards getting closer and communicating with the fanbase was just a PR exercise to divert away from building fan pressure. Truth is we are back to where we usually are completely in the dark and treated with distain, the bare minimum should have been an unveiling and interview with McCarron. Instead as always it’s radio silence.

I would add Puma and Umbro into that mix

Diego Flores 🇦🇷 former assistant to Bielsa at Leeds?

I know he has a year left on his deal at Boro but would love to see us bring in a player like Luke Ayling come in as the experienced leader and mentor to our younger players next season.

Watched it and it’s absolutely broken me 😭

It’s frustrating and given past history it’s no wonder fans are speculating and concerned that we will fall into the same trap of last season, floundering around and waiting until it’s far too late to make the appointment, or it could be as simple as our main target(s) are employed and their seasons are not yet finished.

Absolutely spot on, look at our bad things are on and off the pitch at our club and yet countless fans choose not to bother with the Foxes Trust end of season survey. The apathy and acceptance is a real concern for me, it’s as if a large proportion of our fanbase are happy to give Aiyawatt and Rudkin free reign to destroy the club, whilst either clapping and cheering them on or just shrugging shoulders and choosing to stand by and watch it happen. It really does beggar belief.

Couldn’t agree more if you haven’t yet completed the survey please do it this afternoon, whatever is frustrating you with the club or if you think everything is ok please share your opinions, have your voice.

I can well believe it, makes you wonder just how much damage Rudkin is happy to inflict on his supposed boyhood club to continue to stay in power.

Agreed would be a real good leader and battler in the midfield alongside Braybrooke and a decent role model, we certainly wouldn’t get bullied with him in the side.

A better solution would be to bin off the crypto sponsor and get a more acceptable front of shirt sponsor such as walkers or next and then have Loros, Lamp and Leicester hospitals as back of shirt sponsor one for each shirt and then for every shirt sold that particular charity gets a set donation. Reckon the club would sell an absolute ton of them, make some decent commercial revenue, get fans buying merch again, reconnect with the fanbase and make some decent charitable donations to local worthwhile projects. however if the club were to do it guaranteed it would be a front of shirt sponsor like KBet and the ‘charity’ would be the VS foundation.

The big issue for me is all relegation has done has made players like Page, Monga, Aluko and Nelson all very attainable at knock down prices, so rather than the much needed clear out of our waste of space senior players and the opportunity to build with a lot of academy players, they will be gone and highly likely a good few of the bad eggs will still be here stinking the gaff out. What an utter mess and still some choose to bury their heads in the sand and pretend everything is ok.

Whilst managing to alienate even more of our fanbase in doing so …..
