Well somebody needs to remind the owner that the insistence on that formation and playing style has taken the club to the verge of league one

I don’t agree, when you run through the team there is no reason we should be anywhere near the bottom 3 most if not all this starting XI have played and performed at this level and if not above. The truth is because we pay ridiculous wages and long contracts the players have lost all hunger or desire. Standards and culture are in the gutter. then mix that in with rank average managers and this is what you get.

2 massive games over the Easter period and a real opportunity to secure 2 wins and 6 points in 2 very winnable games and so far he is absolutely blowing it. The players just don’t look like it’s that important you would think we were day in mid table with nothing to play for let alone supposedly fighting for our lives. Not seeing anywhere near from Rowett to suggest he should continue next season.

I bet Rowett can’t wait to be able to select Vestergard alongside Lascelles and get another of these young whipper snappers out the starting XI

The problem is clubs are losing a fortune in the championship chasing the premier league dream and the so called riches and then when they get there, despite the massive revenue increases somehow manage to lose significantly more. The game is out of control and unfortunately there appears to be a real lack of common sense being applied by the owners and decision makers. all business sense and acumen goes out the window when somebody gets involved in football. Madness.

Culture and standards are absolutely on the floor. Recruitment has been dire, not only the quality of players signed but also the character. Under Pearson the recruitment focused just as much on the character as it did football ability. nowadays it’s all so stale and lazy in everything we do. Manager and player recruitment is honking and in a lot of instances heavily agent influenced.

Are you a member of the trust? if not come and join, it’s a great opportunity to get your voice heard. The larger the membership becomes, the more it represents a larger proportion of the fanbase then not only do we become louder but we gain more credibility and influence.

There is a real opportunity to have your voice heard by joining the Foxes Trust, the membership has doubled over the last 12 months but there are so many more who could sign up. it’s £5 per year, the trust will hold the club to account and will challenge on the important issues, so don’t sit on the sidelines, sign up and have your say and play a part in helping the trust engage with the club and help change the direction of the club. https://foxestrust.co.uk/

Bumping this thread as I’ve recently started supporting the Foxes Trust in a voluntary capacity and, having spent a bit of time understanding what they’re doing, I thought it was worth sharing on here. If I’m honest, I was probably like a lot of people before. aware of the Trust, but not really clear on what it actually did or whether it was worth joining. The reality is, it’s a lot more straightforward than people think. Membership is just £5 a year, and there’s even a free Associate option. What stood out to me is that membership has doubled over the last year, which tells its own story. More fans are starting to realise that having a collective, structured voice does make a difference, particularly when it comes to engagement with the club. It’s also worth saying this clearly, this isn’t about being anti-club or pushing any one agenda. Fans will always have different views, and that’s part of football. But what I think most of us can agree on is that we want a club that is: Well run Open and transparent Accountable Properly engaged with its supporters That’s really what the Trust is about, making sure those views are heard in a constructive way. The last few years haven’t been easy, and it feels like a time where supporter voice probably matters more than ever. If you’ve ever had an opinion on ticketing, communication, decisions at the club, or just where we’re heading generally, it’s a pretty easy way to make sure that voice actually counts. No pressure on anyone, just thought it was worth sharing from my side.

Fantastic piece of work, just thinking about this season, and I think the revenue may well reduce slightly from 2023/24 season as that year we had pretty much sell out crowds every week. Whereas this season there has been a drop off in attendances so wouldn’t be shocked to see matchday revenues drop off in comparison. Also I wouldn’t be shocked if we see commercial / sponsorship revenues also reduce in comparison to that season, as we didn’t have a front of shirt sponsor until October time.

When he is fit and back in the match day squad you just know it wlll be in place of Monga and Gaz will have managed to move out every academy prospect under the age of 20

I understand that but that does not excuse or justify such an horrific increase in losses, we made strategic decisions to buy the players we did and the timing of the players we sold, regardless of the timing of such decisions, largely we spunked a whole load of money on rank average players who have little or no sell on value. Our decision making last summer was largely horrific and has set us back 5-10 years

We were led to believe that we needed promotion to help our finances. …… Our last season in the championship we lost just under £20m on revenue of £105m fast forward to our season back in the premier league and the supposed golden egg of increased revenues and on a turnover of £185m, an increase of £80m rather than make a profit or at least see a reduction in our losses we instead saw our losses increase to over £70m. So our reaction to securing an additional £80m in revenue was to spend an additional £130m to further increase our losses, from a collective of people who claimed lessons had been learnt from our initial relegation. The result of this massive overspend was an abject relegation, a squad with very few saleable assets, a bloated and unbalanced playing squad on inflated wages and very difficult to move on without taking a hit on book value or subsidising wages. We now sit here on the verge of league one and financial collapse and to top it all off the 2 key people advising and supporting Aiyawatt have been rewarded for this level of honking performance with promotions. If this does not demonstrate the massive drop off in standards and culture then nothing does. Trying to convince KP supporters to wake up and smell the coffee or at least recognise what a shambles we now are, seems a forlorn and futile move. They seem to just dig in even more, double down that everything will be fine and deflect by calling out anyone who dares to challenge the status quo as negative, entitled, not backing the lads and the real reasons we are in the situation we are in. Anything but admit we need a complete overhaul from top to bottom.

I can honestly see us losing this. Wednesday haven’t won at home in the league all season and along come the ever obliging Leicester City.

Couldn’t agree more changed very little except made us quite hard to beat away from home whilst our home form continues to falter. One win in 8 games from a supposed experienced championship manager who has alienated most of the academy prospects from the squad and yet again turned to the tried and tested who have let this club down time and time again and guess what we are seeing the same old story. Whatever the outcome of this season, I hope by 3rd May it is announced he has left at the conclusion of his contract.

Absolutely spot on I cannot believe how many fans still back this ownership and leadership team despite what has happened these last 4 years. £270m lost, 2 relegations and staring a 3rd in the face which will send us into league one and potential financial meltdown, horrendous recruitment of players and managers, lack of engagement with its fanbase, dubious sponsorship arrangements with obscure betting/crypto companies plus endless more PR own goals including the Christmas payroll fiasco. And yet so many continue to give them a free pass, in fact will resort to getting quite aggressive in their defence of the club and toward anyone who dares not to conform. The Premier League win and FA Cup triumph is sadly becoming a millstone around the neck of the club, it’s almost like because we won both we are not allowed to ever criticise or complain ever again. So from a ‘plastic ‘ and/or ‘glory grabber’ of over 45 years to the many true loyal fans please explain to me how the Manager who led us to the Premier League title and the Manager who was in charge of the FA Cup Final win have both been sacked since those heady days, and yet the people who are now residing over this absolute shambles which not only is impacting our on field demise but also places the very existence of our club at risk, are beyond criticism and should be allowed to continue to run the club into the ground and potentially drive us into administration and possible liquidation. when does this free pass expire with some of our fanbase because if I recall correctly with the Managers it didn’t last that long so what is so different with Aiyawatt, Rudkin and Kevin Davies?

The continued attempted gaslighting and spin to the media that the likes of Rudkin and Kevin Davies have done a good job and it’s all PSR’s fault. No it isn’t even last year shows we are poorly ran and make bad decisions, we spent a fortune on Ayew, Okoli, Reid, Skipp, and Eduard we sacked two managers both ill thought out appointments on the way to a feeble relegation and posting a loss of over £70m. And now as it stands today we are staring relegation to league one flush in the face we have had the shame of our first ever points deduction and if we are relegated we are facing financial meltdown …….. the reaction to this is to promote the Director of Football and the Finance Director and give them both even more power and influence. Absolutely beggars belief.

Couldn’t agree more I reckon at least half of those 28 were pot shots from outside the box with most more endangering the flask drinkers than the goal. I thought from about 15 minutes in until about 65/70 minutes we were quite passive in large spells happy to just knock it about without really trying to hurt Preston. There was very little to really get you off your seat. It was hardly blood and thunder football. I think anyone who is trying to say yesterday is a turning point is clutching at straws. We all want to get out of this relegation sized hole but let’s be straight that was yet again another opportunity blown, another chance against rank average opposition missed and on the balance of what we have witnessed this season more evidence that this group ain’t going to suddenly go and win 3 or 4 on the bounce.

we were playing a team already on the beach and just about managed to snatch a draw. At 1-0 up after 3 minutes we should have gone out to kill the game off. Just shows how low expectations are now that we should be celebrating and lauding the players for a 2-2 home draw to Preston North End. Standards are on the floor. Another opportunity against a bang average side squandered.

Pre planned sub of Lascelles and then a lacklustre decision to bring on Bobby Reid why not bring Monga on against tired legs and players on yellow cards

We are so passive, this is do or die and yet we still look in 2nd gear. Real lack of urgency given our predicament.

Absolute fecking disgrace of a performance from 15 minutes onwards. Rowett has put all his eggs in the experience camp and it’s backfiring spectacularly as guess what, as per usual this mob keep letting us down. PNE are woeful and yet we are that bad and disinterested that they are managing to be beating us 2-1. the club and culture is absolutely rotten on and off the pitch and yet we have just rewarded 2 people who have played a massive part in the shambles with promotions.

1-0 up inside 3 minutes and a chance to really go at them and bury them instead we dropped right off and let them back in. Far too cautious as a manager. No better than King or Marti.

Own goals?

What a job Alex Neill has done at Millwall
