Trouble is it isn’t the ‘Leicester’ way of playing, it’s the ‘Aiyawatt & Rudkin’ way of playing. As a club we have always been at our best when we have played a high intensity style. Again more revisionism by the owner and Smithers trying to gaslight the fan base into believing this is the Leicester way.

Is there an opportunity to get Collomose, Percy and Henry Winter on for a special to discuss nothing other than Aiyawatt and Rudkin’s dismantling of our club. It might be the only way some of the KPFC fans wake up and smell the coffee before it’s too late.

Couldn’t agree more Kingy has been thrown under a bus by the two key decision makers at our club, they are both hiding behind a club legend who genuinely loves the place to try and protect themselves. The anger I feel towards Aiyawatt and Rudkin is through the fecking roof.

How anyone can defend him is beyond me, he has destroyed this club and his desire for self preservation means we will only hire managers that won’t rock the boat. It’s a disgrace he is still in his job and that ‘people’ even attempt to support him.

How anyone can back Aiyawatt & Rudkin after this continued decline and deduction is absolutely beyond me. They cannot class themselves as real fans if this isn’t hurting them or they are happy to accept this. This is killing me seeing our great club being run into the ground by these 2. Utter heartbreaking stuff. Get them gone ASAP I have zero patience or belief that either of these 2 have the desire or strategic thinking to get us out of this nose dive.

He is an absolute arsehole

Sorry disagree we should have sacked Rodgers earlier and given ourselves the best chance of staying up. Instead we threw a load more cash at panic buys, hung on to Rodgers far too long, still went down and breached by a whole lot more. A change in manager in January would have meant Ward and Amartey gone from the starting XI a whole lot earlier, Vardy was being largely unused, it would have been a lot more comfortable. All that season did was prove how far out of depth both Rudkin and Aiyawatt are.

According to some extracts from the commission report the Finance Director identified and said players needed to be sold at certain times to remain compliant, in fact in the first relegation season it was identified we needed to sell in January and we in fact doubled down and signed Souttar, VK and Tete……. It would suggest that others probably including a certain Susan Whelan were raising flags and Top and Rudkin didnt heed those warnings and carried on regardless.

Somehow we have to make it clear that we want change, before the match, at half time and after the game it has to be we want Rudkin out chants and we want change then throughout the game we back the team and Kingy to try and get us out this mess. I think protests outside the stadium before and after the game is the only way to get the message across.

In any other walk of life he would have been sacked or resigned following 2 relegations in 3 seasons, he is the longest serving DoF in English football being in his role for 11 years, the average is 20 months …… Now look at we are today, we have just been hit with a 6 point deduction, we have hired and fired 3 managers in less than 18 months, dismantled one of, if not the best squad outside the supposed big 6 and yet after all this not only his he seemingly under no internal pressure for his role but he is in fact just about to be moved upstairs and given more power and influence. If he had a shred of credibility, gave a shit about the club and isn’t there for his own gain then he would have either resigned or at least swallow his pride and accept he needs to relinquish power and bring in a heavy hitter like Pearson, give him the keys to Seagrave and a blank canvas to rebuild the club. The very fact that this man chooses self preservation over the long term good of our club makes him the most dangerous individual I have ever known to have influence and power at Leicester City in the 45 or so years of supporting the club. I am pretty sure if he had an open and frank conversation with Top about stepping down from LCFC he would get a sizeable pay out / loyalty bonus and still continue to collect a decent wedge running King Power racing whilst allowing the club to move forward with the right people who can shape and take the club forward for the future. I think this deduction, will galvanise the fanbase to back Kingy and the team whilst also putting pressure on Rudkin to step down, his role and position at the club is untenable.

Absolutely criminal we haven’t at least spoken to him

The mistake wasn’t necessarily signing them as all had reasonable reputations however where we went massively wrong was offering ridiculous wages that has meant it has been impossible to move these players on for any kind of acceptable fee. Daka was allegedly on £7k a week at Salzburg and we offered him £70k, realistically we could have offered him £21-28k and he would have probably accepted. Likewise Soumare ended up on £80k trouble is clubs will look to low ball us on transfer fee to mitigate the high wages and/or expect us to pay a hefty % of the wage which makes it nigh on impossible to get shut of them without taking a big PSR hit so we end up stuck with them until they leave in final year for very small fee or go for free. We have massively hamstrung ourselves by paying extortionate wages, leaving no room for manoeuvre when a signing doesn’t work out.

If we can’t get Pearson back, then Smith is a very good alternative to come in and do a very similar job.

Would happily take that especially given where we currently sit as a club

To the tune of Vichai had a dream - Top and Rudkin had a dream to destroy a football team , One from Thailand and one who thinks he’s one of our own They ****ed up the back and we no longer attack 6 point deduction you made us sing that

https://smry.ai/proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Farticle-15532515%2FLeicester-City-points-deduction.html brilliant article by Tom Collomose

Absolutely spot on and since making these cost saving decisions have spunked £42m in transfer fees on Coady, Winks & Skipp. Continued to shell out massive wages to Winks, Coady, Vestergaard, Soumare & Daka to the tune of £400k per week. Sigend absolute pony like VK, Ayew, BDCR given contract extensions to the likes of Thomas, Choudhury and Vestergaard. Signed Eduarod on loan on massive wages and barely used him. And turned down offers for players like Iversen and Daka to let them leave for free or run contract down to be able to move for free. The list goes on and on and on, it’s utter incompetence, our wage to turn over ratio has been running at over 100% for each of the last 3 audited accounts, it’s irresponsible and not only has it led to a massive decline, 6 point deduction, potential relegation to league 1 but also left us on the brink of financial meltdown and who knows what next …..administration, and yet some still defend this regime and say be careful what you wish for, when will you be wake up and smell the coffee, because if this carries on this level of downward trajectory then it’s league one and the possibility our club could be in the hands of administrators by this time next year if not sooner.

Surely the pressure has to crank up on Rudkin now, the confirmation of the points deduction has made his position untenable, he should have gone after relegation in 22/23.

Glad it’s done and dusted, terrible news but at least we now know what we have to do. Let’s hope this galvanises the whole club and gives everyone some fire in there belly’s. However I really really hope that most importantly we learn some big lessons as this can never ever happen again, we have burnt money whilst overseeing a monumental decline through piss poor strategy, recruitment and managing of finances. This has absolutely been our own making.

I wonder if Martin and Rowett have both been interviewed and it has led to a couple of punters placing a bet hence the movement

I met Marti at Seagrave when I completed my last run of Prostate United and he is a genuinely good bloke, he was class towards me and my family and went above and beyond the standard conversation you would expect to have. A parting of the ways was inevitable and the right decision but he was a decent person who genuinely cared about the club.

If the 3 outstanding deal go through then it’s pleasing to see us move forward a slightly different profile of player, for the last few seasons I have felt we have lacked physicality as a side, it’s no coincidence this has manifested itself to a point where our running stats and duels won is so poor and we concede so many soft goals, we are so easy to play against both in and out of possession and in open play and set pieces. Adding some much needed physicality will hopefully help start to turn the tide.

The bit that makes me smile most is the fact the club still believe they can make a play off charge, they are either deluded or the points deduction isn’t coming until next season

I just want it over and done with, so at least as fans we know where we stand, it is highly likely that it will put us in a relegation battle. It’s a strange feeling for me, yes the club has breached and rightly should be punished and by the rules that is a points deduction, the bit I struggle with is that this punishes the fans who have little or no control over it whilst the likes of Top and Rudkin can carry on running the club into the ground.
