No brainier for 5mil! Get him gone! At this point we need to just be accepting the bids that come in for the wage collectors. Makes little difference if we end up a little short for cover because we are already down. At least we can get some players on big wages who aren’t good enough off the books.

We are already cooked mate. Bank the money for the championship rebuild and hope that we have a capable dof and recruitment team in place by then.

Also could see this happening. Was part of the red bull stable previously and didn’t really well. They know him well and know how to get the best out of him.
-
If this is happening we need to get a quick bid in for Whittaker.

Just a little walk down the road, turn left and I’m there.

Any other team in the league would have a chance of getting something. Not us, I’m ashamed to say.

Manchester United again exploit fans loyalty
dooflip replied to Foxes_Trust's topic in Leicester City Forum
Already been screwed over on our season tickets to watch turgid performances every week. Why would we part with more money? At this point, we should be being paid to go to the games it’s that bad. and the emails about match day experience are a joke, the management are deluded. Do they not realise that the only thing about the match day experience that matters is the performance on the pitch? -

Yep, and he’s made a great start! Beat sociedad last time out. -

If RVN goes, I think we would be best just going for someone young and promising from the lower leagues and who has the right mental characteristics and is quite happy to not have any money to spend. At least that way we will have someone comfortable with the scenario they have inherited, with the ambition to fix it. We are down anyway, so it just makes sense to me. Absolutely no point going for another name on big wages who is going to throw their toys out of the pram in the summer when they find out we’ve got no money to spend. -

We are literally the laughing stock of the premier league. We are such a mess, it’s embarrassing. -

Because without that transparency it doesn’t have the same impact. People can make assumptions etc.

This would be terrible not only for the football club but also the city as a whole. Elon Musk does not represent Leicester. He represents the polar opposite. Im so proud of my city and what we have here. An absolute melting pot of cultures, for which our lives are richer, as a direct result of immigration. We are also very welcoming and supporting on the whole of the LGBT community, and quite liberal. This would be a nightmare. written by a white British heterosexual working class male.

Mark albrighton stated on a recent interview that the move to seagrave saw a big change in the players attitudes. They were gifted a multi million pound health spa where they could go and get a massage or a treatment whenever they wanted. just putting that out there. That came directly from one out of very loyal servants.

You’re a lucky man, I would if I could grow one!

I agree, but I am a genuine fan and would find it very hard not to go. I’m just being honest. I don’t want to go at the moment due to how bad things are, yet find myself sitting in my seat every game.

It is a token boycott, which if only carried out by the few doesn’t have much impact. But at least we know we are doing the right thing for the right reason.

I go with my uncle and my 10 year old son. its actually a fight getting my son to go at the moment. Poor kid caught the bug towards the end of the season before we got relegated. The cracks were showing, but there were still positives - he saw madders score a free kick and immediately he was his favourite player. first season as a Sth he saw us go down. He’s never felt the same since. If we are really honest, last season wasn’t great. I keep renewing his ticket so he still has the option should the club get its act together. But as a result of the recent years, his seat is often empty. I don’t sell it in case he changes his mind last minute and wants to go.

Do what makes you happy. Though I would argue you would get nicer, cheaper pints across the road - same could be said for Morrisons sausage rolls!

Exactly. It’s hard enough to keep up with the direct debit payments, yet they want to fleece us even more and then piss it up the wall. I don’t know if it’s ignorance, lack of care or greed, but do the hierarchy have any idea how difficult it is out here for the working man in the current financial climate? We have had to tighten up so much in our every day lives, go without, prioritise and go without things that aren’t essential. Yet the club see no issue with slapping silly prices on everything, trying to extract as much as they possibly can, to then go and throw it all away. We are having the piss taken out of us royally.

Just wondering if there are many other supporters with a similar outlook as myself on this. Due to the state of the club, mismanagement, poor treatment of fans etc, I refuse to give the club any money apart from the cost of my ticket. That means I no longer buy merchandise, food, drink etc. I arrive just before kick off, and leave on the whistle. I sometimes take a bottle of water as it’s the only beverage the stewards will let me in with. I refuse to be drawn in to staying any longer than I need to other than supporting my team, or giving the club any more of my hard earned money for over priced rubbish so they can be irresponsible with it. How many over priced burgers and flat pints were pissed up the wall on skipp, ayew and edouard? The club don’t deserve our hard earned money to just throw it away. Until I can see that they are doing their jobs properly and running our club sensibly, I will be giving them the bare minimum, just like the current players do. (I will however continue to renew my season ticket, I would find it hard not to having first gone to a game 33 years ago.) This would never catch on on a large enough scale for them to properly notice, but I don’t care, still doing it. We work bloody hard all week, to then be fleeced by the club, and tortured by an absolute shambles from the club on and off the pitch. Things need to change. We are a mess. If we could see a cohesive senior management, recruitment team/philosophy, I would actually be more inclined to part with my hard earned and do my bit to help the club realise their ambition.

I’m kind of in agreement with those that have said we looked better when rvn came in. But it’s marginal, and think it’s down to us keeping hold of the ball a bit more and not being so out and out defensive (but ineffective and clueless). I think it’s a much of a muchness if I’m honest, with rvn being just a little bit better, barely. In truth, I don’t really care if we are defensive, or playing the possession game. My requirement is having a team that press and show some fight and are quick in transition both in attack and going backwards. Why on earth we slow everything down when we get the ball back and let the opposition get back in to shape us beyond me. Why we have got so few players bombing forward is mad. we need to be aiming to hurt the opposition by any means possible. Winks has the capability to play a quick ball for vardy and mavididi. pressing counter attacking football is an absolute must us. Vesty and Okoli at the back. Faes as a dm who drops in to form a 3 when needed. Ndidi (when fit) and Winks or Soumare as box to box midfielders. That would then bench one of vardy, mavididi, bek and Buonanotte - we could rotate a bit here depending on who is in form and who we are playing, leaving one to come on and affect the game full of beans later on.

This is exactly it. I think the appointment of cooper and the summer window has contributed massively to this as we changed our approach to what sort of players we wanted. As a result we’ve ended up with a squad that can do neither the style from before the summer, or the style cooper wanted to bring in. And therefore we are up the creek without a paddle because the squad are literally incapable of being effective in any tactic that would see us get some points. It’s an absolute shambles.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid joins permanently - Official
dooflip replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Pl experience is so over rated. if we would have invested our 40ish million in the summer in bright prospects or even players in their mid twenties from Europe, South America etc that were good value, we would be in a better position. Appreciate that 20m of that was for bilal, who I wouldn’t change. -
Our best player by some way. That speaks volumes, especially when many are saying he isn’t good enough for the premier league! - he absolutely is btw.
