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.

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.

Feel for Ruud a bit in that he’s inherited a basket case of a club - what a mess. Today however, was bizarre. Very strange decisions. Dont really see what a change in manager would do at this point though. No money to spend, worst squad in the league, none of the players care, and we are lacking quality everywhere. No manager who could make a difference takes this job.

Genuinely don’t think Justin deserves as much stick as this guy. The worst player to wear the shirt in recent years, and at over 20m, it’s criminal. Get in the Skipp!

Languishing in the football league for years. Never being much good. The good bit was being a young lad following your local team, we even got a few Wembley outings. walking to and from home games living a stones throw away.. The excitement, the atmosphere. But there was a lot of bad - The yo yo times. La manga …twice. Championship struggles. Financial issues to the point we nearly ceased to exist. League one. The championship again. we have won the premier league, and the fa cup. We got deep in the champs league. We narrowly missed out on champs league twice. At our worst point in all the recent good stuff. We are still in a better position than we were when the owners came. We were satisfied a lot less, less expectation - the main goal wasn’t actually winning at the highest level when they arrived. But what they brought in new expectation - and I for one and guilty of that. its important to reflect on all of the above. As I said in another thread, the only time I will be kicking up a fuss about the owners is when we are back in championship obscurity where they found us. I would however accept a silly deal from an oil state etc, but would never entertain an American bid. Having Top isn’t as bad as us having to complete in a non promotion no relegation league, and all are club names changed to Leicester foxes and Arsenal gunners. …ok I know Tottenham beat us the names.

For me personally, I feel we do need to be fair given the journey we have been on with the current owners in charge. Yes, things are bloody awful and it’s been a hard few years. But had we not achieved what we did since they took over, we wouldn’t be disgusted at the current state of play like we are now. I do want to see changes - ie new structure in terms of how the club is run, recruitment etc. But until we are back where we were when the owners came in, I couldn’t bring myself to protest against them. I’m 37, was down filbert street at 4, went to the playoffs in the 90s - the club has been in worse states than this (both on and off the pitch) to the point where we nearly didn’t exist. Perspective is important. Rudkin however, and the general structure of the club, I could protest about. Just not the owners themselves at this point. They have given us more than was ever reasonably expected. The only owners I would take currently would be an oil state or something extreme like that. I wouldn’t let the Americans anywhere near us, and would be probably the most gutted I have ever been as a Leicester fan if we were bought by an American owner.

Same as 15/16 then

If we weren’t Leicester fans, a lot of us would be loving what they’ve done this season. Watched them on Monday and they had 7 homegrown (uk, not club) players in the starting lineup. As it stands, I keep hoping they will self destruct, but it’s not going to happen. Europa league as a minimum, but more likely champions league for them next season.

The one I really regret is not signing is szmodics. Could have had him for less than ayew and edouard combined and could have covered several positions.

Roll necks are mandatory

Over 15m for two flops in edouard and ayew. i was looking at some info on jobe Bellingham the other day - Sunderland bought him for 1.25m! He’s now worth 20odd mil. Let that sink in for a minute…

Louie Barry would be a better shout!

If we do get relegated and we want to do business, we need to do it before July, because that’s when the embargo will start.

We said the same about Souttar. We have a weird habit of buying players and then deciding they aren’t good enough without really giving them a run. Souttar should have been in the side last year - that would have saved us paying over the odds and being lumbered with an ageing Coady.
