  1. Make it stop
  2. As ****ing shit as he's undeniably been, I can't help but love that as a Syston lad his best performances for us were Forest and Derby 😂
  3. I don't think it's unwarranted all the time, that's why I said at times. He's put in much better performances than his replacements and got harsher treatment in my opinion. The fight he shown in that Derby second half alone to get us the points was more than I've seen from any other defender. Nelson is seriously questionable at the minute but I'm willing to believe the fans who've seen enough of him to believe that will change. But if he's refusing to sign a new contract I won't lose any sleep as it stands.
  4. Absolutely. It's almost comparable to the man management you need at international level. The talent I have no doubt is there but the motivation, culture and basics are lacking. Marti coming in being quite a likeable guy with a philosophy was everything Top wanted but everything we didn't need for where we are at. I had plenty of issues with Maresca's philosophy but what it's undeniable is the way the players bought into him and his ideas. The respect was instantly there, as it was for Rodgers with a different group who needed that. The bar is that low that getting them to run more would be a start.
  5. Dependant on debt. There's been a lot of controversy about the BSLB podcast presenter saying the best route out of this is League One, but the way Top spoke in that interview sounded to me like he's prepared to sell if he gets us back to where we were. We know how much saving face is massive with them and Thai people as a whole. It can of course go the way of Sheffield Wednesday. But I think there's at least an obvious willingness to sell because of our just reaction to the situation. I just don't think he can stomach doing it with us in an obviously worse predicament than when his Father died.
  6. Just baffles me Okoli is constantly linked with Europa League teams. We know Faes ended up at a champions league team but at least you can see they are (wrongly) going after a player who fits the world obsession with playing from the back. The worst part about our decline is watching all these players jump to teams in top divisions. Even worse when they suddenly put a shift in. If that doesn't show you where the culture at our club is at then nothing will.
  7. It's become very obvious now that the money to fund the club run out a few years ago and running costs have subsequently been funded by loans against transfers that were paid in installments. So the "nothing to see here" kind of posts that were telling us how standard procedure this was for clubs were right on the one hand, but completely wrong for our situation. Not only have we taken them out against transfers in installments but TV money we won't now get. This means the next big sale (likely to be Fatawu) that might be £20-25m will have already been spent. So we'll all be weighing up potential new signings all summer and yet again we'll be asking where the moneys gone. Then we likely stay in this hole until there aren't any sellable assets. We are literally a case study on how to fold a club at this point. All this is basically because Top is trying to save face because his company has struggled so much. Not only that but he thinks the whole of Leicester owe him everything, even if it means our club ceasing to exist.
  8. The shit Vestegaard has got at times has been completely unwarranted and he's a much better defender than Okoli. Plus he can actual pass a football.
  9. Sorry I was one who said we cannot go down, and you'll see I'm the most critical person of Top and Rudkin you'll find. So I assumed it was in response to the many comments on here who opposed what was said. I did hear you say you don't want us to go down. I haven't seen any of the abuse of Jake on socials but I agree they are ****ing morons to not put the blame on Top and Rudkin.
  10. Calling anyone who said they don't want to go down because they want a club left "KP flag shaggers" is another poor take. We just want a club left. Completely agree that anyone who still supports King Power, Top and Rudkin absolute morons but it's far from just those people who want us to stay up and still get them out.
  11. Is there really anything to brag about for United? We all love rivalries but you'd have to be a special kind of person to enjoy that. Okay yeah they probably did.
  12. Hope he hangs his boots up at the end of this season.. The less middle aged, impotent men I have to see begging for attention in Italy the better.
  13. We didn't deserve to lose to stoke
  14. That was absolutely mad looking back. Why didn't any of the clubs closer agree to a ground share seen as you have so many closer ones? I know still not ideal but ****ing Northampton.
  15. Won't find a bigger critic of Winks than me and I get what you're all saying about the celebration. But I think we'd be more pissed off if he had a frown on his face and jogged back to the halfway line. We need him to at least show that kind of passion until end of the season then he can still **** off. Amazing support yesterday and I hope the players and other fanbases see it and realise this isn't an entitled fanbase who are pressurising their players by booing and getting on their back. It's a fanbase disgusted by players who don't care. Sick of this narrative some push that we got here because of the title win.
  16. Do we? We haven't been proactive enough with selling if anything
  17. Getting a lot of praise from Stoke fans on social media.
  18. Just seen Mark Robins interview. I like him, but I hate when managers talk about a game like everything that went against them was a cheap goal or shouldn't have happened and everything they did was great. He talks about they should have been more than 1-0 up and says our goals were poor, yet their goal comes from poor defending. You can say that about most goals, especially at this level. Their other "chances" in the first half weren't nearly as clear as the ones we missed at the end. I wouldn't mind it if we didn't have like 3 or 4 more unbelievable chances in the second half. Prefer it when managers just say it like it is. They were much better first half and we were much better second. But don't pretend you're hard done by Mark.
  19. Agree, but don't forget Marti got the same reaction early on.
  20. N'zonzi and Aaron Cresswell. Just heard these names mentioned. As good as the second half was, the fact we are in this position content with a point against players I associate with being decent ten years ago is ****ing criminal. You cannot operate on the wage structure we do and finish anywhere near where we are. But yet again Leicester find a way don't they. I ****ing despair.
  21. Honestly think you could say they're all below the level of what you'd describe as mid table championship players. Without looking I bet there is players that cost £500,000-£1m who have more goals and assists than all 3. That should embarrass them. That old saying, skill without will. Talent without hard work means nothing. We all kind of expect it from a few players in every squad because that's where we are at with modern professional football. But we have about 15 of them.
  22. Genuinely think he's National League North/South before 30
  23. This isn't the time for Monga. He only played because Fatawu was out but he's not going to get us out the mess we are in. If we get James ,Mukassa and Fatawu fit with 10 games left I think we comfortably stay up. There's more avenues that lead to us going down though as it stands. Much improved second half but it's almost even more disgraceful to see they have it in them. If we were just this shit it wouldn't be so frustrating.
  24. Not quite Ranieri levels of baseball cap wearing though is it
