Paninistickers

What an odd set of reactive posts. The OP wasn't trying surely to make it a sympathy thread for Smithies. It's about the robotic DoF who has no other human skills than to utter 'forever in our hearts' & 'yes sir, no sir three bags full sir' ad infinitum

The statue should be in the garden..Or in Stoke.

Or in City fans' case Cloud Cuckold Land! 😂

Ol' micropenis won't have a clue. He'll be sat in his KP bangkok skyscraper scrolling on tiktok looking for his umpteenth massage today But Rudkin. I'm.not as anti him as others (he's the symptom not the cause) but I must be so naive....i can't see hows he sits at home tonight sloshing a nice vino round his glass without any guilt, shame, embarrassment? Where's his professional dignity? His self respect? His honesty?

The fact that league one Derby, the worst team I've seen us play in 15 years, are 8th is yet more evidence of how bad this division is

The absolute joy those late 60s couples are experiencing right now; league one..Thier Jelson semis. Yorkshire terriers yapping. Winter clothes from Matalan. Millionaire on TV. Completing the quiz in TV Quick magazine.

I agree largely with you. I didn't word my point well.. It's the basic notion of 'dont live in Leicester it's a shithole' advice all the staff seem to get as they hurtle into gaffs in Nottingham. It sets the tone that the place is dying. I get that kasper Schmeichel.had never ever heard of bradgate park,.lol. but he never moved here. I get that. But to choose to move here and then be warned off and advised to move into west Bridgford - it sets the wrong tone

My pet peeve is the living in Nottingham thing. Players more or less told from the get go 'dont live in Leicester it's a shithole' sets the tone. Funnily enough,.players should take even more pride in backing local businesses of an unfashionable area. I don't think it's a coincidence that players who live in an area bond with it too. Ranieri in Stoneygate. Wilf in Cropston. Youri in Quorn. Vards a.bit further away but still local initially. A club needs to sell the life, the responsibility and not just the wages In our case, championing a relaxed lifestyle in Rutland, Harbourogh, Stoneygate, Woodhouse, Quorn Kirby Muxloe, Newton Linford should sell the concept of buying in to the community....much in the way the Manchester clubs 'sell' living in Cheshire

We'll end up like Rangers and have to spend five years fighting just to get back to the Championship - at best. . We'll be lucky if the national League lets us in at North level, as they were lucky the SFL let them straight in to Division 2.. If it rids of this lot though, it'll be worth it.

I don't think @wurmer is correct here. I've followed the Macquirie finance for the last 6/7 years we've used them.. They are due the parachute money, KDH instalments Barnes Hermansen instalments etc. So that amount of debt we owe them is basically a guarantee. The money is on its way to Macquirie. Any other debt is to KP - which was converted to equity.. The problem is cashflow. Unless we shift 50m or so this summer (I don't think we will) or KP lend us the 50m (I don't think they can) we are out. Gone. Game over. KP will cling onto the stadium and Seagrave and attempt to use them as leverage for an administrator or newly formed club

For a start, you don't have to sit in the assigned seat. Second, what can muscle do if 20 or so we're disciplined enough to keep a lid on it, just keep it on the limit? That said, me buying a ticket for the first time in 18 months it wouldn't take much to work out

I raised this a few years ago about insisting in the contract that players can't be based in Nottingham (unless already living there) ....the suggestion was roundly mocked.. But it's about recruiting players who understand the committment and responsibility to the community they represent. It's a culture and standards thing. The fact 90% of our squad scream off in their cars to west Bridgford within seconds of leaving the seagrave dressing room sickens me. It sums the club culture up.

Well, it needs some restraint and discipline then. And with, say, only 20 there, it's easier to manage. I'm down. 19 others - and that'll do.

I keep banging on and on and it's proved to have next to no interest from posters on here....but for anything above 20 people to get west stand seats as close to the director box as possible and let the empty chair see some real hostility for the first time ever. It needn't be aggressive or abusive. Just standing there eyeballing the club management.....it would be extremely effective and the create the maximum amount of discomfort. More so than a rabble outside kettled by stewards.

Listen, I'm not looking for a row with you. And reading between the lines,but sounds as if you know a little about her. I don't suspect malintent from her. But she was either a puppet CEO or a real CEO. Meaning she either administered catastrophic on and off field performance for the first options or was responsible for it if the second. Neither reflects well on her professionally.

I agree however, I think theres a realistic chance seagrave was not a vanity project; but built as a financial mechanism for offshore funds holding assets for OCGs

To continue with my 'camp guard' analogy; resigned - but only when the Russians were at the door.

Mate most Americans couldn't tell you where London is. I can guarantee that still, most people with even the vaguest interest in football, USA or worldwide, know Leicester. Our mild meek cuckold self deprecating 'little ol' leicester' fanbase have no idea how impressive our reputation is aboard..

American money pumped into Bournemouth, Leeds, Palace, even Birmingham, Wrexham FFS. There would be numerous funds who'd see a five year flip of, say 400m into 600m

Lots and lots of organisations would buy us and finance us. But he won't sell. He will destroy us, himself and his family wealth rather than admit defeat

This was a 'businesswoman' who refused to sell available seats to supporters in our last championship season. And in Europe. And the charity shield.. What kinda of business person actively refuses to sell its product? Don't give a shit how much Pearson or Vards liked her. They only saw one side of her. The fans suffered the other.. Edit; refused to deal with local businesses that wanted to sponsor too; walkers/PepsiCo and DHL She's a disgrace.

It isn't a simplistic view. If a football manager had no say in team selection or tactics, they would resign. Likewise if a CEO had no say in ticketing policy, loan/finance arrangements,. payroll, commercial revenues....they too would resign. If,.big if here, they were a conventional CEO.. She was,.I'd imagine,. simply a KP yes woman. The old concentration camp guard. Only obeying orders.

She was CEO ffs. Every buck stops with her. Everything. Every signing. Every loan. Every payroll. Every burger. Every toilet.

Never liked the guy anyway. A Peter Taylor man.

Gotta break it to you pal, BC game don't exist.. It's all financial chicanery
