Pliskin

We wouldn’t have no. However, Pearson’s ideology on how a club should be set up meant when Ranieri came in, all he had to do was coach. He didn’t need to worry about transfers, recovery, sorts science etc. so he was the perfect tonic to a team with the right balance of talent, desire and work ethic. It was a one hit wonder, everything perfectly aligned, everyone pulled in the same direction and we rode on the crest of the wave of momentum. Vichai purchasing the club enabled this, absolutely. King Power undoubtedly took the club to a new level. But, successes are there to be commented, and mistakes are there to be questioned…. I don’t think any Leicester fan genuinely thinks Ill of Top, it must be difficult to recover from the tragic loss of his father, and we’ve got to accept his emotional connection with the club is going to be different now, than it was when his father was here. So for me there no coincidence that the club has declined in his father absence. It is my opinion that Kun Vichai was very good at recovering from mistakes, and dare I say, John Rudkin probably wouldn’t be here if he was still with us. King Power have lost control of the club, and this can’t be argued, strings of poor decisions have ultimately led to the most spectacular demise in modern football history, and that history tells us to bring it back around in this current regime will be very difficult. I have said it many times, in my opinion Top either needs to restructure his top office and bring in better footballing brains, or he needs to accept the club needs to be sold, to someone who can carry it forward. All good things come to an end eventually, and this may well be the end for King Power and Leicester city.

He does summarise it well. Hits the main points!

Liverpool could not bother turning up and still win.

I don’t care if the stadium is full of Liverpool fans. King Power need to be embarrassed, reputation is everything to them, and the only way the message gets through…… otherwise this ship will continue on its voyage to the iceberg.

I do somewhat disagree. The gap is considerable, but the quality of the league is shite, Brighton are dreadful, yet a comfortable mid table premier league team. As I’ve said my opinion is that football as a whole is currently on its arse, largely thanks to Pep and his boring football ideology. Modern footballers are collectively technically better, and much better athletes, but they’re all the same, with no real stand out individuals. Players like Monga if he was to join Man City would just become another product of the Pep passing machine…… My point being, it’s poor recruitment that’s shafting some teams. Bournemouth, Fulham and Brentford have all managed to come up and build stable sides, I don’t think any of them are actually that good, they’re average compared to seasons gone before, but they’ve recruited fairly well and have built decent young squads that have matured together. Our recruitment has been disgustingly bad this season, and we’ve spent about £80m….. on shit like Ayew, BDR and ****ing Edouard…… Ipswich have been clever and have built a team that if it goes down, will piss the championship and come back up, similar to Bournemouth and Fulham recently. Southampton have also recruited poorly…. Forest on the other hand have done a bit of a **** you and spent what they wanted, got a slap on the wrist and carried on. We could have spent £80m much better than we have, we’ve pissed away the KDH money and built a team weaker than the one we came up with. It’s this that will be our undoing, continual poor recruitment. It will be interesting to see how this develops next season. You either recruit cleverly, and future plan, or you over spend, build a squad capable of surviving and accept a nominal punishment. There are ways around it, but it’s down to who’s prepared to take the risks.

This club never ceases to amaze me…….. have they got someone inside the club doing PR and community engagement just taking the piss? “Anyone have any ideas how we get the fans back inside”? ”Yes, let’s do a signing session over Easter, the kids love that” ”Who shall we use, Hermensen? Bilal”? ”How about Jordan Ayew and Bobby Reid? The fans give both huge cheers when they get substituted”? ”Brilliant idea! Shall we send John Rudkin too? He gets a lot of attention on match day”? …….

April the 1st has gone mate!

We will be gone before then is Wolves win?

I can see Braybrooke leaving. Where does he fit? From what I’ve seen of his this season in the academy, he hasn’t stood out. He’s looked fairly ordinary to be honest. Can he operate at championship level? I doubt it, you want either Winks or a Winks replacement, which he doesn’t fit, because I don’t think at this moment he’s got the physicality in his game. The one thing Guy said that I agree with, is when your moments gone, it can often be gone….. I fear with Braybrooke that his time has unfortunately gone, and he needs to move on the kick start his career at league one level perhaps. Rather than hang around our academy and not progress.

Especially when Jordan comes across as far more articulate than Guy did…..

Another thing is his comment about the standard of the PL…. Being another level? This is definitely the worst PL since its inception…… so called top clubs standards falling well below what they usually set, and mediocre clubs over performing with largely average squads….. He lives with his head in the clouds a bit there, like someone said, 6”4 McAteer? That was a bit like Martin Allen saying Ngotty won the World Cup for France…..

Really good listen, and insightful! But what I would say is Guy clearly has a professional and personal relationship with the club….. There were things he said that really didn’t make any sense, such as essentially we are not a mid table team? So if we aren’t, then what to teams like Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton and Fulham class as? Considering they’re probably half the size of us? He also tried to defend the club but in the same breath suggested that someone else was to blame? I mean to try and suggest that our financial mistakes are because we’re competing against mid table teams, and can’t? Bit of a strange view that…… especially when 101% of our turnover on player wages??? Don’t think so mate. Claiming he wants Ruud to have a proper go? Blokes statistically the worst PL manager in history, sending us on this run? The damage has already been done for Ruud, there’s no coming back from this. I also don’t entirely agree with the comments around using the academy, Will Alves, V Jordon Ayew? Alves would be far more productive than him, he clearly doesn’t want to be here, and there’s a discord between him and the fans too. When you’re ****ed why would you rely on him, over a young academy lad who will want to play. It was an insightful pod, bit of dick swinging I think from Guy wanting to essentially praise but then diminishing the academy, which was odd, clear that he’s got a vested professional interest in the club, and doesn’t want to disrupt that! On Rudkin, if he is that good of a DOF, why are we in such a shitty mess? If he’s as straight talking as he said, and he isn’t to blame and that others around him may be, why is John not addressing this? A bit of a bumbling response to be honest….. what would be nice is to get an interview from someone who used to work with the club, but no longer has any affiliation with them whatsoever, and maybe able to speak candidly about what goes on behind the scenes?

Shrink it, won’t need this many seats in league 2!

Will Top be advertising the club?

Can Top see beyond his nose?

Golding is nowhere near, nowhere near ready. He’s barelt looked ready at the level he’s playing at. He won’t ever play first team football for us, I don’t think he’s good enough personally.

We’ve got no choice I don’t think, otherwise as Tom Perry said, “free falling”.

With a different striker, even that team should piss the championship.

He looked decent in the match yesterday!

David from Coalville?

Ipswich will win the championship at a canter next year. They’ve ensured they go down stronger than the team who came up.

Who deleted my post match thread? We’ve already lost!

The size of the club we are, we shouldn’t even be there. My expectation is to win it at a canter, however, I just don’t trust the board to get it right…..

Spot on, yesterday’s draw should celebrated as some kind of corner turning effort wise…. Brighton were wasteful it seems, and could have buried us comfortably with a better attack. This is the worst version of Leicester city I have ever seen, and Ruud (along with Top, Rudkin and Susan and some of the playing squad) are responsible. It’s staggering Ruud still has a job, we sacked Cooper for doing a better one……

Absolutely not, it’s going to be hard enough next year, if Ruud is our manager it’s straight down.
