Pliskin

If he ****ed can facilitate the removal of King Power in all for it

Honestly. I was suggesting long walks where’s it’s quiet and dry and talk about precious things. Play cards, watch re-runs of friends and knit.

I don’t mind looking after Lucy if he wants to come for a couple of weeks?

First post of call after sticking the nut on Ayew, is to book a team building trip to La Manga.

Vichai did hold people accountable, but then he would because he built a business from the ground up. Top doesn’t have that same mindset or leadership capacity. Which is exactly the reason we’re in a mess!

Only Jord could get away with threads like that.

We’re that ****ing stupid, we will probably employ Pearson with 5 games left

Genuinely can’t see us getting a point. Defeat has just become a formality.

I know you said don’t take it seriously, but at the moment I can’t help myself and simply have to get on my soapbox at every opportunity….. I apologise in advance…. I completely understand the instinct to push back against apocalyptic talk. You’re right in one important sense: a city the size of Leicester does not just stop playing football. Clubs have reformed before, phoenix sides have risen, and civic identity tends to outlive bad ownership, bad boards, and even liquidation. But I think where we differ is on the distinction between a football club in Leicester and Leicester City in its current form. That distinction really matters. I agree that total extinction of football in Leicester is unlikely. What is entirely plausible, however, is the collapse of Leicester City in its current corporate, financial, and structural form — and that’s not melodrama. It’s arithmetic. Ill try and breakdown why I feel like I do, and why I’m OTT about it…. 1. The Financial Reality: This Isn’t 2002 Anymore Leicester’s current cost base was built for Premier League revenues. Over recent seasons the club has: • Carried one of the highest wage bills outside the traditional “Big Six” • Posted significant operating losses • Relied heavily on Premier League broadcasting income • Seen a sharp decline in transfer profit compared to the 2016–2021 cycle • Been exposed to tightening PSR rules. When you build a club around £100m+ broadcasting income, you cannot simply “adjust” to League One levels of revenue without structural trauma. 2. Why League One Would Be Catastrophic — Not Just Painful Championship relegation is one thing. League One is another universe. Broadcasting Revenue Drop • Premier League: £100m+ • Championship (with parachute): manageable for a short window • Championship (without parachute): tight • League One: low single-digit millions That’s not a reduction. That’s a cliff edge. Parachute payments only cushion one fall. If they’re exhausted before stability is restored, the club becomes structurally over-leveraged overnight. 3. Wage Commitments vs. Revenue Reality Even with relegation clauses, contracts don’t magically disappear. You still face: • Multi-year deals signed at Premier League levels • Amortised transfer fees still sitting on the books • Infrastructure and staffing costs tied to top-flight operations If revenue collapses faster than costs can be stripped out, the club is forced into: • Distressed asset sales • Points deductions • Emergency borrowing • Or administration At that stage, liquidation stops being hysterical rhetoric and becomes one of several possible outcomes. Not inevitable — but absolutely within the realm of football precedent. 4. Precedent Matters Big cities have lost clubs before. Reforming is possible — but reforming means: • New company • New league placement (often far below expectations) • Loss of honours history • Loss of assets • Years, sometimes decades, of rebuilding Yes, Leicester would reform. But it would not be this Leicester City. It would be a successor club, starting from scratch in practical terms. That’s the part people are reacting to emotionally. 5. The Stadium Argument You’re right that demolition is unlikely if it’s financially irrational. But that depends on ownership structure and creditor hierarchy. If secured lenders need asset recovery, football sentiment doesn’t enter the equation. Ground-sharing at Tigers sounds romantic — and yes, in theory, viable — but that presumes: • No legal disputes over stadium ownership • No administration complications • No buyer disputes • No insolvency litigation Once insolvency lawyers enter the room, civic common sense tends to leave it. 6. The Spiral Risk The real danger isn’t a single relegation. It’s the compound effect: 1. Relegation 2. Revenue collapse 3. Fire-sale of talent 4. Competitive decline 5. Further relegation 6. PSR sanctions 7. Creditor pressure That’s how clubs slide from “too big to fail” to “how did this happen?” And Leicester’s recent financial trajectory — heavy losses, reliance on top-tier income, limited liquidity flexibility — means the margin for error is thin. 7. Where I Agree With You I agree we shouldn’t infantilise the fanbase with “your children won’t have a club” hysteria. Leicester the city would absolutely rally behind a phoenix club. But dismissing collapse as impossible because of population size or civic pride underestimates how ruthless football finance can be. This isn’t about melodrama. It’s about leverage ratios. 8. The Hard Truth There is a difference between: • “We’d be back.” • And “We’d survive intact.” One is cultural certainty. The other is financially contingent. Relegation to League One, given the current financial structure, could trigger: • Insolvency • Administration • Points deductions • Forced sale of the stadium • Or, in a worst-case chain reaction, liquidation Not because Leicester isn’t a big club. But because modern football is a leveraged industry. 9. The Real Frustration The anger at ownership and leadership isn’t hyperbole. It’s born from watching risk accumulate. When fans talk apocalyptically, it’s often because they can see: • The wage bill • The loss trajectory • The lack of strategic reset And they know how quickly football moves once gravity takes hold. You’re absolutely right that Leicester wouldn’t disappear from the map. But it is not hyperbolic to say that this version of Leicester City could absolutely collapse if mismanagement meets relegation at the wrong moment. And that’s not hysteria. That’s modern football economics. Right, I think I’ve said everything I’ve ever known, so I’m going to sit in a dark room for a few weeks…..

I’ve been there. I went home and away when we were in league one. That league one campaign will be VASYLY different to this, that’s if this even is a campaign because it’s likely we won’t exist. But, we will be in terrible shape if we go, god knows if we will even have 11 players to output. Anything worth selling will be sold just to try and keep the club afloat.

It speaks volumes of the type of person that supports that type of KP propaganda…. Something left unplugged.

Charlie isn’t the best endorsement, but he knows his shit. He isn’t alone though. How many people have spoken about our terrible demise? There’s been a few, this has just coincided with a rise in tensions following the deduction. But there’s been more than him saying we’re ****ed…. I imagine over the coming months more articles will be written and interviews had regarding the state of the club.

I really, really hate the argument of past successes “they’ve given us the best ten years” rubbish. Things such as poor mindset, and it’s one of the reasons we’re in desperate danger of going bust….. Other clubs have fort for the future of their clubs when they’ve been on the brink of disaster, and yet still have fans that will sit in denial and blindly support the club as it drowns. What happens when we’re gone? What happens when we go down, and end up folding? What will those who support Top and KingPower day then? I’m intrigued to know…… Sitting inside the stadium? In silence, is not support, being blindly optimistic in the face of disaster isn’t support either. Fighting for something you’re passionate about is support, calling out inadequate running of your team is support, not wanting your club to dissolve int one existence because of one man’s incompetence and his band of idiots. The bottom line is Top and his board room have driven this club into the ground, and there’s a very real possibility that this ends us. Is this what people want? Or will they sit there and said “we used to have a football club once”…….

Thick.

it’s so sad to see what’s happened to Riccy, would we consider making him more of a coach? Get him on the sidelines?

Bade is miles better than Ricardo, and I’d suggest Victor is significantly better than Thomas too. We just need a ****ing coach…..

I just think anyone who supports KP and top are just thick.

It’s not about investing millions. What you’re highlighting is good decisions…. Which is something we’re not capable of. It’s not got anything to do really with significant investment, that’s the stance idiots like Graham off blue tinted specs puts forward, always referring to investment and blaming the PL for not allowing investment blah blah blah. Competent decisions, and a sound structure at the top of the club would make a huge difference.. What is irritating, is Top clearly is out of his depth, couldn’t organise a pencil case, has no intension of removing a significant problem in John Rudkin, but above all he has no idea how to run a football club, or apparently a business either. Marches can make a difference, clubs have managed to force owners out in the past, and if the protest numbers supersede the fans inside the ground, it might be enough for Top to understand he’s no longer welcome here. Apparently he’s a mady little twat anyway, so I’d imagine he will spit his dummy out and make some stupid statement.

I’ve yet to see a KPFC fan put forward an articulate argument. Everything they say is always the same drivel….

I see a lot of people talk about the amount of money “Top and his family” have put into the club, but then won’t mention the sheer amount of money, and MASSVE money that they have lost. We’ve had more money come through the club from Revenue than King power have ever put in.

Just hearing some of the KPFC fans points of views are frightening….. I don’t accept for a second that this is primarily the fault of the league authorities. Our decline is self-inflicted. Over the past decade, an extraordinary amount of money has flowed through this club — from Premier League revenues, Champions League participation, and major player sales. For a club of our size, those resources should have entrenched long-term stability, smart succession planning, and competitive resilience. Instead, we’ve lurched from short-term thinking to costly mistakes, both on and off the pitch. The deterioration hasn’t happened overnight, and it isn’t bad luck. It is the cumulative result of poor recruitment, muddled strategic decisions, and a lack of accountability at executive level. When performances repeatedly crumble under pressure, that reflects a culture and structure that are not functioning properly. Those things are shaped at the top. What makes it unacceptable — and frankly inexcusable — is that this should have been impossible given the financial platform the club was handed. We were not operating from scarcity; they were operating from strength. To have regressed so sharply despite that advantage points directly to ownership and leadership failures. Fans are entitled to support the owners if they wish, but unconditional defence of King Power in the face of clear decline only removes pressure for meaningful reform. If we refuse to acknowledge where responsibility lies, we become part of the reason nothing changes…. How can some not see this?

There we go, pretty much invalidates his opinions then.

Get Vardy 1 on 1 and I bet you will.

Is he really? I’d love to see him on the big strong Leicester boys pod, go head to head with Jord.
