“It khan carry on like this”

There are just some who will never be able to bring themselves to criticise Top, it will always be something else Seagrave, Rodgers, the EPL the EFL, Wellen’s, climate change or aliens…… but never will they dream of saying that Top is rubbish at his job.

Agree. Then interview was pathetic. Propaganda aimed at dangling a tit for the faithful to suckle on… noting but empty words and self preservation tactics to keep the vultures off his back…. Our decline has not been sudden, nor has it been unavoidable. It has been slow, foreseeable, and—most damningly—self-inflicted. Since “Top” assumed full control of the club, we’ve drifted from being a model of modern football governance to a cautionary tale of complacency, indecision, and managerial neglect. This is not an attack on sentiment or legacy. Vichai’s name will always be intertwined with our greatest triumph. But football clubs cannot be run on memory and goodwill alone. What has followed has been a prolonged failure of leadership, where difficult decisions were delayed, accountability was absent, and strategic direction all but vanished. Top’s tenure has been defined by passivity at moments that demanded authority. When the squad aged and stagnated, decisive renewal never came. When recruitment clearly failed to keep pace with the league, those responsible were left untouched. When performances deteriorated, the club clung to hope rather than confronting reality. The result was not loyalty—it was inertia. Nowhere has this weakness been more evident than in our financial governance. The club has become a regular subject of scrutiny, investigation, and disciplinary action from football authorities. Persistent PSR issues have not been the result of bad luck or ambiguous rules, but of a reckless approach to spending without a coherent long-term plan. A well-run club does not repeatedly find itself “in discussion” with the league. We are no longer unfortunate participants in a complex system—we are serial offenders in the eyes of regulators. This constant hounding by league officials is not persecution; it is consequence. It reflects a boardroom that either failed to understand the rules or chose to gamble against them. Either explanation points to incompetence. The penalties, uncertainty, and reputational damage have compounded instability on the pitch, undermining recruitment, morale, and credibility. The most alarming aspect is how far standards have fallen. We were once a Premier League champion and European competitor, now stare at the very real prospect of sliding further down the football pyramid, with relegation battles becoming the norm rather than the exception. A club of this size, support, and infrastructure flirting with the threat of League One is not suffering from misfortune—it is suffering from mismanagement. Leadership in football is not about visibility at trophy parades or silence in moments of crisis. It is about setting vision, enforcing standards, and accepting responsibility when things go wrong. On all three counts, Top has failed. His ownership has been characterised by detachment rather than direction, caution when boldness was required, and a damaging reluctance to admit mistakes. We do not lack resources as such. We do not lack support. We do however lack leadership. Until the club is run with competence, transparency, and urgency—rather than nostalgia and denial—the disarray will continue. And history will not judge this era kindly. Not because success was impossible, but because an incredible decline was allowed….

He will go IMO. Bournemouth can afford to pay £30m and probably will.

No way Wilson comes here, he can paid a mint for being injured in Saudi!!!!

He’s been hampered by Marti’s tactics (or lack thereof) our horrifically slow build up play, and reliance on him and James to do everything. In a better team he would be amazing…

It was impactful whenever Sheffield Wednesday did it, there has to be some form of impact following a protest, something that makes people take notice.

I’d be well up for either, and I agree with you, a march through the city would be impactful, if we can gather the right numbers. Perhaps we can try for a up and coming home game? Meet at the clock tower and proceed through to the KP. I’d also add potentially making us ten minutes late into the ground, a symbol of the ten year decline.

It’s a massive risk, especially when it’s highly likely we’re a bad run away from being in the bottom three….. to do this you’d have to be completely satisfied you won’t go down, and I don’t think we can be……

Or buying a season ticket for the club you love, going every week sitting in silence, clapping off the worst crop of personnel we’ve had play for us, and happily watch the club crash and burn? Does that make a difference? Fans like yourself always see happy to make snide throw away comments yet offer no explanation yourself? What would make a difference then?

Your delusion is comical, it really is. There were more people at the KP for the Boro snow game all those years ago…… just face the music that the majority of the fan base are now finally getting the message, just a few sheltered fans who can’t seem to pull their head out of Top’s arse. I know 20 ST holders who all chose to boycott, the group I go with all Boycotted….. there will be a few who didn’t turn out due to the above, but a large number boycotted. Or didn’t go, because we’re ****ing shit and it’s not really worth it anymore, because the soul of the football club has been ripped out and shat on by its incompetent owner.

Thing is, if he spent less time ****ing around outside the penalty area, I think he would score goals….. but he can’t bring himself to just be a 9….. he’s got to get involved deeper in the pitch for most of the game. This is where Marti needs to be stronger, tell him what he wants him to do…. If Ayew gets into the positions he does all of the time for his goal, he would have 10-15 goals comfortably. He has actually proven he’s a half decent finisher….

That goddam frost.

Send him back, no point keeping him if we can get another loan in his place.

Use this to experiment something different Begovic Aluko Okoli Nelson Thomas Ricardo James Skipp Fatawu Monga Evans

Why not just deploy him in midfield? It’s clear he can’t get up and down the wing like he used to, and he was class centrally under Enzo….. and reason why he can’t just play as part of the double pivot? Marti has to something different…..

The audacity to put the PL logo on the outside 😂

Maybe a couple of loans on deadline day, that’s probably going to be it if anything at all.

Thing is, this will keep Marty in a job, until we get ****ing roasted by Cov and will be back to square one.

They’ve stopped sending them to me after my last lot of feedback 😂

What is our obsession with ****ing Southampton, do we feel sorry for them because we savaged them once upon a time? Next we will be doing ****ing shoebox Christmas’s and soup kitchens for them….

He’s still better than Mavididi.

Rodgers doesn’t get any free passes from me. He carries a portion of the blame of course, his part to play, was A receiving too much control, and requesting the support of his mate…. However, that control was given to him by the boardroom. They’ve showed Rodgers far too much respect and gave him far too much control….. this is a mistake from the board, they showed weakness if you want to call it that…… placing far too much trust in a man who’s always been in the game for himself, and clearly was wanting away after we won the FA cup. Rodgers should have been sacked after the Forest game in the FA cup, as it became clear that he was no longer interested in the project here. The mistake the board made was hang on to him for far too long, to the point where he essentially asked to be sacked after the Palace game…. Top hasn’t got the same proactive leadership as his late father, who would have dismissed Rodgers much sooner. So Rodgers biggest failing was giving up, and essentially hanging on for his pay cheque. However, the PSR and financial issues firmly lay at Top and the boardrooms door. Regardless Rodgers behaviour and failings, Top, Susan, John et al, signed all of these deals off, they’re the ones who oversaw the finances and they’re the ones who made these deals happen. Top is the one who has overseen the decline, it’s all happened on his watch, regardless of anything happening beneath him, the fault lays with him, he is the boss, and he’s the one who should have been putting on the measures to prevent this from happening. As it’s been mentioned, nearly half a billion has gone through this club since we won the PL, so there’s absolutely no excuse to be where we are, Top hasn’t done his job properly, he’s been lazy appointing the wrong people to run the club, John Rudkin is an academy coach, not a director of football…. And over the years we’ve seen an erosion to the operation that Nigel Pearson helped to forge along with the late Vichai. Top has failed to see this through, and he has failed to put it right. He delivered what was no more that a PR self preservation stunt, throwing out cuddly toys and bumbling around the fan store, and then disappears…. Top unfortunately, carries the majority of the blame, others have contributed yes, but the decline has happened on his watch, he hasn’t prevented it, and has offered no indication of how he is going to reverse it. The damage is done, and he now needs to let go of the club, he has to put us up for sale, because it is abundantly clear he can’t do the job his father did before him, not even at King Power can he.
