I support LCFC, not the regime. The owner - has finally got the manager of his dreams - what a moron he is.

The word salad platitudes in the announcement gave us no clues to what comes next. The manager’s appointment has been a distraction from the day to day reality that the club is on the edge of a financial abyss. Strap yourselves in for the bumpiest scary ride ever. Leicester never do things by half.

By force by the sounds of it. 

I was referring to the use of the word ‘alignment’ in the statement but yes everyone at the club must do Aiyatwatt’s bidding.

McCarron - the buzz word abuser 

He’s aligned though.

It can't be too often that a mid table club sacks its own manager and replaces him with a manager already sacked by a club in the relegation places in the same division 🤔

The Aiyatwatt way.

Well, it's proof that there'll be no reset or rethink.

 

The failure to recognise the need to go back to square one, to divorce themselves from awful, demonstrably wrong misconceptions they had in the post-Ranieri era that this kind of football was the only 'sustainable' kind of football, to overhaul the boardroom, to accept that someone else may need to make the big decisions... it was always going to end badly, wasn't it?

 

If you want positives, then I wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility of it working in the short term. We might come back up, you never know.

 

But it feels very, very unlikely to me that, in the long run, it'll go down as an astute appointment. And the chances of it going wrong from the off are immense. There's an unholy level of unrest and disapproval just waiting to re-erupt, and many erstwhile KP apologists will be as bemused by this appointment as I am.

 

It's an utterly bonkers decision. A huge call. As childish as it sounds, it's as if Top is reminding us that this is his club and he'll do as he pleases with it. I believe he's capable of that degree of incompetence and egomania. There'll be fans who think that if this goes horribly wrong, and quickly, then that might work out better for us over time. Like Sousa in 2010. I'm not sure I agree, but you can see why people would feel that way.

 

When you raise eyebrows at the decision-making at Leicester City, then as a general rule your worst fears about their ineptitude fall well short of how entirely useless they really are. It'd be wonderful to be reflecting, five years or so from now, on how insanely wrong I was. But the feeling is starting to creep in that, when people warned four or five months ago that the club was on a path to extinction if it didn't correct course, that we're seeing the first motions of a 'this is exactly what you're not supposed to do' masterclass.

 

Or perhaps Josh Holland was right all along.

Brilliant, passionate and on the money post mate. Sums up exactly my sentiments 👏

Robert Huth on Leicester City's downfall, recruitment, fanbase anger and what's next

Robert Huth speaks to LeicestershireLive on Leicester City's drop from the Premier League to League One and what needs to happen for them to bring back the glory days

 

Josh Holland Leicester City correspondent
07:00, 13 Jun 2026
Leicester City title-winner Robert Huth believes the club must focus on stabilising themselves after back-to-back relegations from the Premier League to League One.

The Foxes will play in the third tier of English football for only the second time in their history after last season's disaster in the Championship. After their nine-year stay in the Premier League - which included them pulling off one of the games greatest ever achievements in 2016 - came to an end in 2023, the club have failed to recover and find themselves at their lowest point.

City will go into the 2026/27 season as one of the favourites to win the League One title, just as they were in 2008 when they were last at this level. Preparations for the new campaign will begin in a few weeks time, with the search for a new manager appearing to be close to reaching its conclusion.

Huth, who joined City in 2015 and played huge roles in the Premier League title win and run to the Champions League quarter-final, has stressed the importance of everyone at the club coming to terms with the reality of League One.

 

Speaking to LeicestershireLive (via LeoVegas), the former defender explained the key principles needed for the club to rebuild after a "really difficult couple of years.". He said: "The first thing Leicester need to do is park the idea of being a Premier League club. Put it to one side and forget about it for a while.

"That’s not being disrespectful — it’s just reality. Right now, you’re a League One club. The objective is to get back into the Championship. Let’s not talk about where the club might be in ten years’ time. Let’s focus on stabilising things first.

 

"There are still questions about recruitment and, at the moment, there’s still no manager. What supporters want to see is what Leicester had in the past: a genuine connection between the players and the fans. At its simplest level, supporters want to see players fighting for the club.

What does that look like? It means not giving up, competing, rolling your sleeves up, fighting for every point and every win. That’s something that’s been missing over the last few seasons. I’ve never known Leicester to feel so disconnected between the players and the supporters. So how do you bring them back together?

 

"You create a style of play that supporters can identify with. High intensity, high energy, tackles, commitment, getting people off their seats. A fast winger, a quick striker, exciting football.

"At times it’s felt too passive. Reconnecting with the fans is the most important thing. Once you get the atmosphere back in the stadium, you can build from there."

The fallout between supporters and the hierarchy has reached boiling point in recent years, with many opting against attending games last season and others deciding against renewing their season tickets - although more than 22,000 were still sold for next season.

 

Huth admits that the toxicity and displeasure towards the ownership is difficult to see, but believes a revival is still possible right now. "Over the last couple of years the atmosphere has become toxic at times," he added.

"There have been banners, protests and marches. It’s not nice to see because I only really know the good times at Leicester — full houses every home game, incredible away support and a great connection between the team and the fans.

 

"There is a way back. The club has done it before. When the Srivaddhanaprabha family took over around 15 years ago, Leicester were in League One then as well. It’s definitely possible, but it won’t be as straightforward as people think. League One will be incredibly difficult.

"Teams will come to Leicester, see the stadium and the facilities, and it will feel like their cup final. They’ll raise their level. Leicester need to understand where they are right now and not underestimate the challenge. There will be ups and downs. They’re not going to win every game.

"But if they can find consistency and build momentum, then who knows? We’ve seen teams do that before. Once momentum starts building, it can carry you a long way."

Clickbait.

Are we talking about the player or AI here 😂 

Despite the obvious frustrations with how long things take at Leicester. I am more than happy with an extended delay if we avoid appointing Martin.

There was probably an NDA in his contract preventing him from revealing too much information. 
 

Becky Vardy seems less reluctant to throw the club under the bus.

I am sure there is a NDA but he revealed nothing at all.

He had the opportunity to speak freely and honestly about the club and owner but chose platitudes, “they’ll be back” bollox and absolute silence about the abject failures he saw unfolding with his own eyes. The GOAT drop the ball sadly.

Rudkin is an administrator, plain and simple. This managerial appointment is all Aiyatwatt. He will never be challenged. I simply refuse to believe it’s anything other than him because the alternative is that other Board members support (rather than just do their Leaders bidding) is incomprehensible. 

This is Aiyatwatt’s decision. Rudkin and now McCarron are carrying out ‘Dear Leaders’ orders. Not the club. This has always been about one little man’s weird obsession. 

I genuinely didn’t believe the rumours about Martin. I stupidly didn’t think this little sh*t stain ruining our beloved club could steep this low. 

This clown’s obsession with possession football while the club burns to the ground. Any normal owner would’ve learned after one disaster, but this donut just keeps repeating the same brainless mistakes over and over again. I say bring on Administration let’s finally be rid of this virus..

An RM appointment has Aiyatwatt written all over it. The little weasel has had a hardon for Brussellball and possession based football for ages. It will be his final indignity when it fails spectacularly in League One.

I questioned it....

 

 

This is so passive aggressive. No acknowledgment or acceptance that the ticketing office has sent out emails in error. A simple “we are sorry for this error, please accept our apologies”. No, a weird response that doesn’t make a whole lot sense except to a club that thrives on chaos and misinformation. Absolute donuts.

Have they sold many tickets?

I think Leicester are in a death spiral. We’re weeks since relegation and we’ve still no idea of what the club’s plans are for next season. No direction, no communication, nothing.

My guess is there’s a lot going on behind closed doors trying to sort out the wage bill. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re desperately trying to negotiate reductions, exits or contract terminations with some of the big earners – Winks, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Skipp and others. Add in the EFL financial rules and spending restrictions and it’s not difficult to figure we are some really deep 💩. Players are not going to accept reductions in their wages.

I remember Dennis Wise and his unpaid wages saga. Wise was an odious little man and at the time it felt like one of the worst periods being a Leicester fan. This has a very different feel to it, much worse and on a much bigger scale. I genuinely fear for the club’s future viability.

King Power out!

Put aside all the bile, rage and hatred I feel towards Toop Aiyatwatt and Dufkin. The real barometer will be on how quickly Toop sets about fixing the club and announcing:

1. The discarding of Gary ‘shameless’ Rowett

2. Installing a progressive, talented and ambitious new manager.

3. Clearingthe decks of this disastrous squad of losers.

4. Communicating a clear strategy on getting the club promoted in one season.

Not holding my breath.

There’s no conspiracy. Thai’s rate loyalty and kindness, Rudkin is happy to be a lapdog. He’s not arrogant, he’s just awkward, quiet and massively incompetent though arguably arrogance in choosing not to stand down of his own accord. But then he’d never get a job this good again. 

Sycophancy is the better word, Rudkin doesn’t have a kind bone in his body.

Managers sacked in the championship, Garry makes it to one win in 13 and sneaks a second win with fck all to play for.

Should be ashamed to tout himself for the job 

Watford Still sacked with 3 wins in 15

Saints Still 2 wins in 13

Mason 9 wins in 26

Struber 14 wins from 38

Ismaël 8 wins from 30

Javi Gracia 8 wins from 20

Alan Sheehan 4 wins from 15

Paulo Pezzolano 3 wins from 9

 

 

 

This. He could up there with the biggest Football Manager Frauds in the English football pyramid. It’s astonishing he has the brass balls to put himself forward. Embarrassing and shameless - just like the ownership.

I know, the KPFCers celebrating like we’d won the league.
Clap and appreciate we’ve scored but jumping up and down like some of them were, is so weird.

Players still strolling around like they're better than they are and that's why we're relegated. Just that. Nothing else.

No point risking an injury before  hitting expensive beach resort.
 

This is the most disgraceful and discredited bunch of players I have ever had the displeasure to watch. Thankfully only 20 minutes  left of the WORSE and most embarrassing season in our proud history.

O’Neil make half time subs and changes the shape and have dominated the second half so far and Rowett…???
