Who is 'we' and 'our', the crack elite executive team that put us in this position?

I not sure we are tbh. We haven't actually got any good players, let alone ones that have been stolen! One of the long list of things our elite football department is shit at.

I don't know, there are elements that are broken even if we were successful. There definitely needs to be something performance related built into all contracts. Players can not just get long term reward for utterly disgusting performances over a sustained period, there is no other job on earth where you can do that.

So nothing changes. You can not rebuild, improve and restore with the same idiots in position. Until he deals with the incompetence this will not end.

Darren Moore is the Marti Cifuentes of League 1

Why would anyone in a job come here?

Tbh I don’t think we want some of them to stay but it might mean shifting the deadwood is enough, and some could be part of a rebuild. We still have to be conscious of losses as PSR applies over a 3 year period if we go back up.

That’s what I’m thinking, we haven’t signed a new player in about 2 years anyway! Means we HAVE to get promoted next year but it’s more feasible to do an all or bust attempt if the club have the sense.

In reading the above that only really happens if Top either runs out of money or stops putting anything in. He’s probably going to have to invest something. Looking at the above information players signed before I assume October 25 on a more than 3 year deal ARENT included in the SCMP calculations, that means any players we can’t shifts wages aren’t included for the first year to ease championship clubs into league 1. It actually seems more logical version of PSR.

I think it probably would have helped to have got some defenders who can defend too. Even if we had kept the lead in a few games, or drew a few more instead of losing it makes a big difference. Games like Wrexham at home, Portsmouth at home, Boro away, Stoke away, Ipswich away.

This isn’t the lowest if these clowns continue on the same path! Probably not, I’m not sure if this lot have it in them. They played for about 20 minutes Tuesday when it was clear is was too late, why not do that in the previous 6 games? Even if they beat Hull, they’d still have gone down. They have had plenty of chances to perform, there’s been so many games this year I’ve tried to start positively and get behind them, only to be let down by pathetic shoulder shrugs and pointing when they concede another identical goal from a innocuous set piece!

Everyone should take a piece of paper with NOTHING CHANGES UNTIL SOMETHING CHANGES! RUDKIN OUT!

He must have absolutely no self awareness of dignity. Like as you say firstly if I was so shit at my job the people in the area I lived began to hate me I’d ask my self questions about my capabilities, along with quite obvious failings like say losing the company about a billion quid. Then there is if my family were ever threatened wherever they were I’d be gone like a shot. One of my mates did exactly this, in a well paid job in Durban, wife and less car jacked, he was on the first plane back to the UK!

Honestly though, both these 2 have more credibility in League 1. The club in its current form is going to go for another complete no mark like Cifuentes, never achieved anything anywhere ever. We are shopping in a different manager basket. A year ago I would agree on Martin but he’s done a job in this division before. We aren’t going to be getting a top manager, one because we can’t afford it and 2 because that’s not the way King Powers football operations team works, it will be another bloke who watched the premier league once, plays tippy tappy and who maybe went near Barcelona at some point in the case of Cifuentes.

Rowett has been shit but this backing of Marti is bizarre. Oxford were not in form when we played them, if anything we gave them momentum. So many times we’ve rolled for utter dross this year. It’s all been rubbish and Cifuentes as manager for 2/3rds of the season and the guy who built the style, the fitness, work ethic and the culture is primarily responsible for this shit show. Rowett did not have the skill to turn it around. Neither of these managers should have ever been here, out of their depth.

He could so easily instantly create a better feeling at the club by sacking Rudkin before tomorrow’s game. Do that and bring in proper football people.

I’m genuinely interested to see what people are backing and supporting? I am all for backing or supporting but the players, the team have to give ‘something’, effort is the bare minimum. When I see people like Mavididi absolutely stealing a living and the defence conceding another set piece with zonal marking, shrugging their shoulders and pointing at each other, or another kamikaze session of playing out from the back. I struggle with blind faith with absolutely nothing in return. I think everyone should be able to acknowledge these players have let us down as fans. I could get the clapping if the team was lacking in quality and went down fighting, but they have literally waved the white flag and rolled over., If I am honest I’d love to see something that gets me excited, some players fighting for the badge, maybe some players who don’t think they are superior to me. Maybe a team with that identity instead of a team full of feckless mercenaries brings people back together?

Found some interesting information on the FFP in League 1 from Cardiff City: Financial restrictions in League One At our AGM on June 19th, I briefly mentioned the different EFL financial restrictions which our club will have to abide by in League 1. So I hope you find this more detailed note useful to understand how different it will be from the restrictions on Championship clubs which applied to us last season. In the Championship club annual losses are restricted to an average of £13m a financial year (provided £8m of this is covered by non-refundable cash injections into the club by its owners) over a three year period. Some adjustments are allowed to the reported loss figure by things like spending on youth and stadium development but this is the “base” figure.Any breach of these limits can lead to transfer embargos or points deductions. In League 1 and League 2 these profitability restrictions don’t apply. Instead the restriction is based on player wage costs under what is known as Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP). League 1 club total player wages costs must not exceed 60% of turnover (55% in League 2). There is no restriction on transfer fees paid, just on wages. Compliance with the above rules is closely and regularly monitored by the EFL based on projections submitted by the club and if a club looks like it is heading for a breach, then a transfer embargo will be applied until a club becomes compliant again. The definitions of turnover and player wages are important in the above calculation Turnover would normally just include match day income, commercial sponsorship and TV revenue. It can also include profits from hospitality events as many clubs use their stadium facilities far more often than on match days. However in League 1 turnover is also allowed to include cash injected by the club owner by way of new non-refundable share capital ( i.e not loans).So an owner can greatly increase the allowable limits of player wages by this method Turnover also will include any profit on player sales, but only when the cash from those sales is actually received – many deals tend to be done on an instalment basis to ease cash flows The wage cost for players loaned out in the season are excluded from the calculation for the period in which they are loaned out. An exclusion from wage costs also applies to players on a professional contract who are under 21 at the start of a season who have come through the club`s youth development scheme and have been with the club for three years or more. Cardiff City also have another potential favourable interim wage adjustment as a club that has just been relegated from the Championship. If a player was signed before September 2024 on a contract of over three years then their wage is also excluded. This exception is aimed at protecting relegated clubs from committed longer term contracts entered into before their relegation. I must be honest here and haven’t checked to what extent this will benefit our club, if at all, I hope this note is useful to understand where we stand as a club on this important issue for next season. Any questions, please raise through the usual Trust channels

To be honest, in the Market we are now in it might be a good opportunity for a manager to build something, and maybe someone like Gerrard could work at this level and build some momentum, rebuilding for both reputations. It’s a risky one. If they go for some league 1 clogger like Darren Moore god help us. Probably if he fancied a rebuild job, Martin would be horrendous at this level or trying to re establish in the championship. We are in a different place now.

The wet wipes are insufferable. Honestly how can you blindly back ‘the lads’ some of these players this season have basically done the equivalent of taking a shit and a piss on our badge and those absolute morons just stand by and ‘back it’, I do wonder about the citizens of Leicester sometimes. It actually makes me want to really shake some of them.

None of those wet wipes will be making any noise anyway, except for the turn of a flash lid and a pop as the prawn sarnie opens. Insufferable bell ends, good an boo as loud as you can, let these weirdos know what we think.

Come and make it more toxic, we need everyone to drown out the happy clappers and stand up to any red faced happy clappers saying’back the lads’ and starting fights

Boycott is a silly idea now go and boooooooooooooooooooo shout willy puller etc

This, those that stay away now are as bad as the happy clappers, get there make it toxic

Do the parachute payments still class as turnover for this year, even though they go straight on the loans? The PSR in league 1 seems to be totally different. Its 60% of turnover on playing costs and 60% of investment on playing costs. Not that he would be in theory an owner could pump in 100 million, 60 million of that could be spent on playing costs from what I can tell? unless I am reading it wrong. Whether anyone has that or would be willing to put that in is a different matter. There is also no restriction on investment in infrastructure from what I can tell. It largely depends on how you can classify things, id imagine aspects of seagrave and the stadium can be classified as infrastructure spending. In reality selling it makes no sense, to anyone else but another football club its a golf course, that already closed being a golf course. The club could look to diversify it, rent bits out, even rent rooms to opponents travelling the night before etc for income. Not that they will but as above, they need to consider running the club more astutely, its simplistic to think higher prices mean more income, actually along with other measures, reducing ticket prices etc could lead to more turnover, as now idiots wont just pay whatever the price will disappear as League 1 football is not for day trippers, they need to try and rebuild links with fans. Instead they will double down on their 'philosophy' whatever it is.
