Until the accountancy rules are changed to reflect real life, academies are going to be used as a means to generate profit on the balance sheet. I would imagine that if all clubs were to use rules that we do in everyday life, then they would be insolvent. Come to think of it, most businesses would probably be bankrupt if they were to use the " every £ in, every £ out " rule.

Us fans can be a bit irrational at times, personally I've found that a bit of cold turkey is needed when supporting your team, it helps to get rid of the toxins that build up due to how crap we've been for the last few years, thanks to our wonderful board. If you can find something else to put your energy into, then it helps with the breakup! I will always support my team, but I'm just not going to let it screw my weekends up and become a grumpy old git. Many people on here will know someone that has lost someone close recently, or maybe someone you care for is living with an illness/disability. Then things can get put in perspective, it is just a game with 22 people kicking a ball around, or falling over and rolling around as if you've been shot!

Tielemans looks a lot leaner and fitter than when he was with us. He can actually run now, and his look of being knackered and running in sand seems to have disappeared. Just goes to show what a top level coach can do.

Where do we start? Vichai's passing? Covid and then going on to bottle top 4 place, the same happened a year later. Rodgers having too much influence at the club? Lee Congerton's transfers? Rudkin and overpaying of players, or his sanctioning of the already mentioned abysmal transfers? Not selling players and then being persuaded to become a buying club by Rodgers? Keeping Rodgers past his "use by date"? Overpaying Rodgers? Having an irrational transfer and managerial policy. Those at the top believing the players were capable enough to keep us up 2 times and now for the 3rd? Rudkin getting a promotion? Nepo baby not having a clue? Kasper leaving because he was too vocal when he saw standards dropping? Nepo baby listening to the players and not Kasper? I've probably forgotten to add a few, but there having been so many f**k ups at this club, and now we must become the future example of 'how not to run a football club'.

Et voilà you've come up with a counterargument, putting across how you see it, rather than labelling people thick because they see it slightly different to you. I don't disagree with your main point that Laurel & Hardy in charge have screwed our club, but some of us see Rodgers as partly to blame.

People aren't solely blaming Rodgers, it was the start of it. His buys with Lee Congerton were utter dog sh*te, he was also responsible for convincing the clowns upstairs that we needed to stop being a selling club. Hence, one of the reasons why were in this financial mess, players weren't allowed their moves and decided to run down their contracts. So instead of labelling people thick (I suspect you're in that camp), why don't you come up with a counterargument?

Are you rage baiting? Rodgers was the start, look how it started to get toxic at Celtic, MON had to save the day. He's good for a couple of seasons, but don't let him bring his own players in!

Yep he' started this debacle, I don't know who's more at fault him or those that let him get away with him selling snake oil?

I don't blame Rowett, this is on Rudkin and Top, they're the ones who've signed off on the players, created a culture of abject failure and not taken any responsibilty for this s**t show. Once a workplace becomes toxic it is difficult to turn it around, you need someone with a big personality like MON or Pearson to change the culture. Some of these managers/coaches haven't been bad, but they just don't have that quality to change the overall dynamic.

Couldn't agree more, if you keep changing managers, and you get the same result, then it has to be the players/culture at the club including those two charlatans at the top.

As Harold Macmillan once said 'Events, my dear boy, events'. I'm no Nostradamus but with Trump's folly in Iran, and the disruption/cost to aviation fuel, I should imagine King Power are well and truly screwed. No tourism = no income!

This is worse that the Holloway era, we'd been s**t for a long time with championship players when we were relegated. This time it is quicker and more brutal, higher paid players with supposedly premier quality and the threat of insolvency hanging over the clubs head.

Has Rudstein set up a honey trap? No way someone that incompetent keeps his job let alone get promoted!

I don't get why a very few on here want to do something to Vichai's statue or bring nationality into the equation. For one, Vichai had nothing to do with the current events, and we probably could guarantee that this current state of events would not be happening. All it takes is for one idiot to go too far. The protest will not be about how our club has Laurel & Hardy at the helm, but will be about moronic football fans. The media will be waiting for that one slip-up to portray everyone as a bunch of dimwit thugs. Can't wait for Talksport's Jim White over-the-top superlatives and faux indignation, along with Simon "I'll use my word of the week 20 times in every conversation" Jordan!
