Is Top keeping Rudkin in place purely as a firewall? After all, it'd be *really* embarrassing if your 'influencer' mates heard the fans calling "Top out!" Much less damaging to the ego if Rudkin attracts our ire!

Even if the management and players think the reaction of fans is unreasonable*, they should have the courtesy and cajones to show appreciation for the travelling support. Yes, even those happy clappers! Pathetic and weak not to do so. [*And the reaction was *entirely* reasonable given the abject performance]

You seem very keen that Rudkin should take no accountability for significant sporting decisions? This is BS. His position requires strategic thinking, influence and judgement, but in your charitable reading he's an overpaid patsy?! LOL. Do you know him personally?

While I think you overestimate the strength of the relegated squad, why would they "drastically underperform"? Getting us back on topic, it's a lack of elite mentality. They're a weak (and expensively assembled) bunch. That speaks to ineptitude at all levels. Failing to face the fans illustrates this *perfectly.*

We were relegated, no?

Running up a top 8 wage bill for a crap squad of players wasn't part of a plan, but it was *quite staggeringly* inept, and will likely screw us over for many, many years

Ah, so you're defending players and management, lest it reflects badly on KP? Got it ;-) Sorry, it's a loser mentality. If you doubt it, try looking at that clip of the happy clappers on another thread. What do you see?

Who wants you to "forget about the great times"? If so, why?

It's what it says about the mentality of the players and management that is the problem here. It shows they are weak. Professional sport is like Trial by Fire

Maybe go for "constructive criticism"? Could try the classic "sh1t sandwich" approach? "Vestergaard tried really hard today. It's a shame that so many goals came from his lack of mobility and surprising physical weakness, but he tried very hard."

Hmm. How should supporters react to today's performance, or to this season for that matter?

Weak loser mentality from players, management and happy-clapping fans alike

They are professional sportsman for goodness sake, not fairies

Zero athletic ability. No explosive power: can't burst, turn or jump

Imagine no clappers, no gold. No dodgy pre-season tours. (Well, maybe not that one, eh?!)

Save the "PSR headroom" (yuk). Give whatever we can to the next manager for next summer's rebuild.

Need a puke emoji to react to that

KP OUT. Any credit from the league win was chucked down the drain a long while ago. Charge sheet includes, but is not limited to: - installing themselves front-and-centre in celebrations - including *that* bus - those whiny programme notes - determination to bilk the fanbase at every opportunity, while buying off whoever they can with beer and coconuts - ZERO support for fans groups who want to improve our sterile atmosphere - bizarre lack of recognition for club's pre-KP history at the ground - persecuting fans for imagined and/or exceedingly minor transgressions, sometimes without evidence. This largely seems to target vocal, enthusiastic and younger supporters - all decisions suggest they want to attract a supine, family and tourist-based crowd. Profit takes precedence at every turn - ZERO meaningful, open, two-way communication with fanbase That's before we mention the awful sporting decisions and financial negligence. Why change? This is all *certain* to continue without a change of ownership. And the elephant in the room is this. We are all desperately sad about what happened in the helicopter crash. It's hard to imagine the hurt of losing your closest family in those circumstances. But LCFC remains *our* club. In and of itself, our club (and stadium) is not a memorial. It's to the detriment of our club if KP retain ownership for that unfortunate reason.

Weird take. Look at the poll. (Cooper was proven s**t. Folks seem to be getting to that point with Ruud, the only mitigating factor being that he inherited some of Cooper's crap signings.)

Fans travelled a long way in numbers to see that. Show some respect. Pathetic to suggest otherwise.

That's an interesting comparison. As a thought experiment it's harder than it should be to call the winner! (Never forget that some "fans" were - and remain - anti-Nige. What a curious bunch!)

Close but no cigar. While Grima Wormtongue clearly works for Rudkin, I reckon 'Top' and his Insta-mates are more like Joffrey and courtiers...

On reflection, answer is "keep" until Rudkin isn't around to influence the choice of successor

Picture makes me heave
