  1. Initial reaction to England squad was a bit of shock, as time goes on I feel there is a bit of logic to it and could give us the required depth and versatility 🤔

    In reality though, aren’t we better all just supporting our local non league club? 
     

    A Step 6 club needs between £80k a £250k. 
     

    Would we not be better off supporting the growth of Loughborough, Shepshed, Hinckley, Harborough, Melton, Quorn, Heather etc 

     

    If we are back in at Step 6, we may as rebrand it groud share with the likes of Aylestone Park if we are looking at being in the City.

     

    I think if the club folded tomorrow, you’d find most of our fan base choosing a Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal etc 

    I understand your stand point but as some have said, there can be connections and relevance to Leicester City as a phoenix club. Personally, I believe it’s a little too soon to be considering - it isn’t a knee jerk reaction to dropping into League One, it’s the disconnection fans feels from the club they grew up supporting and loving. We’ve lost the underdog, family ran club and seem to be selling our soul to dodgy marketing sponsorships, dismissing fans, failing to recognise and reward our history/players and ultimately have an owner who is running it into the ground with no understanding or respect to any one with the dangers it is becoming. If things don’t get better this season then a conversation to set something up should seriously be had which protects the clubs values and always provides the fans with a voice as to how the club is ran

     

    £250k for a step 6 side is well off the mark, £80k is a possible figure but a lot ultimately depends on what you are willing to pay out as a club on players

     

    There is a chance a percentage of the fan base could remain with Leicester or just move on picking a new team. I think it’s ultimately set up to find a reconnection to the club that you feel has been lost and be apart of building a club that you have a common connection with the rest of the fan base looking to continue the ‘Leicester City banner’ the way the club should be ran

    Reality is we are going to need:

     

    Stadium - Where are we playing? 

    Finance - How are we being funded? 


    Supporters - Would we have a fan base outside of Foxestalk that care? 

     

    FA connections - To even get us in at a decent level in the football league.

     

    If we are in at National League North / South, we are going to need around £2.5m per season. I don’t have that down the back of the sofa to splurge on a pipe dream team.

    Stadium -

    There is a few grounds floating around or even like some clubs maybe be open to the idea of ground sharing etc. Personally think it needs to remain within the city boundaries to maintain its roots 

     

    Finances - 

    I think you are potentially looking at around £30k to run a side mainly of overheads as a minimum. Obviously sponsorships, supporters backing etc can help a lot of that 

     

    Supporters - 

    Obviously the more the better when it comes to hopefully seeing quicker success. Personally believe an incentive like the 50 +1 rule like in the German Leagues could be an option to get some backing and fans bought into the project. Majority of Non-League clubs struggle to get 50 supporters through the door - even anywhere between 100-300 as a starting point would be a great position 

     

    Connections - 

    Always helpful but not essential, as a project builds connections are always made. Im sure there would be a few with non league experience and connections that would be interested to be apart of building a new club 

     

    NLN/NLS - 

    It’s likely that the club will need to begin in step 6 so this sort of conversation is a lot further down the line. A lot of requirements are still needed from ground regulations and a solid proposal to get the club entered in to step 6 as starters too

    well surely that starts for next season by not renewing etc - might as well use this final opportunity to make things vocal and hostile 

    Thankfully stopped my season tickets last season, people cannot support the club and pay for another season ticket in this division 

     

    I heard the excuses of, got with my dad, tradition etc 

     

    There will no longer be any tradition unless people are willing to stand up to this. Worst case, pick the odd games to attend if you really must - there should be plenty of tickets going spare next season

  5. Early signs looked promising, there seems to be a bit more aggression, structure and game management so I would say that getting him in was a positive 

     

    1. The club was too long finding a replacement for some important fixtures 

    2. We were building up some momentum until the club decided to invite Enzo and his staff down

     

    That being said, after then is on Rowett and we’ve simply not been good enough. Nobody can manage this group of players under an absolute circus of a club

    It'll end up as a Center Parcs or David Lloyd Leisure at this rate

    I’ll be surprised if we’d find a buyer 🤷‍♂️

     

    What businesses are out there that can pay £100m for a football complex to then also begin to have to also work on it too in a place on the outskirts of Leicester with very little going on around it. If it does go it gets sold for a massively reduced fee (£20-30m max) which would be awful business on our part 

     

    Our best option at redeeming some sort of financial recoup would be selling it to Forest 🙃 which if that’s the case, I feel thats game over for the club

    I've heard people suggesting that either we should or we'll have to sell Seagrave. Surely selling Belvoir Drive would be easier? 

    Seagrave is also running at about 3x the amount of what Belvoir Drive costs too, which when your in League 1 and no money, you take the cost effective option not the prettiest 

  8. Financially you have got to drown them out. Maybe when Relegation is confirmed, there may be a few more fans that begin to turn on KP - majority of fans just follow along with the popular opinion/not against change 

     

    Dont pay for season tickets, matchday tickets (including offers), merchandise etc. This is a business and until KP realise the money isn’t there then their hands will become forced 

  9. Firstly im pretty sure he doesn’t have badges which would then cost the club per game / which we can’t afford 🤣

     

    Secondly, the more that is coming out - the players who played under our greatest success have been forgotten by the club, Top knows the only reason we won the league was single handily down to Rudkin. 
     

    Sentimental idea that fans could get behind but we’ve got more of a chance seeing Rudkin in the dugout, maybe it’s the only way we can get rid of him - if so then im fully behind the idea 

  10. As long as there is a game of football on, I don’t think some of the fan base care. The club is dead, I feel no connection to it at the moment and change is desperately needed. If the fans can’t unite on a decision for change then we have no hope

  11. Doesn’t matter who you put in charge, club is a mess 

     

    Players are poor, Culture is horrendous, too late too make an appointment who can help save a sinking ship whilst trying to do it with no CF
