Top is clueless about football and about running a business. That's not new news. What he has done is show a commitment towards address the criticisms of his regime by: 1) Revamping the technical structure at the club. 2) Moving Rudkin further away from the decision-making centre. 3) Be more open with his communication with fans. Whether he can execute points 1 & 2 well enough is highly doubtful of course but there is a glimmer of hope that he is listening to us. My firm wish is that he sells up but it sounds like we are a way off that yet.

Thanks. That seems a really low number which needs seriously bumping up if the Trust are able to put real pressure on the club.

I understand that. It would ultimately accelerate the end goal which is to secure new ownership. Sacking Cifuentes was bad in sofar as the pressure was building. If a manager comes in and starts to win games, the anti-KP sentiment inevitably fades away.

What is the current membership number and how does that compare wuth our main rivals and other clubs of our size? Also, is the reform of the Supporters Club next?!

Brilliant result for progress. Hopefully the pressure begins to ramp up against the inept fuchers in charge.

The joy that we have sacked Jifuentes is short-lived as the same idiots will be choosing his successor.

It was just beyond stupid that they allowed James to carry on playing for 20 mins with a suspected hamstring strain. Players never run off soft tissue injuries in that area. Conceivable that 20 mins has added 2 games to the number he will miss. Everybody at the club is suffering with the inability to make good decisions.

We are in a worst position than when they took over. That can't now be doubted. We are haemorrhage money, we have an impending points deduction, we have a playing squad that is both grossly overpaid and is toxic in nature. We have a manager who can't get said players organised or sufficiently motivated. Fans are divided. We have a Call Centre Manager as CEO, we have a DoF who fell in to the job at the luckiest time but cannot actually do the job. If all that wasn't bad enough, we have an owner who doesn't have any business acumen, doesn't appear to have much interest in football and it would appear that the only reason he still owns the club is because the stadium has turned into his father's memorial site.

Our resident numpties can't even think in the box - nevermind outside it.

As well as Coady who I'm sure was on £75k a week and hardly played. Ridiculous contract management which shows how outnof touch they are. I'm sure allotment contracts given out in last 5-7 years have been in relation to Vardy's 125k. You can imagine Winks' agent saying 'Vardy's on 125k so Harry should be on 35% less than that as he has played in a CL final.' With Rudkin thinking he has played a blinder.

To all the KPFC Loyals, TopRud sympathisers or Thai influencers, let's get this straight: there is nobody left at the club responsible for any of the success achieved. Those left are those who happened to be there at the time and are claiming success by association only. Your loyalty is to a duty free brand, the nation of Thailand, or to people and philosophies long, long gone. Those left have no idea how to run a football club. Sorry but that's the truth. Happy new year.

There is a lack of quality and a lack of quality coaching but there was no lack of effort tonight. Most of us want King Power out but we don't want to go down to League 1. Let's scrap and get enough points to stay up.

When the leader of any business doesn't have a vision, doesn't have a plan, doesn't unvest his time, and will not hold anybody in his organisation accountable for poor performance (except managers now and again), then there is no limit to how bad things will get.

The club is a joke. Manager, DOF, owner, Chief Exec. Absolutely rotten from top down. You can sack whoever but no progress here until these incompetent feckers sell up.

I totally understand. I have friends who think Top/KP/Crudkin/ have a lifetime immunity because of the success achieved. There is this feeling that they we are too polite to complain, that we should be grateful for the trophies, the memories, the doughnuts. It's very sad.

It's a shame that the Project Reset protest was a flash in the pan. It was successful in so far as gaining media traction and putting pressure on the board. I see that after Wolves fan's protests recently their Executive Chairman Jeff Shi stepped down. It does work.

Let's be honest, even if we replaced him and had an uptick in form, aren't we just papering over the cracks of what must be the worst football ownership model in England? There is just no way back for Top and we won't be able to move forward until the club is sold.

An absolute mystery why they are struggling to play staff wages.

Rather than blaming a player for missing a penalty, I would rather blame the relegation on the manager who simply gave up around Feb time and those above him who didn't act to replace him.

A couple of wins and this thread goes quiet. These must be one of the worst owners in the country.

That's all really positive. And with defensive cover returning it opens the door for the Belgian toilet brush to move on in Jan.

King Power/Top/Rudkin have missed a once in a generation chance to establish us as a top 6 team by squandering millions and millions on shite and then paying them well over market value in wages. This financial mismanagement has ended up with the club being handicapped operationally and with an incoming points deduction. Some fans think we should be chill about it though.

Lets say King Power era. As a newly promoted club, Skipp was our statement signing - along with Bilal. A big chunk of our budget went on him and he wasn't good enough to start games. We got relegated. That makes him a bad signing. When you add in the 5 year of financial commitment which has contributed to PSR breaches, it is not comparable in any way to the bottom 5 names on hour list. The top 3 absolutely are/were terrible signings.

So the club couldn't have told us that? "The hearing has concluded and we have made a strong case to have the charges overturned. We will update our loyal supporters further when a verdict is reached." Communications to fans isn't so much about giving us information but more letting us know they haven't forgotten us. That they care.

Maybe when the hearing is taking place? Or have i missed that?
