No that's shite I'm afraid, the running of the club is ****ing terrible, but if you think Marti couldn't be doing any better than ****ing hell

Cooper and RVN were equally as bad.

Maybe even worse, as they had a better squad to work with.

The strategy of "trusting the kids" is really bringing results, though..

Just keep on with Marti then

He's a symptom not the cause.

Not his fault Hermansen, Justin, Ndidi, McAteer and El-Khannouss were all moved on after he arrived.

Nor that he was given a transfer budget of precisely zero pounds with which to replace them.

Okay let's keep the manager who's seen us keep a handful of clean sheets this season, you're living in a dream world if you think any other manager doesn't come in and immediately just make us harder to beat

I live in a world where Jon Rudkin somehow wormed his way up into a position of "director of football" at a professional football club.

He's shown THREE times in the past 18 months or so he doesn't have a clue on how to pick a manager.

So there's every chance MC's successor could be worse, not better.

Press Release

Oh, so THAT's why they were hammered 5-1 by Toulouse tonight..

All very well building a scaffold for this "manager".

But he, like Cooper and RVN before him, are symptoms of the club's malaise rather than the cause.

Until and unless our absentee owner has the sense to realise he and the club are being bled dry by a parasitical, inadequate "director of football", our decline will continue.

But Jon Rufkin is given a free pass by way too much of our fan base - even on here - because many see him as "one of our own".

The reason we have Thomas as our main LB is because our manager decides to make him our main LB.  That decision is on the manager. We have other choices, as you well know.  I imagine playing Aluko would pay dividends if he were trusted with a brief run of matches to get up to the level.

This the same Aluko who didn't even last half an hour on his debut?

Lot of anger about this result, and rightly so, but the fault lies with a hierarchy who gutted the squad in the summer and thought (wrongly) that kids could step up to replace them.

Still waiting for evidence that ANY of Jon Rudkin's academy products are good enough to wear the shirt.

I do remember people pulling themselves off over Wout initially to be fair

 

The loss of Fofana did some mad shit to people

Too right. 

Remember folk in our fan base (and not that old either) wanting him dead for the "crime" of seeking a move to a bigger club.

All because certain people (hi Rudkin) weren't honest enough to tell us we were in deep financial doo-doo and desperately needed that move to happen.

It can't be said often enough.

Cifuentes is a symptom, not a cause of the current malaise at City.

If we had the same squad now that we had when he arrived, we'd be comfortably in the Championship top six.

Instead, Rudkin flogged a shedload of players and hoped the academy lads, plus a couple of loanees, would be able to cover the shortfall.

Except, Jordan James apart, they're not.

As a result, Seagrave has become even more toxic, because senior players know neither the squad or manager are good enough to achieve promotion.

So the likes of Winks, Soumaré and Faes - three of the highest paid players in this league - sit idle for months.

As both Ruben Amorim and Enzo Maresca have found in recent days, creating a "bomb squad" at a club brings dire consequences, especially when overseen by directors of football installed or promoted way beyond their ability.

TL:DR Sacking Cifuentes to bring in yet ANOTHER dud (the fourth in a row) would be a monumental waste of time, money and effort.

Whatever side Cifuentes picks, let's hope he treats the Cup far more seriously than he did last season.

Neither he nor (far more importantly) the club can afford defeat in this game.

No coincidence that Mavididi looks like a league one player on the same spot 

The same Mavididi that set up our winner?

Forest will win comfortably. West Ham look genuinely worse than we did last season in the Premier League. 

They do, but still somehow won 3-0 at the swamp earlier in the season.

Hope the hammers can pull off a similar result this time around.

Need to get enough points to avoid relegation after incoming points deduction 

And write season off 

 

Hopefully will have a new manager next season 🙏 

Yet another Rudkin puppet?

Is that REALLY something to look forward to?

Especially as we'll probably be gazumped for James and Fatawu will be flogged to the highest bidder after the World Cup.

Then we'll REALLY have a team to whinge about, especially as NONE of Rudkin's academy kids are really all that..

I am trying to think of a worse leicester performance where we have actually won. Any help greatly appreciated! 

Charlton away comes to mind. The same two players saved us then too!

Is a prerequisite for KPFC supporters to have a minimal grasp of basic spelling and grammar? Every single social media post I see is an absolute nightmare.

 

There are quite a few folk on here who wouldn't be guaranteed to pass Key Stage 1..

Plenty of other issues to challenge the happy-clappies on..

These people amaze me.

 

How could anyone get the impression that Aiyawatt gives a ****? He's never here.

Still been covering the club's heavy losses in recent times, when other owners might have looked to pull the plug.

Though he could have made more effort to enquire how such losses were incurred in the first place..

It also blows my mind.

 

The tifos. The work they do for the Leicester community and charity as well.

Ermm.. Aiyawatt and King Power do that too - and have done so ever since they took over the club, fifteen years ago.

That's part of the reason why the majority of our fanbase still give them the benefit of the doubt.

Regarding the incident last night, the individual/group attacked need to put in a formal complaint to the club - with copies being sent to local media.

Herlihy and co. have occupied the moral high ground ever since the episode at Norwich last month (for which UFS, unfairly or otherwise, are currently being blamed).

Fans need to act to reclaim this territory, otherwise Rudkin and Herlihy will stay in their posts for life.🤮

I understand where you’re coming from, but it very much underestimates the threat of not existing anymore, which is my point.

 

Yes we were pushing top four but even under MON we were still top 10 when only two teams went into the Champs League.

 

Again, yes, there wasn’t the worries off the pitch when they were playing for us, but we also had two playing for us for free we were so hard up and facing the wall.

But at that time we were also getting regular 30k+ crowds for the first time in decades. That gave us an advantage over the rest of the league.

Thousands have walked away from the club in recent months.

Doubt many of them will return while Aiyawatt and Rudkin remain in charge..

Didn’t like the ironic cheering for a lad from the academy regardless of how shit he was today. 

An academy that's been run or overseen by Jon Rudkin for 30+ years.

It's therefore no surprise that it turns out to be in the same abject state as the rest of this rotten, decaying shell of a club.

Are there any other clubs in world football that have a similar weird cult around the ownership that we do? I certainly can't think of any others where a sizeable portion of the fanbase considers worshipping the owner to be a necessary component of supporting the club.

There's a gangster-owned club around 20 miles north of Leicester for starters..

Despite everything, would anyone seriously swap Aiyawatt for Marinakis?

40 minutes ago, filbertway said:

Well hes not. Hes playing the youngster. 

Any othera are lucky if they make the squad of about 20

Two youngsters - Monga and Silko Thomas.

Both are currently at a level we should expect from an academy overseen by Jon Rudkin.

We've been fed the myth for months that Seagrave has a pool of emerging talent ready to take the Championship by storm.

But the reality, as we're finding out game by game, is somewhat different.

Given we've lost NINE players since the end of last season from a squad already short on quality and depth, this is a serious issue.

Raging at Cifuentes and making him the latest fall guy won't drive the current malaise away from the club.

Only the removal of Rudkin can do that.

That particular card has long passed its sell-by date, despite what politicians and so-called journalists may tell you.

The Maccabi fans have been banned for their actions, not their ethnic status.

Saved the club from oblivion, employed Pearson. Doesn't get much better than that.

Well actually, it could and it did - as MON proved previously and Ranieri, Rodgers and others have done since.

No mention on here about how Mandaric also drove "St Nigel" away - to Hull, of all places.. 

Or how he led us to our first (and hopefully only) descent to the third tier - despite having the Championship's biggest transfer budget that season.

Or of how only an acting masterclass by Harry Redknapp from the dock saved him and Mandaric from doing time for dodging taxes.

Some may cling to the myth that he was Leicester City's "saviour".

Others will continue to see him as a pound shop Marinakis.

Squeaked home in the end, despite a dismal final day.

The yanks had chances to win EVERY singles game on the course, even the Åberg one.

But the lead Europe built-up on the first two days proved to be enough.

And given the toxic atmosphere, and the fact we entered the contest as heavy underdogs, the victory is still especially sweet.
