He never wrote a word of that, probably had final sign off after one of his higher-ups edited the comms director’s first draft. Just the same old were in this together tripe that most CEOs across any organisation trot out when things go to shit. Actions speak louder than words Top and those accountable for our omnishambles of a financial situation remain unscathed and earning a fortune. Deal with that and you grow in esteem far more than this predictable story.

Mads Riccy Coady Vestergaard Doyle Winks KDH Yunus Mavididi Cannon McAteer subs Stolarczyk, JJ, Nelson, Ndidi Praet, Iheanacho, Vards, Albrighton, Fatawu lots of negativity about McAteer but when we were winning games earlier in the season he was in the team most weeks, can’t do worse than Fatawu has this last month. Bin off Faes and Daka completely, waste of space both of them.

If we lose our next two, there’s a chance we go into the Preston away game as follows-: Leeds 44 - 90pts Saints 44 - 90pts Ipswich 43 - 89pts Leicester 44 - 88pts Leeds and Saints against teams not quite safe, Ipswich against a team potentially still in play off contention. Unbelievable for the neutral watching this play out.

Shame you’re not as good at sticking to your word than your moronic idea Enzo - there’s a lot more than doubt about your idea - you’re a busted flush. Off you pop lad, after all you promised you would.

It’s going to be utterly brutal when we stay down in the championship. Fire sale of all fire sales needs to happen in the summer to avoid a cycle of 2 or 3 years of points deductions by the EFL who will be absolutely out to ruin us after we’ve exposed them twice as clueless. Problem is there’s no chance of us selling some of the players we need to sell most of all because of their book value. We’ll need to try to cash in on KDH and Iversen as quickly as we can, than onto Ricardo, JJ, Hermansen and Faes we could probably achieve some sort of book profit on. We might get just enough for Winks to not make a PSR loss and get his wages out the door too. Just really hope nobody comes in for Nelson as we wouldn’t be able to turn down pure profit for him. Daka, Soumaré, Kristiensen, Coady, best we can hope for is a loan out the club early in the window. Try and get Ward off to Wrexham too Every player out of contract will need to be out the door bar Thomas who we’ll take the option up on and hopefully realise a profit at some point in the next 12 months. At least we won’t be saddled with the fees for Yunus or Fatawu. All this will see us under the 24 player squad that EFL rules stage we need so then it’ll be acquiring free transfers and kids on loan or released by prem top 6 Most important of all, Enzo needs to walk away as soon as the season is done so we can get a manager in who can achieve more with less - got to say someone like Steve Cooper would be the guy if he’s not been snapped up by then given he’s going to have to work with a load of young players and the next two years are going to be anything other than easy. could see team starting next season look something a bit like this. Stolarcyzk, Loan RB, Nelson Souttar, Thomas, Braybrooke, Loan CM, Mavididi, Alves, RW, Cannon.

FFS Daka again.
-
Agree - but Enzo so fixed on his approach that Choudhury is the only other player who he’ll put in as inverted fullback barring injury to both him and Ricardo, and he won’t play a formation without one.

This mob are the absolute definition of complacency - we could all see a massive fall off was happening 18 months ago, yet they still admit to budgeting in accordance with being towards the top third of the premier league table for last season. Staggering incompetence on display and the narrative accompanying the report prepared by Whelan’s spin doctors is disgusting in its arrogance. They also know we can’t protest on a large scale basis in the ground without them coming out and blaming fans for not supporting the team when needed. Rudkin, Whelan, and by failing to act Top have mismanaged OUR club to a level arguably never seen before given the amount of revenue we make. Utter shame on them. The supporters - and club staff who earn a fraction of this load of incompetent leaders - will feel the effects of their contempt for common sense and the rules they agreed to for years and years to come. Rotten to the core, Leicester City Football Club’s leadership.

Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'

Yep probably closer to 65/70m PSR? -
Doyle’s left foot was a big difference today. 5 or 6 very well found passes out to Abdul

Would snap your hand off for 2nd right now. Hugely important to avoiding absolute financial armageddon which will hurt us for years and years to come. From the outside in I imagine we come over as the worst entitled supporters going, but from the outside perspective you don’t see the slow slow horrow show playing out and quite what we’ve managed to piss away.
-
Would think any changes will be limited to Ricardo for Choudhury, Doyle for Justin (making defence even slower) and Daka for Vardy.
-
Lost the last two at home being carved open by quick forward players on the break with our defence caught hopelessly out of position … hmmmmm
-
Was a lot like this last year with the bookies, back then we were odds against promotion for a ridiculous amount of the season. No idea why but bookies seem to trust us a lot more than we do. See odds against Norwich for a perfect example. Just don’t get it.
-
Was thinking the same - quick search uncovered this post, remarkably similar 🤣 - would be great if the next 10 years resembled what happened after this! “Given how we played today and to be honest for most of the last 10 games or so, id say it was impossible now, simly not good enough end of story, couldn't care less if pearson stays or goes, but obviously he can't teach the players how to beat the 1st man from free kicks or corners”

Leicester 'could face points deduction next season'
Cropwellfox replied to ClaphamFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
Really strong summary of where we are at. Wouldn’t be overly hyperbolic to say the next couple of months are existentially important for the club - in so far as the next few years and how far we may fall down the pyramid are concerned at least. In that situation one thing you need is to be able to trust the leaders, pull together and dig in. Sadly it doesn’t look like the players are doing so at all, and the majority of the fans are more and more passive bystanders as the ship starts to list. -
The critical mass of the fan base won’t turn until it’s far far too late and we are adrift at the bottom of the champ next season below Derby and Posh. Even then it’ll just be polite grumbling. Heart has been completely ripped out this club, from the owners through the squad to the stands.

Bristol City 1 - 0 LCFC Post Match Thread
Cropwellfox replied to KingsX's topic in Leicester City Forum
More likely they can’t be arsed, just like their performance on the pitch yesterday. -
Even when we were winning, with a couple of exceptions I didn’t actually think we were playing that well, and with the exception of Saints away when they were absolutely dire, our points return against top 7/8 teams has been pretty average at best. Not a chance we turn this slump around with this style of play and news of financial meltdown about to break.
-
I’d almost love this to happen just so we can resurrect the Blame Wellens threads 🤣
-
Just like last season we’ve been heading this way in slow motion for months now. Whatever happens this season, with the financial disaster we are in as we go forward we need a coach who can get the most out of limited resources, and therefore will need to be flexible and adaptable. Never been clearer Enzo isn’t that manager, so his time needs to be done. Problem is all of a sudden it looks like he’s not going to get us over the line this season either, and our board don’t have the wherewithal to act quickly, rather investing in blind hope which has served us really well over the past couple of seasons.
-
Was as high as 28/1 😬😬😬 just shows how much we’ve imploded. Oh those odds bookies couldn’t have been far from paying out on us
-
Hahah good work. Not overly proud but saw it coming and lumped on at 25/1 🤣
