You have to ask whether it ever existed at LCFC maybe we were all distracted by the success and did not notice or care if there were any dubious shenanigans going on as it did not directly affect us. Now they took their eye off the field and allowed us to be relegated they're having to resort to fleecing the fans and more publicly noticeable money schemes.

Hmmm - He needs to talk quickly to those who dreamt up the £25/St Card, the Match Day price increases, the Shirt sponsorship all seem as far removed from 'all as one' club mentality as yo can get to me. Previous Leicester managers such as Maresca and Claude Puel also never established much of a rapport with fans. Yet Cooper is big on communication and an “all as one” club mentality. With the threat of a points deduction, togetherness will be crucial.

I doubt Rudkin has anything to do with the commercial side of the club.

https://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-now-looking-signing-2-benfica-players-southampton-picture-one/ Leicester City and Southampton are in the picture to sign Benfica’s Tiago Gouveia this summer, according to O Jogo. Benfica manager Roger Schmidt used the winger mainly as a substitute as he clocked in 771 minutes from 28 games last season, managing four goals and four assists. That hasn’t put off Leicester and Southampton, as these two clubs have set their sights on signing the 23-year-old. Gouveia’s deal lasts until 2028 and is valued at €5m by Transfermarkt. There’s no mention of the Portuguese club’s request to sell him.

Well we lucked our way through that.

One shot on target one goal

I hate them mostly because so many teams were wearing variations of them. You'd expect National Teams to have a uniqueness to them.

Yeah well obviously it can happen but my experience stands and has happened again.

Graham Hulme Level 1 contributor · 2 d · An old colourised postcard view of Granby Street, early 1900s. The tower of the Grand Hotel can be faintly seen in the distance. The Britannia works and the Temperance Hall (later a cinema) are just seen on the extreme left.

Takes more time on my phone and the result is not great they also end up om my phone/pc

They don't want to give people the idea they might get in one day.

Not sure why they disappear I've tried copying image and image address but seemingly makes no difference. Maybe something to do with Facebook.

Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow 5 d · ELIZABETH HEYRICK Elizabeth Heyrick of Leicester (née Coltman; 4 December 1769 – 18 October 1831) was an English philanthropist and campaigner against the slave trade. Her father John Coltman had been a manufacturer of worsted cloth and a Unitarian, her mother Elizabeth Cartwright a poet and writer. As a young woman, Elizabeth was exposed to radical politics and the writings of Thomas Paine, and showed a natural ability for painting landscapes. She met John Wesley when he visited the family house and soon after became a practicing Methodist. She became a schoolteacher and, in 1787 married John Heyrick, a lawyer and a descendant of Robert Herrick the poet. After his death whilst she was still in her mid-twenties, she became a Quaker, soon after devoting her life to social reform. Their Leicester home was a spacious house by Bow Bridge, and despite her family’s objections she successfully founded her own school at the house, becoming self-sufficient. She became one of the most prominent radical women activists of the 1820s. In 1823, the Anti-Slavery Society was founded of which she was a member. In the early 19th century, the prominent leaders of the anti-slavery movement, William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson, believed that when the slave trade was abolished in 1808, slavery itself would gradually die out. So slavery itself was allowed to continue in the British West Indies and elsewhere in the British Empire after the abolition of the slave trade. Campaigners such as Heyrick wanted complete and immediate abolition of the institution of slavery. A decade after the abolition of the trade, it was obvious that slavery itself would not gradually die out, and that Heyrick's view was the more accurate one. A strong supporter of complete emancipation, notably for enslaved Africans, she decided to take on the leaders of the abolitionist movement. In 1823 or 1824, Heyrick published a pamphlet entitled "Immediate, not Gradual Abolition", where she criticised leading anti-slavery campaigners, such as Wilberforce, for their "gradualist" approach, and for focusing too much of their energy on the slave trade itself. In her pamphlet, Heyrick said: "The West Indian planters, have occupied much too prominent a place in the discussion of this great question. The abolitionists have shown a great deal too much politeness and accommodation towards these gentlemen." As a result, "this pamphlet changed their view", and "they now attacked slavery as a sin to be forsaken immediately". Aiming to promote public awareness of the issues of the slave trade and hit the profits of the planters and importers of slave-produced goods, Heyrick encouraged a social movement to boycott sugar from the West Indies, visiting grocers' shops in Leicester to persuade them not to stock it. Heyrick believed that women should be involved in these issues as they are particularly qualified to "not only to sympathise with suffering, but also to plead for the oppressed." Together with her close friend and fellow campaigner Susanna Watts, Elizabeth founded The Humming Bird in 1824 – the first anti-slavery journal and only one of its kind to be written by women. Elizabeth also acted as the representative of the Leicester branch of the Female Society for the Abolition of Slavery. This society was to form an extensive network across the UK. Deeply concerned for the welfare of the long-term imprisoned, Elizabeth Heyrick was a prison visitor; in 1809 she prevented a bull-baiting contest by purchasing the bull. Elizabeth was the author of more than twenty pamphlets and other works on subjects as diverse as bull-baiting, prison reform, war, the plight of the poor, vagrancy, wages, corporal punishment and electoral reform. Towards the end of her life she became involved in the campaign against capital punishment. Elizabeth Heyrick never lived to see the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833. She died on 18 October 1831 in Rothley and is buried in Leicester, where she was born. *********************** Information shared from https://www2.le.ac.uk/.../womens.../elizabeth-heyrick; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Heyrick

That can happen with FPTP. The majority party is not always the one with the most votes/support.

I doubt it would have been that, The Tories would have needed to bring on board some of the other parties of which there would likely to have been quite a few to choose from. Failing that Labour would get the chance. It comes down to who can form a Government.
