With regards to having the last word publically, I had no intention of that. You're the one who brought myself and Ric into it publically and by design. I don't really think i've got anything to discuss with you either in private or on here, given that I have seldom posted in the last decade, I have no idea who you are and have found this conversation to be absolutely baffling.

You said in your original post you reached out to use 'the platforms they have to take some proactive action, we get nothing back' yet above you say you haven't reached out to me because you don't know me. So which one is it? You may have reached out to Ric but you haven't myself, yet felt compelled to say you've got an issue without ever speaking to me. It's got nothing to do with 'the bollocks to reply to this one' to a post from someone I don't know who says they have an issue with me and Ric on a public forum about getting King Power out and then expecting neither of us to reply. You're actually very wrong about it benefitting my media career. If anything, it is a hinderance and is entirely at odds with a lot of mental health and culture work I do, but obviously you know more about my own career than me. I have a responsibility to my employers with regards to what I say on the pod and have to tread the line very carefully as it may impact our access going forward. I've also got into trouble several times with my former employers regarding some comments I made of my own volition, so it's probably best not to speak what is or isn't best for my career when you frankly haven't got a clue. Ric doesn't even work in the media. The BSLB pod has never and never will be about getting more listeners or soundbites and getting more opportunities for ourselves. If you had listened from the start you would know that. It's always been about holding the club to account, giving other fans some entertainment and a space they can voice their opinions and giving back to the community with the charity work we have done (like UFS). If anything, BSLB has 'played it's part' and 'come to the table.' We've been extremely vocal and aligned ourselves with the protests having boycotted games and between the three of us we've all attended them both. Jake has repeatedly led calls to join them despite dwindling numbers and a lot of personal abuse directed his way. I really don't see what's to gain from being so confrontational with either myself or others on this forum. Everybody wants the same outcome in this thread.

What on earth are you on about? Why would I expect credit for turning up to protests or boycotting games? I've been going down City with my old man for the best part of 30 years and now neither of us do because of this ownership. You've never reached out to me and i'm not part of any other group arranging protests. I went to the first one and I was working for the second, not that I have to justify myself to someone who comes on here and says they've got an issue when i've got no idea who you are. I didn't post on here for over seven years until the other week, when Jake was getting personal abuse. Why would I feel the need to promote my own media career by highlighting the failures of the football club? Makes absolutely no sense.

Agreed. I don't want us to go down either, so it wasn't aimed at anyone on this forum. I don't actually post that often on here (this was my first post in seven years), but felt obliged to in light of some of the abuse Jake has received that has probably irked me more than him and also comments on my appearance, but I shan't say any more on that. Me and Jake and @Ric Flair differ on that opinion of relegation, but I can also understand their point of view. If we were to go down, i'd be upset but wouldn't feel any sympathy for those running the club. I'm not on X either, for similar reasons. It is not a conversation for this thread, but we have created a society where there's no room for nuanced debate and it is acceptable to abuse people for having an opinion or a platform that's different to theirs. A lot of what Jake said was taken out of context, but that is the nature of the beast. To that end, it's also been difficult to criticise certain individuals at the club without crossing the line into personal abuse. I do accept by putting our own opinions on the podcast we're more fair game, but it was more of a reference to those who are 'KP in' and whose rhetoric seems to be abusive in response to anyone who has constructive criticism of the ownership. I agree with @Nolucklcfc that relegation will make these factions worse, to the point if you are KP out like myself you don't actually feel safe to voice those opinions at games. Anyway, the podcast was never intended to be divisive, it has just so happened that in the last few weeks/months we have become more aligned to wanting King Power out. We appreciate everyone who listens and it will always be an open forum for anyone who wants to come on and voice their opinion, KP in or out. At the end of the day, we all want what is best for Leicester City, but there seems to now be two distinct schools of thought how to go about that.

If you had listened to the podcast last week, you would know I don’t want Leicester to get relegated, because that’s exactly what I said. I didn’t call ‘anyone’ who said they don’t want to go down a ‘KP flag shagger’ as that would imply I am also one of those. It was referenced at those who, rightfully or wrongfully, feel they’re entitled to abuse Jake on social media.
