I take your point, but with regards to this (as it references specifically that one of us didn't watch the game), I didn't watch the game this weekend as I was doing an Ultra marathon which I explained at the start of the pod. That's also why you hear more from @Ric Flair and Godders this week who both watched the game to give a more informed opinion on it as I couldn't provide that. In the rare instance none of us can watch the game (I don't think this has ever happened), we don't actually do a pod. I've watched every other league game this season and in 2026, other than Blackburn as we were already relegated and I wasn't wasting my time on a meaningless fixture with a bunch of dossers playing for us. Prior to my self-imposed refusal to attend matches due to the ownership, I would say I have attended at least 95% of games for the past 15-20 years. Ric and Godders are similar, so I don't think this is likely to be a problem...

I don't think it discredits any wider valid criticism if you disagree with a single minor point, but are you telling me your centre-half or right back shouldn't be heading this 20 yards from their own goal? I played both for 20 years but at a much lower level, I'd be getting a rollocking if I didn't. Especially after 20 seconds... Souttar is the tallest bloke on the pitch FFS. I accept it's a complete freak injury, i've done my knee so I have huge sympathy with him. It should have been dealt with and yet again it was our own naivety.

The club may be more likely to go into administration, but you cannot ever lay the the blame of that at the feet of the supporters. It will, and always will be, the sole fault of King Power, Top, Rudkin and the board who have driven this club to the brink of extinction from the most powerful position in our history and completely alienated the fan base along the way.

I respect everyone's decisions regarding whether they attend games or not. Many of my friends and family still do and that is completely up to them, but in my opinion you are just putting money in King Power's pockets and perpetuating this cycle. I don't believe people should pay for the likes of Jon Rudkin to steal a living and decide what is best for this club, alongside the wages of some of the rest of board and most of the playing staff when they have shown no accountability. Everyone has a breaking point and I'm no longer willing to be part of it. This isn't exclusive to Leicester City, it's more broadly an English thing in society. I'll moan about it but in reality, I won't actually do anything about it and i'll just continue to moan about it instead. I don't agree that there would be 'no fanbase' or the club would be a less sellable asset to potential new owners, as they would clearly know the reasons behind the drop. You only have to look down the road at Coventry City's attendances. They averaged about 21k at the Ricoh before it dropped to around 10k under SISU and now they comfortably get 30k a week. It's no different. If anything, it should encourage prospective new owners to galvanise the fan base and restore us to not only selling out, but having the demand to reach 40k which should have been easily achievable just five years ago. Anyone interested in buying this club will know we are a one club city, are capable of consistently selling over 30k and frequently sell out away games. We're quite easily one of the top 20 biggest clubs in England and bigger than them down the road. If they can do it, why can't we? I'll be the first person back down there with my old man if and when we get new owners and if I am able to get a ticket, but that was the risk I was willing to take. We're far too passive as a fanbase and I don't think any other club in the country would put up with this, let alone what clubs abroad would have done by now. If the owners are to leave due to administration, it will be worse for the employees of the club and the fans, but it will certainly be through no fault of people boycotting games. It will always remain solely the fault of Top, Rudkin and the rest of the board who have wasted money like they are playing Monopoly. Nothing the fans do or have done will result in this club being in administration.

Aside from everything pointed out above (which is all correct), we will get a 12-point deduction for going into administration in January if these charlatans don't **** off out the club. Things will only continue to get worse. Relegation is nailed on the longer they stay here.

I would like to make clear thankfully she is no relation. 🤣 I'd rather have a 'little club' the size of AFC Wimbledon with 10,000 supporters who care about the future of the club than 23,000 sold out season tickets if it meant all these King Power sympathisers ****ed off with them. Top out. Rudkin out. King Power out.

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.
