There is that side of it too. The culture behind the scenes that we don’t see but get whiffs of. Hopefully a buyer will come in, and with it the change at board level, to decimate down to the player group.

I am glad that this thread has been created, as I mentioned this to my 7yo son to help give context that from bad results… that positive action can soon come of it. I don’t think Russell will be our manager by the time this season closes. I hope(d) it would work out, but I cannot see it clicking for some of these players with more time at it. I hope to be proven wrong. I do also believe that this squad is stronger than the one we finished the Championship season with (minus Jordan James of course). So, I would like to think if a manager were to come in, sure up the defence… adapt the style a little, mixing up playing tiki-taka with direct football, that we will add consistency to our play and get results. Let’s see what happens over the coming weeks.

Tbh, if this comes to fruition this is a solid move.

Not disputing the involvement and influence of those you referenced, mainly responding to where we were when they started and where we are today. I do recall a vision that they had, where they had the ambition of getting Leicester into Europe in 5+ years of the said statement, I think when we were promoted from the Championship. Perhaps other owners would have been visionaries also… but in this instance, this came to fruition and some! Agree on the short timeframe of our downfall as not being acceptable, but back to the topic on point, we have had a clear out of players, trying to out others, and only recently appointed a new manager that with his most recent failures has a point to prove. Let’s hope he does and we can touch back on this discussion at the end of the season once we’ve been promoted back to the Championship.

But we won the Premier League, FA Cup, had multiple European tours… that would not have happened unless King Power came in?! Please prove me wrong. Lowest position… after one game! After the next game we could move up and start the positive journey. I don’t disagree on the drop, the finances and the mismanagement of the club. But we have got rid of some of the deadwood, and high earners, brought in very capable players for the division (with a few more needed) and a appointed a manager that needs to be given time. We needn’t be so emotional after two fixtures where we’ve won and drew, regardless of the opponents. Any way, let’s support Russ and the team, and with more time, the results come in.

We are up for sale, we’ve offloaded a load of players (still needing more) and recently had a flurry of signings. I think things are moving in the direction they need too. No point dwelling on the mismanagement since 2022 now when wheels in motion for change. A buyer will come in, King Powers reign will end (and to be honest, it has been a good tenure when you consider where we were when they acquired us) and the next phase will begin. We are in League One. It is what it is. One game, one point. Let’s support Russell, and understand we are in a transitional period where patience may be required.

This is on point. No manager coming in will want Okoli, Thomas or Skipp to be starters… whilst harsh, is fair. Moving these players on will be desirable but MR will have to make do with the group. In two weeks, hopefully he has a group that offers competition in most positions and some of senior pros that need moving on, moved on.

I know this is just on a fans forum, but whilst not the W or perhaps the performance we wanted… it is still a point on the board and a first real outing for this group to gel. Most teams will be cagey on their first game or two of the season. Still movement in the transfer market will be had, with Soutter, Faes and Mavididi soon to leave… which would suggest at least two players coming in at least. Give Martin time and let’s not go straight into ultra negative, and entitled demands. We will come good.

Great point made by a not so stupid idiot. Maybe the heirachy should see a pattern that top clubs are coming to our academy for our young guns! Fair play to the academy leads bring these youngsters in and developing into assets… just wish for more to grace Filbert Way.

Lock it in. 🔐

We have a number 9! Jordan Ayew really has made it easy for strikers to come in and take that shirt. Less burdensome than being the player after Vardy.

It is an odd one, if feels like McCarthy will be first choice with this guy as back-up, a youngster as third choice, meaning Jakub to be transferred out… 🤔

Troy Deeney wouldn’t have worked out. £35m!

This frustrates me more than Monga leaving. Monga had more unknowns in my eyes, didn’t really deliver when he played last season… regardless of age, if you play first team there is a level of expectation. Granted those round him were awful, but I digress. Page showed some steel in the centre and it felt he could play a bigger part this season. If he does go, hope it is for more than Monga.

The fact we have dropped a division and he still doesn’t make the XI, whether DM or at RB, speaks volumes. The notion of him being considered as being captain feels ludicrous when he isn’t a guaranteed starter as academy graduates seem more likely for minutes over him. For Hamza, and for us, it is time he is loaned away with the best outcome a permanent departure from the club.
