I’d personally stick to the internet and ultimate guitar app. Im saying this purely because of your last sentence, which I think is very common

The game got too big for itself. Bring back the days of Shipman and co, local businesses who would scrape £300,000 to sign a player like Alan Young. Maybe they weren’t as fit, due to downing pints in town on a Thursday night, but they could still play and the days out were really enjoyable. This saga will roll on for years, maybe titles taken away, what an absolute and total farce this is, but it also won’t be mended for years. We have been involved too remember, we managed to be promoted in 13/14 with us paying an out of court settlement, so lots of teams are trying to find a way to break the rules that were set. I am wondering whether this could cause real damage to the game. I’m currently going most weeks to non league, it takes you back to the old days, and I’m noticing more and more faces appear that used to go down the KP. Imagine being a Man City fan right now. Thinking they have finally been caught, but knowing all along what they were doing was wrong. It’s broken, not sure how this will affect the game in general, but for me it’s showing it for the farce that it has been for years, and it could cause it irreparable damage. Maybe the waiting lists for tickets are that long that they will get away with it, but it will certainly make people think differently from now on I would have thought

Love to know what we pay these players. Got to be no more than £1k a week.

Moving on another manager is all part of the problem. We have problems throughout the club as we know, and moving on another manager is only making the situation even worse. We lose a few games, it’s the managers fault. A proportion of the fans turn, and the only part of the club that could be stable and get us going is destabilised. Cooper, VN, Rowett, Cifuentes and now it’s Martins turn. I don’t believe sacking any of them have made one iota of difference. It’s broken throughout, we know that, but I think the only chance we have of getting out of this is if we allow someone to build. One of the biggest issues with our current strategy of hire and fire is if any players don’t get on with the manager, they just get the hump knowing that downing tools will inevitably lead to the manager going. We have to stop this cycle and dig in. The other option is to add Martin the list of failures and then we can moan about another one that will fail. Each time us employing one with less credentials as nobody of any quality will join

I’m normally much better after a 72 hour lay off. For me if I play every day, if I take a time out I improve. Dont know why, but it’s not a one off, its definitely better for me if I take a breather

I think it goes above this. Maybe, just maybe Rudkin may have been told to get a player at any price and so has just been doing his job 😉 Also, if this was my business, I’d be close enough to ensure ridiculous deals don’t get agreed. As the owner of the business, you have to be close to the situation, you have to have knowledge of the deals, you have to be seeing the full picture, you have to analyse the risk. We were sleep walking not a disaster. It’s a huge mess and I think there is much more to come. The sale notice has only gone up when the year end accounts have been looked at. It’s a mess of catastrophic proportions, but I’ll say something. I’d have taken this catastrophe for an FA Cup win. We wouldnt have won the FA Cup without overstretching ourselves, it goes back that far. Im not bitter, Im just glad it all happened and at some point we will start all over again. My money is on it getting much worse before it gets better though.

Did some great stuff in the 80’s, trying to recall all the pieces of his I had. Last purchase was about 10 years ago, I found him again and took pleasure in buying something that stoked good memories.

Definitely not for me. He’s just a bit weird for my liking. Great left back, but an odd character. Kept Newport up, but only just. This wasn’t any Brian Little like lower league achievement.

I saw recently that the outer ring road at Oadby still has the land there, that was set aside for it. Basically down the side of Asda. Interesting to see what they were intending to do.

Seen this photo before. Not sure when this area was butchered, but not sure what the planners were thinking when they ruined this area

Our overhead at Seagrave puts us in a worse financial position than any of our competitors in the league. Especially when you add in our huge wage bill. The issue I have is that the lack of noise coming out of the club, which leaves us asking these questions, which isn’t good. I saw today that Aylestone Park FC put out a statement on how the future looks for them. It was a simple statement that left the community knowing the clear direction of the club. They are having a reset, lower spend on players fees, playing younger players and to expect them not competing at the top for a while. Just thought if we had this same communications a few years ago, maybe the fans would have supported or accepted the decline much easier. If I bump into any opposing fans and they question our clubs position, I say I’m worried about the future as our overheads are huge and there isn’t any noise coming out of the club that could allay any fears like what the original poster asked

I’m a bit staggered by this. I would have thought they can open it up to anyone and still struggle to hit 20k. I am shocked the interest must still be high

I was thinking today that the story has changed dramatically. The story was how Leicester City won the Premier League, everybody talked about it. The story has now changed, it will now be the King Power story that people start to talk about. How they came into football, how we got promoted with the controversy of FFP way back then, it was brushed under the carpet. I suppose that was an indication of what would come and bite us one day. That was quickly forgotten as the great escape happened, the trophies, yes the trophies. Leicester City actually winning major trophies, the tragedy of the owner, the demise to league one, the demise of the business in Thailand, the FFP issues. For sure the talk will be wider now than just the Premier League win 10 years ago. For me I have two thoughts, the first is that this story isn’t over yet and I really do have concerns as I don’t think we have bottomed out yet. But I suppose I haven’t taken the demise as bad as others. I said a few years ago that we won the Premier League, the FA Cup, played in Europe and I said back then that if it all came to a sudden crash I’d be fine as my football goals had been met. You could tell when Brendan wasn’t happy that it was all about to unfold, maybe more than I thought it would, but relegations and selling of players didn’t hit me as hard as it used to as I’d got the wins I never dreamt I had. It’s an absolute mess now, carnage, there is more to come, there won’t be any bailout available. The future looks grim, the story continues and it will now become the King Power story that is talked about. But I’m happy they turned up and we had those amazing times that would never have been possible.

We should get a new manager, so we can ruin yet another managers CV. I am of the opinion that we are ruining the managers rather than the managers ruining us. Surely the board can see a pattern, they will see that several managers have now failed and so maybe they need to point the finger elsewhere.

The issue we have here is he’s on a fortune, and only wants to play for a club close to his house. He now comes with baggage, so not sure who would take him on. There is a very good chance he is still here next season, as someone will have to match his wages which isn’t an easy thing to do with the money we band about
