Vestan Pance

Rumours are he was on £7k a week at Salzburg and X10 that here. I'm pretty sure his next contract will a lot closer to £7k than what our mugs paid him. Nice guy though.

If he was a Director of Football he'd be John Rudkin.

We have been punished based on the PSR mechanisms. Chelsea's issue, while worse, has no bearing on our case.

Technically yes, but considering they finished fourth the two seasons we missed out on Champions League I'd say there is a bearing. Despite the incompetence of KPFC, reaching the CL on either occasion would have made a huge difference to us.

No doubt they'll be lawyers from several clubs looking at the possibilities.

Did everyone who has voiced their criticism of the ownership on here turn up to the protest yesterday? If not, why not? 

 

 

No, but my protest has been not going to any games until King Power are gone.

LC would be a big club in EFL 1 but you don’t get extra points or indeed concessions because you’ve got a top class  stadium and training ground the massive decline in income would be catastrophic. Yes catastrophic.

 

 

 

 

My experience of watching League One is that there are some incredibly efficiently run clubs in there, running on small budgets, but have it down to a fine art. 

If we end up in there it will be very difficult to compete with teams who are so well practiced at living off scraps.

There will be widespread job losses at the club. Really good people who represent the club with integrity and pride, losing their jobs in what is already a challenging and difficult financial and economic climate. 

This is the main reason I'm still willing us to stay up. 

We often hear he phrase "The club is rotten from top to bottom", but in my experience it really isn't.

The vast majority working there are good people, who are mostly isolated from what happens results wise, and have no influence over it.

The people who host and look after the academy kids, the teachers the grounds people, the receptionists, security, the cleaners, the cooks, etc etc......all being let down by the so called elite football side.

Just to be clear — parachute payments do go to the club. Yes, some of that money might be used to service loans the owners put in place, but it’s still the club’s income. It’s not “skipping” Leicester entirely — it’s exactly what keeps a relegated club from collapsing overnight. People are exaggerating how useless parachute payments are.

So what what do they borrow the next lot money against to finance next season? These are payday loans, and the next payday is not happening.

People need to stop jumping straight to the “administration” talk every time relegation is mentioned. Yes, dropping to League One would obviously be a massive financial hit, but clubs the size of us aren’t automatically on the brink of collapse because of it.

We’ve still got parachute payments, a big fanbase, Premier League infrastructure, and players who would likely be sold if needed to balance things. Plenty of big clubs have gone down to League One and recovered without going into administration.

The bigger issue isn’t just relegation itself – it’s how the ownership and recruitment have been handled over the last few years. That’s what’s put us in this mess. Relegation would hurt badly, but it doesn’t automatically mean the club is about to go bust.

Parachute payments from this point onwards are £0 when you consider next year's payment is already spent courtesy of the Macquarie loan.

This is a very good point. I get that he played on Saturday...but come on, this is a great chance to play him into some semblance of form.

He's due another goal in about 30 games so it's a good call😂

its unclear how the system is supposed to work in our case. 

 

If we go down and incur further huge losses, our owners continue to fund those losses, we fail PSR again by a huge margin and are punished with more points deductions, which send us down again.... PSR then literally kills the club which has owners willing and able to fund it fully. 

 

Its mental, and I don't see how it can be legal.  Rules which force a death spiral of a business and club.

The rules were put in place to stop crooks not idiots unfortunately.

Next in recruitment - Keith Vaz as public relations director 

TBF he would be ok as kit man, he knows a bit about washing machines.

I'd say I'm surprised, but I'm not. The place is being run by idiots.

Just out of curiosity if he keeps us up would people want him to get the job permanently?

 

Or even if he takes us down but we do improve week on week but we just brought him in too late?

I'd imagine his contract will extend automatically if he keeps us up. He be daft to not negotiate that.

It's much better to watch than the half arsed walking football if Cifuentes. I actually cared tonight after seeing proper effort from the players. Carry this on, get JJ back and we have a chance if climbing the League.

80 games including cups since the start of last season, we've kept 9 clean sheets, three of which were against league two clubs. it's genuinely shameful 

On a positive note, we'll be alright in League Two👍🥳

Akinbiyi managed roughly one in five. He was an expensive flop at the time but it’s not that bad.
 

Daka makes him seem like Gabriel Batistuta in comparison.

 

You’d struggle to find a more ineffective striker in our history given what we paid for him. 

 

I instantly thought of Elvis Hammond (Ankle)  being the worst I can remember, but looking at his scoring record he was much better than Daka😂

I had a season ticket since they became available in the Filbo kop, right through to last season, just a two year gap somewhere in the middle when I had to work on Saturdays.

When I emailed to give it up I was genuinely surprised that within a few hours I had a confirmation reply with no questions why, not a phone call, nothing. I wasn't expecting them to beg me to stay😂 but I would have thought that maybe getting the opinions of supporters as they pack it in would be pretty important from a market research point of view?

Again I think this may be symptomatic of the condescending way the club views it's supporters. Unless of course they do have leaving surveys and I was just missed?

Again, and I'll repeat this...It's not that this is taking time from Percy's bomb, it's because we've wasted 3 and half weeks to get to this stage! That is the issue. 3 wasted games, 3 wasted opportunities to get Rowett to get his style into the players. Every day that it isn't officially announced is another day of uncertainty. 

 

If he's taking training, excellent we can move on but this is too late, it should have e happened weeks ago, that is the reason for the fuss. 

I'd be very surprised if he is taking training, most of Leicestershire knows someone that works at Seagrave, and there has been no word of yet.

I think it's quite ironic that the PSR rules were brought in to stop clubs going bust, they didn't reckon on the stupidity of Leicester City. The PSR rules in our case will be the thing that has fed our administration, because stupidly Top would have kept piling his own money in without the regulations.

I'm not saying our demise is the fault of PSR, far from it, but the rules don't account for terrible owners and directors like ours, and have sped up our inevitable fall.

Controversial but if I had to choose between winning the PL and winning the FA Cup, the FAC wins every time for me. The Premier League as a whole means nothing to me, it’s ruined football for the match going fan. Yes, it was a wonderful fairy tale for everyone and obviously I enjoyed it at the time but on reflection it changed the club and not for the better. No need to come at me for it, it’s my opinion. 

You don't have to choose, we won both, and it didn't need to ruin the club. The incompetents running it did that.

You never really know what’s going on in someone else’s life.
You don’t know what they’re carrying when they walk through the turnstiles. You don’t know what kind of week they’ve had, what battles they’re fighting quietly, what losses they’re grieving, or what pressures they’re under. And you certainly don’t know why they support a football club the way they do — or what it truly means to them.
For some of us, Leicester City F.C. is more than 90 minutes on a Saturday. It’s tradition. It’s family. It’s memories of going to matches with a parent or a grandparent. It’s the roar at the old Filbert Street or the feeling of walking up to the King Power Stadium under the lights. It’s that impossible, unforgettable journey in 2015–16 when the world watched and we dared to believe.
But life runs far deeper than LCFC.
For many, football is an escape. A release. A place where, for a couple of hours, the noise in their head quiets down. Where the stress of work, the strain of relationships, the weight of finances, or the ache of loneliness fades into the background. Win, lose, or draw, being there matters.
Some people will back the team loudly. Some will do it quietly. Some will criticise because they care. Some will defend because they believe. Some will travel home and away. Some will watch from their sofa. However someone chooses to support, it’s theirs. It’s personal.
What most supporters don’t want is animosity from their own. They don’t want to be ridiculed for feeling hopeful. Or called deluded for staying positive. Or branded negative for expressing frustration. They don’t want disdain. They just want to belong.
We are all Leicester City supporters for our own reasons — and in our own ways.
So before judging how someone reacts to a result, a performance, or a season, remember: you don’t know what’s going on in their life. You don’t know if this club is the one steady thing they have right now. You don’t know if this is the only place they feel part of something bigger than themselves.
Football is powerful like that.
It’s not just about the table. It’s not just about tactics. It’s not just about owners or managers or transfer windows. It’s about community. It’s about connection. It’s about respect.
And sometimes, win lose or draw, people just want to stand there, clap the badge, and show that respect — to the players, to the club, and to each other.
Up the City.

 

Side note: feel free to slag this post off or call me deluded but I'm merely stating facts.

You're right, we are all entitled to support LCFC in different ways, but you shouldn't expect everyone to validate and approve of it. I really couldn't care less how people view my version of supporting, neither should you.
