Frank to be Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Because of the nonsense people are trying to make us believe now regarding them, we have people saying they saved the club, when they arrived we had just lost in a play off semi final and were going in the right direction. What other fans think doesn't really bother me, just because they have crap owners doesn't mean we should bowdown to ours with regards to every decision they make. Every decision they have made so far that doesn't involve Pearson managing the football club has been a shocker, let's hope the Ranieri appointment is different, but I'm once bitten twice shy. (Or twice bitten thrice shy) Yeah all those training ground improvements and transfer records being broken have been nothing short of shockingly bad decisions
Bagworthblue Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 some people are 'glass half empty', some are not. i used to be but life is much better when its half full and some are left with a bit of froth at the bottom
justfoxes Posted 15 July 2015 Author Posted 15 July 2015 and some are left with a bit of froth at the bottom And some with FOOK all !!
bluebeau Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 One thing I believe is unfair when criticising the owners, is the sacking of Nigel. None of us know the true & actual reason for them taking such drastic action, but for sure they must have had a damn good reason as they always said that they had a very good & close relationship with him. The Thais have to be the best owners that this football club have ever had, so get behind them ffs!

justfoxes Posted 15 July 2015 Author Posted 15 July 2015 By the same argument you don't know much if anything about our previous owners. We haven't had bad owners in the past I agree but this is the first time in our clubs history that the owners have ploughed so much money into the club on both Debts improvements to ground training ground and breaking club spending records on players let alone what they have done for us fans also !! I think that all the years I have supported Leicester and it's quite a few that these are the best owners we have had they are actually putting their money forward to make us a successful premier league side and as said before this is a new era in supporting Leicester City !!

Just because they have a lot of money doesn't mean they are better, maybe some of the previous owners put in all they could afford it may not have been as much but anyone who gives up to their maximum is surely worth considering as one of the best. These maybe the best but you can't say they are the best without knowing previous circumstances. My point was you can't criticise people for commenting negatively about an unknown situation and then post positively about an unknown situation, somewhat hypocritical don't you think.

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Yeah all those training ground improvements and transfer records being broken have been nothing short of shockingly bad decisions Matt is clearly talking about football decisions. Great they made the stadium look a bit nicer and improved the training ground, but they aren't exactly tough decisions to make when money is no object. All their decisions made in terms of the footballing side have been pretty poor, with the exception of stumbling upon Pearson as a 2nd or 3rd choice.

Owners with loads of cash = good owners Owners with little cash = bad owners. Unfortunately a lot of British fans seem to think the same way these days.

Sven was appointed with mandaric as chairman. Since the owners have assumed full control they've made the following managerial decisions: Sacking sven Appointing pearson Not sacking Pearson during two very bad runs. Four decisions, all correct. How are you justifying saying "all of their footballing decisions have been poor"?! They've all be correct!

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Yeah all those training ground improvements and transfer records being broken have been nothing short of shockingly bad decisions Agreed - what sort of Dumbass believes £100m + or whatever the figure of investment is, has not transformed the fortunes and improved the stability of the club over the last few years.
Guest MattP Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Out of interested, what would you consider to be the qualities of a good owner? Great question. It's a really tough thing to be because I don't think any of other business it is like it, instead of shareholders to please it's supporters, instead of financial investment from cusomters it's emotional investment. I still think Martin George was the best owner/chairman we had, he wasn't absolutely loaded himself but he seemed to realise where the club was and where it could be, he picked three managers during his time here, Brian Little, Mark McGhee and Martin O'Neill, I don't think anyone could claim to have a better record than that in managerial appointments. I think a good owner is someone who cares about the club and would go to any length to make sure it is still there for the next generation of it's faithful, sees the football as the total priority and the thing that decisions should always be based on, has a level head, is sensible, doesn't see it as a model for his own personal interests or business and above all realises that the supporters are his customer, but also that they are not customers in any sense of the world. It's someone who would never seek to make money out of the club for themselves, they are in it for the wrong reasons if that's the case, what Shiekh Mansoor and Roman Abramovich have done is beyond sensational, to invest (sorry not invest, let's use the proper word shall we? Give) that sort of money just to deliver trophies to the supporters is out of this World. if they do believe that it needs investment and they can provide it then they shouldn't start charging levels of interest on the club to do it, if you run a Premier League club it's likely you have enough money anyway. You? Agreed - what sort of Dumbass believes £100m + or whatever the figure of investment is, has not transformed the fortunes and improved the stability of the club over the last few years. We'd actually gone down the league when that figure stood at around 90million
lcfc278 Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 I have to say I agree we are a miserable bunch of b*****ds as football fans. It doesn't seem to matter what happens to us as a club, there are always a huge number of people who are ready to have a good moan about it. I honestly think there are some people on here who would be happier if we were struggling down in League 2 the way they talk about the club. I am aware of the hypocrisy moaning about us being moany and miserable but sometimes it is just incredible. Go back 10 weeks ago when we had just secured premier league survival = moaning about the new kit, moaning about the free beer, skip forward to Pearson's sacking = moaning about the owners, moaning they have ruined the club, moaning they don't know what they are doing. And now the present = moaning about the fact it took 2 weeks to get the new manager in, moaning that we are linked with certain players. Just relax and enjoy being a fan of the club for a while.
Guest MattP Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Just to clarify to anyone who thinks I'm a 'moaner'. Since this month I haven't moaned about Leicester City Football Club since Sven Goran Erikson was in charge, that's a fairly long time.

Surprising.. Ranieri is rubbish. Owners are rubbish.
Guest MattP Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Shit I didn't spot that was only when Pearson was in charge.

Matt why do you think you are better than the others posting on here calling people simple ??You are rude disrespectful and you think you are better than others!! 'You're not !'
Wymsey Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 Matt why do you think you are better than the others posting on here calling people simple ?? You are rude disrespectful and you think you are better than others!! Not sure if serious.
GorlestonFox Posted 15 July 2015 Posted 15 July 2015 I'm going to moan about you moaning about moaners
justfoxes Posted 15 July 2015 Author Posted 15 July 2015 Not sure if serious.Sorry his post calling people simple or 'argument of the very simple'Just because he disagrees with someone they do not deserve to be called simple ! Who the hell does he think he is ?
