Larry_LCFC Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 First glance back in for a week and I'm completely dumbfounded by some remarks on here. This is truely turning into a very negative-induced forum with some muppet moaners on board.Some of you cvnts would moan if we signed Messi,won the Champions League and had José M as boss. Here's to a great win tomorrow, I'm sure some of you will still be crying though!!! Would you celebrate if we have Mourinho as boss? The guys a bellend!
BigMicky Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Based on being a fan of the club and seeing alot of similar opinions. Do you go out of your way to disagree with everyone deliberately? You mean your friends and foxestalk. Do a straw poll across the demographic on Saturday and come back with your findings. I imagine the majority would be no one really cares. I only disagree with idiots.

I also imagine if you asked the majority what the club meant by #Fearless in relation to Leicester, they wouldn't have a clue either.

Ricey Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Negativity or not, it's clear the club is out of touch with the fans for something like this to even cause a debate. Of course it's what happens on the pitch that matters, everyone is aware of that, but I don't see why our on the pitch success means we have to be happy about absolutely everything that the club does. It's not negativity for the sakes of it, it's clearly a view shared by a lot of fans.
yorkie1999 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 All it is, is a trendy symbol that a lot of folk are using at the moment. Bit like how something like eg www.willy puller.com was a couple of years ago. Didn't realise that w a n k e r gets auto corrected to Willy puller on here. Amazing.
johnny the fox Posted 21 August 2015 Author Posted 21 August 2015 Why the fook the fans can't cut the owners a little slack is beyond me... they are trying their best...FFS... some ungrateful twats on here... baffling..
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Based on your extensive market research and knowledge of current social media trends no doubt.... https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23fearless&src=typd http://websta.me/tag/fearless https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=fearless Here you go, memetic as ****. Now the whole wide world knows that LCFC is #fearless, to the point where we could claim a trademark on the word, and I dare say if we renamed ourselves #Fearless F.C. then it would become a bigger global brand than Coca-Cola. You don't need to be an expert to see that some social media "guru" at the club, is trying to push this with all the subtlety of a rhinoceros with its knackers in a bear trap and it's failing in its purpose. So it's not a meme, it's a slogan, you might say. Then what does #fearless say? Does it scream "we are fearless"? Why are we fearless, are we supposed to be afraid of clubs we've either beaten last season or beaten at some point in the last 20 years? Were we #fearless when we lost 3-1 at Man Utd last season? Or when we meekly surrendered at home to Stoke or WBA during our crap run? https://www.lcfcdirect.com/retail-product-search.aspx Do we sell a fearless shirt? Did it sell out before I got a chance to know it exists? Or is it something we hand out for free at away games to make a human display of blue with a crap slogan on it that can't be picked out from the edge of the 18 yard box? Is LCFC #fearless merchandise starting to infiltrate the mainstream clothing shops? All this without "extensive market research and knowledge of current social media trends".
TheSomersetFox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Why the fook the fans can't cut the owners a little slack is beyond me... they are trying their best...FFS... some ungrateful twats on here... baffling.. If that flag is them trying their best then a lot of people should pack their bags and fvck off imo
GaelicFox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Why the fook the fans can't cut the owners a little slack is beyond me... they are trying their best...FFS... some ungrateful twats on here... baffling.. Seriously ungrateful pricks They obviously weren't around when Heskey , lineker et al saved the club from extinction I couldn't give a feck if they wrote King Power on the inside of my eyelids as long as they keep investing and driving the operation forward It's not like they want to call the Club King Power FC
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Why the fook the fans can't cut the owners a little slack is beyond me... they are trying their best...FFS... some ungrateful twats on here... baffling.. But they aren't. They're clearly using it as an opportunity to promote the brand. That isn't 'trying their best', that's self-serving opportunism.
VLC86 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 If you think our owners come up with some stupid shit remember, it could have been Fawaz.
Collibosher70 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 not the best flag ive ever seen....bring back inflatable hammers and bananas..them were the days
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 I've been racking my brains to think of what product we tried to plug somewhere around 2006-2007 when we were potless by producing a surfer. A big blue surfer with the club badge on and some random company logo on that worked so well I can't even remember what it's called.

Because a catchy phrase has never caught on now has it. Try again...
Weller in Tights Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Based on being a fan of the club and seeing alot of similar opinions. Do you go out of your way to disagree with everyone deliberately? You are trying irony here? Yes? Seeing a lot of similar opinions? Where? Seems a mixed bag on here and anyway Foxestalk represents all City fans? And seriously Larry you appear to be one of the worst at deliberately going out of your way to disagree. For ****s sake folks lighten up.
GaelicFox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 But they aren't. They're clearly using it as an opportunity to promote the brand. That isn't 'trying their best', that's self-serving opportunism. Are you mental ? Self serving opportunism , cop yourself on It's the biggest gamble at self serving that's ever existed then .... THIER investment prior to promotion was so far beyond opportunism it was bordering on lunacy really Mental I wonder if this was a rich Brit would it be same issue , or how many of the moaners are Pearsonites still bitter
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Because a catchy phrase has never caught on now has it. Try again... Errm, the point was that it isn't? It's the name of a Taylor Swift album which is eclipsing us in terms of notability. If we started using the slogan "The Real Thing" or "Just Do It" would you consider that a rousing success?
BigMicky Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 But they aren't. They're clearly using it as an opportunity to promote the brand. That isn't 'trying their best', that's self-serving opportunism. They are trying to give us a global fan base, another stratosphere of money. They can promote their "brand" all they like, as other posters have said, so long as we are moving forward. Some folk on here think this is a local club for local people, not anymore.
Collibosher70 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Because a catchy phrase has never caught on now has it. Try again. if it's catchphrases they want they need bruce forsyth down here..he's got loads.
GaelicFox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 If you think our owners come up with some stupid shit remember, it could have been Fawaz. Or the guys at HULL VILLA SUNDERLAND NEWCASTLE (although he has changed this window) LEEDS POMPY The list goes on and on and on
BigMicky Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Errm, the point was that it isn't? It's the name of a Taylor Swift album which is eclipsing us in terms of notability. If we started using the slogan "The Real Thing" or "Just Do It" would you consider that a rousing success? Based on your demographic. How do you know it's not catchy in the eyes of a 5 or 6 year old? Quite simply you don't...
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Are you mental ? Self serving opportunism , cop yourself on It's the biggest gamble at self serving that's ever existed then .... THIER investment prior to promotion was so far beyond opportunism it was bordering on lunacy really Mental I wonder if this was a rich Brit would it be same issue , or how many of the moaners are Pearsonites still bitter The decision to put their brand on a pre-match flag is opportunism. I'm not debating the many other things they've done, just this decision. In my opinion corporate logos have no place on banners - they ought to be solely for the fans. They are trying to give us a global fan base, another stratosphere of money. They can promote their "brand" all they like, as other posters have said, so long as we are moving forward. Some folk on here think this is a local club for local people, not anymore. How depressing.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Based on your demographic. How do you know it's not catchy in the eyes of a 5 or 6 year old? Quite simply you don't... Well kids are excellent at getting money out of their parents wallets, and I don't see many #Fearless Filberts around. If the idea is to sell it then we're doing a pretty crap job. If the point of it is simply to mean something we're still doing a crap job. Even if a #Fearless Filbert was delivered to 100,000 homes in Leicester by Santa this Christmas, would that be down to the slogan, the loveable character we've had since the 90s, or civic loyalty? Would it outsell a simple Home kit filbert which has the added bonus of visibility for our board's company?
