lush Posted 20 September 2005 Share Posted 20 September 2005 My point being that the Foxes-Trust rep said they would publish the names of shareholders later in the week. I know that, but i asked for the names of every board member, or do you know secretly that every shareholder is a board member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Honcho Posted 20 September 2005 Share Posted 20 September 2005 Just to confirm you are correct Louise about both Humpy saying no & Wilson having a shareholding in the club but is hardly ever seen at games. We actually own £1,000 more shares than him. The budget approach is to ensure the club has a long term future (doing otherwise is what got us in a mess before). LLF - Mega millionaire - dream on. If there was somebody there, the board would certainly listen But as someone asked on a previous thread"Do we want an Abramovich" I think most of posts on that thread were against it!

Thracian Posted 20 September 2005 Share Posted 20 September 2005 We would not question the club based on a defensive formation for a SINGLE game. If this proved to be the case on an ongoing basis, then yes we may raise the issue. However crowds are likely to fall even further if we go to an attacking policy & then get relegated. I think you need a bit of perspective of 90 minutes over the course of an entire season How do you know?. We haven't had an attack-minded manager for years. Adams was frightened to death if his team took the lead ... talk about regrouping and hanging on to what we've got (or trying too). Adams could even lose two-goal leads his teams became that negative. West Ham attacked and look where they went. Did their crowds go down and if so would they have gone further down if it hadn't been for their success? The point has been made that, quite rightly, Levein might not have sufficient faith in his strikers because although we move forward well (sometimes), we're not converting many chances. And yet we sell Connolly then fail to replace him with a proper centre-forward. It's just typical Levein that he stacks the club full of defenders but leaves us with no real centre-forward cos MDV is essentially a lay-off specialist, Hammond doesn't score for whatever reason and Hume is an attacking midfielder who I thouight was a cracker (but is obviously no better than anyone else judging by the amount he's asked to play) What manager heads into a season without specialist centre-forwards? In fact our all-round approach to scoring goals is pretty half-hearted an indicated by how few times we've scored from set-pieces and the comments from Levein about not needing to chase more goals when the game is won. My complaints are not based on one game. We lost loads of matches by the odd goal under Levein last season because we didn't have the attacking capability necessary to unlock defences. Well there's been plenty of time to correct that but it never seems to have been priority despite loads of fans screaming that it should be. I've said before I don't want a new manager and I don't want a new board. What I want is a PROPER striker and people on the coaching staff who can bring some ingenuity to our set plays and an attitude whereby we hammer advantages home instead of resting on them and going cautious. Are we the worst in the League at set plays (not just the Championship) or is there someone worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes_Trust Posted 20 September 2005 Share Posted 20 September 2005 Is there 40 shareholders on the board? No - presume you never buy a matchday programme, the Directors are listed every game. The Directors are: Tim Davies - Chief Exec Jim MaCahill - Chairman The rest of the board consists of: Greg Clarke, James Johnson, Tony Lander, Tony Wheeler, Tim Storer. In addition - Martin Glenn (Walkers) & Malcolm Stewart-Smith (Teachers) complete the board line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lush Posted 20 September 2005 Share Posted 20 September 2005 Does the foxes tust have a specific favourite? Which one if any, do the foxes trust consider better qualified to make sensible decisions? Which one if any do foxes trust consider the biggest city fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 21 September 2005 Share Posted 21 September 2005 Which one if any do foxes trust consider the biggest city fan? Does it really matter? A director can have the best interests of the club at hear, and be better qualified to run the club without being a fan. In fact, some emotional detatchment can be more beneficial than letting the heart affecting your reasoning. For example, Karen Brady, CE of Birmingham is in fact an Arsenal fan, yet this has not stopped her being an integral part of the club's recent form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

step Posted 21 September 2005 Share Posted 21 September 2005 Ok, so we have now gone through the sack the manager senario and most people think he should stay, and it looks likle the sack the board campaign has also lost its momentum./ so who is left to blame. The players, well we cant sack them cos they are all we can afford. so it onlY leave the fans. it must be our fault, after all if we could afford and where willing to pay more to watch city we would not be in this mess. I propose we start a campagn to SACK THE FANS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I propose we start a campagn to SACK THE FANS There are 24 different sets of boards in the championship, 3 will fail, 3 will acheive major success, and the other 18 will ponder what if. Even if all 24 boards were of the finest quality, spent 10 zillion sqiud on players, 3 would fail. The way to understand failure/success at city is, have they/will they, do their very best? If they do, no complaints from me. If they dont, then the shareholders need to decide whos best suitable. The shareholders (oh pagan of nature please be they city fans, and die hards preferably) are fans, they make the crucial descisions, the highering and fireing of the product we see on our hallowed turf. It is human nature to make mistakes. It is the nature of the proffesional game that we can fail. Sacking/voting out some of our fans is not quite the answer, making sure that whenever those board members have the greatest power, that they have the best possible ability to ensure that power is implemented efficently is.

Thracian Posted 21 September 2005 Share Posted 21 September 2005 Why does that not suprise me. Probably called for Mon's head after 12 games also. I want to play like bloody brazil 1970 but it aint going to happen. I couldn't give two hoots if we played like wimbledon 1985 if we are getting results. As has been mentioned before, I don't go to Leicester to be entertained. If the football is good then that's a bonus. I suppose we all have our own different expectations as supporters. Just don't expect me to be happy with any old dross packaged up as football cos I'd much rather have all-action football like last night - but against the better sides as well. For the record I'm pleased (even on reflection) that Adams left and I cannot recall ever calling for either Levein or MON to be sacked. In fact (as you well know but choose to ignore) I've generally praised Levein's stewardship. I just don't like his pre-occupation with defence - his instinct to adopt "safety mode" whenever he perceives a threat because he's never quite convinced that attack is the best policy.

Can we just get who makes what decisions correct here The shareholders elect a board. The Board make the key appointments, such as Chief Exec The Chief Exec comes up with a budget, the board approve it The Chief Exec tells the Football Manager the playing budget The Football Manager decides who to buy/sell within the budget. Now tell me how much say do shareholders get on the hiring & firing of the product on the turf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
