Marky mark Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 From champions to a relegation battle in less then 6 months
Russell sprout Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 From championship to premier league champions in 24 months, not a bad turnaround is it, oh and champion league last 16 aswell, think they'll be more than happy
filbertstreet Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 if they're anything like me probably a bit hungry at the moment
foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Just now, Marky mark said: What if the unthinkable happened Would be something to be lifting that CL trophy
Larry_LCFC Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 I bet they're feeling like they need a bigger bank account.

Marky mark Posted 21 January 2017 Author Posted 21 January 2017 Kind of think they might before long this wasn't part of the plan

They never, whatever they said expected to see KP plastered everywhere world wide as we lifted the title. They wanted the $ky exposure. Yes but what happened last year. TV coverage. Newspaper articles galore and all worldwide. They could never have dreamed of centre fold pullouts in national newspapers. They must have more than made there money back now as well so it's got to have been win win for them. Sure they will survive knowing they have still money to bank from the champions league. I guess they like us all won't be happy with this seasons form. But are we now forever going to bench Mark everything against last season?
Ashley Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Championship club in debt to a premiership club who survived went on to win the league with clearing all debts owed and now in Europe. I'd feel pretty good.
StanSP Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 on top of the fvcking world despite current form.
smudger63 Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Probably feeling pretty smug that they got rid of Pearson and replaced him with someone that won us the premier league.
norwichfox Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 They would have been ready for this whilst still counting the positives and money from last season. Ranieri prepared them well as to what to expect, he was quite clear that it would not be possible to repeat last years miracle and it would be a struggle, trouble is the players took it to heart and are playing to his prediction. As stated, we're still in the Champions league....perhaps that's a miracle we haven't finished with yet
VLC86 Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Probably still using spare £50s to mop up seminal fluid from the trophy that Top is still clutching to be fair.

lgfualol Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Calm and collected, and rich. And happy because they got Nong Pee.

It's not balanced to think 'it's football'. That's just ignoring the actual issues and the faults that have made us badly underachieve this season. I hope they're as disappointed as we are but also have the patience not to make any rash decisions. It's been hugely disappointing, without us needing to hit the panic button. Reflection on last season is nice but that doesn't change that things aren't good in the here and now. Whether the owners are really that bothered about our current form considering all they've achieved at the club, financially or otherwise, is a different matter.
The whole world smiles Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Why should the owners feelings be any different to the fans?
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Still grinning at how much money they're making I'd assume.
Guest LCFC_World Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 I bet they're feeling pretty down because they're only making 100M a year now rather than 110M. Gotta feel for them.
adejo92 Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 I don't think the owners could be happier. How we are now is probably what they expected to be dealing with when they took the club on. Last season was an absolute shock and nobody, including the owners, were expecting that. They are the owners of a PL team and i am sure they have made plenty of money off of the back of it. In short, i think they will be happy as larry!

Well in fairness to my post what you have posted is arguably a balanced view... especially for you! I got the impression the OP didn't possess such balance....
StriderHiryu Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Ranieri has said in interviews that the owners aren't happy. Whilst I'm sure they didn't expect another miracle, a top 8 finish for a team that's just won the league and smashed their transfer record doesn't seem unrealistic and yet it's been a season of struggle. At at the same time Ranieri also said the owner asked if he could help in any way, e.g. new players, etc so it doesn't seem like the unhappiness is anger, just disappointment. Assuming we we survive the drop (which shouldn't be taken for granted) then the close season will be interesting. Doubt Ranieri will go (unless he resigns) but sweeping changes could be possible such as a new DoF or moving on some more players. New contracts and pulling of the greatest achievement in our history has made a lot of the players less hungry. And whilst you would hope that professionals with lots of money could get past that, psychology is huge in any sport. You also have to keep in mind that players like Albrighton, Simpson, Ulloa, Okazaki, Morgan should not in a million years be League winners if you consider their technical skill. Somehow every player consistently raised their performance last year when there were no indications the players were capable of it. Truly a unique story and maybe the owners realise that there was a lot of luck involved. (But not belittling the achievement).
ThurmastonFox Posted 21 January 2017 Posted 21 January 2017 Well if they were (allegedly) looking to sell before last season they will be likely to do so again after this
