reynard Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 I'm ignoring most of the content of these but and it is a big but. This sort of press does the club no favours at all. The situation simply cannot be allowed to continue. I am going to leave aside football completely for a moment. If I am the owner of LCFC and using to advertise my brand to a global market through the worldwide sport of football I am not going to want to be associated with the complete and utter disaster that is now befalling this club. The performance on the pitch is embarrasing but all this sort of press is potentially damaging to brands associated to us through advertising. If I was an advertising executive looking to invest in a football club I wouldn't be looking at LCFC currently or in the medium term. The owners simply have to be in Engalnd a the moment. The club needs direction and leadership and it isn't getting it from thousands of miles away. There is inept management all over our club and no one seems to want to do anything about it. We are sleepwalking to the disaster relegation would be. Just imagine being in the Championship with half the squad sold and a potential transfer embargo, has the FFP investigation ever been fully concluded?
st albans fox Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Good point about the FFP investigation. we should be urgently trying to get it concluded!

How did you come into this world? If you don't know, ask your mother. I am quite sure, that she, after reading your post ,would also explain to you, why you and the guys, who gave you a reputation for it, look, right now, like the "morons of the month". Congratulations!!!

Blanchflower78 Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 The same Vardy whos face we had to endure on 30,000 seats. So many things wrong with this season...

Progressive, exciting football, like I saw last season. We should at least be able to attract one of those. That's a bit harsh on Rowett. If (and it's a big if) we were to make a change Rowett would be top of my list. He has experience of managing in difficult circumstances, and has delivered excellent results at both Burton and Birmingham. When he was at Burton they played decent football given the resources available. Likewise at Birmingham he wasn't blessed with great players yet kept them up in his first season and then had them challenging for the playoffs this season before their new crazy owner unexpectedly decided to sack him off and bring in a big name (good to see that worked out well). Having played for the club he knows what our club's about, and certainly won't stand for the antics that some of our players are currently exhibiting. Furthermore if you ever get the opportunity to hear him speak publicly he comes across well (not your usual thick as two short planks ex-player turned manager type). He reminds me a bit of Pearson but less stubborn and a bit more dynamic in his approach. I personally think if he was to come in he'd keep us up but even if he didn't he'd be a good manager to have in the Championship. Finally, if Ranieri has to go he needs to be retained in some capacity by the club. Allowing him to leave would send completely the wrong message to the player's. These players need to feel the discomfort that if Ranieri's removed from his current position that there's every likelihood they'll still bump into him whilst walking through the corridors at both the Stadium and Training Ground. Failure by the owners to do that will set a precedent that the players hold all the cards when things aren't going their way. It needs to be made absolutely clear that such behaviour is unacceptable and won't be tolerated.

The owner has I believe done so much for the club and look how he has been repaid. The player s have no respect for the owners or CR especially this season if we do go down the high paid players wages will be cut by 40% they will not take a wage cut they will leave. But it's down to them why we're in this position.

LCFC is only a small part of K Power Holdings Co, Ltd. Our owner is the employer of more than 7,000 people. How many of them are working for LCFC? Think about it, and you will understand, why he is not here all the time.

So, drop the fvckers and show some balls. Whilst they may have some legitimate reservations, their loyalty is to perform every week for the club that pays them very well. He hasn't done it out of the goodness of his heart, it's quite apparent he doesn't rate the replacements hence why most havnt had a sniff, plus when they did the failed to impress against Porto. its more a case of last chance saloon, running out of excuses and options.
easilee Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 A shot in the dark but I think it could be a backroom staff split and the players are taking sides. Seems to be an issue between Shakey and CR.

Slim 30m Musa 18m Mendy 10m Ndidi 15m Benny 5m Amartey 5m Gray 3m You may be on to something here. There are some decent players from that lot we have paid good money for. The price of our back 4 against Swansea: Kasper £1m Huth £3m (?) Wes £1m Simpson £3m Fuchs zero And on that performance we got less than what we paid for!
foxy boxing Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 we don't need a situation like at Chelsea a few seasons ago where they were openly revolting against Mourinho! it is clear some players what ever they say in public have turned against Claudio.

Watch clips/goals/full matches, whatever, of us when we've played well over the last few years. It's pretty much because of Vardy. Don't you remember when we used to be able to slide balls into a channel and he'd always get there first? Honestly, go back and watch it. These weren't passes or crosses played a bit in front of him to run onto - these were very average balls played within a 25 yard vicinity of him when the defender was often at least 5 yards closer. Remember when he used to pick the ball up deep, sprint past 2 defenders and win a penalty? These things happened time and time and time again with the old Vardy. They couldn't defend against that, it was so simple yet so hard to stop. The determined Vardy was unstoppable. We didn't provide for Vardy, he provided for us. We built the team around him because he'd turn good balls into great ones, and nothing balls into decent ones. THAT is why he's so diappointing this season, he's never needed service to make himself useful and be a menace for defenders. But he's not doing it now. Service is n ot an excuse. 100% this.....

Amyrella Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 In Vardy's book he did mention he wasn't keen on Cambiasso. I wouldn't be surprised if he took a dislike to a new player. We will never know what goes on behind closed doors. He's kind of an easy target.
Wymsey Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 He's the only player I could imagine would try to cause some form of controversy. The others seem an honest bunch.

The others seem an honest bunch. Not sure about Drinkwater after Sunday's performance. He honestly did not look bothered. There must be something in his personality whereby he can turn on superb performances or utter crap, seemingly at will. Its not the first time we've seen him look a completely different player. Last season...should have been in the England set up, this season would be lucky to be featuring every week for Rotherham. I feel more for Wes actually.. I think he's just past it. I think he's had his best and is on the downward spiral. He'll be playing at Coventry in two years time. But Drinkwater...I'm angry with him. He's just not trying.
Lionheart10 Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 Wouldn't surprise me I reckon he has had his nose put out by Slimani the £30m striker,he sees himself as No 1 after last season and don't like it.Mahrez takes Slimanis side and hey ho we have a split in the camp.Obviously I don't know Vardy but I reckon he could be a right poisonous little b*****d.

Foxxed Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 A revolt? In what sense? The only decent tactical revolt would involve changing the centre backs, and would Vardy really be trying to remove Morgan and Huth? A managerial revolt would likely mean any new manager would be involved in a power struggle immediately which would be fatal to any needed changes. Last season, the players did revolt against his tinkering, lead by Morgan, and the was actually a great move. This season, the players doing the same would be suicidal, since we're no longer riding a wave, but trying to swim back to the surface again. The championship would certainly destroy this revolt, but I'd prefer it be resolved sooner!
