Popular Post copunk 642 Posted 28 October 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted 28 October 2018 We will never ever get over the events of the past 24 hours, it will now become a huge part of our clubs history, sadly for all the wrong reasons ? But I think I'm right in saying that,regardless of results, performances, league positions etc, let's be as loud, supportive, encouraging and loving every single match day for our lads, and show the world that we really are the greatest club on the planet!!! Always and forever in it together 39 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claridge 767 Posted 28 October 2018 Report Share Posted 28 October 2018 Things will never be the same after today,but time heals and hopefully we will see happy times at the King Power in the future. Just seems so unimportant at the moment. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DennisNedry 1,062 Posted 28 October 2018 Report Share Posted 28 October 2018 Who knows that the future holds now? Frankly it's too early to even think about what King Power will do. The football seems so unimportant now. We're all a bit numb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Mehrez 1,983 Posted 28 October 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted 28 October 2018 I came across this online earlier and it really struck with me, I feel like some of that spirit has left us, not only between the players but also between the fanbase, if one shred of goodness can come from this tragedy I hope it is that we rediscover that spirit - we all know how powerful it can be 24 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be enormously surprised if Top doesn't continue his legacy, not just here but across the board. I don't mean this in the sense of selfish hope but more in admiration. He's a guy that clearly recognises his father was a force of nature, a guy whose father is clearly his hero and a guy who always struck me as striving to echo what his father achieved. They share faith, they share sensitivity and an outlook, they share interests in horses, finery, sport, royalty, et all. They've always struck me as friends just as much as family. They bought Leuven so that he could learn more and follow in his father's footsteps. Who knows for sure what the impact of this tragedy will be? Of course I'm only speculating but I'd still be stunned if it wasn't true. Edited 29 October 2018 by Finnegan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iirc Top originally was running the club but stepped back to learn from Vichai. I'd guess the plan was always for Top to eventually take responsibility, just not like this. I wouldn't blame him at all though if he didn't want to step foot near Leicester again - working 100 yards from where your dad tragically perished would be difficult to say the least. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I thought this, it may be too hard for him and who could blame him. I do however, have full confidence that even if he left, he would leave our club in good hands just like his father did.

Blue Fox 72 2,289 Posted 29 October 2018 Report Share Posted 29 October 2018 From the official Club statement. In Khun Vichai, the world has lost a great man. A man of kindness, of generosity and a man whose life was defined by the love he devoted to his family and those he so successfully led. Leicester City was a family under his leadership. It is as a family that we will grieve his passing and maintain the pursuit of a vision for the Club that is now his legacy. 3 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

st albans fox 8,467 Posted 29 October 2018 Report Share Posted 29 October 2018 The darkest hour is just before the dawn ................. Top will undoubtedly need some time but none of us know how long that will be .......... wow, this is going to be tough for the club..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
howlinmadmurfdoc 507 Posted 29 October 2018 Report Share Posted 29 October 2018 The company I work for only has 6 staff and we lost our Managing Director last year, he had built it from the ground up and was the only person who knew everything inside out. It was massively difficult but there were all sorts of business continuation plans in place to ensure things could carry on as normal. I would think the club for now is in more than capable hands with Top, Susan Whelan and Jon Rudkin running things. But right now none of that seems even a little bit important. I never dreamed someone passing that I didn’t know personally would floor me like this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fox 4 Life 1,503 Posted 29 October 2018 Report Share Posted 29 October 2018 It will be intesting though as Top has been more focused on King Power back in Thailand so he may not have the time to do both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete from the USA 273 Posted 29 October 2018 Report Share Posted 29 October 2018 The players are back in training today. I am trying to shake off the shock and sorrow. I am really glad someone had the guts to create this thread since sometimes the best way to deal with sorrow is to focus on the future. A lot depends on Top. If I were him, I work to realize the greatest wishes of my father, which would be to lead the club to a new level. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I truly hope that Top will carry on his father's work, but it's going to be so hard for him to keep coming back to a place where his father was so tragically killed. I'm not sure I could face that? You could totally understand if he decides to sell up and walk away. None of us know what the final implications may be after the dust settles, all we can do is hope that Top wants to carry on, in honour of his father.... Right now I would think this decision isn't a priority for the poor guy. What a disaster this is for all concerned. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urban.spaceman 32,412 Posted 29 October 2018 Report Share Posted 29 October 2018 I think they’ll do a tribute at the Burnley match which will be a sombre affair. I also think they’ll do a celebration of his life around his usual birthday fixture in April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

copunk 642 Posted 29 October 2018 Author Report Share Posted 29 October 2018 I'm glad this thread has had the reaction it has as it was purely made not to deter from the sorrow we are all feeling, but more to suggest the amazing support we already have from our fans continues and grows more and more after the events of the past 2 days, I felt awful and embarrassed today because I was so annoyed straight after the final whistle on Saturday that we had dropped 2 points, then this happens and nothing else footballing wise seemed to matter after that ?
