What are we entitled to as a fanbase?

[Dave Fishwick]

Seeing a lot of discussion from other teams fans that we are "entitled" after our title win in 2016. But what does that mean exactly? What do we feel entitled to be experiencing from our football club and matches?

 

A run in a cup once in a while?

Attacking intent, expansive football?

To at least be entertained at home matches that we pay hundreds of pounds for each season?

 

or none of the above?

 

 

[foxfanazer]

It's a sport. We're not entitled to anything. We have a great owner and are in the top tier of English football 3 years after the winning the league. It ain't all bad

 

This modern bullshit of 'we must play exciting, attacking football' is the annoying part. When have you known us to be that kind of side?

[Kinowe Soorie]

Winning some home games and being hard to beat. Not bothered about the style of play. Aiming for 7/8th place.

[brucey]

We may be entitled to expect things, but we are not entitled to anything.

[DerbyshireFox]

It amazes me the amount of ‘fans’ of other clubs who think we expect top 4 or a title challenge. Nobody expects that, even the most entitled of Leicester fans. I think it has absolutely heightened expectations of people, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable for us to accept top half finishes pushing to be best of the rest with a goal of challenging to break the top 6.

Standard switch kop and family stand joke.

I expect top 3 pal.

Doesn’t stop at the top 4 clubs. We give Wolves some right shit on here because we say they’re deluded to think they were going to finish top 6. Nobody knows where that assumption came from, I’m sure if you asked a wolves fan before a ball was kicked this season they’d have snapped your hand off for 17th place. Don’t make it seem like we’re the only ones hard done to by fans of other clubs and their perceptions of us. 

[Nicolo Barella]

We are entitled to respectable goals from our board considering our level and broader context, and trying our best to achieve those goals. 

 

E.g. Burnley at the start of this season:

Small run in the EL (fail)

Mid-table finish (remains to be seen if it will work)

[Mr Weller]

Doesn’t really matter because they don’t follow us. There is nothing wrong in wanting to be the best and nothing wrong with sacking a manager who is doing badly. That’s all there is to it really. If they want to keep failing managers that’s up to them and their club.

Oh not at all, people are quite happy to dish it out because we won the league. Wolves got a fair bit of stick on here (in particular). There were plenty in the media bigging them up. Give them their dues, they’ve backed it up. I couldn’t give a shit what people think about us, but it’s interesting to see what people’s perceptions are

[Nalis]

BBC have your say section is possibly the most deluded, ignorant section of opinions on the internet.

 

Fans of other teams look at the league table and think 'they're mid table, entitled dickheads'. But they dont understand the direction we were going. It started to remind me of Newcastle in our great escape season where they sunk like a stone and almost got relegated. The next season, lo and behold they went down.

 

The life of a mid table team involves good runs, bad runs and inconsistency which I accept however we made consistently easy for weaker teams in the past couple of months to get a result against us.

[DennisNedry]

We're entitled to nothing, however I think most of us expect something better than Puel was serving up, and it's reasonable to assume there's managers out there who can deliver that for us.

[Corky]

Fans are fed up of losing matches- it isn't unique to our club.

 

In fairness, at matches, I haven't heard a manager out chant since Sousa, despite what is being said on forums like this one. Ranieri was still having his name chanted in what was his final home match.

 

 

[SystonFox]

We are entitled to play football the West Ham way, the Derby way, the Ipswich way and steam roll Burnley and palace at home.

[David Hankey]

When I fork out my season ticket money I do not expect to witness inept performances week after week. I do not expect a manager to continually make poor selections in both the starting line-up nor his substitutions. Puel's boring style of football was taking us downward and I for one applaud the Chairman and the board for taking this decision in what, after all, has been a very difficult season for them.

[MonkeyTennis?]

To win more than 50% of games is pretty much what I'm after.

You do realise there’s no guarantees that come with a season ticket? I’ve been spending money on Leicester for 50 years. Mostly it’s been shit. Occasionally good. On a few occasions magnificent. That’s football mate. If you’re looking for guaranteed excellence maybe try the theatre instead?

Don't be so obtuse!! I've never mentioned nor asked for any "guarantees".

You said when you bought your season ticket you didn’t expect to witness inept performances. How am I being obtuse?

iIf you support a football club over time you’ll always get inept performances. It’s the nature of the game.

[Finnegan]

Entertainment. 

 

Anyone that tells you otherwise is a cancer on the sport that's completely lost touch. Only one team can win the league, we can't all win, that's fine. 

 

But we've all got a right to be entertained, it's what we pay a LOT of money for.

That’s fair enough, you’ve been consistent in that, but I have to say, a lot of Leicester fans lied about that. At the game yesterday a group were bemoaning any pass that didn’t go forward, then went on to say how they want Dyche in to play defensive football and settle for a 0 0 draw or sneak a boring win. 

When we had a humdinger against Wolves and played an attacking game away at Spurs I was expecting those who said they disliked the boring football under Puel to congratulate the new style. Not a bit of it I’m afraid. Just pissed off we lost. 

[Dave Fishwick]

great points there. So it isn't enough just to be entertained, you have to win a bit as well?

[Brainy]

Its scary the amount of neutrals that believe we can't sack a manager anymore because "we expect to win the league every season" Anyone who thinks that is proving how out of touch they are with the club.

I didn't really see Wolves as a change in style, we've always gone at teams away from home, especially those that are considered good footballing teams. 

 

The problem at Wolves was less about tactical approach and more just a mix of awful individual errors and then some terrible tactical decisions. 

 

Why were we pressing with our full backs bombing on for a winner after we'd equalised? The fourth goal was entirely avoidable, tactically, yet we were pushing on to try and save his job with an impressive win instead of consolidating a point.
