I don't get what you mean.  Why is Mads flopping at West Ham anything to do with Rudkin and Top?

 

Or do you just mean the fact we sold him in the first place?

Painful every time his scores for Newcastle.

 

Barnes and KDH should have been the core of our side for years.

so many of our dickhead fans ragged them both constantly

Some terrace legends don't need 10 years to earn their place in supporters hearts. Once such Leicester favourite was Derek Dougan. The archetypal maverick, during his short spell at Filbert Street in the mid 1960's, he made 68 appearances and contributed 35 goals, before surprisingly being sold to Wolves, but he will always be fondly remembered by fans of a certain age. https://tinyurl.com/4dxar9ch

More collateral damage of Rudkin and King Power (and by extension those that support them) and their incompetence.

 

Huh?

 

Selling a player for 4x what you paid only for the buying club to regret it hardly shrieks incompetence by the seller.

 

The club has made a lot of mistakes and the bad outweighs the good, but it's not like all the transfer business has been dreadful.

 

Plenty of good signings (Mads, Fatawu, James) and decent value sales (Mads £20m, McAteer £14m, Justin £10m). And somehow turning a profit on Tom Cannon...!

I think the sale of Mads was something the board got right, a good price for him.

 

Think people just like to stick the boot in all the time.

The problem is not with the people we sold it's the ones we didn't sell and those we gave extended contracts too.

The Ice Kings & FA Cup Finals
“Before the modern era of football glory, the Ice Kings inspired a generation with style, skill and grit.”
🏆 Post-War Success & FA Cup Finals
Leicester reached their first FA Cup Final in 1949, and in the early 1960s earned the nickname “The Ice Kings” thanks to their cool, clinical counter-attacking style under Matt Gillies.
They reached the FA Cup Final in 1961 and 1963, led by icons like Gordon Banks, Peter Shilton, and Frank McLintock.

Partly true they did have the style but were called the Ice Kings because we were able to continue playing and winning through the frozen winter of the early 60s

Didn't we sign him as a left winger, but he turned out more centre mid?

I wasn't around for this but I didn't think they got that nickname because of a "cool style," I thought it was due to the weather – and Peter Shilton would have a job leading a team to cup finals in 61 & 63 considering he hadn't played for us at that stage!

 

John Ghent Leicester Estate Agent needs a brush up imo!

I’ve been waiting for this for a long while.  I’m predicting the start of a very successful journey.
