The fan base never used to be passive towards the runnning of the club to be fair,, that is definitely a modern thing. 

We were actually the complete opposite and known for it

 

Shipmans, Pierpoint, Mandaric etc all got plenty of stick 

 

It’s only since KP that the devotion to the owners has become a thing

After the last 10 years, all we are missing is Jim Bowen putting his arm around the club (metaphorically speaking) and saying now, ‘look at what you could’ve won’.

I know its modern times and all that, but as someone who first started going to games in the 1970s, and was going away everywhere during the 80s and onwards, i`ve lost count of the amount of times ive seen Leicester fight with Leicester over the years.

On trains, in pubs, on streets and in the ground, its nothing new.

I`m sure other clubs get it too. 

In fact in the 1970s, the council estates used to fight each other in the Kop, then all be together later fighting away fans!

They even used to make bonfires in the kop on a freezing day, and i`m` not even kidding!

The little spat last night was handbags really.

 

This is 2025. Not 1975.

Will never forget the “Pierpoint out” protests outside the Carling stand after Liverpool at home. 
 

I was a keen autograph hunter back then and the away team bus used to be parked outside the main entrance after the game. 
 

The sheer volume of fans meant the Liverpool team had to leave via the East Stand as the protests continued. 
 

Didn’t know why or even understood what the protest was about. But I still joined in anyway.

Yes I remember us being called the notoriously malevolent South South (The Kop as it was) as we used to give some tasty stick to the opposition and our own managers, managing directors, chairman etc 

 

Pleat got it, Pierpoint definitely, Brian Little on his return, McGhee (**** off Mark McGhee Oh what can it be .....) and even MON of course

This is a key reason Aiyawatt/KP need to go.

 

A large number of our fanbase (so called), are guilty of the stupidity of putting one man as more important than the club. The club that has been in existence since 1884 and had numerous owners and countless managers/players pass through the club. Not one of them is more important/bigger than the club but apparently, these people think Aiyawatt is. 
 

We need a full clean slate. One where we can appreciate and celebrate our achievements and history without them defining what we do now.

On that last paragraph, typically British, see a line of people, so you feel the need to join a queue.

What a fanbase we have!

Yeah, I missed all the fallout from this but saw post after post slagging UFS off. Turns out it's all your fault that the club's in the deepest shit it's been in 20 years, because sometimes you say hurty words about the players and ownership.

 

Stand your ground boys, there are some absolute wronguns in this fanbase and I'm not talking about you.

I've just seen that, think it's the worse one yet. With plenty of people agreeing. Also saying it's their fault for the lack of atmosphere in the ground 🤣

Completely agree, protests outside, windows smashed, abuse against managers too, like Martin O`Neil after the Sheff United game, Pleat got loads of abuse, Little had someone spit in his face, when he returned with Villa, and had Judas!, shouted at him constantly from the stands. People running on the pich and throwing their season tickets at the dug out during some dire times. Yes we wasn`t too passive back then.

I live in the north. I've seen Bury, Wednesday and Blackburn's ownerships impact on fans.

 

Not saying I don't agree but my word it can be bad. My preference would be Top accepts the issues and tries to make changes. Whether that's realistic, I don't know but clearly something has rattled the upper echelons more this year. 

 

Anyone who takes over, in my view, should have a plan and not be some dodgy oil state or Ratcliffe type. We laugh at them but the Wrexham owners are probably closer to what you want, than Newcastle. 

[hackneyfox]

I want Rudkin out, I want Top to step up and start making decisions.

I don’t want KP to sell up.

 

I’ll now be derided as a foot soldier for KPFC.

 

You’re splitting the fanbase by throwing about terms like that, you come over as believing you care more about the club than the ‘happy clappers’.

Most of those ‘Happy Clappers’ have been following the club home and away for decades.

 

We all want the best for the club but by calling for KP to leave you’re going to get a reaction from the many who just want them to improve.

Expecting Aiyawatt to improve and wake up is foolhardy in the extreme.

And what do we know about Thai culture? That 'respect' is big but is actually a byphrase for genuflection. You only respect upwards and in his eyes we're below him.

 

He will be utterly baffled that the scruffy tramps in the stands dare to question his judgement. He's not going to come to some realisation; it's just a steady decline into oblivion.

But when does this change? We going to be sat here in 5 years time, in administration and L2 saying ‘just give him time’ and ‘let’s hope he steps up’. What has given you the slightest hope or sign that the is is ever going to happen?

 

Aiyawatt is a bigger problem than Rudkin. Rudkin has at least been round football his entire life. He is in a position above his station and likely has to follow instructions from Aiyawatt. But who put him there? Who keeps him there? Come on, if Aiyawatt was in the slightest way going to accept any responsibility and change, he’d have done so by now.

 

But as I have said numerous times now. The most dangerous thing here is that we now have one individual who is considered bigger and more important than the club by a large section of our supporters and that is a problem and will prevent us moving forward.

In my mind, the only difference between the clubs you have mentioned is that they have bottomed out and we haven’t yet. This could get every bit as ugly as particularly Wednesday or Blackburn (both different routes as Wednesday went bang spectacularly and Chansiri is now gone whereas the Venky’s continue whatever they are doing). I think Bury is even more extreme and wouldn’t expect that level. 
 

All that has rattled them is being criticised. They either don’t think they are doing anything wrong or just don’t like it being pointed out. For me, it’s likely that they just continue to double down. Decision making seems to be getting worse, not better. 
 

I don’t even know who would take over and it is true that many clubs fan bases have gripes with their owners as such is football now that it is full of greed and many owners are rich for a reason and have made their fortunes in way that don’t make them great people let’s say. But you just want someone who will install the right people, football people, in the right positions. Be communicative as a club and just have back what Leicester City means. Nothing about this club is the one I fell in love with any more.

I believe he will only act when he is ridiculed on thai social media...

Making a fool of himself, not up to it ,   lacking the balls to change his advisors... out of his depth.

I can see and understand your viewpoint. 

 

Rudkin needs to go regardless... we have all debated this subject numerous times so we won't dwell any further on this point. 

 

You are correct we all want what's best for the club..but IMO I don't think Top and KingPower have it in them to improve.

 

Our woe's and the catalogue of errors are not a new thing, and they have continued to plague the club over a number of years.

 

Worse yet they are snowballing.

 

They lack the ability to learn (or are too arrogant to admit they are getting things wrong) as the same mistakes are being made over and over again.  Appointing crap managers, over spending, poor player acquisition, ludicrous contacts, dubious sponsorship deals, no communication with the fans, to name a few.

 

They had a wake up call  by getting off on a technicality on PSR and exploiting a loophole, but the sad thing is they HAD committed the crimes to warrant punishment then CONTINUED to do same things afterwards, hence the impending points deduction.

 

As I said, they just don't learn.

 

Surely after 6 or so years of getting it wrong they can see a pattern,(we as fan's do)  our current situation didn't pop up overnight.

 

 It's just incompetence over this span of time to let it get to this point after so may clues point out there are problems.

 

Sorry however much some wish for them to 'just improve' their track record and current actions don't leave me with any confidence they can.

Top is making decisions.

He has decided not to attend games.

He has decided to appoint a call centre manager with no football knowledge to run the club.

He has decided to stick with/ move upstairs John Rudkin.

He has decided to continue with shifty sponsors.

When’s the cut off point when you realise that he isn’t going to remove Rudkin and isn’t capable of making the decisions that we all want? 
 

he isn’t making those decisions. Therefore, he has to sell because we will continue to sink and sink. 
 

I honestly don’t know how you can have any faith in king power anymore.

First of you need to be factual.. in your long post above you have got a few things incorrect. I literally stand just behind them and never have I heard them lead the chants “we’re f shit”.  
granted sack the board however.. 

 

If you want to make a point of the Rudkin out chants, which a lot of the time comes from groups in the middle then what do you suggest? I’ll await on an answer. Seems to be too many people suggesting what not to do but clearly coming up with no other options.. So if you can’t be vocal then how else do you make your point known? Majority of the kp are silent, that’ll really show them.. 
 

The club is rinsing members for match day prices and people are paying top dollar to see a team who don’t care. So when they come over at the end, are you one of the ones who claps their efforts? They need to know if they ain’t playing for the shirt and their £60,000 a week they aint good enough.. honestly Sheffield Wednesday fans ain’t taking it, reading, Celtic of all teams, Luton will get antsy soon so why should we just lay down and accept being a yo-yo club fighting for relegation two years running.. 

 

Your right you can not police what every single fan sings nor would you want to. 

 

However a fan group that needs buy in from the fans around it when they do a Tifo or want to move a load of fans out of their seats to expand their section again should think carefully about pursuing actions which are clearly divisive amongst the fans.

 

If you spoke to 100 Wednesday fans about Chansiri or 100 Blackpool fans about the oystons they they would all say the same thing ask 100 city fans about king power and you would get 100 different view points on them. Our situation is complicated. Even The most rabbid anti ownership fan would still have to admit they have been by far the greatest owners in the clubs history. And the least negative fans towards the ownership would have to concede that it has turned into a complete shit show in recent times. 

 

I am not here to argue individual points or stick up for the owners I am just pointing out that this is a polarizing issue amongst fans and angry old boys having a go at Union FS is a product of that.

This is bang on the money and the main reason why imo things are unlikely to change 

under the current regime, deference is very much part of Thai culture.
