SheppyFox Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 I’ll weirdly feel more connected, all the glory fan boy families will go away again hopefully and tickets will be readily available, we may even have an atmosphere next season.
CosbehFox Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 Walking around Leicester around 7pm last night was a sobering experience after four pints. People just looked done with the football. Party is over type vibe. Noticeable difference in our first few years of this top flight stint is that the city buzzed with the feeling of a match day. You knew a game was on. That’s slipped away, partly through covid. Yesterday had a big game feel in the stands and the balloon burst. 1
ronnup Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 What's the safety threshold this year do we think? It'll be low. 35 points possibly 1

Within English football yes but sadly history tells us that when a ‘provincial’ club pulls off a league title, that it doesn’t last and there’s normally disaster around the corner. Deportivo La Coruna - now third tier Kaiserslautern - now second tier after a spell in the third Verona - after 85, became yo-yo and then went down to the third tier Some examples 2

You need to get a new manager in asap and hope he gets them showing some fight. You have winnable home games and that's where your fate will be decided. 3
Tuna Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 So frustrating to see the likes of Wolves and Leeds pull away from the relegation zone having done what is necessary to change manager. 2

Yeah - Vichai was ruthless. He didn't hesitate to fire Ranieri at the slightest chance of relegation. Sadly, Top's been too indecisive and it's cost us dearly. 1

Not just provincial clubs that end up in a terrible state.

Ashy2165 Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 Perhaps the owners want relegation. Realistically to go back to being a top half table club we need to buy 2 strikers, a winger, 2 midfielders, 4 defenders and a goal keeper. the owners don’t want to invest 400M in the club and if we go down then it takes the pressure off them because the fans won’t be expecting Mbappe, Neymar and Lewandowski.

Doubtful. The market value of King Power’s investment will take a hit from relegation. Think it’s just poor governance by the LCFC Board. 1

Rossiter Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 Mathematically still all to play for but yesterday was utterly abysmal. If the players can turn it around that would be fantastic but from what I saw on the pitch yesterday it looks beyond them. Maybe a game without gift wrapping the opposition goals would be a start....we need teams to gift us some to restore some balance in the universe. 2
drew Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 If you think any of those gutless cvnts will turn it around you're living in cloud cuckoo land. They will all be onto their agents to get moves. The rot is so bad that the club needs a clean sweep "top" to bottom. 1

How could any owner want relegation? The fall in revenue is impossible to recover. The wage cost for our current playing staff alone could see us facing administration again when we were in the championship. 1

Half the squad are off or out of contract, the wage bill will be substantially lower.

fuchsntf Posted 9 April 2023 Posted 9 April 2023 I believe we had gone after Southampton..but Hope shines Eternal …so long as there is a game & points (even GD) that gives us that chance..& shithousery to the most undeserving..

Something our club and the only club that hasn’t shown since WCup. can we grab points..where unexpected,there is no reality in football, so need to play ´with´ the football gods, but what’s the use of doing anything if We throw Amartey & Soumare into the selection.. where do we find 39-41pts. Without finding that Kampfgeist…struggling for 30-31pts . N.Forest. B’mouth. Everton Leeds. Man.city. 0. 0 pts. Manutd. Spurs. Fulham. L’pool Wolves. 1 3. L’pool. W.ham. Palace. Fulham Leeds. 3. 3.
