THE BOARD

Aha.  Turning on the board I see.  Agent Rodgers will be delighted.

Not turning on the Board and clearly Rodgers is to blame for the shitshow on the pitch, but the Board should not be devoid of criticism in any way just because of what has happened in our recent history. That's how a malaise starts.

Not all of us have this program, he needs to do a public statement not just in a booklet for match attending fans.

From my perspective though, the lack of action on Rodgers, brings Top into the discussion.

[Phenom]

The club as a whole seems to be in a spin cycle.

Rodgers is manipulating the situation.  He is managing to turn everybody on everyone.  I think Rodgers is to blame for everything on and off the pitch.  The board haven't been forthcoming with the way in which they have dealt with the situation but Agent Rodgers is making a bad situation even worse with his antics.

[kingston_fox]

Nah, not having this. The board has over seen the greatest period in our history and laid the ground work to a sustainable future - for me they have plenty of credit in the bank.

100%.

 

Sorry but for as much trust as they have earned, the silence has been deafening. 1 point from 5 games, bottom of the table, fans worried and upset. This is a time when a real leader rallies the troops and settles nerves. That comes as much from Top as it does from Rodgers.

A massive statement would be to clean house and get rid of Rudkin and any senior members of the staff related to the academy. Bring in a forward thinking talented DOF/Sporting director and academy director.

 

We're relying on people that have been promoted way above their means and basically riding on the good work Pearson did. Puel and Macia also did good work to help maintain it. Now we're backing a manager that sucks the life out of clubs, a DOF that's getting shown up and we're wasting all our investments into the academy by having dinosaur coaches and no path way to the first team.

 

The investing in infrastructure is spot on and definitely the right move and will stand us in good stead, we're just too loyal to people that aren't good enough in the roles we want them to be in. Which essentially makes the investment into infrastructure pointless.

 

The building blocks are there, we just need to make some brave and bold decisions.

Like the sort of shit my Dad would come out with when we'd had Kiev and beans for a whole month because he'd done all his bunce on piss and suede jackets.

Sure i’ve seen his supercar parked outside the  Grosvenor a couple of times, now you mention it.

They've dropped a bollock by not reinvesting much of the Fofana sale money into the first team squad. Totally understand that our wage bill is far too high for our revenue to cope with but to only spend 15 mill out of the 60 odd we got for Fofana could prove very costly. If the issue was not trusting Rodgers with the money then get him gone.

Rodgers called it after the forest game, the squad needed a refresh. If Rodgers is telling the truth and he wasn't told until returning to pre season that it wouldn't be happening then the Board very much have questions to answer and Rodgers has been hung out to dry. I happen to believe him cus if he was lying he would have been sacked by now

Can’t criticise them for the forward thinking nature.

We will have the best training ground in the championship by far.

 

Maybe we'll rent the training ground to Forest as we're skint

They need to take stock and reassess. They've undone a lot of the great work achieved over the last decade in the last 12 months or so. I think they've lost sight of what made us good.

[Swarles Barkley]

Tops message meant fvck all to me. We have a stable future but we can’t spend the fofana money? Why hasn’t  the amount been made available?

[Ashdav86]

Imagine there's a fair deal of panic in the upper echelons of the club tonight

 

Relegation has become a real possibility

[Pliskin]

I won’t be drawn into negative comments re the board. Up until last season no one would have uttered a word of negativity towards them, however when the chips are down a few will swing a right hook.

 

I’m behind the owners 100% they’re long term vision is exactly what this club need to be able to compete against the premier leagues elite. Last season we gambled on spending a bit more money, in an attempt to build a squad capable of consistently competing in Europe. However, Rodgers and Congerton ****ed it, they’ve hung the club out to fry and Rodgers expects sympathy….. On terms of blaming the board for that, the guy had just won the FA cup, so he was always likely to get given more say, it just turns out his suggestions were wank.

[Mr Weller 2]

People are so ungrateful. King Power have transformed Leicester City and made the impossible, possible which gives them a free pass from criticism in my book. One things for sure, with different owners we’d be in a far worse position.

It hasn’t really has it, we’re five games in, need a couple of good results to get us out of it.

 

11 or 12 games in is the time to get concerned but appreciate objectivness isn’t this forums speciality.

 

That said it’s looking pretty clear it’s not going to be a fun season. Can see us finishing bottom half. Which sacking the manager won’t change. 

[splinterdream]

I’d be happier to see Rudkin sacked than I would Rodger’s tbh, as well as others mismanaging the club allowing it to get to this point.

 

to think pundits were saying we’re a well run club.

I’m sorry, I know this is blasphemous as a Leicester fan but this is corporate waffle. I’ve signed off on plenty of this sort of bullshit. Your product is failing and we are discussing sustainability. Unacceptable performance from ALL departments since the FA Cup win.

No such thing as a “free pass” We’d be second tier without a FA cup win following that logic as Claudio would have been kept in post. The owners were brilliant in pushing the feel good factor at the club after the title win but let’s remember, that squad was assembled by the likes of Rudkin for less than a hundred million pounds. Far more to do with the operational staff than the owners. And Rudkin is getting far more flak than them even though we’ve been given zero money to spend.
 

Obviously it is what it is, this season will be tough but King Power as a company will recover and I imagine we will be well off the bottom in 7 games time. But everyone involved with the football club is accountable for how we perform.

Sacking Rudkin instead of Rodgers at this point isn't going to keep us up. That's not to say Rudkin isn't to blame for the situation we are in re unsustainable wage bill and inability to move fringe players on. 

[Guest Mee-9]

Get Dyche in.

 

He’d keep us up. He’d turn Soyuncu into a monster. 

[Mr Weller 2]

Yes there is, if the alternative is so much worse. Which other owners would you prefer? The Glazers? The Saudi blood money group behind Newcastle? A totally corrupt Abramovich?
