I see now you're saying it would be irrelevant because nothing would happen even if they did. Anyway, I just hope Top makes a move this week and puts an end to it. If he survives the loss V Bournemouth it really does show that Top is in for the long haul with him which is frightening. 1
Popular Post HitchinFox Posted 10 October 2022 Popular Post Posted 10 October 2022 Let's be honest, for those of us who have been around long enough to remember the pre-Premier League era, the current malaise is nothing new. So it's easy for us to say that "oh well, here we go - back to the Championship". And there's some justification in that attitude. If you take into account history and our size. However. Look at Man City. Again, those of us who have been around for a while remember how that side of Manchester were pretty similar to us. Few decent finishes in the top flight, a couple of cup runs, accompanied by a visit to the third tier. In fact, with our two League Cup wins, you could argue that we were slightly more successful between 1980 - 2008 (when they were taken over). So I understand that there's a temptation to think that we should simply be happy to have achieved what we have (title, FA Cup etc. ) and our new target should be mid-table/to stay up each season. And if that doesn't happen, "hey ho, back to our level". I understand it, but I won't accept it. And none of us should. We should demand more. We have an amazing owner and some truly first-class players. We have a world-leading training centre and some very ambitious plans for our stadium. The club has put Leicester on the map and the club's links to the community and the city have probably never been stronger. So no. We shouldn't be happy with purely survival each season. We aren't the Leicester of old. A page has been turned by Khun Vichai and Top. We should be achieving more and we should demanding more. That doesn't make us entitled. Arsenal fans crying about not finishing in the top 4 each season is entitled. Us thinking that we can become a top 10 Premier League team with the occasional push for European football and a cup run is far from that. In short – results must improve. Rodgers has to go. We must demand it. Whether it makes any difference or not isn't the point. Let's not get into this "oh well" mode. We are bigger than that now. We introduced the term "doing a Leicester" not just to the English football lexicon, but the global sporting language. Support the club. Support the team. But protest against any and all of the reasons that prevent us from fulfilling our new potential. And for me, that is currently, sadly, Rodgers. 11 1

Muzzy_no7 Posted 10 October 2022 Posted 10 October 2022 Said it a couple weeks back, our fan base simply hasn’t got this sort of thing in them. If it isn’t clapping along to the Black eyed peas or moaning as to how hot or cold we are, 95% of City fans don’t wanna know. 1
suffolk fox Posted 10 October 2022 Posted 10 October 2022 You only have to look at a large proportion of our away following, who do go all the time. Vast majority of them are over 65. Showed the away end briefly on motd and embarrasing as it was the amount of old uns in their was staggering. No way on earth would any of them demonstrate at any level. 1

Had a look at uniteds away end yesterday at goodison and it’s full of middle aged lads who you can tell like to sing and look like they want to be there. Probably a reason why they have one of the best away fans in the country.

Plus throw in the fact the the most obvious group to get anything like this off the ground would likely receive pelters and further stick to what it at times already gets.

They are there because they have been supporting us forever and a day put in the hard yards and been with us when we were £hite. How you can possibly question what they will or won't do amazes me, I guess you must be about 16 and have never really travelled before. Absoloute clown. It's not your club, it's our club. 1

Read my post again. I am not having a go at all. I love it when people like yourself jump to decisions when no insult has been implied or intended. I was stating a fact. Vast majority of our away following are over 65. I commend anyone who has followed us through the years, re the bad times and good. Its obvious though that persons of this age would not be up for a protest. Please dont jump to conclusions re what the writer thinks it makes you look well salty.

And let's face it if you are in your thirties with two or three kids and a big mortgage you don't usually have much of that. Its a bit of a stereotype though that older people are more accepting , some of the most argumentative , vocal and angry people I have met have been old.
adejo92 Posted 10 October 2022 Posted 10 October 2022 It's really not rocket science. A banner with Rodgers Out, and a few people marching behind chanting, would soon spread throughout social media and it would most certainly reach those that matter if that's what people want. Whilst probably an unpopular opinion, I think Rodgers Out chants need to ring even if we are winning against Palace. The rot is set so deep, all a win would do is paper over cracks and prolong the sage - just like the Forest match. This isn't anything new. We have had a woeful run almost every season Rodgers has been in charge, only difference this time is its at the start of the season, not the end. 1

It's not a dig at anyone, not sure why you're acting as if its a personal attack. The fact of the matter is all you have to do is look at our away ends we put out and it is evident that the age demographic of our match going fans is over the age of 65 which is different to other clubs who have good atmoshpheres.
