Protest needed

The apathy and acceptance I think boils down to the fact that he won us the FA Cup. So many fans feel uncomfortable showing animosity towards the man that finally gave us that trophy, despite the shambles that he’s overseen ever since.

It shouldn’t have got to the stage where things needed to turn toxic before the board might pull the trigger. We shouldn’t need to spend an entire season trying to whip up protests, knowing that’s the only way Top will let him go.

 

With Ranieri it was hard, but at least it never got to the stage where the fans were calling for his head.

Too many listen to Lineker, Savage, Soccer Saturday, Talksport etc. They believe what they are told. 

 

In any case, the board should do more. The fans shouldn't have to make it toxic.

10 mins into Chelsea. Walk out. For the whole game. Regardless of score or entertainment or however counter productive it may be. A clear visible, dignified sign of protest to the players, board, media and manager. 

 

 

Worse protest idea there is. Turn up, having paid money to do so, and leave. 
 

I suppose “good times and the bad we always back the lads” has gone now? Shit support.

Turn up having paid money to watch that dross with Rodgers still in charge, pissing money away regardless.

I’d rather support the players through this but each one to themselves. Ironic people calling for this are the ones that always bring up people leaving early “oh it affects the players”. We are done.

In terms of being noticed it probably draws the most attention, not particularly for or against it in terms of pros and cons.

It's kinda the point, bozo..

 

I pays my money ....and then a visible sign that I'm prepared to rinse away that money in order to show my protest.

Throwing money away in this current living crisis. And I’m the bozo.

So anybody else down to contribute to this plane banner?

That's the difference. You act for yourself. You want bang for your buck. 

 

Others prepared for a bit of personal discomfort in exchange for the collective good. 

 

It's partly why we have such a shite fanbase. Too many are in it for themselves; routine day out, few beers or a flask, leave 5 mins early to get home for ant and Dec.

So what’s your plan, continue to sleepwalk to the Championship?

We need to get behind the team in the stadium and create a really hostile atmosphere for away teams.

 

This is about Leicester City and staying in the premier league, it's not about getting a manager sacked in March with little chance of finding a decent replacement.

 

Rodgers can go in the summer but I personally think this late into the season, our best chance of staying up is with Rodgers at the helm with the backing of the fans and everyone supporting the team to achieve the goal. 

 

Nacho should have bagged a hatrick yesterday and the atmosphere around the place would be slightly different today.

[justfoxes]

maybe get some ideas from this ?

 

empty stadium till 20 min into the game the tennis balls !

What's with the flask obsession?

I liked the Blackpool tennis balls as a protest.

It's about so much more than that. It's the long-term effect of keeping the cancer that is Brendan Rodgers. Sack him and you almost certainly get the new manager/caretaker bounce. The players we have at our disposal are good enough to pick up 4 wins without any instruction. If do keep him and survive, he's not going to get sacked then either and next season will be an utter disaster meaning the club will be in serious financial trouble.

 

There is no scenario where Brendan staying as manager is our best option.

We could still get behind the lads if we protest with our feet empty stadium for the first 20min protest outside the ground so the board can hear us, then support the lads and vent our anger at Brendan during the remainder of the game keep the noise levels going surely then the board should take notice ?

What about throwing note pads onto the pitch Brendan will have enough then for his new club😉🙃

But it’s not throwing money away, it’s already spent whether you spend the game in the toilet or your seat.

Not this again!

When did the last one happen?

edit.. it didn’t

We have 1 player at our disposal to get out of this mess, Maddison. Hopefully he can inspire all the other shite around him. Nacho should have won it yesterday and that's not Rodgers fault.

 

I don't want Rodgers in charge either, if we do sack him then unless we can appoint a decent long term manager then I would rather  have a caretaker in charge, but I see that as a bigger risk to staying up.

 

It's already an end of an era of Leicester challenging for cups or European qualification but if we appoint someone like Benitez or a manager or a similar ilk then it's an even bigger long term decline on the cards.

They do know the traffic is currently one-way down that stretch, in the opposite direction due to the roadworks? Nobody's going to see it on that side of the bridge.

I’m amazed at how many people are clearly annoyed and clearly care, but aren’t willing to do a simple protest outside the ground/training ground which can’t be drowned out by the happy clappers and might actually get some attention. We have put zero pressure on the board.

 

It happens all the while at other clubs and particularly in other countries. Why do we not do it? Do people think it’s impossible?
 

I don’t understand the mindset. Have Union FS considered it with their influence and numbers? 

 

 I’d genuinely like to know why it hasn’t happened, because I’ve said several times that I’d join in. Even if we could just get 50-100 people one evening or Sunday morning or matchday morning it would make a difference.

Really? No scenario at all?

 

Scenario: Tim Sherwood.

Scenario: John Carver.

Scenario: Alan Pardew

 

There very much are scenarios where Brendan staying as manager is our best option.

 

(Which, before anyone starts, isn't to say there aren't scenarios where Brendan staying isn't our best option.)
