I know they do it for balance but that Helen talks absolute tosh. I'll probably be accused of being sexist but her takes are always way off the mark. 

Her name is Kate

I thought that Ian Carter was very good and summed it up well

Decent feature-length episode of the podcast called “The State of Leicester City”

 

Nothing revelatory, but some well-connected names in media circles around the club (Percy, Tanner etc) giving their take on the mess

 

Nice to see the media pile on continue. What fans are doing is working. 
 

This is why Project Reset wasn't a failure imo, because it highlighted the fact that there are issues to a wider audience, and when journos do their job and dig into why, then the issues get brought to the fore.

Correct.

 

However I also think people have to accept there is an alternative view, we live in an echo chamber here and it's going to take time to detoxify the bad blood. (Although clearly there are wrong un's as seen with the adult llama at Brentford home)

I noticed this the other week when she was on saying how good of a striker Andy King was... and how along with another top striker in Ruud they'd help our strikers...

I won't argue with most of the points raised which I'd think are where the issues stem from.  Mainly bad transfers and the strategy that went with it, leading to problems with financial compliance aka the rules.

 

What did seem to be glossed over (with the exception of using vestergard as a constant example) is the complete lack of desire or interest the players show out on the pitch, you'd think the players have nothing to do with our current predicament.

 

I think if the fans see just a glimpse of desire and effort things may start to change for the better.

 

If it were me I'd start removing some of the home comforts seagrave seems to offer, make life a little tougher for the players as right now they simply cannot do any worse than they are doing, so if they take the hump, so what - it may encourage a few to take a wage cut and a job elsewhere.

 

They can have some privileges back with they start showing they deserve it. It's the way we're going down that really angers me, not that we're going down

I agree,

 

But now details of the sorry mess are starting to bubble to the surfacewith the media, would you think a second 'Reset part 2' be of a benefit, just to keep, or even build the momentum and also hi-light to the club that "we are here and still Pi$$ed off with you" ?

I like radio leicester with Pipes on when he summarises the match. He seems to speak from the heart and I find I agree with a lot he says.

 

They seem to keep the fans and controversial comments at arms length though. I'd love the interviewer to ask Ruud some difficult questions for once. Not to be rude or disrespectful, but ask the questions that the fans want to ask.

I stopped listening as it was all so placid. I like Pipes but he would sit on the fence a lot and make excuses rather than constructive criticism.  Seems like that’s not the case now. I’ll give it a listen again. 

 

Owen Palmer (sp?) would ask Cooper simple questions we wanted the answer to but got the usual waffle back.  It would’ve been good to actually follow up and press him on them. 

[RoboFox]

This somehow slipped under the radar but Stowelly on yesterday's podcast all but confirmed the "Cambiasso masterminded the great escape" theory.

Piper is excellent on the post match pods the BBC put out.

Yeah he’s great, Fryatt and Stowell are woeful.

Stowell could be absolutely incredible with his recent insight into the club but for some reason constantly sits on the fence and very rarely says anything of substance for fear of stepping on the club's toes. He very occasionally hints at something, like when they were discussing the heirarchy's lack of communication with the coaching staff, and he quickly backtracks and qualifies it with "I can't really say anything." Why? You're not employed by the club, Mike and if you recall they sacked you. 

 

Fryatt is far too nice and just a bit dull, bless 'im.  

 

Appleton clearly hasn't watched any of our games this season, but for some reason they keep getting him back. 

 

Piper is great, but clearly hates the club at the moment like most of us with more than a room temperature IQ do. I don't blame him for doing less games. 

[Thebluefox85]

I feel as if they are holding back on their opinions and being apart of the  BBC doesn't help! Piper is the best on there and hes actually starting to rant abit which is good to see! every Leicester fan has a right to be angry atm! They should have the phone ins on more often would be comedy gold atm and actually cheer people up .

I find the post match show a good listen until they run out of ideas. Seem to manage about half an hour then they end up repeating some old WYS pod or tallkng about some women's tennis or something. A few seasons ago the post match show was a lot longer and had more discussion  Also they need to stop repeating the scores from other matches that happened a couple of days ago and the interviews of other teams managers. I don't want to hear the Forest manager or Arteta after we've been beaten again.
