Before people start praising him for the Monga deal, it's going to take a hell of a lot more things going right for us to make up for the last few seasons at the very least.

 

That's if there's any redemption at all. Regardless, he needs to walk. 

Fully agree. The amount of money he has cost the club over the years is unbelievable.

 

Signing Monga on a ‘pre’ contract is good business, but doesn’t scrape the sides on filling the the money pit he has cost the club.

 

If he doesn’t walk this summer, he should be sacked or very worst case scenario be moved sideways to just focus on transporting the KP horses around the UK

More to the point whether people like him or not, Ruud is the main reason Monga stayed. The way he’s managed his minutes, looked out for his education and told him how important he is to the club.

 

Our board would have sat in silence and assumed he knows.

Ruud said he wasn't going to feature one week to playing him the next, seems more likely that it probably came from above Ruud to start playing him

I’m under the impression that Vardy got in him and his parents ears before his departure, swaying the decision.

Great News regarding the young lads new contracts,  just wondering if Rudkins actually seen the light regarding bigger clubs getting our young talent on the cheap ?

Not a very good analogy. Supporting a football team for many, is a big emotional attachment and is not something that is going to change because someone who doesn’t even support the team tries to put you down for showing support you and maybe your family, have had for decades. Supporting City didn’t begin with the Great Escape.. Getting back to your post, there are many other restaurants you could go to without any compunction of ditching the bad one. There’s no other team I want to support. Yes, there are times when they cause me great anger and times when great euphoria. If I want to complain about the club I will. It’s nobody’s business whether I do or not. As always, you have chosen to leave them but there are many of us who have a need and desire to support City. This seems to be something that former fans can’t grasp.

"As always...!"   Lol

 

Having supported LCFC for over 40 years, this is the 1st time ive felt so disillusioned with the way the club is being run that ive chosen not to invest any more money.....not quite sure how that equates to "as always..."??

 

Having stood on the terraces at the likes of Exeter and Oldham when we were absolutely s**t and getting beat in midweek games, im not exactly the kind of supporter who joined us after "the great escape"

The difference is that in those days, we were not necessarily s**t down to poor financial management, poor recruitment, player contracts etc.... it was because we were just a middle-of-the-road provincial club with no money and no way of recruiting better players. I had no issue supporting us when we were truly s**t on the basis it wasn't purely because the club wasn't being mis-managed by idiots who didnt care about the fans  

 

I dont class myself as a "former fan".....i class myself as a lifelong LCFC supporter who will always support LCFC, but one who now refuses to pay any more money while the club is being managed so badly by people whose only concern for their supporters is purely a on a financial transaction basis and who have absolutely no connection or engagement with their fan base.

 

I have no issue with anyone who loyally supports the club as you and many others do, in fact you have nothing but my total admiration.....but nothing will change as long as people keep paying their money so if you're happy with that outcome then so be it and i genuinely hope that next season brings you a lot more joy and euphoria than last season.

Spot on , it's one thing being shit because you just are, its another thing when it's all self inflicted .

I feel with the latest round of anger in the communication void thread we really do as a group need to up the ante. We need to go right up to the edge of but not step into criminality.
 

I’m talking a permanent presence outside Seagrave with a banner, I’m talking throwing dog shit at people, I’m talking mass protests at games (like boycotting the first 10 mins or whatever - worked well at Man City), I’m talking all out insurrection. We need to make it extremely unpleasant for the board. The odd ‘Rudkin out’ or ‘sack the board’ chant is not cutting through.

 

We are not being heard and basically we are being ignored. And not just the many who are frustrated and annoyed - not even the KP loyalists have had any meaningful comms about the relegation and future strategy.

Wonder if that C**T Stringer still defends the club and this parasite. Embarrassing rat and anyone that thinks like this can be grouped into that label!

Apologies for that sentence, the “as always” wasn’t meant to be there. You have your principles and have acted on those. In my case, the emotional pull from City, overrides any other inclinations. But people who choose to break from them, still can’t resist having a dig at those who stay, by saying nothing will change as long as others show support by attending matches. I think a relegation season and loss of a higher profile, which is down to the running of the club,, is far more responsible for this occurrence, than me paying my £15. per match. My support has always been with the players in a City shirt .

I think everyone's support is for the guys on the pitch.

 

No one can say nothing will change as we don't personally know the owners.

 

But I think it's safe to say with every seat having a bum on it change will take longer.

 

If we'd only sold 10k S/T they would have to listen and make changes.

Tha Cvnt must have a seriously thick skin to be oblivious to the amount of stick he's getting. If I was him, i'd be embarrassed and fall on my sword.

I agree with you......but my point is that if you go to eat in a restaurant that you know has very poor reviews and a reputation for food poisoning, you shouldn't really be surprised if you get food poisoning or poor value for money.

 

With LCFC, we all know what's happening before you buy your ticket so if you're happy to buy a ticket on that basis then go-ahead......but please dont complain unless you're actually prepared to do something about it and make some sacrifices

 

(PS  when you say a season ticket buyer has every right to complain.....who exactly are they complaining to because Foxes Forum are NOT the decision makers.....and no-one else is listening?)

 

Supporting your football club is absolutely nothing like that.

 

Your club is more like family to the majority of real fans, & that also doesn't stop you calling your own kid an annoying little sh*t at times

Post of the year. Totally agree, supporter for over 60 years and never been so disillusioned. Will always be loyal to Foxes but not a Happy Clapper and would like rid of this joke of a board

No you wouldn't, you'd wait to get sacked and negotiate a nice six figure settlement. 

[SemperEadem]

If it is Dyche then thats Rudkin even more firmly staying if it is true they are pals.

[Claudio Fannieri]

At what point does Top wake up smell the coffee and realise that he and Rudkin are no longer strategically aligned and this is having a huge influence in our decline. 
 

you cannot have a disconnect between the owner and the DoF they must have complete alignment in style, managerial appointments and long term strategy.

 

The appointment of Cooper and now favouring Dyche, clearly demonstrates Rudkin is no longer on the same page as Top and this is a huge concern, as we are now seeing this scattergun approach is impacting our playing squad and subsequently results and playing style on the pitch. 
 

For me now is the time for Top to overrule Rudkin appoint Rohl or his favoured candidate and take the tough but correct decision to remove Rudkin from post and replace him with a DoF who is aligned with  the strategy of the owner. 
 

This bizarre and misaligned approach is having a devastating impact and influence on player recruitment, playing style, player performance and most importantly results on the pitch. 
 

Rudkin simply cannot stay and the last 12-18 months prove that he is now no longer aligned to the owner.

I think rudders stays in role so long as Top remains Chairman………

 

Imagine it’s a bit of we have had a bit of bad luck (no one could have predicted Rodgers to implode, Enzo leave so soon) but will turn this around with time. Let’s keep the faith and stay the course.
