What percentage of blame do you apply to those responsible for our demise?

[Ric Flair]

I think it's fair to say that it's not just one person or one area that is responsible for us going from being the envy of almost every club in the country to being bumrushed out the PL.

 

We remind me of these cheeseburger pasties they sell in petrol stations in South Africa. Look the absolute bollocks, taste the absolute bollocks and then you can't remember how or why when you've had the squits for 3 weeks straight. 

 

Keeping it simple between manager and manager employed staff and club employed staff and directors/board/owners, I think its Rodgers 40% and the club 60%

 

What a disaster. Even a miraculous 2 wins in the next 3 and we somehow stay up, without serious changes across the board and many other areas on and off the pitch, we're gone next season anyway.

[Finnegan]

>=75% Rodgers. 

[Stadt]

Change my mind constantly but any of Top, Rudkin and Rodgers are the most culpable on any given day. On the non-footballing side Whelan.

[Corky]

40% each for Rodgers and the board, 20% for the players.

[yorkie1999]

73.2%

[StanSP]

75% Rodgers

20% Top and senior hierarchy 

5% players 

[ClaphamFox]

A cultural malaise has set in since the death of Khun Vichai. His force of personality, business acumen and ruthless streak meant we were a very well-run club. In his absence there seems to be a vacuum at the top of the club - nobody has the character to take things by the scruff of the neck and make tough decisions when required. This lack of leadership at the top has filtered down to the playing side - it took a few years following the helicopter crash for it to happen, but it's been on the cards for a while.

[VictorFox]

80% Rodgers 20%Top

[cropstonfox]

50% Rodgers

25% each Top/Rudkin for not recognising

the fraud/imposter/incompetent.arrogant twit.

[CrazyKopCorner]

40% / 60% in Rodgers favour is extremely generous. 

 

He's bought absolute shite (no need to name), not used his squad and nurtured some of the players are clearly capable but have had hard time - Kelechi, Cags, not brought any youth through at all and also completely lost himself up his own jaxie in terms of the style and system of play which did not fit the players he selected. Throw in some bizarre substitutions, utter nonsense - hot days, bigging up the opposition including their crowd (what's that about) etc etc and it's an absolute relegation recipe. 

 

I'd go as high as 90 / 10 - a half decent manager would have had us mid table 

[winteriscoming]

60% Rodgers. Not playing your best cb and gk is shocking. Iversen and Soyuncu should of started majority of the season. Starting Ward and Amartey cost us points. 
40% the owners for believing the bull shit Rodgers was coming out with and should of got rid a lot sooner.

He was terrible but was allowed to be, therefore the board should take equal blame. Plus the general running of the club.

[Oldfox67]

Quite obviously 42

[Pliskin]

Top carries the can, as he is the boss. But the team he has around him are as useful as a chocolate fire guard. 
 

The board collectively, are responsible for being so blaze about us that they’ve let us sink into this shit hole. So the main portion of the blame lies with the board. 
 

Rodgers carried some of the blame too, because it’s abundantly clear a conversation was had a some point about transfers, which Rodgers didn’t like. So Rodgers basically threw the towel in and gave up. He’s wanted out since the FA cup win, and he’s been so blatant about it. 
 

Basically, we’ve been used and abused and now we’re like a dirty Jonny that you find in a car park that’s been trampled on and covered in the muck off the gutter. 
 

Top should come out and issue an apology to all of us, sack those around him, and then look to sell the club, because he’s incapable of running it. 

[AKCJ]

I would say that Rodgers, Top and Rudkin each share a 33% blame.

 

Rodgers' ego. Rudkin's incompetence. Top's negligence.

Would probs agree 60/40. however do think the players need to be held accountable for some of the performances and lack of fight we have seen. 

 

As much as the majority wanted Rodgers out and he himself probably wanted to leave, who in their right mind will leave a job that pays 200k a week? they showed far too much loyalty to BR and left it way too late which has resulted in the mess we are in now. 

 

Most of us saw this coming 18 months ago and I cannot get my head around how a bunch of loyal Leicester fans on a forum can see what an owner and board of directors can't. It makes me sick and for that reason I think if we have any hope of bouncing back up and establishing ourselves as a solid PL team again we need a serious re shuffle at every level from academy right to the top (pun not intended) 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Rodgers 30% - used his success to extract way too much power and influence over key aspects of the club, that were performing well, to massage his ego and in due course has destroyed a lot of what we were good at and started the rot 

 

Rudkin 20%  -  should have seen the danger signs and used his relationship and position at the club to reign Rodgers in and prevent some of these catastrophic decisions from being made. 
 

Top 50% - completely blinded by Rodgers and allowed personal relationships cloud his professional judgement and the ramifications will be huge as a consequence. Whilst the two above are responsible for football operations, you don’t have to be an expert to see the damage and the consequences of the decisions of the 2 buffoons were having on our performances and results, however to not step in and take decisive action is absolutely criminal and therefore as the custodian of the club he  has to shoulder the highest proportion of blame. He had the power to put an end to this 18 months ago and continued to do nothing. Absolutely shameful. 
 

I just hope whatever happens at the end of this season, Top grows a massive pair of bollocks and cleans out the trash and the hangers on who have facilitated this epic fall from grace and potentially put the entire fabric and well being pf our club at risk. 
 

 

[TrentFox]

I hold you, @Ric Flair, 💯 responsible. For everything. The demise of our club, the war in Ukraine, third world debt, pestilence, famine. The whole shooting match! And all because you told us Daka was good 😖😂

He knew he was trusted and played on it with his BS - held the club to ransom with his payoff - stupidity on the clubs behalf but 2 Top 4's and an FA Cup was a reasonable smoke screen as to the underlying shambles he was overseeing. 

 

As I say all things being equal if he'd have done half of his job we'd have been safe 

[bovril]

Top 30

Rodgers 35

Rudkin 15

Players 20

[adejo92]

100% Top.

 

If he had saw what everyone else saw all those months ago then Rodgers would never have been allowed to stay and destroy the club like he did.

[Vindaloo FOX]

100% Richie Wellens

[Haywood_6]

Top and The Board 60%. At the end of the day, they let Rodgers stay in charge after 7 straight defeats at the start of the season. I think we conceded 22 goals which was a record in a premier league season. Any other owner would of shown him the door. We might not be in this position now if they'd of acted sooner.

[sacreblueits442]

...you have got to say 100% Khun Top!!!

Rodgers does not come away from this smelling like roses in my scenario, but no matter how poor and poisonous Rodgers was, and he was, Khun Top had the opportunity to shut it down at anytime, and he chose not to do so.

[bovril]

Playing squad is not great but the fact we're still only two points adrift underlines how easily we could've survived without constant, basic mistakes and lack of professionalism.
