For me the least enjoyable season was always 2000/01 with Peter Taylor. After the highs of O'Neill's management we really came down crashing down to earth, right from the first game.

 

But even that was a joy compared with this year.

 

I don't think I've ever seen such a lazy, feeble and pathetic Leicester side, month after month.

This season is still better than watching a Claude Puel team :scarf:

I pray you're joking

Weirdly I felt quite connected to the club when Puel was manager. The connection wasn't so much with him and the football for the most part was dreadful to watch, but I could really see what the the club was trying to do in terms of a change of playing style, player recruitment and promoting youth players. I appreciated that we at least had a vision. He had to go in the end but what we have now is far worse.

Yeah we've had far worse teams talent wise but never such a spineless bunch before

Totally agree. I still maintain that he did an admirable job here under difficult circumstances

Yes. At least the championship doldrums we had players who were wank on paper and on the pitch, not just the latter

 

Plus we didn't have a thoroughly dislikeable twat who put himself ahead of the club for 80% of the season. 

 

An utter disgrace all round

Nah, we were top for a bit in 00/01 and started brilliantly, we didn't lose until October. Finished terribly though (inc Wycombe) and was clear we were sinking – but the season after started with a 5-0 defeat to Bolton and was the unmitigated disaster

Unfortunately it's what is expected when you rely on a 36/37 year old striker to pull you through. Daka was either unsuited or not trained enough to replace Vardy. Nacho could only do so much. He tried. 1 left winger and half a right winger results in no incision. Madders did as much as he could (pre WC). Defence was left to rot by Brodge. Cags being our most reliable (yet rash) CB being hung out to dry. No ****ing money to spend on transfers, or at least panic buying when there was a few pounds. No youth being tried whatsoever. 

 

Really really REALLY bad decisions from the boardroom down. Gutting of the processes that made us successful in the first place.

At least in that season it was clear Taylor had bought shite and we'd lost a player that was so important to the team in Lennon. The players still appeared to give a shit they were just tactically inept

This has truly been the Season from Hell.

 

Just when you think this team can’t possibly find any new ways of hurting you, they do. Own goals, missed penalties, conceding last minute winners, losing to ten men, brainless substitutions, boring sideways football, no shots on target, failing to defend leads, always conceding first, no clean sheets, goals gifted by sloppy passes, endless new entries in the ever-obliging Leicester City thread etc etc…

 

And it will all end in the horror of relegation.

 

Least enjoyable season ever? Definitely. I can’t think of any others that heaped on so much misery in so many different forms.

The stoke relegation game was the worst feeling I had. I was 21 years old and felt so gutted. I remember going to the bus after the game I was first to arrive and just sitting there feeling miserable

 

This season I've done that 22 times. My wife and kid know to give me my space when I'm watching at home.

yeah youre right I meant 01/02 starting with (newly promoted) Bolton and that tw@tting. This season was worse than that for me.

Puel was a great manager for the 6 days a week we weren’t playing

 

Terrible on the seventh though 

 

The run when he first came in was really good but he never seemed to recover from the Mahrez deadline day incident

Dropping into league 1 was worse for for me tbf 

Yeah that relegation hurt a lot. There was that sinking feeling of 'is this us now? Will we ever get out of this league?'. This relegation sucks but we are getting relegated to a league to which we have spent about half of our existence. It's not a new low for us.

I struggled to get to the game when it was snowing against Middlesbrough and still went. 
 

But this is the most disconnected I’ve ever felt from the club. What makes it worse for me is this could have all been avoided but Top shook his head at us instead.

For me in my 30 years supporting the club that's my least enjoyable season. The feeling of disconnect between the club and the fans, the reluctance to sack that turd of a manager and the lack of passion from the players has been truly nauseating. Shame on everybody involved 

Its a hard one to take, ive seen a couple of shockers in my 45 years of following my beloved City but what makes this harder is your point about the disconnect. I agree 100% its something ive never really felt, not even during Hamilton, Pleat, League 1 downers. Have never felt so on the outside of the club i love.

Ever since I have started supporting us I have never left a game early unless I had to until the 2nd half of this season

 

Usually it has been around 90 minutes when the added time board goes up - no point in sticking around to clap them off etc. etc.

 

Today we didn't even last until then, started to leave as Salah went through to miss his chance in about the 80th minute

 

Quite a few around us that I know have been staying to the end even during this crap got up and left as well

Need a player cannon

Reminds me of a joke from Futurama which could be a useful negotiating tactic for contracts in the summer
