Least enjoyable season?

A bit like Python's four Yorkshiremen sketch but trust me 1978 was worse. "We used to dream of having eight wins."

We'd been a fairly stable mid-table team under Jimmy Bloomfield when Frank McLintock took over. He increased the average age by about 10 years, brought in a load of his old Arsenal team mates and....oh dear. We even lost to Portsmouth in the first League Cup game, and Walsall in the second FA Cup game.

"We'd be 20 NIL down before we'd even kicked off, have 15 players sent off, an't referee would award a penalty against us every 10 minutes. Aye and police would thrash us with us scarf on't way owt."

Seriously it was worse. One commentator actually queried if we'd had our name changed by deed poll to "Leicester City NIL."

In a family of Leeds fans, I adopted this club in 1974, and I've seen 2 League Cup wins, an FA Cup, and a Premier league title. If I'd stayed with Leeds I'd have seen one title. If I'd picked Newcastle, I'd still be waiting for anything. It's what we do, win the second division/Championship. We'll be back!👊

Agree about 1978. That was the worst in the top flight followed by Taylor in 2001 02. The worst overall has to be the drop to the third tier on 2008.

That was my first real season as a 6 year old - I'd ask enthusiastically every week 'Have we won dad?'  ........... erm no son Birmingham beat us 5 - 1 ! 

 

Reminds me very much of this season 

I remember us being hammered 5-1 at Leeds and the guy on the tannoy said "is there anybody here from Leicester?"

Silence. I don't think there was. I was in the Leeds end with my dad. 🤦

The biggest problem is that with how we’ve been over the last few years, you’d not expect us to have been this poor. A good friend of mine always said “Don’t expect anything, then you can’t be disappointed”.

What a crap thread. I can’t believe how many snow flake, up their own backside fans we have.
 

Yes it’s been a horrendous season, it’s all gone wrong, BR stayed too long and the transfers in over the last two years have been shocking. However, the support has been poor this year, people around me slagging off our players inside a minute if they make a mistake. Only decent support away when we have been losing was at Leeds. 
 

Our fans have created a toxic environment down at the KP looking to pounce on every error. I’ve been going since 62/63 and the fan base is the most judgemental and unforgiving I’ve ever experienced. 
 

The last five months have been the worst for many years, but if you leave early or boo the team in their hour of need, don’t call yourself a true blue. I know I’ll get slated by all you keyboard warriors, but I ain’t bothered. I’ll be at Newcastle next week cheering the lads on while all you lot are slagging them off. 

Really?

 

If we were toxic then it's likely Rodgers would have been hounded out a long time ago and we might not be in this mess. Fulham away was the first time it's properly turned on them, and that's probably the game which relegated us in all honesty.

 

We've been way too nice rather than hostile. If fans were directing their anger towards the board and the club rather than those who were saying Rodgers out, things might have been different.

 

We're way too passive as a fanbase, we'll happy clap going down to the Championship after these lads have earned millions and we've spent thousands following them.
