Top Statement

[Trekerz]

FFS, multi millionaire gets his feelings hurt over a few abusive comments. And all the people buying into his sympathy act are as stupid as the people who put us in this situation in the first place.

Again though, this is just a be careful what you wish for statement.

 

What good is Top if the wrong decisions are constantly made? You could have Man City levels of money and investment but if they're being spent poorly, with constant bad decisions, you won't get anywhere.

Agreed. As I said in the post before that he has to sack Rudkin and appoint a new DOF and manager within the next week or 2 max. The ideal scenario would be Pearson, Walsh as DOF if we can get him back from the states and Shakespeare stay as assistant. Then he will have people telling him how it is and not blowing smoke so his decision making is limited as those 3 can crack on. He just has to make money available.

😂😂😂 the history pre KP is nothing in comparison. 

 

We were a penalty kick and 90mins away from the PL - correct, we didn't achieve it did we 

So how does a club what wins the league and cup get relegated within 3 years of winning the latter? It just makes Top’s period in charge look worse 

[Pliskin]

I don’t really care for statements. As they’re never going to be what we as fans want. 
 

What I care for is actions…. I’m expecting us to make the right decisions, and win the championship next season in record breaking fashion. I’ll accept nothing less. 

[foxy boxing]

He may be out of his depth running the football club and has clearly made a lot of errors and bad decisions and has trusted people like Rudkin who have turned out to be incompetents but he nor anyone else deserves personal abuse. His family have put a lot of money into the club and there have been so many good times and memories to look back on. Things clearly are not working out how they are at present and he may well be looking to sell the club but yes criticise him for his poor decisions and running of the club but don't make things personal and threatening for people running the club. Yes as fans we are angry, annoyed and depressed how things are going but abuse and threats of violence are never the answer.

Did Leeds' and Everton's owners release a statement seeking sympathy for the ten tonne of shit that came their way yesterday?  Thought not.  They wouldn't dare.

 

This is basically a written version of the head shake.  How dare you criticise me.  Obviously surrounded himself with yes men his entire life with nobody at the club there to advise and stop him from making dumb decisions/indecisions.  It's an embarrassing statement.

 

But thanks for creating further divides in the fanbase Top.  Maybe you forget to add the bit about how you plan on fixing this mess and unifying us around a positive vision.

 

Or maybe it's time you let someone else have a go.  Looks like you still have plenty of sycophants to massage your ego. 

 

 

Everton’s Chairman did months ago and the reaction is that he now can’t go to ground on police advise

Do people genuinely believe we're gonna be winning the league next year?

 

I appreciate this is probably said in jest but seen quite a few say it now. Surely no-one is being serious

I'm being completely serious. I expect promotion immediately and convincingly.

The great thing about that group and that turn of phrase is that they were saying it about a year ago when people were saying Rodgers needed sacking.

 

“Be careful what you wish for guys, we could get the wrong guy and end up back in The Championship”

He's basically said let the club do what they want to do (Ok, I somewhat agree - We can't really do anything about that) and then get behind them no matter what, "like we did under Rodgers", exactly the reason why we're in this position.

 

He's basically said nod and agree, clap along, don't have an opinion. KPFC OK.

[The Doctor]

words are meaningless kid, any action now is a year late and £100m short but it needs to get done. No congratulating yourself about the last 9 years because that's gone up in flames because of the mismanagement you've presided over

[Durnerz]

I think going into detail about the abusive messages is a little unprofessional. Just "some positive, some negative" would have sufficed. It doesn't make me feel sorry for him. Despite being eternally grateful for everything Top and his family have done for this club we can't just stand and admire the accolades while we plummet back to square one.

 

 

[Nugent]

Pathetic statement that continues to push the narrative that we’re little old Leicester and should be grateful to have even played in the Premier League, let alone won it. A narrative that’s been created and pushed by our own spineless fans and the likes of Lineker. 

[Happy Fox]

No accountability , sorry Top you are not up for the job. Time to sell up whether it’s this season coming or next season.

I've just reread it and it speaks volumes for what is missing!

 

The staff are not mentioned at all.

 

We still have just finished a season, shouldn't the staff be thanked for all their hard work (non-playing).

Shouldn't he at least be trying to say the players gave it their all

Shouldn't he be saying things like although Smith came in at a tough time I appreciate his efforts

 

It is just a list of achievements, which although is great does not prepare us for the future

He also didn't need to make the statement about negative comments... all players, public figures get them, he should not be receiving offensive messages, but concentrate on the positive support the club does get.

 

Now we wait to see when the preparations for next season begin to see if we have actually learned any lessons

Given that about 50% behind the scenes will lose their jobs tomorrow morning, yes he absolutely should have mentioned more about the hard working everyday staff who have to rely on millionaires and career dossers to keep their jobs safe…

[Mickyblueeyes]

He’s released the entire statement because he’s had his feelings hurt. Wanted to make it known, slightly childlike. 

I worry for us with him there. No accountability whatsoever. 

 

 

[Hales]

As someone else said - no mention of the staff, players, Dean smith, JT and CS? All about him? It's weird

No apology, no admission of any mistakes or plans to rectify them.....

 

Not great at all Top.

“A year for collaboration and unity”

 

Deano is staying isn’t he…. 

[Corky]

Just a nothing statement. We need to hear about finances, manager search, squad overhaul and changes behind the scenes. I know what we've done and it is totally irrelevant to the present day.

He might not be up for the job but he can hire someone who is, this is what he must do now.

[Legend_in_blue]

He's in an impossible position with regards to what he writes or says.  Someone somewhere will find holes.

 

What matters is how we react on the field of play next season.  That's where it counts.

I know. I don’t think he needed to spend 2/3 of it reminding us what has happened over the last 10 years. We just want some indication that he will make good decisions and has a plan, not something written by a public relations firm.

Blatant attempt to divide the fanbase and paint those that offer criticism as outsiders and trouble makers

...just keeping it real!!!

 Potter made a statement regarding death threats that he was receiving,  celebrities often get these and report them to the authorities, he is stating what the fallout has been.

  I maintain as the person who had the power to remove Rodgers at anytime, he carries the responsibility for our predicament. 

[smudger63]

Very uninspiring statement that!

Didnt give me any confidence going forward.

 

 

[WinslowFox]

That statement is so uninspiring.
 

I’m more worried than I was yesterday.

 

We waited 20 hours for that?!

I read the statement twice before realising that whatever he said would wind me up in his defence.

 

HOWEVER, like you said the most important part is what action he takes behind the scenes.

 

It’s all rotten and too comfortable at every level in the club right now and if that doesn’t change then we’ll continue to drop like a dead weight.

 

I can’t believe what Piper said during yesterdays’s post match section about Rodger’s having to ask the players to take their plates back etc….entitled little *****.
