Is it time for Top to sell?

[WanOak]

Vichai treat LCFC and the community like the closest most beloved relative. 

Top doesn't feel imo like he's a 100% in at LCFC and I've thought this for a while. 

Is it now time for him to admit he can't commit to or run us like Vichai and sell?

There is. Or use the Top thread.

Yes, it is. But who would buy it in its current state?

Someone that wants to asset strip the place, sell everything off and watch it collapse into oblivion. 
 

We need to be mindful on what we wish for.

Bump. 

[Lako42]

Should have been there tonight to enjoy the fruits of his or his mug managements decision to hire a manager forest sacked. 

 

He should have lapped up the relentless piss taking we all had to from the away end. 

 

It's like him and his underlings are actually trying to make ****tarded decisions one after another.

Weird they weren't there for the anniversary of the crash.

A fan-owned consortium, or wouldn't that work in tne PL?

We just need 400 million fans to chip in a pound each.

Imagine being fan owned with the posts seen on here

We'd have 4 managers and 7 different directors of football every season.

Probably go through 30 defenders as well, as every time we concede a goal we would need to replace one.

It's certainly time for a fresh approach in the DoF role at least it's been stale for years

I thought that.

 

Gotten used to Top attending fewer and fewer games over the years more so now that he's started a family himself but you'd have thought the rest of the family or at least his brother would have been there to represent them.

 

It's making it less and less of a surprise when the Purple Bricks board goes up outside of the ground.

 

As for being fan-owned, about 30% of our fans don't even own their seat for 90 minutes let alone chip in to their hobby club.

He’s just had twins - anyone who’s had a baby knows in those early days it’s a battle to get 5 mins alone in the bathroom never mind trips across the world! Whether he’s a billionaire or not he probably wants to spend a bit more time with his mrs and kids, rather than watch Chris Wood rip us a new one.

Yes

Bloke clearly can’t run the club anymore. He's absent. If he can’t commit what he used to then he really needs to step away.

He doesn’t run the club. He provides the funds and outsources all football related decisions to Rudkin and business to Whelan.

The fact that he allows such incompetent people to run the club is his fault.

Only if the new owners can continue the good work…..more coconut rolls, mince pies, clappers and chang.

He’s a financier - whether he is sitting 🪑 n the stands at games or not makes no difference, he is in charge of hiring and firing the correct people though and he doesn’t need to attend games to do that. 
 

I think we can all agree that is where the issue is.

Yeah, I don’t really get the obsession with him not being at games.

Wait they're handing out chang at the games?

[davieG]

Changing owners won’t necessarily affect what’s happening on the pitch that much. A new team under him to work with the fans more could change that relationship. It certainly won’t stop all the poor phases of play and silly errors. 
 

The biggest change to any club these days, sadly is more money to spend on better players a new owner can’t put money in easily. A new commercial management team to generate more income and a better management of our player turnover is what’s needed.
