OK, so I know a lot of people will see the title of this thread and sigh, but, genuinely - is it time?

 

We've seen the best of times as a club under the current ownership, which we can all appreciate, but the last few years have grown a general lethargy, seen the decline of club and club identity and coupled with the obvious growing disinterest from those at the top can we now rightly have a proper discussion about ownership - what we want going forward, how can things be rectified etc?

 

It's all well and good having Cooper-out threads but we all know the real problem runs deeper than him, it's time to be honest about it without the 'we owe Top and Vichai everything' mentality that's persisted well beyond its use-by date. 

 

What do people currently expect from the club? What needs to change at board or ownership level? Is it genuinely time to sell up?

 

Discuss.

Why don't you buy the club?

Didn't know where to put this, regarding recommended American investment possibility throughout the leagues.

"The product they produce in the big four sports... If they can bring that entertainment product here, and they have the know-how to commercialise and monetise sports assets, it will be fascinating."

 

I for one welcome our new American overlords.

Even if we get new owners they won't be able to put more money into the club. With Top we have someone who is willing to finance us.

The problem is the management of the club. I would start by giving the whole place an overhaul and getting in footballing and finance people. Look what those people who brought Newcastle did for them! Yes they are backed by a multi millionaire, and then sum, but the structure of the club in terms of management is great.

The Chief Financial Officer at Newcastle joined them in the summer of 2023 having spent the previous 12 years as Finance Director at LCFC

Would love to.

Just do it then. That's what Vichai did. He put his money where his mouth was.

You two lines contradict slightly while your point is valid. Investment into clubs is restricted by the current rules as illustrated by Newcastle.

Great! Look forward to better times at the club with you in charge. 

Super, the first thing I'm going to do is sack Rudkin and Wheelan so hopefully you will see an immediate change for the better.

How many influencer friends do you have?

 

If you can't fill a bus with them at "The end of season parade of best influencers (we've never heard of) of the season [tm]", then, frankly, I'm dubious as to your credentials.

Unfortunately, I think we've got another season and a half of the current situation.

 

 

The financial rules (FFP/PSR), and the club will blame the financial rules, mean that we need to get out of this mega-debt 3-year cycle. So they'll batten down the hatches from a financial point of view, go with the bargain manager and loaning in star players, until we're out of it.

 

Then we can rebuild.

 

I guess the thing is us fans want to see a rebuild now, we want to see a club with a plan and an identity.

 

But who is going to invest in a club that is riddled financially, has two league organisations breathing down its neck (EPL & EFL), and has a bunch of morons running the thing?

Who’s fault is this Rudkin or Top not being able to juggle between KP LCFC & Leuven, so therefore giving Rudkin far too much power at city.

I’m sure this definitely would not be run this way if Vichai  ( god rest his amazing soul ) was still with us, the board need to see that Cooper is over his head at City and remove him asap, yes it’s going to cost a few quid but not as much In Lost revenue and forthcoming punishment and Sanctions that oh boy they are waiting to hit us with if we drop back down to the EF.

Time to bite the bullet now time to save our Premier League safety and not think oh well there’s 3 more worse teams below us we’ll be fine .

WE FUCHING WONT Leicester sort out this schitt now before it’s far too late we don’t need new owners we need the ones we have having a complete overhaul and stop giving Rudkin far too much decision making in the club !

Absolutely time. An ownership that indulges a DOF that spends money on Jordan Ayew and Oliver Skipp are negligent and need to go. 
 

If this continues KP will leave us in a worse state than they found us.

Many in the fanbase will say "be careful what you wish for" and "we were in League One once", well the club is going to be there again in a few years at this rate. They've shown no signs of learning any lessons and the future of the club is going to be nothing but decline until they sell up.

Its time, but I think the family will have a hard time letting go.

 

For those who dont know KP have already let go, they dont own shares anymore.

 

I also think the first thing a new owner would do is sell the new training ground or find a way to make it pay for itself, for funds and get us back to belvior, players training in the city they represent as they should be, its a fat elephant and yet the players training there look like they trained by bottom of the barrel coaches.  It was built as if we thought we made it, when well we havent.  How that was put ahead of the stadium I dont know.

Ownership is completely fine and not the issue.

 

We need Rudkin and whelan gone. To be replaced with:

 

A new Chief exec.

A new Sporting director 

A new DOF/Technical director.

Put this in another thread, and I am sure it would likely not work at the EPL level, but what they are doing at the Caledonian Braves is very exciting in terms of ownership

Which means new ownership, the ownership wont do what you just said.  The ownership was also the ones making daft decisions like a self imposed transfer embargo, employing a manager with no experience, and sacking a failing manager 6 months too late.

But they won’t replace them so surely you then look further up.
