King Power Out

[Mickyblueeyes]

Top listening to Enzo (alleged).

Top taking over the recruitment process and sacking of process (well documented)

Top apparently losing his cool with Rudkin and walking out at half time v Wolves. 
 

Everyone can say we should back him but I can tell you right now, Top himself knows he has ****ed up if these are his actions.
 

Staying up this season gives him a massive stroke of luck. He better be praying for it because his execs have handicapped this team by another faliure .  If it happens and we do not see a major overhaul of execs AND proper appointments in all 3 c-suite roles CEO, DOF and CFO (the PSR situation means we need someone of suitable calibre and don’t think the current guy is), he needs to go because it means, whether he wants to (or anyone else wants to accept it) we are no longer trying and in football, if you ain’t trying, you better believe you’re dying. 
 

That is the only credit left for him for me from his dad’s work here. Otherwise, I want him to sell or be replaced by a more qualified member of the KP family (his sisters are holding and learning some senior positions in the KP organisation and unlike Top, paying their dues).

None of these clubs has ever or will ever win the Premier League or FA Cup though.

 

There's well run mediocracy and there is winning, id take winning any day.

 

Honestly is there any point being a team like Bournemouth? Whats to look forward to? mid tableness. 

 

Also there was NO difference between Vichai and Top King Power have always been a bit loopy since day one, I think the fact that Vichai died has rose tinted his running of the club, we were largely lucky and based on Pearson's structure and squad building started in 2009. The same management team exists now the Vichai put in place, theres little evidence much would have been done differently. They took a risk, were rewarded with the league title and FA Cup, thought they could get more, they gambled and lost. A bad manager, poor recruitment and failure to act has been our downfall.  Brighton, Villa and co are Red Cartel and Greedy Six compliant, doing as they are told, existing in mediocracy for eternity, **** that. 

 

By that logic, we may as well fold now then.

 

We’ve had some incredible moments but it’s not carte blanche to be shit again.

Do you see us winning anything else under this ownership? Who’s more likely to win a cup in the next 5 years, us or Brighton?

 

You’ve stated we were lucky, so how does that support being pro KP? A touch of luck and we won something so now we should stick with them even if they are poorly running the club and take us down twice in 3 years?

He was the Financial Controller who took over from Simon Capper who had been there for 10 years I think.

Neither will win anything. Brighton will go on being Red Cartel compliant, or maybe they might make an error and end up in a relegation battle, its literally one bad decision from going down. Although the disparity between divisions is making that less likely. 

 

I think my main issue is that we are unlikely as Leicester City to get better owners, we are not particularly desirable as a club, no one is interested in us, even less so in making us any kind of success. For a club like Leicester City you need to put in quite a lot and be prepared not to get much back. I don't see a queue of people waiting to do that.

I know. And maybe a full clear out is wrong. It is from what I understand his first CFO role. The reality is with the difficulties surrounding the PSR calculations and ever changing landscapes, it might be good to get someone with 10/15/20 years experience in on a NED basis.

But really as a supporter or football is there any point supporting a tin pot club to exist as fodder in the middle of the Premier League. As a spectacle is shit, and to me exactly why football is dying and will continue to die why the protect the greedy six and cartels with batshit rules that stifle any attempt a speculate to accumulate. To be honest as a rich person outside the greedy six right now there is no real point investing in football.

I agree and thats coming from someone who has been in his situation and supports internal progression. It has been into the flames

Given virtually every other club in the league has changed ownership since KP bought us I’d say there’s sufficient interest 

 

We’re much more attractive than say Bournemouth who got taken over easily

[Leicester_Loyal]

2 relegations in 3 years. 

Who could possibly manage this club better? He’s the best we can get!!

[Swarles Barkley]

Sooner Top fvcks off and takes Rudkin with him the better

[Trumpet]

We’re so many levels below the level of toxic we need to be.

Yeah but no1 is interested in us, we won the league etc. 

 

Weird cult like behaviour around KP and has been for years. Top hasn’t got a clue but people daren’t blame him for anything. 

[Noahfence]

There’s a very weird cult surrounding king power amongst good portions of our fanbase. Makes my skin crawl. 

[MattFox]

Sell up if you love the club

[SecretPro]

Get the lot of them gone. Top, Rudkin, Susan. Bunch of absolute cowboys. Anyone defending them at this point is thick as ****ing shit.

All clubs that have won nothing in the last 20 years at least we tried, succeeded and then failed under this leadership. Despite losses Top has always made clear he underwrites our debts and we are a solvent going concern. Has overreaching hurt us yes but it was a glorious time which I would not swap for the comfort zone of all the clubs you mention. FFP, PSR are all designed to restrict ambition and that’s what has happened. The leaders of the EPL and EFL are self centered evil who need to be removed from the sport. Anyone who thinks anything else is Nieve and Deluded. Is Top perfect no but if The ever changing quicksand of FFP and PSR did not exist I believe he would have invested and we might be in a better place. If you think some perfect white knight is going to ride in and replace KP think again. Football takes deep pockets of losses name me one who wants to step up.

You make it sound like the success was part of us investing heavily

 

The success was based on the groundwork laid first by Pearson/Walsh and then later Puel/Macia.

 

SInce Top took over we had a short rise, which I'd argue was inevitable given the good work that had been done and then pretty much since then a slow gradual decline. With us becoming a worse team whilst simultaneously spending more money

 

Can't believe i'm even replying to this drivel, but I'm bored..

 

[Mickyblueeyes]

He is an embarrassment to his father what he’s done. I think the family need to step in as they have done with the main business. He’ll end up broke if he has to do things himself.

Yeah I've been on the fence despite what my own eyes have been seeing for the last few years but I'm on board now. Top needs to find buyers who actually know what they're doing and want the club to succeed instead of being some far east vanity project. 

[Poznan34]

Sell the club, you frauds.

[frany104]

Get these clowns out now. 
 

it’s a disgrace. 
 

I don’t care about the relationship between the family and the club anymore. That’s gone. It’s been mismanaged so badly since then that good will had gone. The owners have to go. 

[joachim1965]

Yep, time to go me thinks.

[SecretPro]

The thought of them going home (if they bothered to turn up), ordering some £5000 takeaway and planning their next luxury holidays makes me sick. 

[BigGibbo]

It's time to go.

Top and Jon Rudkin are a pair of absolute ****ing morons who have managed to take a once-promising football club and turn it into a complete shitshow. These two dickheads couldn't manage a ****ing lemonade stand, let alone a Premier League club. But here we are, watching these clueless ****wits steer Leicester City straight into the gutter, all while doing absolutely nothing but patting themselves on the back for the privilege of running the place into the ground.

 

Let’s talk about Steve Cooper, the cheap-as-shit, bottom-of-the-barrel managerial appointment that these two tossers decided was the answer. Cooper is the kind of manager who couldn’t organize a piss-up in a brewery. He’s got all the tactical nous of a potato and the charisma of a wet dishcloth. But why did Top and Rudkin hire him? Because he was ****ing cheap. He didn’t demand a competent squad or even basic managerial resources. It’s like they went into a car dealership, saw a rusted-out heap of junk with no wheels, and said, “That’ll do.” A manager with no ambition, no vision, no nothing. A ****ing yes-man who wouldn’t dare rock the boat or ask for anything that might actually make the team competitive.

 

And what did they give him to work with? A squad so bad, even a Sunday League team would laugh at them. They handed him a group of players who were more interested in collecting a paycheck than playing actual football. It’s like giving a drunk, mentally challenged monkey a bag of bricks and telling it to build a house. What the **** did they think was going to happen? Van Nistelrooy—****ing VAN NISTELROOY—walks into that mess and has to deal with a bunch of overpaid, injury-prone willy pullers who can’t pass a ball five yards without tripping over their own ****ing feet. He was handed a pile of dogshit wrapped in a Leicester shirt and expected to work miracles. Well, newsflash: he couldn’t, because it was a ****ing disaster waiting to happen.

 

And the most insulting part? They couldn’t even bother giving Van Nistelrooy a competent Director of Football. No, these two numpties just threw him into the deep end, hoping he could swim with a ****ing anchor tied to his legs. Rudkin is so useless, he couldn’t spot a decent player if they came up and slapped him in the face. The guy is a walking embodiment of failure, a man whose only skill is looking completely ****ing out of his depth. His transfer dealings are so bad, they make you want to gouge your eyes out. The squad is a collection of washed-up has-beens, injury-prone disasters, and players who look like they’ve never seen a football in their life.

 

Top and Rudkin have absolutely ****ed over Van Nistelrooy. They’ve set him up to fail at every ****ing turn. He didn’t even have a fighting chance. They’ve taken a once-great club and turned it into a laughing stock. The fans who supported Leicester through thick and thin? We’re the ones getting ****ed in the hoop while these two clueless bellends sit on their thrones, doing nothing but watching the whole thing crumble. It’s beyond embarrassing.

 

If Leicester were a person, it’d be the pathetic twat at the bar trying to chat up women with no game and a permanently sweaty forehead. It’s the kind of person who thinks they’re the centre of attention while everyone else is wondering how the hell they managed to get this far in life. And Top and Rudkin are the absolute worst kind of managers—those who have no ****ing clue what they’re doing but somehow keep finding a way to **** everything up even more.

 

They’ve taken Leicester City to the depths of misery. They’ve ruined Van Nistelrooy’s potential, destroyed any hopes of progress, and left the club in a state so ****ing dire, it’s a miracle anyone still bothers to watch them. Top and Rudkin are a cancer to this club, and until they’re gone, Leicester will keep circling the drain. Get these two useless ***** out of our club before they completely ruin it for good. They’re not even bad at their jobs—they’re ****ing terrible.
