A challenge I would offer regarding all the plane business, summarising a bit here but you say in your video that Rudkin shouldn't have a job but it's up to Top to decide.

The problem is they are in too deep together so no fair process on job evaluation can happen and whilst I do agree that ideally fan consultations/fan groups are the best route, the foxes trust has not held the board to account and the board have time and again shown they don't engage or listen.

As a fan how are you supposed to show your dissatisfaction with all the things you raised when the ones in question do not engage with you on any level? At best you get Whelan in a private redacted meeting and that's it.

I didn't donate to the plane but I understand why people felt the need to do it.

The issues have been getting pointed out for multiple years now, nothing has changed, the club didn’t listen, they were not open and transparent, they marked their own homework and continued on the same path.

There are two issues that you’re overlooking. 
 

1) It’s the same mistakes being made by the club over and over again. They’re not learning, so the only way left to get into their heads is to make our discontent more visible. If it’s embarrassing, then good, it’s done its job. 
 

2) There’s no forum for the supporters to interact with the club except in hostile circumstances. The chairman and director of football don't do media interviews. It’s silent, nobody actually knows what’s going on. People say Rudkin is a nice guy, but how would we ever know? Look at Steve Parish at Palace, he makes bad decisions at times but the fans are ok with that because he fronts up and outlines the logic. Even the Greek lard at Forest is out there doing that. Managers at our club are also intentionally silenced too. Communicate with the fans and once again we wouldn’t have to go to these extremes to make our voices heard.

 

You as a supporter are being disrespected. Now you might be happy with that power dynamic, but in this case many of us are not. Hence we are making our voices heard.

I’m not sure if I’d say I’m overlooking them and the reason why is that I just don’t think they care about things being ‘embarrassing’ otherwise things would’ve changed a while ago imo

 

I fully agree there should be more transparency and that’s one of the biggest things that causes the fan disconnect

 

if after than internal review we’d had a full rundown of what went wrong and why and then those things were publicly explained and changes were made because of it then the fanbase would’ve been way more understanding but like someone else said earlier they seemed to brush it under the carpet which is ridiculous 

 

Again though I don’t mind people voicing their problems, more so the manner in which it was done I think was wrong

[Pliskin]

If there is a boss, who’s neglecting their duties, would it be reasonable for their employees and stakeholders be unhappy and have something to say about it? 
 

People may disagree with the protests and criticism levelled at the ownership, but I ask you this, what happens if we say nothing? Carry on turning up as if everything is okay and never speak out? 
 

What has happened at this club over the last few years is unforgivable. The board have squandered the opportunity to progress, when we had the tools to do so. All we’ve heard is excuses, not explanations. 
 

You can’t sit on your hands and watch what you love crumble, regardless of how you feel about it, sometimes you have to speak out so the message is heard.

Fair play for fronting up and fighting your corner but this is just going to get worse until heads roll at the club.

I totally agree

 

Didn’t want to put down the idea of voicing opinions on the negligence of the club, just wanted to try and explain my clip and tweet a bit further on here to give more context etc in terms of why this specific protest was problematic for me

 

If the club does not make BIG changes in the summer in terms of hierarchy, recruitment, player power and everything in between then I think they’re going to have a half full stadium for a chunk of the season

 

I I think we can all agree we want what is best for the club and if that requires KP to sell then it is what it is. 
 

Apologies for any misconstrued points that could’ve been explained better on Twitter and here but I enjoy talking to people about these topics

That’s changing. Slowly but surely. Give us a little bit of time and a chance.

I’ll wait for the change. For now though, the Foxes Trust are a fundamental problem with this club. They were apparently set up for the very reason to avoid people like the twerp laughing us as we go down in the most embarrassing season in our history.  And I’m sorry, I’m no longer in the mood to be nice about all of this when you have someone on their board who has repeatedly thrown insults at fans when they were calling out this shit when Rodgers was running us into the ground and remains on the board until today. Drain the swamp ASAP - the club needs protecting from many on their board. 
 

As for this guy and his 5 minutes of fame. Again, throwing insults at the intelligent person who wants to do something to wake up the crappy fan base on what is currently the greatest demise of a football club in the world - (tell me Im wrong) and then offers nothing apart from for telling us to rely on Cliff Bastard Ginnetta. Is he flipping serious ? Do me a favour lad. 
 

What is happening and will continue to happen to this club, which will break so many hearts BUT it’s exactly what many on here were saying would happen 3 1/2 years ago and were shut down and insulted by similar people. Throw insults. Get it back and they cry victim. 
 

I’ll say it again, rely on Cliff ****ing Ginetta - this is this fellas solution.

The fact they couldn't even say the R-word in their official social media post says it all really. Living in a fantasy land, completely disconnected from reality. And an insult to the fans who have had to put up with this shit for four long years now.

Yes the only thing pathetic and embarrassing is a grown adult in cheap replica tops, do they think they’re going to actually play on the pitch?

Exactly, I said it was embarrassing on my own personal single person social media platforms as that’s my view

 

I didn’t get another plane to fly afterwards saying ‘That was embarrassing’ without attaching my name to it?

 

I’m not attempting to speak on behalf of the fanbase by voicing my opinion on a page that is about me?

 

Lots may disagree with my opinion as they clearly do but as I’ve said there are many things that after discussing we would agree on. I just personally think that this was the wrong way to go about things.

So embarrassing to who?

[CosbehFox]

Re: Trust and Fan Groups 

 

I don’t think it’s any great secret that anyone in conversations with the club whether that be in a FCC meeting or similar mentions the club performances, it’s often answered with ‘that’s Rudkin and Top’s domain’, so we aren’t the people to ask. 
 

That’s why the fans to make their voice are in the position about misperforming of the football side of the business are having to resort to these methods.

Can only happen if people step forward to be on the board. We are apathetic as a fan base on so many levels. 
 

Btw I know have skin in the game on this. 
 

But I think there’s a very awkward question that LCFC fans have to ask themselves and I include those who are angry now and angry before.
 

Have we really done enough to mobilise as a fanbase in terms of getting fans opinions heard? 

 

For me, we haven’t because we’ve been blinded by the success where the club began to inch away at the various areas they could monetise.

 

So I find the finger pointing at various of the fanbase or groups or whatever, basically hollow.

For what it's worth, many people who went on the protest, myself included, have condemned personal abuse towards Rudkin, most notably the depiction of him as a clown. I think it's uncalled for and is bad optics. However, because someone decides to depict Rudkin as a clown doesn't mean that the protests are invalid in any way.

I remember the last home game of 07/08 against Sheffield Wednesday when we were about to go down to League One. I was sat by the family stand and you had people in the family stand throwing season tickets at the pitch and going mental about how bad the situation was. The contrast to now is remarkable. 

 

I don't think it's just that we've all become zombies, people can just never turn against this ownership. If the club was sold 4 years ago and thos had happened under a completely new ownership, there would be far more visible anger. 

 

 

I also remember Mandaric doing a TV interview.  Can we see Top doing that?

We are ****ed aren’t we? It’s a dilemma that’s often swam in my mind that it’s not the club I supported any more and rather than me leaving the club, it’s the club that’s left me 

I feel similarly after what's happened to me. I'll be honest - a bigger part of me has enjoyed them getting slapped about than I ever thought would be possible. That's because they have fvcked me off - rather than the other way around.

 

I hope I'm back one day. In some ways though from what I read, what I've missed if anything is things getting even worse off the pitch. I wouldn't be surprised if within two games, possibly even one game back I've no interest in it.

 

I miss it but I'm not sure how I ever liked it will ever be the case again.

[OntarioFox]

I'm just really relieved I have local non-league to distract me next season. I'm angry - that much should be obvious from the amount of time I've spent on here ranting and analysing various aspects of our abject failure. But I'm just apathetic to it, and probably will be until Top at a bare minimum swings the axe on Rudkin, Glover and Whelan, if not sells the club entirely.

 

It's equal parts reassuring and depressing that i've been to one sixth-tier game this week, and enjoyed it more than anything LCFC have given me since the FA Cup win four years ago. That's absolutely damning for a club that inn 2016 taught the whole football world to dream, because the impossible can happen.

 

I need to rediscover my love for football, and I'm not going to do that following KPFC, whatever happens next season. 

[Sly]

I think the King Power ideology

is to isolate all season ticket holders, so they won’t renew. They then have more tickets for general sale. 

 

They can then sell more memberships and fan tat so the average income received per head goes up.
 

What they’ve miscalculated is that we aren’t a club with a massive fan pull, therefore we don’t have millions of people scrambling for tickets. 

They’re deluded.

The people are the club are deluded.

The happy clappers are deluded.

 

Without investment you stand still. What have they invested in us to move forward during the past 24 months?

Hey there

 

Thought I’d respond on here as well as trying to reply to everyone on Twitter

 

I’ll ignore the personal insults based on my job etc

 

My main points from my post, video and replies

 

- There are major problems at the club and have been for years, I’ve called these out countless times and questioned the hierarchy in many a video/post

 

- I am not a ‘happy clapper’ that sticks around and applauds pathetic performances off the pitch regardless of the situation. I think those people are also problematic

 

- I think a lot of people are trying to have their cake and eat it too. If the owners/top don’t care about the club at all (as is being claimed) then imo they wouldn’t care at all about fan protests or frustration. They’d happily keep things going as they are until a big bidder comes in and they cash out of their fun play thing.

 

- Many fans that are blaming the board for everything also boo half the players instead of supporting them when possible (I know it’s been hard this season)

 

- I’ve been going for 25 years, this club is a major part of my life. Just because I don’t partake in plane protests it doesn’t mean I don’t care nor does it mean I happy clap.

 

- My main frustration with the plane banner and the van protests are that it feels they are trying to speak for the whole fanbase which isn’t fair. When it’s getting personal with individuals as well instead of just talking about their job success/failure I think that’s too far. I understand people chanting etc as you’re entitled to do that and it’s clear that it’s specifically your view, not trying to speak for others.

 

I know a lot of people are incredibly angry at how the club is run and therefore will lash out at someone like myself when I don’t shout in the exact same way as others. I hate what the running of the club has been like in recent years and can only hope that they see reason to make big changes this summer.

 

Apologies for anyone offended, it was only 90 seconds of video time whereas when I do my relegation video I can articulate each point clearer

‘Pathetic’

’Shameful’

’Embarrassing’

’Putting the club in bad light’

 

Thats not the fans from here who chipped in for the plane banner you know?

 

Thats precisely what Top and Rudkin have done themselves.

 

Nobody thought a plane banner would force Top to act. Nobody. 
 

What it was designed to do was to spark conversation on a wider scale and bring about a better public awareness on all their failings. 
 

Your daft video defending them has helped do that, so thanks!

That video was like Leicester's season - extremely low expectations and even then it fell short.
