King Power Out

Should be “we want Top out”. Let the fella know it’s over and we want HIM gone everything else is a cause of him. And when I say we, I mean the people with at least one brain cell who can see what this guy has done and is doing to us as a collective. Home and Away. Win, draw, lose. On repeat. 

It’s not even about brain cells which is the scary thing as thick is easy to deal with. I’d wager there are people who blindly back Aiyawatt and KP who are extremely intelligent and sensible in their regular person and working lives.

 

It is textbook cult behaviour. What about the below definition does not sound like KP foot soldier behaviour? 

 

A cult is a group or movement organized around intense devotion to a person, ideology, or goal that demands extreme loyalty and obedience, controls information, discourages questioning, and prioritizes allegiance to its leadership or beliefs over the autonomy and well-being of its members.

Got to got for me, please sell up and give the club a fighting chance to move forward. The first relegation was meant to be the kick up the arse this club needed. We made a really progressive appointment with Enzo and the transfer business at least seemed to have some thought and strategy to it. 
 

However since then it’s been chaotic and hap hazard, no real strategy and patchwork quilt of managerial appointments and player signings, still on inflated wages and lengthy contracts. 
 

They have learnt nothing and there is no discernible plan, they are literally winging it in the hope we somehow get promoted and that helps sort out our finances for 12 months. 
 

There is no plan, zero acumen or innovative thinking we have literally been run into the ground. We lose a very highly regarded and respected CEO and replace the day to day running of the club with someone from KP’s supply chain and logistics department, Top our chairman and acting CEO is barely here and has been absent from duty playing Polo for the last 3 weeks or so. 
 

There is barely a week goes by without the club somehow managing to kick the fanbase in the teeth with yet another piss poor performance lacking energy and commitment or some sort of off field faux pas.
 

We really have become the pits at the moment and if desperately needs new leadership, fresh ideas and some sort of coherent plan and strategy to take us forward.

Is the late pay day just a cultural cock- up or do we have serious cash flow issues, like Sheff Wednesday? Did the players get delayed pay, hence the pissed off performance?

I would not be surprised in the slightest if we are being primed for a sale KP/Top can ill  afford to keep bailing out a club losing millions every season. I think they will cut their losses if they can get £100m and walk away from a club that is haemorrhaging money then they may feel it’s time to cut their loses and walk away. 

Wondering how this works?

We are told that the club is worth £380M

(Yeah right)No one in their right mind pays that.I would still imagine that Top boy will hold out for as much as he can get if he decides to sell.The whole process could go on for weeks and months as he negotiates with potential buyers.Meanwhile it’s likely that the funding of the day to day stuff will fall of a cliff and things start getting neglected, if they havern’t already.

So loads of pain for any potential gain which is still a bit of a gamble as we may end up with a blood sucker.

My understanding is that the Sheffield Wed guy held out for too long because he wanted to recoupe as much of his investment as possible and Leicester may end up in a similar position.

Paying your staff late is the act of a dying business. Pay HMRC late, pay suppliers late and it doesn’t affect your day to day business until suppliers put you on stop. Pay your staff late and they down tools and morale drops instantly. 
 

if it was “to bring payment dates in line with the rest of the KP group” then why tell them the day before pay day? Tell them before so they can plan. 
 

Our club is fecked.

Absolutely spot on.

 

I predict that in 6 months or so we start to hear about suppliers not being paid, and negotiations around time to pay the HMRC.

 

The business is dying

**** off and take your shit possession based football with you.

 

...and while you're at it, please can you take my stupid ****ing dog that can't stop pissing itself in the middle of the night? Cheers

I think a lot of them just don't have a clue what they are on about tbh.

 

Just expecting it to all go full circle at some point and we will just end up back in the PL as that's what we do. I've seen numerous quotes "We expected to be mid table this season" "Rebuild this, Rebuild that", Wait for the finances to get sorted and we'll be ok".....It's honestly just like they haven't done any actual research or see the club on a trajectory. 

 

Unfortunately, by the time people like that do see where we are heading, we will already be there.

I didn’t really like the “in line with the rest of KP” thingy. It didn’t sit right. I realise they own us. However, we are Leicester city. And shouldn’t be part of KP. In my mind we were almost two separate entities. I know that’s not really how it works in the grand scheme of things but, it really was the moment for me where I realised that they don’t see us as Leicester city and really are wanting us to be KPFC. They aren’t Leicester staff that haven’t been paid, they are now king power staff.

Hopefully it puts an end to the argument that King Power don’t own us, Top does.

How do we get the wider fan base involved to make a difference though. We're all responsible for finding the catalyst 

Stop the name calling on both sides would be the most helpful IMO. I think if you did a survey to all fans, most want to see change. What most fans don’t like is the chidlish chants and derogative personal remarks at matches and on social media against anyone - fans, players, managers, staff, owners etc. and again, I am talking about both sides. We all get angry but we tend to get angry with each other rather than where the problems are, which despite some opinions, is not with the fans. (I am also guilty of this though I do try hard!). To get fans onside has to not be done with sticks and stones. It won’t work and creates bigger divides. I personally think any major change demonstrated by fans won’t be massive whilst this season is played out. We all want to win a match and climb up the league, but most of us know promotion really should not be our aim as we cannot compete in the higher league with such a dysfunctional club.  We need to survive in this league. . See what happens in the summer and then take stock of where we are. The football is bad enough without dodging all the mud slinging.

It's a shame that the Project Reset protest was a flash in the pan. It was successful in so far as gaining media traction and putting pressure on the board. I see that after Wolves fan's protests recently their Executive Chairman Jeff Shi stepped down. It does work.

It's true but the Wolves fans will likely all be on the same page with their protests.

 

Because of 2015/16 and the FA cup win, for at least probably half of our fanbase and most likely more, it does not matter how bad things get now, because KP were in charge for that they can basically do no wrong now. That's why protests here will never gain enough traction to be effective as there will always be naysayers and KP defenders telling us to be 'careful what we wish for', that we 'owe KP for what we achieved' or that 'we were in League One once'. I think we'd have to be languishing in League One again for half of them to wake up.

He should leave and take that ****ing statue with him. He is going to leave us in a worse state than his father found us in, we are already facing years of irreparable damage as it is.

I totally understand. I have friends who think Top/KP/Crudkin/ have a lifetime immunity because of the success achieved. There is this feeling that they we are too polite to complain, that we should be grateful for the trophies, the memories, the doughnuts. It's very sad.

This is a great post and makes some really good points, I desperately want to see massive changes within our football club but I think that protests need to remain the right side morally. The stuff cbanted at Norwich was too much and that will mean people like me who do want genuine change would refrain from joining in. 
 

Top and Rudkin are both doing a terrible job and need to move on, but the personal abuse and some of the stuff said is a step too far and in think in those instances the argument loses momentum and credibility. 
 

In the same way that some who defend KP will say inflammatory things to people who are passionate for change. 
 

for me both sides of the discussion need to stay respectful, regardless of the side of the fence you sit we all want the same thing, for our club to be stable, secure and performing to the best of its ability. 

[CosbehFox]

There's no point trying to avoid it upsetting anyone. Someone is going to get upset but the time is here or very near for major protest. 

 

What starts off as 100 one week will snowball. It will quickly grow. That Christmas payment news will irk others who were previously may have stood back.

See that's why I'd and a good number would immediately disagree. 

 

It's made dysfunctional by its current owners. Therefore people want rid of the dysfunctional owners. Accepting the status quo has led to this being a season with 'survival'.

It appears top has downsized his plane, just about to land at the airport...... honestly!

And you have every right to disagree as do many others and many others will also agree , which there lies the problem to get a larger number together to protest, particularly in an angry manner. You can’t remove anyone if they are not going to go. You can’t ‘force’ anyone out. Look at the abuse Rudkin has had and still remains. Some will say such and such a club did it but was it really from the fans that they left or because they chose their own time. Some owners would have the attitude of digging in harder against the abuse. I don’t have the answers but I do strongly believe that to get more fans on board the personal attacks are not the answer. It’s not proven so far anyway. A few hundred are trying hard their way and it shows their passion for the club.. Quite a few thousand are not onboard with this style though they also have passion for their club.

I'm afraid the only form of mass protest that really makes a difference is a financial one. ie people stop buying season tickets, completely boycott the club shop, don't buy any food etc at the ground and for non-season ticket holders to stop buying tickets to matches.

Otherwise taunts at the matches, though they might feel good to do at the time as a sort of release probably don't make a huge difference as the fan base is always likely to be split.

Yeh but that's met with;

 

What else will I do on a saturday?

 

I love Leicester despite the ownership

 

I've sat next to the same people for 20 years 

 

What about my priority points 

 

etc etc 

 

So no, there won't be any change as they are enabling it but moaning about it at the same time.

I was talking to someone about KP out at the weekend and was told to be careful what I wished for.

 

We would hate to have owners who don’t communicate decisions, lead us from one of the richest clubs in the world to what looks like financial ruin, a playing squad with little value in it, staff not knowing when they will get paid and the team not being able to compete with QPR.

 

We really should be careful what we wish for.

You know full well the same people would criticize different owners for the littlest things.
