When you think of our recruitment over the last 5 years against that of the likes of Brighton, Brentford, Fulham, Palace, Bournemouth, Forest and now Sunderland it shows how utterly dreadful the decision making on the football side has been for far too long. We were in a better position to attract better players than all these teams and we've royally ballsed it up

Aiyawatt has nothing to show off now. No glamour Premier League games with Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal. No promotion so no parade with influencers. No play-offs so no trip to Wembley.

 

Oxford and Charlton, good clubs that they are, aren't worth the effort. Leicester v Coventry is big for the fans but doesn't resonate in the homeland.

 

14th in the second division is best avoided.

How many people in this thread wittering about KP still going down to “support the lads” week in week out. 
 

Wake up - it’s empty stadium o clock, time to send a message.

I tried - and failed - to flag our executive guests / boardroom guests and (lack of) sponsors a couple of weeks ago. We (Top) dont have any.

 

Look at the contingent in the Watford section compared to ours. 

 

KP don't mingle, don't network, all the pitch side sponsors are syndicated EFL deals,.weird Thai/Shell betting or Forex stuff. They don't want anyone near their seedy money operation. 

 

He's a very strange, insular,.little man with appalling english language skills and - I'd hazard a guess - even worse social skills. 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely bang on regarding his English. 
 

He doesn’t get called out on this anywhere near enough.

I’m genuinely astounded that there was more than 20,000 there today. 
 

Amount of absolute wet wipes we have following us is unreal.

We’ve had major corporations sponsor the club under KP (DHL and PepsiCo) and they’ve never been able to get close to the ownership 

 

I know this first hand from someone that works high up at one of said companies 

 

The only high up that really interacted with the outside world was Whelan

How long until the large percentage of our fans start to wake up an smell the coffee.

 

he could literally take us down to league 2 and people would say “careful what you wish for” part of me feels like a large proportion of the fans deserve this their heads are on the moon 

Yep, survey the average match going fan and they wouldn’t want him gone

As the year draws to an end, I wanted (for my sanity!) to put into words how I feel about the state of the club — and about the fractured fanbase.

 

It is with dismay I read more and more posts highlighting the infighting among us supporters. People like me, who are highly critical of King Power and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, are often derided by others who will back the ownership regardless of how bad things become. I do not write this to criticise those fans, who are, after all fellow supporters. We all care deeply about Leicester City. But I do want those fans to reflect on a simple truth: this is not the King Power they believed in under Vichai. And it is not disloyal, entitled or ungrateful to say so.

 

Criticising Aiyawatt’s leadership is not an attack on Vichai’s legacy — it is a defence of it. That legacy has been squandered, and it is entirely justified for people to say so.

 

I believe Leicester City Football Club is broken — not by bad luck or misfortune, but by catastrophic leadership. The responsibility lies squarely at the top with Aiyawatt, whose stewardship has dragged our once-proud, respected and successful club into chaos.

 

Our club defied history. We won the Premier League against all odds. We finally lifted the FA Cup. We enjoyed European nights that put Leicester on the world stage. For years, Leicester City was held up as a model of how a football club should be run. That reputation has now been comprehensively destroyed.

 

In my view, Aiyawatt has proven completely incompetent at managing a modern football club. The same failures that have seen him effectively replaced within the King Power business empire have been repeated at Leicester City. Poor decision-making, lack of oversight and an inability to act decisively have defined his chairmanship. It has been passive when it needed to be ruthless, arrogant when it needed humility, and absent when leadership was required most.

 

On the pitch, the decline would be laughable if wasn’t so tragic. We watch this arrogant and badly unbalanced squad blunder through games — many of the players who appear disengaged, overpaid and devoid of accountability. Recruitment has been an incoherent disaster, wages have spiralled, and standards have collapsed. Managers are blamed and moved on, yet the same problems persist because the owner and his lackey refuse to confront their own shortcomings.

 

The appointment of Martí Cifuentes is the clearest example of this dysfunction. It felt like a poor and uninspiring choice, driven by desperation rather than any coherent strategy. I was one of those who desperately wanted him to work out, but sadly, under his watch, I have seen some of the worst performances and results in recent memory, capped by yesterday’s abject home defeat to Watford. There is no clear identity, no visible progression, and no sense that this team knows what it is trying to be.

 

What frustrates me most is the complete lack of direction. As a fan, I am not demanding miracles — I am asking for honesty, clarity and competence. Instead, we are left in the dark, watching a spectacular fall from grace with no explanation, no plan and no reassurance. Communication from the club has been hollow, reactive (in support of the worse DOF ever!) and insulting to supporters who have given unwavering loyalty through the greatest period in our history.

 

What I am trying to get off my chest is not a fan with a sense of entitlement — it is anger and frustration. A sense of anger for what Leicester City has become, and rage at how carelessly its progress has been undone. Aiyawatt inherited enormous goodwill following his father’s legacy, but that credit has long since been exhausted. Legacy alone does not run a football club. Competence does.

 

If you still consider yourself firmly in the King Power camp, I would simply ask that you take off the KPFC-tinted spectacles for a moment and look honestly at where we are. This is not about loyalty to owners or branding; it is about loyalty to Leicester City Football Club. Change will not come through denial or division. It will only come if we are a fanbase pulling in the same direction, prepared to challenge poor leadership and demand better for the club we all care about.

This is a good post without the dross that often encompasses anything against Top.   All fans are disgruntled. All fans want change. Most fans do not like the name calling. Most fans won’t not go to a match because of our downfall. I certainly will always go because they are my club and no matter how we play, what league we are in, I will always go. I think if we had reasonable fans who could get together without the rubbish derogative comments, and produce something like TOPS WE NEED CHANGE. OR TOPS THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. TOPS GIVE US OUR CLUB BACK. Etc and get people to print out signs then a lot more fans would get involved. You could do a master copy and send the links round the socials. Saying things like Tops feck off is not going to cut it. Make a demonstration non abusive and more fans may get involved. It takes intelligence to influence change not aggression.

If I've missed any, let me know:

  • Signing a load of dross under Sven (to be fair they saw the error of their ways here and re-appointed Pearson)
  • Promoting Jon Rudkin to DoF
  • The quickly reversed 'sacking' of Nigel Pearson in February 2015
  • Getting the stadium to clap the Thai King
  • A horrific transfer window in summer 2016 when they squandered the chance to use the PL win as a real springboard
  • Giving the job to Shakey full time
  • Appointing Claude Puel, while he signed some good players for us, a Southampton reject who was renowned for playing negative football was not a particularly ambitious managerial appointment for a club with the profile that we had at the time.
  • Adrien Silva 14 seconds fiasco
  • Appointing Brendan Rodgers
  • Letting Rodgers dismantle the ethos of the club and the team behind the scenes that Pearson and co built
  • Unnecessary new contract for Brendan Rodgers that made him so costly to sack
  • Overspending on mediocre to crap players with awful attitudes and handing out silly contracts like confetti, leading to the PSR issues we have now
  • The summer of 2022 mess
  • Letting Tielemans run his contract down
  • Horrific transfer business in January 2023, nearly signing Jack Harrison on £100k per week
  • Leaving it way too late to sack Brendan Rodgers
  • £880k fine for replica kit price fixing
  • Failing to sack Jon Rudkin following relegation, 'internal review' that as expected led to absolutely nothing
  • Signing more Premier League has beens like Conor Coady on silly money, completely failing to learn any lessons
  • Giving Hamza Choudhury a new contract
  • January 2024 transfer window mess which saw Casadei being recalled with no replacement and no other incomings, failed Stefano Sensi signing
  • £25 for a physical season ticket
  • Filling the West Stand with Thai celebs on the final game of 23-24 which prevented actual fans from being able to see the team lifting the trophy
  • Giving Jannik Vestergaard a new 3 year contract
  • Letting Dewsbury-Hall leave and then spending silly money on players like Skipp, Golding and Okoli.
  • The completely pointless signing of Woyo Coulibaly in January 2025
  • Nonsensical stadium bans that seem to be weaponised against fans who have been critical of King Power & Jon Rudkin
  • Preventing fans from handing out mental health awareness flyers due to 'environmental concerns', meanwhile they had no issue printing out tens of thousands of clappers every game.
  • Dodgy BC.GAME sponsor, no shirt sponsor for months this season before bringing them back.
  • #TruthFromThailand political propaganda being displayed on the screens at the stadium
  • Giving Luke Thomas a new contract
  • Appointing some Thai middle manager who has never worked in football or the UK before as Managing Director
  • Aiyawatt promising more communication and then going off to play Polo for weeks
  • Failing to pay staff before Christmas as promised

 

Don't forget lying through their teeth to the fans about away ticket collection in Europe and mandated coach travel for the FA Cup final.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 brilliant post that captures the mood of so many in a well structured, well written and respectful manner. You can see the emotion, pain and frustration but whilst maintaining a respectful and calm tone. I think this kind of post will land more with people than one where the undertones are more aggressive and disrespectful to certain individuals. 


This is the kind of post we need to see more of to help generate more discussion and engagement on our decline.

Be careful what you wish for though, we could get a bad owner.

I've tried to steer a careful path around who should own the club. I just want Aiyawatt to do his job with a semblance of competence. At this point ‘be careful what you wish for’ might be the positive option. IMHO we already have a bad owner.

Surely enough is enough, if only one person stopped and shouted king power out sack the board etc after the Derby game, would the majority of supporters shake their heads and walk past or join the mob?

Foxtalk and social media is a minority sadly. The average match going fan doesn’t want to see king power sell up. I personally believe that’s just down to a lack of passion for the club and willing to tolerate utter shit because we were good once. 
 

it’s why we have a small club fanbase.
