King Power Out

Vestergaard and Wout are still here too.

 

But agree, it not a hang over from Rodger’s as such, it’s just that summer is the really obvious point it went wrong. Bad decisions, BR was given too much power.

 

Then after that it feel like we have made one good decision with Enzo, which nearly didn’t happen as it was going to be Parker. 
 

There could be a redemption for top and KP, if they can make us self sustaining and a team we enjoy watching. But it gets more and more difficult for them everyday. The is no sign of them starting to make good decisions.

There's no redemption for them. That would require us to return to being clearly the best of the rest in the PL, challenging the Top 4, having a young squad worth 100's of millions etc. They driven us so low in such a short space of time, that returning us to a yo-yo club or even a lower PL team is not good enough from where they were. They've also dragged the club's name through the mud with their inept financial management. A new owner gets a fresh start and we might be content with those kinds of positions, but not under this regime.

What is the plan for our club as a business this season?

 

1) To draw a line under the FFP sanctions, and not get back in the same mess.

2) To get the playing staff wage bill under control by selling the expensive ones and winding down contracts. 

3) To not get relegated by the points deduction, and to sneak into the promotion slots if possible.

4) To have a manager willing to work with what he has got and the youth team, and all on a shoestring. If it isn't Marti then it will be someone else like him, or worse like RVN

 

This sort of restructuring is going to be the same with or without KP in charge, and it is unlikely to produce scintillating football on the pitch. 

 

What interests me as a season ticket holder and active supporter is seeing some sort of long term strategy beyond fixing the finances. We won't really know if there is until the end of the season and the summer window, but I expect it to be a slow rebuild in the Championship over several seasons. There is no magic wand.

Brother   it would start by clearing out the board and advisors.  I cant imagine that rudkin or herilhy can play a part.

 

I would add 5.  To rebuild the confidence of the fans

Even when King Power did have this ambition, they messed it up by rubbish squad building and giving Rodgers full power in the transfer market.

 

Funniest part is we didn't even get Top 4 in both years, we choked hard twice in a row and came 5th. 

 

Wasting away playing the likes of Slavia Prague and Spartak Moscow 

 

Rudkin is so incompetent he allowed Rodgers to launder money to his agency mates and family members through transfer commissions of buying awful players, making the squad worse than it was.

You are right in all of this

 

But I’m not sure we even have a plan. 
 

And if we did, what makes you think KP are capable of turning the club’s predicament around? A predicament they’ve created for themselves by standing by and doing absolutely nothing for 5 years?

Plans are for wusses. Real businesses, the ones with huge balls and all that, like to free fall into the depths of uncertainty. It makes things more interesting.

[Eskay]

So I've been given some info today from a very well placed source. I can't reveal absolutely everything I was told as it will be obvious who has spoken to me. The key bits are not really surprising. 

 

Rudkins move is actually a promotion. He takes up whelans responsibilities alongside his existing ones. 

 

Top makes every decision and is very hands on. However.....he doesn't move quickly enough. At the moment polo/horses are taking priority and the issues around Leicester are in the back seat for now. 

The club's staff are more than aware of the many issues but are powerless. Top really isn't around. 

 

It's the main reason we haven't managed to hire a technical director. Things move far too slowly. As a club the systems/processes are light years behind where they need to be. 

 

The club are expecting and planning for a 6 point deduction. They think that even with this they can make play offs.

The rest is kinda obvious, but this bit is just delusional

I guess I didn't realise the extent to which the club can't get anything done unless Top is driving it.....yet he is ****ing about with horses etc instead of focusing on the issues at the club.

None of this is any surprise 

 

Particularly the bit about him tossing around with horses whilst we’re sinking like The Belgrano

Mark of a coward. If it goes right, it’s only you. When it goes wrong, say it’s not your fault. 
 

The admin of this forum doesn’t like any bad said against Top, Aiyawatt, the c word but reading things like this really does show him up. 

[PAULCFC]

That seems in line with Tops unconvincing speach,unlike his dad who actually did things to rectify situations.Top seem's to talk the talk,but can't walk the walk......Which goes back to the argument that we are owned by the same family,but very different people are running the show.

I can today exclusively reveal that I am this man's source. 

 

I've decided to out myself by revealing the two other key pieces of information that Eskay held back to protect me. 

 

1. The pope is a Catholic.

2. Bears shit in the woods. 

[Parafox]

Just reading through the posts on this topic and my conclusion is that quite simply, Rodgers deliberately ****ed us over and Rudkin was so in love with Rodgers that he failed to see what was happening and act to bin the snake before his poison took hold and now Top couldn't give a flying fvk about us.

 

As a result, we're drifting in open sea without a lifeboat.

A 6 point deduction leaves us 10 points from 6th. We aren't making that gap up.

If he does, that's not what comes across. And the decisions he seems to have made in appointing replacements on the board look quite like nepotism which would appear to fit his character profile.

Leicester under Aiyawatt encapsulated isn't it.

 

Move at a glacial pace on everything because they think everything's going to be OK.

 

Rudkin seems to get more powerful the worse things get. As suspected Whelan, for her faults, was probably stopping things getting even worse than they already are.

 

It's just the most ridiculously run, most delusional set up you could ever imagine. I really do wonder how far down they will actually be allowed to take us.

Makes a lot of sense given what we observe about football and non-football related matters. Shambles and what a joke we’ve become and in large part because the owner isn’t interested. Couldn’t make it up, and people defend someone who isn’t interested! I feel sorry for them.

If even half of this is true (and let’s be honest, most of it probably is, it’s not too hard to see) then we are doubly ****ed.

 

just need them gone

[Claudio Fannieri]

What’s interesting is if a player downs tools or effectively checks out they are rightly called out and criticised, surely the same applies to the owner especially given the impact this is having on the demise of the club is far greater than any disinterested player.

Remember all these quotes and stuff when we're in League 1 or in administration in the near future. They'll all be saying they wanted Top gone years ago etc.

Yep - keep your screenshots. They will deny it when it comes to it. Absolute guarantee.

The King Power fans are happy for us to be second to a bunch of horses playing hockey.

Staff keeping the lights on will start jumping ship soon, it’ll implode 

[SafewayFox]

Can Top genuinely do anything to get all the fans back on board?

 

Previously, I thought replacing Rudkin would do this, but genuinely think that too much incompetency has tarnished KPFC.
