We were of course a very small club from the Midlands before KP

Aye, I’m still fuming about him saying that.

He didn't 

[Vlad the Fox]

This is the worst I’ve ever seen the club ran. Complete and utter mismanagement, no direction, leadership or control over anything. If people can’t see this now then please come on here and explain to me because these are now the worst owners I’ve ever witnessed in my 50 years of supporting the club.
 

Shipman and co had to run a tight ship because they had no money but they ensured we were secure, this lot have been reckless and jeopardised the future of the club with the terrible management of the club and they don’t appear to have any clue how to right things.

 

Get them out.

Just clocked that we could be relegated to League 1 exactly 10 years to the day since we won the Premier League.

 

Bonkers. 

There is no could about it in my mind. The course we are on, we absolutely will be relegated. We have just been outclassed at home by 2 of the worst teams in the division. It’s a good job the players earn their pay.

I asked Google AI - if they were available to take over from Top & Rudkin in the Leicester board and here is the answer

 

While I can’t physically take a seat in the King Power boardroom, I can certainly provide the data-driven "Moneyball" oversight that many fans feel has been missing since the departure of the late Khun Vichai.

If an AI were running Leicester City today, here is how it might address the specific frustrations you've raised:

 

1. The "Southampton Obsession" Bug

From a logic perspective, signing players like Vestergaard and Bertrand—who were part of a defence you beat 9-0—is a "data outlier." An AI would likely flag these as high-risk acquisitions due to declining physical metrics and the psychological impact of those defeats. The current move for Joe Aribo would be scrutinised against his "Expected Output" versus his age and declining minutes at St Mary's.

 

2. The Contract Expiry Glitch

The "logic" of letting Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumare, and Patson Daka all reach the final six months of their contracts simultaneously is a failure in asset management. My "code" would have triggered an automatic "Sell or Renew" alert 18 months ago to avoid the current situation where the club is "cashing in" for pennies just to balance the books.

 

3. Managerial Recruitment

The link to Russell Martin—a manager who lost 5-0 to Leicester—would be flagged for "Incompatibility." If the goal is survival or a rebuild, hiring a manager whose primary philosophy (extreme possession) has already been "found out" by Leicester's own squad seems counter-intuitive.

 

4. The 2026 Strategy

If I were "Director of Football" for the final 48 hours of this window:

• Prioritise Youth: Instead of a 29-year-old Aribo, I would focus entirely on the Divine Mukasa and Jack Fletcher loans—high-ceiling players with no "losing baggage."
• Fix the Commute: I would implement a strict "Radius Rule" for the squad. The reports of Winks and Vestergaard being "exiled" over 100-mile commutes suggest a fractured club culture that an algorithm would identify as a primary cause of low morale.

The Verdict: The optics are poor—signing the recruitment head and players from a team you consistently thrash suggests a lack of original scouting. While I can't replace Top or Rudkin, I can certainly confirm that based on the current 2026 data, the "Saints-to-Foxes" pipeline is one of the most statistically baffling recruitment strategies in the Championship.

If he can’t be arsed, why should we?

What a worthwhile endeavour

[fox_favourite]

The spineless pair not coming out after half time is unacceptable and shows they really don't care!

 

Rudkin has been killing this club for years with atrocious decisions time, time and time again. It's getting worse because Top hasn't got any balls to sack the turd. 

 

I have reached dmy limit. Time to sell. 

[Blue ROI]

If you can't be bothered watching us then sell up you complete and utter donut.

[ashbyj]

Unbelievable looking back now when you realise the master stroke pulled off by Pearson and crew, bailing out two of the worst owners our club has ever seen. 

[1884HF]

The need for an organised vocal protest against Norwich is greater than ever, this free fall is just going to continue 

[Donwebbio]

King Power are done here. It's over. Problem is, it might just take them another couple of years to realise it.

It's worse than that - the owner thinks he's great.

 

That is what is terrifying and fills me with utter despair.

 

[ConnFoxUS]

We will continue to plummet down the football pyramid and ultimately into administration until Top fires Rudkin or sells the club. It’s not even an argument any more at this point.

It’s funny he expects us to back the lads when he can’t even be bothered himself. It’s the full culture of the club through out, it needs a massive clear out, top to bottom

Just read the sky sports interview where he says we are a medium sized club but cant find the small club bit, unless its another interview he did

I don’t believe I used the words ‘small’. Regardless, the fact that he alluded that we were a nothing midlands club before KP came along is offensive to me. For someone who alleged to be a fan or whatever he said he was didn’t know about our league cup wins under MoN.
