King Power Out

[WarwickshireFox]

Top’s decision making has been so bad it leads me to think whether he’s doing it deliberately?
 

Are secret Forest supporters (the KGB) leveraging a load of Kompramat on him so we are subjected to the lower leagues forever?

Get these tied up all around the ground.

Personally think Vichai's success and nous is completely overstated. Appointed several shite managers, only really Pearson did well and that was on Birch's recco.

 

We won the league which was one in a trillion. Several ****ing awful decisions - notably Puel.

 

That said he was miles better than Top.

There was that other bloke that won the Premier League, forgotten his name.

 

It’s extremely weird that Pearson gets a pass for underachieving with a great side and being in a relegation scrap, yet the manager who masterminded the greatest overachievement in the history of English football doesn’t, and is even actively disrespected by our fans.

 

Meanwhile we’ve got some trying to argue Puel was a success. Up is down, black is white.

We had success in both of Pearson's spells as manager. As I see it, that both times he left us better off, than before he arrived.

 

It wasn't just the results, or lack of them when he was in charge that was important to me as a fan. It was more the feelings I had about the club overall, including how I felt that the first team staff and players exemplified a culture I could positively identify with.

 

When the bigger success came after I was riding a crest of a wave with positivity about my club, however it felt like a bewilderment occured, along with that success. Within the club.

 

I think when Pearson and Walsh left, we lost competence within our first team player recruitment, almost like we now have these results which has risen expectations, now that we aren't repeating these successes, we don't know why, so maybe throwing more money at it could bring the answer... It's not their money they are spending, it's Tops, but who proposes and then agrees to the budgets? 

 

Ultimately Top, but having seen the recent interviews, at best he seems a naive man.

I don’t disagree with any of that. I was always a Pearson fan. My criticisms of him in 2014/15 don’t diminish that.

 

What I take issue with is that he takes credit for Ranieri’s title winning tactics - which he didn’t generally employ himself. You don’t pull off what we pulled off, with largely inferior players, without being tactically astute. That was never Pearson’s strong point and as much as I love him, we’d never have finished higher than 7th with him.

 

Just some respect on Claudio’s name would be nice on this forum. For the poster I was quoting to say that he didn’t ‘do well’ is obviously false. Seems a cultural trait that we just repeat this Pearson worshipping because it’s a comfortable narrative until it has rewritten history. Pearson had his limitations, and even for a long-time KP hater like me, I can accept Vichai made more than one correct decision (even if more by luck than judgement!).
 

Ranieri did well, not because of what Pearson did, but because of what Ranieri did. It’s as simple as that.

I agree re the tactics, but we can only presume with what would have happened with Pearson after. 

 

Managers can be judged on results and their transfer record.

 

Pearson was successful in both. 

 

Ranieri much more on the pitch, bit less so off it, if we had to compare. I'm not suggesting it's a high percentage it's Claudio's fault, or lack of his ability. 

 

The main players were recruited under Pearsons tenure or played for him. 

Pearson created that culture here which won us the league. Claudio chang d our tactics after Arsenal and we caught lightening.

I'd argue the same on Rodgers which won us the FA Cup and took us to two top 5 finishes but he's even more disrespected.

Is there anyone on this forum King Power in still? Would be fascinated to know whom.

Pearson didn’t underachieve. We made it back to the PL after 10 years away and our worst spell in the clubs history (that he fixed and then fixed again after he was removed and we went backwards) and we just didn’t hit the ground running. Even when we were cut adrift before the great escape, we were better than that. Thing games like Liverpool away where they had 2 nonsense pens. Lots of close games we just fell short.

 

In terms of Ranieri, I don’t think it is a case of disrespecting him. If we are looking back and judging managerial appointments, it was clear that it was a choice based on name after Pearson left. There wasn’t strategic thinking to the appointment. So you can think wow, he managed us to our greatest achievement and is in the record books whilst questioning the credit that should go to the owner for the appointment based on it essentially, being lucky.

 

Puel, he wasn’t a success but he gets massively unfair treatment on here due to his accent in interviews. We had gone from winning the league to relegation battles under Ranieri and Shakespeare and weren’t really settled as a PL side despite the title win, and with an aging squad. It wasn’t pretty on the eyes but he stabilised us and with Macia, brought in many of the players who Rodgers benefited from and won the FA cup.

Probably some 

 

The only reasons people support them are low IQ slop at this point anyway 

 

“Be careful what you wish for”

 

”Whose going to buy us”

 

”He’s still one of us”

But many of these people will genuinely be intelligent people who have done well in general life but when it comes to this, it all goes out the window and they spout drivel like this. 
 

Genuinely, it is an actual cult. Not using it as an insult or being over dramatic. It 100% is.

As much as I love Claudio we NEVER EVER win that league title without the years of input from Pearson, his team, the structure set up going back to 2009. Claudio was the right man manager at the right time,  with the right skill to continue riding the wave started in the Great escape season. He did a fantastic job. 

 

Its by no small coincidence that Claudio after winning the league started to change little things, bring in his own methods and we struggled comparatively. Its a shame. He took out things like sports psychology that is a massive thing on player mentality, he took out some of the sports science and technical analytics as he didn't believe in it, it was all pretty new at that time but it had impact, I don't know if it was ever replaced to the level under Pearson.

Leicester are your team, following a premier league team just won’t be the same, who will you pick and how? These things just can’t be chopped and changed . 
I once had a mate, we always used to go Filbert St together, we lost touch and he sadly passed away, his coffin came out draped in a Man Utd flag, just couldn’t believe it, I just don’t understand changing teams. 

Yeah I think I wrote that in anger tbh, I'll always love Leicester I'm beyond livid now, I can watch other games but the heart remains in one place

We're ****ed!!! King Power really need to **** off now.

I dont think anyone above the manager has any idea whats going on. 

 

Its an absolute disaster. Anyone supporting these lot are not leicester fans imo. Watching our club die, clapping along because of a success 10 years ago that these people had nothing to do with.

[Haywood_6]

It's already been said a million times already but we're finished. Until King Power f*'cks off the rot will continue. We're going down and everyone knows it.

[Philkeavo]

We have to take back our club by any means necessary. There has to be loud and sustained protests until the little shit does the right thing.
