Including interim appointments but excluding caretakers we are now onto our 7th manager in 2 years ……….. we have gone from Rodgers and Enzo to Cooper, Cifuentes and now Rowett, and yet some still say trust KP to learn or give them time to get it right.

 

The last 3 permanent managers have been sacked within 6 months that is appalling recruitment and demonstrates a complete lack of forward planning and strategic thinking. 
 

We are literally another 12 months away from welcoming Steve Bruce or Steve Evans through the door under this ownership. 
 

Absolutely horrendous and gives me zero hope or confidence that they will ever recover the situation here. 

Absolutely. Regardless of what happens next, they are done here. Even if Rowett comes in and wins 8/9 games and we cruise to safety. Zero credit as they messed around and clearly didn’t want him. Same as this technical director. Even if he turns out to be excellent, it’s luck and not judgment.

 

I have said it before and absolutely happy to be quoted down the line, but we are never playing PL football again whilst Aiyawatt/Rudkin are here. The best hope we have would be a Charlton type existence where we become a yo-yo club between the Championship and League 1 and the KP lot get their wish having constantly talked us down as a small club….

Spot on. You would think that after breathing the rarefied air at the top of the game, all of our fans would have the greed for more, an over-inflated sense of entitlement. Instead, these KP loyalists believe we have no right to be a decent team again and that we should be grateful for whatever is served up and see any mistakes made by Top/Rudkin as all part of the ups and downs of having the best owners in football.

 

After winning the title, the absolute bare minimum achievement 10 years on would be sitting where Fulham are, not in danger of relegation but not currently challenging for honours or Europe. Bare minimum. What we have is catastrophic leadership failure and the biggest demise the game has ever seen.

Blackburn.

Leeds 

Nottingham Forest

 

 

Not saying we're not badly run, but we're hardly unique.

I think Blackburn are different as they spent heavily via a wealthy owner and once he passed on, the money dried up and they have found their natural level since. Leeds won the league in 1992 and stayed in the prem for another 12 seasons including 7 top 5 finishes before dropping down. Forest won the league in 1978 and had 14 subsequent seasons in the top flight and 5 top 5 finishes.

 

Our decline after Vichai's passing was much more sudden. It was only the recruitment under Macia & Puel that bought us some time and paved the way for another successful couple of years under Rodgers before the rot set in.

Agreed. To be honest, even if we had stretched ourselves out of genuine ambition, and then the PSR rules started to be enforced and it had caused us to struggle having to take a step back, I could have accepted that in a certain case.

 

The year we went down, it has to be said that Fulham and Bournemouth particularly did come up and performed very strongly. Forest to a lesser extent as well, or rather they were just the luckiest team going. It was an awful year to struggle and dip ourselves compared to if we had survived that season and had Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton the next season!

 

Had we had to ship out some higher earners, bring in younger players from the EFL or abroad and had gone down out of a transitional phase and come back stronger, I’d have been ok with that. And I don’t mean the Maresca season as that was papering over the cracks as we were still signing players with crap attitudes on high wages which is why I don’t praise Maresca like others do.

 

My issue is that things weren’t learned from. The vast majority of the players we have an issue with now we signed or extended since that summer, with the exception of Daka and Faes. Still high wages, still poor attitudes and/or mentality.

None of them fell as far as us as fast. Maybe Leeds. Maybe.

 

But Notts forest and Blackburn didn't go from the brink of a European final to a second tier relegation battle, points deduction and looming financial oblivion in under 4 years.

Worth noting that they might have done if financial rules were as strict as they are now.

You could easily add Spurs and Manchester United to that list.

 

There’s also growing fan discontent at Brighton I understand.

 

Turns out, this competitive football at the top level is not as easy as a lot on here make out and that success / progression is very rarely linear.

CL semi final and top five finishes,to 3rd tier,points reduction and financial ruin in five years or so.It has to be Leeds.The Portsmouth soap opera ponzi scheme was also a painful watch.

Change is happening - yes. We've changed from a premier League team into a championship team and soon into a bankrupt league one team. Soon we'll be at the lowest point in the clubs entire history, after 10 years from being the best team in the country.

 

Keep running the club this badly and we might change from a football club into a liquidated pile of assets sold for housing.

We too good to go down

 

We promote next season....

The thing that amazes me is that we've broken all of these financial rules by creating a team that would lose about 7-0 to players we've got rid of.

 

Imagine our team now playing against 2026 versions of

 

Schmeichel

Castagne Maguire Fofana Chilwell

Tielemans Ndidi

Maddison Perez Barmes

Vardy

 

Loads more names I could have listed. No disrespect to him personally but a team that starts Matty James is 16 points ahead of us... unbelievable collapse.

Top would love being a YoYo club! He’d hold a parade for promotion from League 1 every year and celebrate like we’d won the Champions League with loads of Influencers who he’s paid to attend.

It’s even worse the that.

 

I think we’d lose to this team. These are all

playing in the Championship this season. 

 

GK - Iversen

 

LB - Schlupp

CB - Coady

CB - Doyle

RB - Brunt
 

LM - Gray

CM - James

CM - Mendy

RM - McAteer

 

ST - Cannon

ST - Hirst

 

S1 - Ward

Don’t even! 
 

I was talking to a Sheff Weds fan at work and was telling him all the crap they have pulled. 
 

Hogging the trophy in 2016, picture of the Thai king, removing references to our past in the stadium, the Thailand/Cambodia nonsense on the big screens, influencers on the pitch and in the parade in 2024. He said that sounds Chansiri all over. Apparently they had a silence when someone important in Thailand passed away!

 

And lots of this was under Vichai as well. The developing of this KP over LC culture started from when they came. There has always been a lack of respect for the history of the club. This is why I don’t look back on Vichai fondly. 
 

It seems one of the reasons he is constantly defended despite all the above is giving money to the hospitals. Do we even know how that works out relative to wealth? Relatively speaking, it’s probably like one of us giving £100 to charity. A lovely gesture yes but I wouldn’t expect to be in permanent folklore for that charity as a result!

On the donation to hospitals....they announced it but it took 3 years to arrive and it was only when the local press started asking questions it actually happened.

 

Always been a vanity project. They ruined the prem title celebrations as well - vichai and top wanted to lift the trophy rather than Wes Morgan. The Premier league had to stop them on that.

Not things I was aware of!

 

Even worse then. Even if the donations were forthcoming and more willingly given, I still think it is overplayed all these years on. A nice gesture related to wealth.

 

As for the trophy lift, where is this information from? Surely not!

 

Always been a lack of respect for the club. They were lucky we had the success we did (thanks to others such as Pearson and co and Ranieri) as otherwise they’d have had nowhere to hide.

Lazy, sloppy, virtue signalling and lacking accountability just like the idiots they worship.

We just have to hope that Rowett can make the players pull something out the bag for the remaining games otherwise it’s this fella for us.

Through work i sat next to the guy who organises these things at the Premier league. It was at the Spurs game where we list 4-3 at wembley at the end of the season.
