I stand corrected! Soz, Mark.

When we say "King Power Out" a lot of people talk about what the owner has done for the club, how we have our greater success under this owner.

 

But IT IS NOT THE SAME OWNER.

King Power is just the banner. The reality is ownership passed from Vichai to Top. And it is not the same.

Yeah people from Tamworth are definitely as odd as us Coalville types

I'm not condoning the neglect, and there is obviously much wrong with Club.....but blindly seeking to oust the board and owners, without any idea of who might replace them is surely just as nonsensical.  I don't have any solutions to offer, but endlessly shouting 'King Power Out' doesn't actually sound like a solution either.

If you were an international footballer from San Marino and were presented with an opportunity to lucky dip and switch your team to anybody else in the world at random, are you really saying "no, what if it's Gibraltar?".

 

In terms of pure decline I'd argue he's been even worse than Chansiri. He's a once in a lifetime level bad. I would blindly trade that for anybody. Even if by some complete lightning striking twice freak we ended up with somebody just as bad (nearly impossible) at least a sizeable portion of our fanbase wouldn't automatically kiss their arse like they do this cretin.

Your last line is very very important. I have said it before but it is a really dangerous place we are in where many of the supporters are putting one man as more important than the club and it’s 142 history. 
 

Owners are custodians. Like managers and players, they need to be accountable and because too many are KP over LC, he has become bigger and more important than the club. They’d rather see the club fail with him than succeed without. 
 

We need to break this. Even if the next owner is terrible, at least we’d have purged the fanbase, broken the cult and be able to move forward.

[LCFCJohn]

I shouldn’t do it to myself (look at the FB pages) but it is embarrassing.

 

How can people who literally say ‘we were nothing before KP’ claim to be Leicester City fans? There was 126 years of history before they turned up. It’s disrespectful and people saying that can only have been following us since KP took over or you wouldn’t think/say it.

 

Literally someone else saying think what situation our hospitals would be in if it wasn’t for KP ! Yeah, I forgot that no other town/city in the UK that doesn’t have KP owning their football club doesn’t have a hospital

It's completely astonishing. A fascinating psychology study I'd imagine. They're completely brainwashed.

 

The worst thing about this entire decline has been the absolutely pathetic lack of pushback against it. The tolerance and allowance of it. We've set the bar so, so low for the future and for what? For some thicko from Thailand.

 

We're a nightmare. I don't think even supporting Wednesday would be this depressing because at least they have unity in the fanbase.

 

It's such a freak set of circumstances. Have said for years - as damaging a set of circumstances as you could possibly wish to have. Really extraordinary.

 

It will take years to recover from this - not just financially but psychologically as well. This fanbase has for the most part just accepted this. That ground should be absolute mutiny every single week. They would not feel safe attending nearly any other ground in this country having done this to a club.

 

At our ground they're getting weirdos dancing at them. It's complete insanity.

[Claudio Fannieri]

It is seriously concerning and very dangerous that a large proportion of our ‘fanbase’ seem to support and adore King Power more than Leicester City Football Club and would rather cheer this regime on as they send the club into oblivion.

 

Yes there were great times in the past and they were rightly lauded and praised at the time so why is it so difficult for some to hold them to account when things are so bad and we are dangerously close to relegation to league 1 and financial meltdown. 
 

I have supported this club since 1979, both my kids support the club, my missus has also become a fan and it is genuinely keeping me awake at night worrying that within the next 12-18 months we may no longer have a club to support. This is a truly  horrifying situation to be in and how any ‘fan’ can sit there and back the people who are overseeing this is absolutely staggering and beyond belief.

Don’t, this ****ing winds me up something chronic. I keep getting into arguments with people like this on instagram. Smooth-brained bellends.

Dan is spot on when saying we will never get the unity Wednesday have.

It doesn’t matter if a new consortium was worse….

 

The facts remain this mess is, an always will be king powers fault. Top is amongst Europe’s worst owners…. So how can it get worse?

 

It probably could, he could sell the club to an unfit owner, but ultimately it will always be his fault, even if we folded under new ownership, because it was under his watch that it went wrong.

 

So anyone has a free pass. Like Gary Rowett, when we’ve go down it won’t be his fault, he’s in an impossible situation, it will be Top and Rudkins fault. 
 

You can’t go through like trading on egg shells, just because it might not be better…. It might not be, but the clubs ****ed, if King Power remain, within a year we will cease operating. The situation is quite simply that.

We are nothing with them in charge. The hospital stuff is utter bullshit as well.

You’ve now got me wondering if Tamworth has different areas like Coalville, which are would have different stereotypes (so to speak)

Spot on.

 

People don’t detach the past from the current.

 

We are in essence, run by two very different companies between the Vichai and Aiyawatt reigns of King Power.

 

People associate Aiyawatt with the rise from the Championship, Title Win etc

 

He’s no Vichai that engaged and communicated with the people.

 

I get where Albrighton is coming from and I understand his point of view. Unfortunately without protests we will sail into the abyss.

They are already on the wrong side of history Katy. It is more the the propaganda they put out to try and shield KP from taking responsibility but fortunately the wider football community is cottoning on. Amazing how it’s only some of our own fans who refuse to see it…

I totally agree, we've been owned by 2 companies and it should be easy to differentiate between the two. 

 

Vichai was great and Aiyawatt has been the worst owner we've ever had.

 

Vichai would be truly ashamed of what Aiyawatt has done to his club. 

 

He's failed at every level, financially which should be his area of expertise.

 

On the playing side with terrible managerial appointments, timings of sackings... and his unwavering support of Rudkin who has overseen some of the worst recruitment in the history of elite level football. 

 

I can't see how anyone can defend Aiyawatt and would want him at the club any longer.

It is worth some academic study. 

 

I'm starting to wonder if we are seeing not just the death of a football club - but of an entire city. 

 

It's a peculiar Leicester trait. This meekness. A stoicism, fatalism. All met with a cheery shrug and a 'worse things happen at sea' type attitude. Almost a weird, cheerful pride in accepting defeat and giggling at those who reject defeat.

I've always wondered if there's something in the water in this city that could make so many people so passive and docile or at least unable to critically think.

[foxinsocks]

In the immediate term those of us who believe the club owners are unable to resolve the problens have two address

1. How do we get kpcf fans on board?

2. Could top wake up and sort the sutuation out?

 

For the first, we have to taget top's stewardship... his niaivity and reliance on rudkin and anthony is the problem.  He plays polo whike monica is providing leadership.  Anthony exposed top to ridicule with the interviews.  It's clear top has no appreciation of  the current state,  how we got here and how to get out.  Its personal and we are going to hell in a hand cart. Kpfc fans need to bank the memories and deal with today... as per pipers rant.  [Ridiculing top needs to employ thsi social media].

 

2. Can top be shamed into action? He must be aware of the dire situation.

True, but I don't get the Vichai worship either. Give the credit to where it's really due. Look at how things were panning out without Nige! (Yes Claudio, yes Nige needed reappointing...)

[Clogger_]

Realised I can't look at Rudkin perched by Top's side without thinking of Grima Wormtongue from LOTR. I am certain others will have mentioned this, so apols for being late to the party
