I do agree, but I genuinely don't ever see our fans doing what theirs did away here. Our potential is capped.

 

Even if we had a phoenix club I think a sizeable number would still want it to still have some sort of tribute to KP in it.

 

Flaccid fanbase.

If we have a Phoenix club, I’m certain there will be a split in the same way Bury was, Enfield is, Northwich is and Hinckley is/was
 

Although the reality is those who want to actually get involved will be the same faces amongst the protest now. Probably with better crowds but at a lower level. You’d have another version with more cash and higher level but lacking a real community to it.

Even the crappy derby have lost fewer games then us 🤣🤣.

😂 The less said about Hinckley’s split the better I feel, serious amount of bad feeling there.

No you're right, can't stand him. That's why I forgot the 'c'. Marc can stay in Tamworth for all I care

I know this is looking waaaaaaay down the line but I honestly think things would be unbearable even if we had new owners (the behaviour of KPFC fans not the football side) 

 

[Officer Doofy]

I think we have the lowest IQ owner in the entire professional game. 

 

Top couldn't pour the piss out of his shoes if you told him the instructions were on the sole.

I did watch something on that with the former Sunderland owner that turned them around…  and he didn’t hold back and said the same thing, let’s face it a rich kid got richer and played with toys… the club was his dads passion. When Khun Top took over from his dad the club was in a fantastic position, with some of the best young players in the country… we were respected looked upon now… now just a laughing stock

I don't see that last bit happening. I couldn't see any pro-ownership fans getting involved with a Phoenix club.

Spent the 11th most on wages in PL

history and we’re starting down the barrel of a 3rd relegation in 4 years. Aiyawatt inherited a club with the best foundation it’s ever had, literally the best ever era. We finished 5th in his first full season and he’s presided over a decline that is essentially unimaginable.

 

The odds of this decline would be in the 1000s. He’s essentially worked harder to destroy this than what everybody that came before him did to build it.

Just seen another post on insta about West Ham fans wanting their owners and board out whether they stay up or not and it's made me realise how much worse our drop off has been and continues to be, yet so many refuse to accept it. 

 

Theirs is justified, but ours is a whole new level.

Unfortunately even when administration rears it's ugly head there will undoubtedly be "fans" who will show loyalty to the very people who put us in that position. Feels like administration is the only way to get rid of King Power.

[David Guiza II]

I heard a quote from Matt Forde about Brian Clough and Nottingham Forest, comparing their journey with one another as being akin to The Showman. His reasoning was that it was an amazing, magical, experience that ultimately ended with the boy being left exactly where he started.

 

There are definitely parallels with King Power, except instead of being back where we started the King Power Snowman has let go of the boy whilst flying over the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

And people still can’t grasp why this situation could spell the end of the club? There’s your answer.

Jake raised a good point on the BSLB pod. We’ve seen a lot of people say “back the lads support the team” to then precede to sit in a placid atmosphere, and **** off at 0-2? Why is that?

Because thats what a lot do in the ground. We turn up as Leicester fans so yes that is some form of backing but vocally backing them we don’t seem to.

Year on year you see less and less singing. It’s such a shame.

I think the saddest thing for me is that the actions of Top and Rudkin are now making me question whether Vichai was actually any different. Did I simply get caught up in the narrative as a miracle unfolded. 

 

I've been reflecting, and some of the happenings prior to Vichai's sad passing do make me wonder whether Top is actually a reflection of his father. The crazy spending with the marquee signings in the EFL, his bold statement of spending £180m to achieve top 5 status in our first season back in the PL, the farcical signings after achieving the impossible, failing to capitalise when we had a worldwide audience, the Adrian Silva debacle, and signings on high wages deviating from the model that had made us a success. These are but a few examples, but were largely overlooked at the time because of what we achieved. 

 

The sequence of events leading to that success were not planned for. Take nothing away from the achievement, it was the greatest story in the history of sport and fully deserved, but had they gone through with the Pearson sacking before making a u-turn, we probably would have been back in the EFL the following season. Likewise, no one could have anticipated what would happen at the end of the season. Had Pearson's son not done what he did, then Ranieri likely wouldn't have been appointed, and as much as I love Big Nige, I very much doubt he'd have led us to the PL title. 

 

If that miracle had not occurred, Vichai's statement that we'd be a top 5 side within 3 years would have been ridiculed similar to Top's recent declaration that 'we promote next season'. 

 

If, buts, and maybes, of course. But one has to question whether we'd have eventually arrived at this point under KP regardless of the figurehead.

One difference, personality wise on Vichai vs Top - is that the club did appear to have a much better 'culture' under him. But that could well be down to individuals - Pearson, Whelan, crop of players etc. 

 

Ultimately I think the main difference between Vichai and Top eras is that we simply signed tranches of players that were simply worse under Top than those under Vichai. And from their the death spiral on and off the pitch comes about. As you say, I think systemically/structurally the club was actually quite similar in both eras, but better players in the early days insulated us from it a lot of the time. 

[Officer Doofy]

Of course Vichai was different.

Seeing Norwich fans protests is where it hit me. This is Norwich City - a slightly smaller club, who have fallen a fraction as far, who have since passed us and totally outplayed us at our own ground at the weekend.

 

Every clubs fans have higher standards than ours - and we've more reason to be pissed off than 90% of clubs minimum.

 

It's mental.

The hinckley situation was weird. The club got would up but the pitch had been moved into a new company by one of the directors... i was surprised that the receiver didnt get it back.. but he settled with the new owner.  All the other hinkley sharehokders were left high and dry.  But didnt want to put money into fighting it

 

So the guy running thr company owning the pitch started a new club.

Supporters who were unhappy started a rival club.

So there wasnt a split in the fans as such ... it was more that one director ended up owning the pitch!

It could only happen in hinckley.

You mean the Khunt didn’t personally rebuild the LRI???

[FoxesTalker]

This isn’t meant to sound like one of those ‘better fan’ posts, but the continuing theme of people in the fanbase who dismiss any anti-KP arguments lead me to think more and more that they aren’t actually overly invested in supporting LCFC. Because surely if they were, they’d be more clued up about the overall situation. Some of the comments on social media are so ludicrous at times, that it almost does make you believe they are accounts associated to the club in some way.
