I keep banging on and on, but those few who are prepared to stand up for their club - a pathetic 200 - need to relocate to the west stand as close to the (empty) director (singular!) box as possible and make their voices heard. 

 

I'll do it. 

 

200 would be enough for this to look dramatic 

 

As for any future phoenix club, if only there was a practical way to ban the drongos from supporting the new club. 

 

 

I sit the West Stand and finally plucked the courage to complain yesterday about the yellow jacket searches at every single fvcking game for the last two seasons. The only other area where bag and body searches are applied as a routine is the away end. The official didn’t know why this was the case but I personally think it is to suppress and pacify any protests that breakout too close to our ‘Dear Leader’ and his minion.

 

I’ve given up trying to drum up some atmosphere and decided to relocate to the East Stand.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what happens to this club, there will be still be people who won’t hear a word said against ‘the family’. We could cease to exist and it will always be someone else’s fault. I think there needs to be some sort of psychological study conducted on these people because there’s something inherently wrong there.
 

If these people supported Leicester City pre-KP ownership then why have they shifted their allegiance from supporting the actual club to a random family from Thailand who they didn’t know from Adam pre-2010? Because they sure as hell don’t support the club anymore, they can’t do, else they’d be horrified as to what’s happened and is happening to it. Someone please help me out here because I don’t understand this weird parasocial relationship some have with Aiyawatt. It can’t just be because his dad died in a horrible accident, as horrific as that was it doesn’t absolve you from any criticism for the rest of your life, surely?
 

I just feel like I’ve had enough now, I’ve lost my fight for it all. It just feels like there’s more of ‘them’ than the people who are actually worried sick about the future of the club and are prepared to do something about it. The protests have been a bit meh if we’re honest and just not enough people care or are prepared to fight for the club. Don’t get me wrong, I still very much care and I always will but my energy is very low because of the Aiyawatt fan club. 
 

Sorry for the mega post. 

It’s a cult Katy. They’d do and forgive anything for their leader.

honestly it's not, there's a lot who are still KP in and were fans before 2010. The issue is not being able to disconnect the present from the recent past and Aiyawatt from Vichai. They're looking at king powers ownership coinciding with a great period of success, fa cup, title, a first ever CL campaign, and can't see that this is not the same ownership currently that delivered that.

I know you’re right.

 

I get fed up seeing the comments about people who don’t support the ownership being 2016 onwards which is obviously complete crap. 
 

Of course not all of them are KP era onwards. But I have said before, there was loads who came out the woodwork around 2014. I remember the stadium suddenly being full after years of lower attendances. So I think there is definitely an element of a lot of them being these types who didn’t experience LCFC before KP.

They can't search for booing and heckling. 

 

I think the effect of two hundred people booing him into his seat and a raucous 'KP Out' chant within meters of his holiness would be huge. 

 

Of course, there will be the drongos who'll start clapping him to counter act it. But he'll fcking know, for once, what Leicester people look like who aren't beta eunuchs.

a movement like this will probably not be sorted for this season but I reckon first home game of next season whether league 1 oblivion or championship this NEEDS to happen - a fund set up to help pay for people to relocate tickets, im a staunch supporter of protest marches and look forward to em but I really think action after the game is VERY important

When comparing the 2 losses, we need to factor in:

 

1) Hsrdly any player sales within the £71m loss, but significant sales in the previous year and will be again when the 25/26 accounts come out 

 

2) Player contract clauses, so the significant relegation wage reductions (maybe as high as 50%, based on the recent reports about Winks) in the 23/24 figures, with the reverse applying for 24/25

 

I understand that but that does not excuse or justify such an horrific increase in losses, we made strategic decisions to buy the players we did and the timing of the players we sold, regardless of the timing of such  decisions, largely we spunked a whole load of money on rank average players who have little or no sell on value. Our decision making last summer was largely horrific and has set us back 5-10 years

Yes but why? Is it solely because of the successes? Because if so, we’ve been in a steep decline since the FA Cup win. We can’t live in the past and our future is very bleak, they can’t keep blaming the EFL/EPL the buck needs to stop at the ownership at some point with them surely? Or am I being naive? 
 

I don’t know of a single club that has its owner idolised by its fans like ours does. It’s just plan weird, massively troubling AND extremely damaging to our future. 

[Lineker's Lugs]

For those of you despairing about the lack of numbers protesting against the owners, I think you need to bear in mind that it’s not just the KPFC brigade that aren’t getting involved.

 

There are also a lot of people who would say they support Leicester but simply no longer care enough.  They might be disillusioned with football in general (like me) or Leicester in particular but in either case they’ve drifted away.  Even if they think the departure of KP would be a good thing, they’re not going to travel in to protest on the day of a game they have no interest in watching.

 

Having largely disconnected from the club they have found they simply don’t miss it in the way they might have expected to when their support was at its most avid.  The club has dropped down their list of priorities.  They don’t actively want the club to fail but ultimately every defeat, every point deducted, even every relegation is now just water of a duck’s back.  They’ll just shrug and move on.  I just shrug and move on.  It simply doesn't really matter to me anymore.

And that is the saddest thing about all of this - people not caring enough. Apathy is the hardest thing to treat. Why are we like this?

I think you're missing the point of cults and how they function tbh, the moment things don't go the cults way it's because of enemies outside, in this case the protestors, the EFL/PL... It's never the responsibility of the leaders. They will absolutely keep blaming the EFL and PL as long as the club keeps telling them that those bodies are at fault, nothing to do with us guv

Maybe we should ask a cult member. Although in my limited knowledge of cults they will no doubt deny being a member of a cult.

To be honest, I’m glad I am missing the point! But yes, you’re right, although that in no way helps the club or the people not in the cult. The force is strong.

Saw a fella at one of the SK1 turnstyles really kick back at the searches. Good on him.

Their KP over LCFC backing has told me I have nothing in common with the majority of our fanbase so why fight it. It's either this or a phoenix club. Bring it on.

You’re trying rationalise their behaviour and devotion, don’t do that to yourself. There is no reasoning with stupidity.

Genuinely think a club without KP is simply unimaginable to the plurality of our fanbase

The continued attempted gaslighting and spin to the media that the likes of Rudkin and Kevin Davies have done a good job and it’s all PSR’s fault. 
 

No it isn’t even last year shows we are poorly ran and make bad decisions, we spent a fortune on Ayew, Okoli, Reid, Skipp, and Eduard we sacked two managers both ill thought out appointments on the way to a feeble relegation and posting a loss of over £70m. 
 

And now as it stands today we are staring relegation to league one flush in the face we have had the shame of our first ever points deduction and if we are relegated we are facing financial meltdown …….. the reaction to this is to promote the Director of Football and the Finance Director and give them both even more power and influence. Absolutely beggars belief. 

The Aribo signing in January especially tells you everything about how much they've learnt. I don't know what chunk of his wages we're paying but we spent all that time letting Soumare just burn out offering sod all and then found the nearest thing to him. Inefficient, stupid recruitment as usual.

 

No matter how many warnings they get, they're never the problem.

 

I see people cope on here with players contracts leaving and whatnot but how could you expect the same people to bring in anybody any good? They have no grasp of value for money. It's an alien concept to them.

There should have been far more pushback against the Vichai statue. What kind of self-respecting club defines themselves by a billionaire who turned up in 2010, never played for the club and never picked a starting 11? He was not a football person, he was a businessman.

 

It was weird then, even when we were relatively successful. And now it’s humiliating.
