One thing the club have done really well since 2015, is that they’ve sanitised the matchday experience and I really think that’s why we have so few fans protesting. The profile of fan who would be protesting ultimately either got priced out, banned or left a while ago when the club took its current direction, and don’t have the motivation to engage. Look at the amount of local lads that now follow the likes of Coalville, Harborough, Quorn etc. These are the ones that would be leading big protests, but they’re not bothered and for good reason. Because the club planted the seeds so that if this sort of situation did happen, they’d be safe from the sort of people that would hold them to account. 

I do find it so scary and sad how little of us are protesting and supporting some action - we've got such a diluted fanbase of just not football going types I think they just go for something to do - no passion, no interest, no understanding

? Any updates? You're in the chat but it's gone deathly quiet, and now you're blaming others

I’ve left and that’s no disrespect to the lads in it. In fact I’d say they try harder than anyone else. And the backing we’ve had from the general supporter base has been really encouraging. 
 

it’s time for the foxes trust, our various pod casters, to an extent union fs but I feel sorry for them as they get the brunt of so much abuse and get little backing from people who should be supporting them when some of fans incorrectly blame them for anti king power movements. 
 

Ultimately I think one thing we’ve achieved as a group is setting a blue print for what people who carry a bit more political clout than us could achieve if they put their mind to it. 
 

I have been a massive critic of the foxes trust on here for the best part of 20 years but I do think there has some been some really very positive movements in the last six months. They just need to go a step further and be calling for change in the summer,. 
 

On a personal level I’ve decided there is only so much I can do living so far outside the county. 
 

non the less very happy what we achieved whilst I was in the group and hopefully they keep trying.

Union FS were first out of the blocks with this. They held up a 'King Power Out' banner, had people physically assault them and within the same week had an entire away end concourse singing against them. 

 

Furthermore, Union FS members were front and centre at both protests, the Foxes Trust publicly backed the protests and the Big Strong Leicester boys also attended both. 

 

It really doesn't matter if more could have been done. It's become very much evident that you, me, BSLBs and UFS are wildly out of step with most of the fanbase. In order for enforce any change, it needs large scale backing. Otherwise, it just looks like exactly what it is, a loud and vocal minority. 

I know mate. 
 

it’s just frustrating, I know people are trying it just feels like things could be done better.

 

We are fighting a organised business (well a business at least)  
 

Ultimately we all want the same thing and the major problems are coming from outside.

Had to get bullied into even admitting there were any of our fans there. They hate the lads, they always have done and always will.

I can imagine how much they disliked that away end in Warsaw. 
 

Randers was an example where people who wanted risk it went and booked it. No worries about Omicron. 
 

You could argue those two ends were the last bastion of a proper away end

has many left the group because it appears it has come to an end as an organisation or rather becoming dormant

[Le Renard]

As Harold Macmillan once said 'Events, my dear boy, events'.  I'm no Nostradamus but with Trump's folly in Iran, and the disruption/cost to aviation fuel, I should imagine King Power are well and truly screwed.  No tourism = no income!

I don’t believe anyone else has left, There hasn’t been a lot of activity recently but I think that’s probably for the best. 
 

With the change of manager and few more positive displays and results and with a month left of the season it is probably just best to support the team and try and maintain our championship status for the next three/four weeks. 
 

I know I’ve spoken out about having that attitude but, now,  I think we’ve made about as good as point we can this season and protesting against a clubs board is a war not a battle, it can take months/years  and nothing they do now is going to help the situation we are in the short term, and if we go down we are in all sorts of bother.

taken from Fan Advisory Board meeting 
 

AGENDA ITEMS

FOOTBALL INSIGHTS

Reporting structures and processes of the Club

•

It was noted that this topic falls outside the scope of the Fan Engagement Framework. However,

insight from the Football Department was shared to provide additional context.

•

Jon Rudkin provided detailed insight into football reporting structures and recruitment processes.

•

It was explained that the incoming Sporting Director will oversee football performance strategy,

reporting to Jon Rudkin as Chief Football Officer.

•

Members asked about plans to improve current performance and the steps being taken to move the

Club forward. The response acknowledged the immediate priority of improving results on the pitch

and efforts to provide the team with as much support as possible from all quarters to achieve this.

•

Members raised that there had been a more positive atmosphere during recent first halves but

visible frustration during latter stages was noted. There was a discussion about the influence of

supporter sentiment on players and performance and some Members said sustained positivity

from fans could have a measurable impact. It was felt that any messaging around backing the team

should be authentic and organic rather than campaign-driven by the Club.

Whats the point of this fan advisory board, if they can only report a vague summary?

What is this detailed insight?

 

Why didnt the fan advisory board ask about improving results in the board room?

Because I'm a sad bastard, I've just gone through every season in our history for the sake of pinpointing just how bad this year is, and barring us somehow winning 5/5 there are only two comparable years in terms of league finish - 90-91, when Tony James kept us up on a sheer technicality (there were 2 relegation places instead of 3 that year due to the league restructure) and of course 07-08, when we went down on the final day with 52 points. I'm discounting the League One season which is objectively our worst league finish ever, not least because next season could very easily eclipse it and then some.

 

That 90-91 season is our worst ever, with a points tally of 50 in the second tier - in the era of 3 points for a win - and a bottom 3 finish. We currently have 41 points with 5 games to spare, and the absolute maximum we can get is 56. We need to find 3 wins from somewhere to ensure this is not our worst EVER points return at this level, whether we survive or not.

 

Why am I posting this in the King Power Out thread? Should be obvious really - this is only the third time in our 142 year history that we've been in this position with five games left, and on both occasions we finished in the bottom three. It's not normal however much the 'we were in League One once' weirdos like to dismiss it as some sort of return to normality.

 

The only difference this time is that, if our record low points tally is broken, it's very possibly going to be due to the points deduction our ownership led us to through their mismanagement. That's never happened in our 142 year history in any position, but Top Rudkin and co. led us here.

 

Part of me is torn - on one hand, if we go down within that six-point margin, the finger SHOULD be pointed entirely at the ownership for bringing the deduction upon us. On the other hand, there are enough morons already crying foul about selective justice that it might galvanise them and have the opposite effect, serving to insulate them from further criticism (a kind of 'oh they took the punishment, how unfair, now we rebuild with Top' rewriting history kind of thing). I absolutely would not put it past the ownership to at least try that false narrative rather than falling on their sword and selling the club as they damn well should.

 

If we somehow fail to pull three or more points from our remaining games, it's a moot point anyway - deduction or not, it's our worst season ever. At this point though, I think if relegation has to happen it needs to be within that six point deduction. As godawful as this squad and management have been, it gives people someone else to blame - a kind of 'oh it's not Top, it's the players, it's the managers, they would have gone down even without the deduction' while wilfully glossing over who was responsible for bringing them all to the club in the first place. No thanks. There should be nowhere for Top, Rudkin, KP and their sycophants to hide for what they've done to our club.

 

*Sigh* ... bring on Swansea I guess.

Regardless of the final points tally, class if 26 beats the 91 and 08 sides by a mile because of relative wage bill and transfer fees. 

 

Easily the worst and most revolting Leicester side in history.

Yep.

 

When people say ‘we’ve seen worse before’. When and what are they actually referring to? 
 

This is loads worse than 2008. It’s worse than the build up to that. I wasn’t actually quite born in 1991 (just after) but like you say, the club hadn’t had the resources available that it has in recent years and hasn’t been at the level we have dropped from.

It just makes me laugh. 
 

Even ignoring the very valid point about money. 
 

in 1991 nobody was sat at filbert street thinking “this is normal, this is where the club fits naturally into the football league system” 😂 they were mostly absolutely livid with the the teams performance. 
 

2008, we’d been dire for seasons, were run for a lot of that time leading up to it by an administration that wanted to get out of the club because they wanted better for it, they’d literally just taken over to keep it afloat, and we were pretty unfortunate to go down tbh. This bunch of international highly players don’t need to get the 53 points it would have taken to keep us up, it’s a good job as they ain’t getting close to it. 
 

I would rather watch Stephen Hughes, Patrick Kinsorbo, Mark De Vries, Danny Tiatto and Elvis Hammond any day of the week than this lot. 
 

In fact I’ll double down, I’d rather watch Alan Sheehan than this lot. At least his inability to defend in the 2nd tier level was made up for by a wand of a left foot. 
 

Anyone who says “we’ve seen worse” has no business following professional football. 
 

It’s like my writing a review on a west end production of Phantom of the opera. Not a scooby doo.

Yep by far our worst season ever, given wage bill, squad cost and everything else. There is a reason why we've only been in the 3rd tier once and thats because clubs of our size should not be down there unless there are extenuating circumstances where a big club has been so poorly run like Leeds, Sunderland to name a couple. Whilst we may not be a club that should always be in the prem, we are not this "little Leicester" team that some of our fan base believe we are, and we never have been, even before the title and fa cup win. 

 

How any genuine Leicester fan can still back Top is beyond belief. Vichai was possibly our best ever owner, Top is quite possibly our worst ever!

But these people actually turn up and watch this. Surely if you were watching Phantom on the West End every week, you’d become clued up enough to write an accurate review so what is these people’s excuse 

 

As I say, on account of age, I only have memories from about 2002 onwards. Still a timeframe that captures our lowest points of administration and relegation to the 3rd tier. But as well as people with their heads switched on, who were around in 1991 and even further back backing up that they haven’t seen worse, there is zero evidence of this. 
 

Like you say, even though the 2008 team was bargain bin, and really limited, they had the second best defence and got 52 points. This team will likely have the second worst defensive record and not even be able to say they’d have got 52 points if not for the deduction!

 

Interestingly, I looked at goal conceded and QPR have also conceded 63 and only scored 4 more than us (which we have helped them out with) yet sit on 57 points.

Exactly, this would only happen in exception circumstances, namely the club being run terribly. Why the obedient followers can’t just admit this!

 

Trophies tell you so much. But patterns of league finishes also do. Our standard is lower top tier and top of the second tier. This is proven by 146 years of evidence and data.

You’re absolutely spot on! Can’t agree more. Don’t we have one of the highest banning lists in the UK? The matchday experience is nothing compared to 2016…. Like you’ve pointed out over the years it’s just been chipped away at until it’s gone. 
 

And the examples how poorly treated union FS are, a group who have done more for charity than anything remotely controversial, and get ostracised and strangled when they’re trying to create an atmosphere…. And some of the fans we have left just have a go at them. 

[Dmitry]

Instead of spending crazy money on players who didn't deserve it, King Top and his brilliant sidekick Rudkin should have tripled Maresca's salary, even quadrupled it, and begged him to manage us in the PL, with a fat bonus to keep us there at the end of the 2024/25 season. It would have been way cheaper than maintaining this circus, all the while making themselves look like the complete and utter buffoons that they are. Too late now, because what follows will be devastating.

Get out you useless F***

[tetly]

We need them gone asap. The club has been mismanaged on every level. Totally unacceptable king power out.

[Eskay]

It's basically a Thai shrine to a guy who died in a helicopter crash. 

 

This isn't a football club. It's a badly run business.

For a guy named Top, sure knows how to be bottom.

The club is essentially a Vichai memorial now. 
 

I actually saw someone say it’s unlikely he’ll sell because of the “ Vichai shrine” !!! 
 

I want him gone. I want his whole ****ing family and that **** Jon Rudkin gone. 

[dmayne7]

At this point, you're not a proper supporter if you don't want them out. Not agreed with wanting them to stay but at least tried to respect those with that viewpoint, but it's got to the stage where you're either thick or don't care about the club
