King Power Out

[1884HF]

boycotts should start with the Season tickets, we might as well use Millwall as an opportunity to make feelings known on mass outside the reception and hold them to account

Is there not a way Top could just buy Seagrave and the running costs won't come under the club? 

He ain't got the cash, they're liquidating assets like boats and planes aren't they.

If that is true, it’s good news for us. One step closer to him ****ing off

Could someone please create an image of Top on a baby's body playing with an LCFC toy..

The best and easiest protest is complete boycott - if 90% don’t go and that Milwall game is 90% empty it will speak volumes 

I think you are correct, the bad optics for the club on a main scheduled Sky Match broadcast would, as you say, speak volumes, but even with yesterday's result, there is unfortunately no way 90% stay away. 

 

The  fanbase is too divided and the number of match going KPFC Happy Clapper"s still willing to clap and show appreciation ( which is the reason we as humans do it) of incompetent, horrendous performances on the pitch in the name of "being a real fan," or "backing the lads through thick and thin" is still to many.  

 

 We can get boycott figures down to the 13000 / 14000 mark  (sorry  27000+ according to the club) and a more affective way would be, no faces in the stands but those faces instead actually stay outside  letting the already in attendance Sky Sports  cameras  know our feeling with regards to Top, Rudkin KP etc.  No violence, as any willing to boycott their seat but be in attenced outside should have the same goal in mind.

 

It would be to big of a drama for Sky Sports not to give ''exclusive and live" coverage too.  Stay outside main reception (or near where the sky vehicles park up as there's got to be a camera or two around there 😀)  until after the match has started  getting our messages across then be seen to go home and not take up the "boycotted seats"  The impact of a mass exodus seen to be going home after getting there point across would be powerful.

 

The negative embarrassmet  caused would be wonderful.  Its something in Thai culture that Top and KP seek to avoid.

The statues fine, it’s near where the man died at the end of the day. 
 

People do need to disassociate Vichai with Top. Completely different human beings. 

Nope. He wasn’t the only person who died that night so it’s a moot argument for the statue.

 

it’s not a small shrine in the memorial garden. It’s a giant statue at the main entry point of the ground. It’s the thing everyone sees when they visit it, a position where most clubs put their biggest legend.

 

There are no ethical billionaires so I’m not interested in the posts suggesting it was his club or that he was some sort of hero for the club just because he wasn’t Aiyawatt. Being a more competent owner does not give you a right to be idolised and take credit for the club’s on field successes, which were a triumph of good scouting and tactics at the end of the day.

 

It’s not just about Top himself, it’s the principle of the club having some pride in itself as a local sports team, not pride in businessmen that run a business.

Sounds good but there is one big flaw in your plan, in the Prem Sky have loads of cameras at a match, this is reduced drastically for championship level, I can’t remember the exact figures but Stringer mentioned this years ago.

 

They won’t have any free cameras near the vans behind the kop, the cameras will all be in the ground either situated in the usual spots or the free standing things they walk with pitch side, they won’t drag one outside to film a few with a banner chanting king power out.

 

Empty seats in the stands is the  visual

way but as the cameras face the west stand that won’t be as much an impact.

 

I still say disruption of the match is the biggest way to protest but our spineless fan base would sooner just walk from a pub to the ground after all the board are inside and away from it all.

 

Hey Ho, carry on outside as you wish.

A waste of a perfectly good golf course

[Claudio Fannieri]

The squad has more than enough talent to be competitive at this level, however there is a clear lack of any standards and the culture of the club is on its arse. 

 

The directive to play this mundane pedestrian football is really hampering the club, it worked under Enzo as he was an excellent coach and overall found a balance and style that whilst not perfect was enough to get us over the line, then in came Cooper and working under a similar directive was found massively lacking and as a result we looked undercooked, under prepared and a bit of a mess. 

 

Ruud came in and I think his biggest problem was he came in and immediately identified the issues but clearly didn’t get the support from above to sort out the trouble makers and piss poor culture so after a couple of promising games it seemed to unravel very quickly and it felt like Ruud was undermined and completely ineffective.

 

Sadly from there the collapse and demise has been so severe, I don’t believe many of the squad respect or believe in the ‘project’ and have become so disillusioned hence the woeful displays and lack of any heart and desire. Our problems aren’t the quality of players, it’s application, hunger and culture. 
 

All characteristics that should be driven from the owners and directors which give the manager or head coach the structure to create a culture of professionalism and the highest standards and expectations.

Currently the owner and his directors are obsessed with us playing like Man City…….imagine how that transposes down to the players who will know that is not possible, I am not defending the squad but how demoralising and toxic must it be to be told how to play when you know it’s not sustainable, you are being coached by mediocrity such as Cooper, Cifuentes and Rowett and it’s continuing to manifest in poor performances and results and will likely see us relegated to league one.

 

As a player or coach you can  have little respect for anyone who is influencing or instructing you to play a certain way or in a certain formation when it’s clearly deluded, and not working, it gives the impression of someone who is detached from reality and that will drive a massive drop off in standards and culture. It’s easy to see why it has become so toxic.

I keep banging on and on and it's proved to have next to no interest from posters on here....but for anything above 20 people to get west stand seats as close to the director box as possible and let the empty chair see some real hostility for the first time ever. 

 

It needn't be aggressive or abusive. Just standing there eyeballing the club management.....it would be extremely effective and the create the maximum amount of discomfort. More so  than a rabble outside kettled by stewards.

Well, it needs some restraint and discipline then. And with, say, only 20 there, it's easier to manage. 

 

I'm down. 19 others - and that'll do.

The numbers tell us that KP have injected vast sums. To deny that fact isn’t reality nor is the suggestion that FFP/PSR has restricted the development of the club because the simple matter of fact  is just like any kid in a candy store spending is  excessive and random mainly wasteful and the consequences of that mad spending are what the club and supporters are now having to endure.

 

I am far from sure that KP have  the resources nor more to the point the will to inject much more because just like any gambler will tell you chasing your losses will only lead to further losses.

 

I know an ex chairman of a non league club and he in the day was happy to inject a four figured sum each week but ultimately he received so much abuse not only did he turn off the money tap he lost all interest . He passed  most of his shares to the supporters club and from a position where he lived the club now doesn’t even go to the clubs AGM.

 

Those that went before him told him it would end in tears but he in business had never tasted a decline so when things started to go t**s up he firstly didn’t recognise those early signs but more to the point he didn’t have a plan nor the support network to offer the required advice needed to agrees the decline.

 

I don’t want to defend Top but it’s abundantly clear that he is out of his depth and despite stating the opposite in public I would imagine if he could get out he would . 
 

LC is a distressed club ,  a distressed business that shows no signs of recovery or plan to recover . I believe that the club were incredibly badly advised when it came to the commencement of challenges to the jurisdiction of the league. In my working life I was always told that before launching into a legal challenge you need  to work through the implications not just of losing but what a win could lead to and that’s why I always believed that all that was happening was the day of reckoning was always going to have to be faced. 

 

Finally someone mentioned the delay of the December pay day and whilst it was of course a red flag I hadn’t thought about the timing but the latest charge registered early in the new year probably provided the cash to deal with cash flow in January particular as that charge mentions  PL distribution in February

Look at Newcastle,  massive support, rich owners..... but being held back as can't spend.

Looking to sell big players.

That team is challenging,  similar to us after the Premier win......but now the brakes have been applied because of ffp 

 

*I don't know the exact issues at Newcastle just using as an example of a club trying to do it right but can't spend.

** I think I know where I'm coming from....😜🤭

 

Partly true. We’re not looking to sell as we don’t need to but there are some players that are likely to want to move on and we’re realistic that we can’t pay them what they want to stay.

 

You’re right though. FFP is massively holding us back, not even from enormous spend by the Saudi’s as they have shown no indication they would do that, but just from progressing and keeping up year on year.

 

Same with Villa too.

 

FFP has never been about stopping clubs going bust, there are multiple examples of clubs going bust despite FFP. FFP is only there to preserve the interests of the status quo.

Remember all those on here who were adamant it was the only way to play and sneered at anybody who suggested it wasn’t what we are good at, and that we would be better off pursuing a style that was more direct, quicker tempo and based around pressing, energy and utilising the opportunities to break with pace?

Seagrave is the ultimate white elephant. Built out of delusion. Best training facility in the country being sustained by gates of 32k - madness. The ground extension should have been job no.1 for KP to increase our revenue capacity. 

 

Was the idea of Seagrave not to attract top players? Leicester needed something to set themselves apart from the bigger clubs in the PL as they’re not able to offer the same prestige or financial packages so I assumed the thought process was to offer them the best facilities?

 

You’re right though. The only way in modern football to tackle the Sky 6 is to have a world class high capacity stadium with lots of expensive corporate hospitality.*
 

*Although Tottenham are currently doing a wonderful job of disproving this.

A statue recognising his achievements and reflecting the manner of his death were the right thing do. It should however have been located in the memorial garden.
 

No surprise his idiot son would choose a scale and location that was not at all appropriate.

It’s always been KPFC since they took over. Huge levels of propaganda. There’s never been any acknowledgement of the clubs achievements in the 126 year it existed before their involvement.
