King Power Out

[Eskay]

I've been to Everton today for a work conference. It really drove home the shit show we are.

 

This club was dodging spending rules and on the pitch struggles. 

 

They got a new CEO and brand new leadership team when new owners came in and they're now growing. In his words 'we are revenue obsessed and because of that we can invest on the pitch'.

 

Central to this is the new stadium. It's incredible and I couldn't help but think about what could have been when I saw the blue seats. Quite fitting when you think about how faded our seats are! They spent £800m on the stadium. It's not a year old and they will spend £8m on growing more premium spaces. Not boxes....but bars and nice settings for normal fans who just want a nice place to have a beer and a better experience. I can't remember the kast time the KP even got a lick of paint!

 

The CEO was incredibly impressive and talked about how he engages with fan groups. 

 

One great point is that he thinks it's better to have fans who have been to at least 1 away game a season rather than 3k that go to every away game. So for the best interests of long term fan growth he's changing their away priority scheme. (Get younger people obsessed with being a fan and we will grow). 

 

Got an obligatory picture of KDHs shirt in the dressing room. Good on him for getting out of this shit shower. 

 

Final interesting point is how obsessed they are with data. It underpins their decisions. I have it on good authority that LCFC engaged with a business that is famous for data work and they couldn't grasp the basics and so binned off the idea.

Why is Rudkin going to step down of his own accord. Totally the wrong thing to do from a personal perspective.
 

He’s been here for decades in one capacity or another, has the backing of the owner,  is getting on and is probably lining retirement up once he does finally go as let’s face it no one else is going to touch him with a barge pole now. Every week he stays here is another trip to Malaga once he packs in to him. 
 

Efficient ownership is the only way we get rid of him, and let’s be real, he’s still getting a promotion every six months never mind considering his own position or getting sacked. 

I’m suprised Ruskin hasn’t suggested to Top to move him sideways to focus on King Power racing more.

 

Now, maybe Rudkin isn’t into the horses as much as the footie - but there’s an obvious out for him sitting right there which seems strange that he hasn’t taken it.

 

Maybe the mooted ‘promotion’ in the restructure is actually more of a sideways push?

The amount of comments online commending the little dweeb for coming across to speak to the fans. He literally stood there nodding his head for a minute flanked by security. I get more sense out my toddler. He's so out of his depth, its untrue.

Just been reading the Facebook comments on the Millwall boycott, majority of comments are against it and are in support of King Power. There's actually morons still repeating the "be careful what you wish for" mantra after these clowns have put the club on the brink of financial ruin.

I had a networking thing in the Fulham Pier space they've created at Craven Cottage and was so so impressed. Bars, restaurants, work, creative spaces that are busy all year round and double up as corporate hospitality on matchdays.

 

Couldn't help but think Leicester could have done something similar on the waterfront side of the ground if they had the vision!

 

The stadium expansion should have been a priority before the training ground in my opinion. The wider developments bring income into a club. You can't say we've seen any fruits of labour from Seagrave yet

**** knows. 
 

You have to give his dues despite his complete inability to get anything right he’s done ok for himself. Probably will continue to do so as well due to his relationship with a highly stupid Thai billionaire, you play the hand you are dealt I guess. 

[FoxFossil]

Did wonder if the club isn't actually costing Top anything at the moment, as he's no longer investing. So why sell? Just keep it for nothing.

[BigGibbo]

The writing is on the wall now. His meek "I'll try" response when asked about investment suggests it is no longer up to him and King Power no longer have the money to burn.

[Nolucklcfc]

He’ll have to sell at some point but he’s going to kill us before he does.

He is going go to have to invest soon, if he can. He has run out of things to take loans out against.

Spray paint over every King Power logo on every step. They will spend money to remove then spray it again.

I don't want their investment, I want them to sell. History tells they will waste every penny they put in

You have to remember though Facebook is at best 200-300 comments per post, within that you have the same names again and again. I see it with everything the Trust puts out. 
 

Facebook is just like here, one end of the extreme. There is a whole quiet majority who have major concerns of it all. 

[CosbehFox]

It’s going to be a long battle but the die is cast. The history of football tells us this. They won’t turn it around because no one ever has from this position and they have zero actual business acumen. Their business was built on privilege rather than graft. They use agents, they over celebrate, they are absent in leadership, they simply don’t understand English football culture, they are never challenged in everyday life. 
 

Save your energy for now. Keep protesting, keep chanting, keep boycotting. Those images of King Power out have been across the world this week. The family and the Thai government will give Aiyawatt a tap on the shoulder soon

Lets hope so,because the interview with Kieran Maguire on talk sport doesn't make happy listening!Also hasn't Top been sidelined from running King Power? If so that's all we need to know.

Buckle up folks, we are in for a bumpy ride.

And are choosing not to attend, either through not using a season ticket or purchasing match tickets. There are swathes of empty seats all over the ground. The away section hasn't been full since Oxford and we haven't sold a single ticket in the unused away fans area.

 

The "plastic" fans they complain about in the singing section are always there. It is the fans who aren't who are making the powerful statement.

Don't doubt all that but they still had loads of empty seats at home games that were revealed to be reserved as part of packages for abroad fans. 

 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Successive relegations and into league one for only the 2nd time in history, 3 relegations in 4 seasons, 4 woeful managerial appointments on the bounce, £270m losses posted in the last 4 seasons accounts, our 1st points deduction in our history. 
 

We have financial meltdown to look forward to, no doubt the jewels in the crown of our academy will leave for a pittance and a fire sale of the shite on high wages and still some say be careful what you wish for…….how bad does it have to get for some to wake up and realise enough is enough this is unacceptable and wholesale change is needed immediately. 
 

We are in real danger of administration over these next couple of years, how much longer will you allow this free pass to literally destroy our club in front of your eyes whilst clapping and cheering them on.

Doesn't look like Top is hanging around. His jet is departing at 23:40 tonight.

The good news is, we’ve hired their finance director and he’s currently the most qualified and senior individual we have.

 

The bad news is he’s interim and he’ll be gone in a few months.
