Gaz talks about us for a little here, first sentence was about Rudkin needing to be out and him worming his way up the club

Haven't had chance to read this yet, but they usually put some brilliant well sourced pieces together. I imagine it will make a pretty tough case to argue against for those who still back the hierarchy.

[Rubbersoul]

People I know who support other clubs now finally realising what a mess we are.
 

They’ve even stopped the “yeah but you won stuff” argument. Been telling them for years but seems the penny has finally dropped.

This is a superb article. The best summary of our financial situation and governance issues that I've read.

This is a good read.

 

It shows how costs have been out of control and Psr has been breached.  Yet kevin davies has been promoted from FD to CEO.

 

I am writing to Top. He has to realise that he can not rebuild his relationship with fans  while kevin, rudkin and herilhy are in place.

So he's already on the way home at a time we should be having an intense internal management review and restructuring complete with hirings and the obvious firings.

 

We should have a new manager announced before pre-season starts. With a new roadmap for success planned for and modelled for best through worst case scenarios, so there can be no doubt where we are, and what we are on track to achieve.

 

This guy has a special talent for not learning any lessons from previous seasons failings. I would not be at all surprised to still be waiting for a managerial appointment a week or two before the season kicks off. With Rudkin still sleepwalking us into the abyss by running everything until then.

 

Omnishambles doesn't begin to cover it.

 

Spot on.

 

Nothing will change. Their whole attitude of "we'll be fine" isn't going to change upon the opposition becoming Leyton Orient and Stevenage. There's more to come. They will just arrogantly assume it's impossible for us to not finish above them (we've just finished below Oxford United) and plod on. Nothing to see. It'll be OK.

 

How the **** do people blindly back this lot. It's fascinating.

Very good article. Few errors including:

 

- Rudkin getting credit for implementing the scouting originally. That was Pearson and there is no way that anybody who oversaw this initially would be capable of serving up what's happened since.

- Winks contract is now expiring in 2027, no?

- Fatawu PL interest after 2023/24 - maybe but we hadn't bought him by that point, maybe that means 2024/25.

 

I'm being very picky though. The gist of it is completely correct.

That's a very good article. It shows a complete lack of governance from those at the club. Harry Winks salary is absolutely bonkers.  

 

While promotion back to the Championship and ultimately to the Premier League is obvious in terms of raising revenue, the big question for the next twelve months is, how does the club get out of this mess without getting deducted more points? An absolute mess.

[Enyoueffsea]

It’s interesting because, imo, the “model” isn’t necessarily the problem but the players targeted was.

 

Nobody would have given Winks £90k a week. He was always a bang average player. Daka and Soumare signings made sense at the time but when it was clear they weren’t up to it, they should have been flogged to the Bundesliga or Ligue 1 for £20m. After wasting money on Winks, what would you not do… Buy his exact replica from the same club for double the transfer fee.

 

You’ll never get every transfer right in this game but you need to know when to cut your losses rather than your nose to spite your face.

What a great post. Takes an outsider sometimes to state the obvious

We tried to cut our losses several times but when you pay crap players big wages - surprise surprise - it’s hard or impossible to move them on because no fecker wants them. So you’ve wasted money, become skint and then all of sudden Patson Daka is the only recognised first team striker in the squad… 🤨

Is it that no ****er wants them, or is it the selling club have unrealistic expectations on the terms of the sale? 

 

How many players have left Leicester at the end of their deal for nothing over recent years? How many of those players could have left for a value before then?

Some of it's good, but they should have run it past a few on here before writing that Rudkin helped set up the scouting network that brought in Mahrez, or that we should have sold Fatawu in 2023/24 (when we didn't own him) because EPL clubs were interested. That said, the general gist is about right. I'm being picky.

 

Edit: I've just seen that Dan has already said all this and more. Apologies!

Oh dear, I've just made several of your excellent points (after you!).

[Dmitry]

I wonder what the last straw will be for Top to either fire Rudkin and commit to rebuild, or to sell the club.

King Power is too big to just keel over and die; it'll take a while to run it into the ground. The football club, on the other hand, can be rather easily knocked out as we are observing now. 

Would it be fair to say that LCFC's abject failures are very bad publicity for him and the company?

Just read it. 

 

 So it just confirms what we all knew, but the 'KPFC Happy Clapping Superfans' don't or are actully unwilling to admit/acknowledge, that 'Cvnt Top' and the gang, are a bunch of selfish,  irresponsible, incompetent, fvcktards, that have a much business acumen as a pint of Filbert Foxes lumpy sh1t from drinking Chang Beer. 

Also more telling is the fact that this is evidence that it really is All Their Fault. (But we knew that already)

 

We are well and truly fvcked, even with all the players leaving for the various reasions and the wage bill reducing I can't see how we make the math work, Wages, Seagrave, and all the other day to day sh1t  to.my unschooled finanal eye looks to outway the incomings. How do we stay out of trouble let alone afloat?

Totally agree. Part of the job of the DoF is to whelm and deal..

 

A.seaskn into Daka's spell, an honest and open dialogue between manager and DoF could've identified he was sub par. 

 

So, you polish the turd. Make out he's unable to settle. Prefers the Germanic lifestyle. Better suited to the structured coaching there and less media pressure. Loan out to a club that you think might grab goals in. And sell..

 

In shirt, the club has zero business acumen. None. The whole strategy is 'something will turn up'

There's always some excuse trotted out about it relating to a PSR reason as to why we can't sell and then we just fail PSR anyway so we end up with the worst of both worlds, over and over again.

Feel sick go say anything in defence of these clowns but that genuinely will be a factor and it's why PSR is a load of bollocks. A club makes a bad investment and then they are saddled with that for several years. Yep, makes sense when you want clubs to have good financial stability...

 

In our case, we'll be to thick to see the potential cost saving Vs the loss on book value evening itself out and so just refuse to sell at an acceptable price.

I honestly have no idea how that's happened! One of those glitch in the matrix moments.

Excuse after excuse by them. 
 

However, he will be the only chairman in the Leicester City history (and its future) who has £80m hit its bank account on one evening - the most it has seen and will ever see and will still leave this club in administration. 
 

PSR, Covid, duty free etc. blah blah. Nothing else needs to be said. Incompetence of the highest order. Our “big shot” and he ****ed it and ****ed us.

It’s a combination, for every crap player on big wages (Daka, Soumare, Vesty etc) who either turned down moves or no one else was prepared to cover their wage, there is a Tielemans (even Ricardo?) who was a lucrative asset and should have been sold.

 

And then for those we did get a fee for - eg Conor Coady - it turns out we’re still paying a % of his wage… 😡 

You’re right we’ve let over £200m I think (based on what we paid) leave for nothing, and clearly some of that could have been sold for a fee. But we hadn’t half made life difficult for ourselves, or rather the person in charge of squad building did.
 

If only we had employed someone who could count and has a modicum of responsibility when it came to the finances.
