Will never happen. Accountability is not in King Power's repertoire.

Do you know what's funny - over the years there have been comments from fans as to why the club dont do a) or b). And the usual response is, that is not what clubs do. But actually we are being proved wrong by the actions of clubs who are not exactly great in their running. It perhaps emphasises how badly run we are. 

[Donwebbio]

These lot just don't care at all. No accountability, no communication, no sign of any work being done. The new man McCarron hasn't even formally been introduced to fans. That was an easy piece of business to get done to take the heat off Rudkin while he gets on with the graft of getting these big contracts off the balance sheet by offering players, discussing mutual terminations etc (lolz).

 

It feels like they have given up just as us fans have in trying to get them out.

It just goes to show that the November & January interviews with Aiyawatt and all the stuff regards getting closer and communicating with the fanbase was just a PR exercise to divert away from building fan pressure. Truth is we are back to where we usually are completely in the dark and treated with distain, the bare minimum should have been an unveiling and interview with McCarron. Instead as always it’s radio silence.

We are watching a business fail.
 

We’re interested and passionately loyal to the product of the business, but just like Triumph / MG / Spangles / Bass Brewery despite having a sought after product with loyal following the inept leadership of the business lacks the ability or desire to adapt to the challenges they faced. 
 

In a few years we may still see the brand as a phoenix club, but in its current state, with existing Board, we are simply watching it die

No it is the same awful way of doing things year on year without ever learning from the countless mistakes they have made. Maybe McCarron has been told there will be no media engagement involving him as it will look bad on Rudkin for never having done it. Consistently opaque.

Interesting that the new rugby rules are attracting investors. It's fairly unique to have two 20k plus stadiums within half a mile that can't be used on the same occasion. The Bournemouth owners have just ploughed a load of money into Exeter. Tigers need investment too - there'd be a way to make lots of money out of it for investors. Can't see it being popular but with leicester being a one team city you could see some potential in it.

They never intended to open up better communication. A heavily scripted internal interview and one with media who will have been made very clear what questions to ask and then absolutely nothing else. The utter buffoon Aiyawatt managed to **** the latter up himself. No wonder Anthony doesn’t want him anywhere near the media. 
The longer it goes on with literally nothing other then admin wishing the women well and trying to sell tickets for the charity game, the worse the news when it does come is likely to be. They are just simply avoiding being honest with the supporters at this point.

Didn’t KP show some interest in the Tigers a few years back?

If they had anything good to say they’d be saying it. We’re fvcked.

I've always said that the only way we get rid of K*nt Top,KP and hopefully Rudkin is when dictated by the finances.  Not Protests, Boycotts or plane banners, (they don't care a 'single jot' about the fans and chats for them to fvck off falls on deaf ears ) but  actually when the club hits a point and is forced into administration.

 

The incompetent bell3nds lack the ability to learn and adapt, or they are just to arrogant to think there are real problems and that they are causing them. They just jump from one catastrophe to the next catastrophe.

 

From the PR scripted Interview he's given to the horrendous mess we are in now under his leadership, it's pretty obvious that K*nt Top is as thick as pig sh1t, but what I don't get is, surely he can see that if he puts the club up for sale now he will get "X" amount,  but if he chooses to continue down the current path administration awaits, and after the asset stipping and all the other stuff to pay off people (sorry for the over simplification, as I no knowledge or real interest in the subject of administration) he will end up far worse off...or am I missing something here?

The concerning part of all this is the lack of basic understanding that these continued poor commercial decisions is driving a massive disconnect with your fanbase, which becomes such a huge problem and financial hit to the club the further you drop. 
 

Awful decisions regards sticking with Adidas for the ‘prestige’ when they churn out dog shit template kits, our continued pursuit of morally bankrupt partnerships with random and obscure betting/crypto companies, our ticketing policies, the way the genuine fans have been treated on important days like the championship trophy day when the pitch was taken over by day trippers, guests and influencers, the political messaging at the pre season friendly and the ongoing transition of the stadium branding from LCFC to KPFC. 
 

All the above have contributed to the disconnect of so many of the legacy fanbase, the disconnect is massively affecting the commercial revenues of the club, matchdays with empty seats, hospitality not full, boycotting of the club shop and merchandise all contribute to drops in revenue and most importantly cash flow. 
 

The club need a very sharp wake up call because this forthcoming season, sponsorship, hospitality packages and partnerships will be a lot harder to sell when the quality of opposition has dropped off the edge of a cliff, day trippers and tourist fans will be visiting other more fashionable clubs, so it’s back to the loyal fanbase you have pushed away, because empty seats don’t buy food and drinks, disconnected fans don’t buy replica shirts and merchandise. The next generation of fans and future lifeblood of the club go elsewhere. 
 

The club needs to get its act together like yesterday otherwise the future will be very very bleak and a whole generation of Leicester fans could be lost.

I am as radical as @Spanner73 but that is the best opinion I’ve read on here in a long time.

They're genuinely all on holiday and it's business as usual, isn't it? They'll all turn up sometime in July then wonder why all the good manager & player deals have been done and marvel over how every one else has got the jump on them again? Like it doesn't occur to them that they could possibly be proactive now because holiday.

 

It's like we are literally run by the least productive, most ossified institutionalised guy at work who has the same exact start, finish and break times like clockwork regardless of events and spends most of their time running down the clock and thinking about the *insert boring hobby* collection waiting for them at home.

Who knows what goes on inside his head, he’s not logical in any way. I’ve given up trying to be honest. But let him carry on, as most of us have said previously we certainly don’t want him to be a success in any way because it will only prolong the agony. 
 

Eventually we’ll get our club back

I think this generation are already lost. The border of Coventry fans used to be Nuneaton/"wrong side of the A5", but now Hinckley has basically fallen to Coventry as well in my recent experience.

For reference this didn't even happen last time we were in League One by the way. Even without what now is a prestigious history. Everyone knows we are an omnishambles going nowhere, but down it seems.

You just mentioned most county council staff of last 50 years.

The fans are always there. The club colours only come out when winning. We are in hide mode at min. Its like in the north part of county. Forest fans have appeared in full bloom. They will go back to sleep after a Vitor Pereira pre season. By all accounts Wolves were in terrible shape fitness wise in August. 

The Cov colours will be too after they get pummelled most weeks.

Same can be said for Chansiri. The reason they gave was in Thai culture to "quit" is so shameful that Administration, and having the club forcibly taken from you is genuinely a better option. 

 

Some saving face that is.

Hopefully. This does feel different though. There has never been a time in the last 50 years that Cov fans felt so emboldened as to wear their shirts proudly in Hinckley regardless of the difference in league positions and now half the new pub owners/managers seem to be wearing Cov shirts. Think there's something in that...

There was a whole thread on LTLF forum with over 100 pages about how many Leicester shirts you see in Nottingham around 2021. 

 

It always comes round. I'd be less bothered about Forest and Coventry having their era of "success" if ours wasn't such a fall off. 

 

I love the idea of an area like Hinckley "falling" to Coventry like they're ****ing Vikings or something. I think one look at Hinckley will tell you it "fallen" a long time ago.

I don't think it's Adidas' fault their kits for us have been so bad. Reeks of someone at the club picking different bits / designs / motifs out of a catalogue.

Things will be back to normal once Cov get ripped a new one most weeks ,then they'll  be able to have a new slogan "Championship  We're  Back "
