My bad, it's 5 not 6. Don't want to drag King's name through the mud as bad as those games were.

I thought that last season, but you would have thought with so many gone now that this wouldnt be the case. 

 

Unless we presume they play Skipp just because of the high transfer fee?

I think we play Skipp to ‘maximise’ the investment, same for Thomas, I can believe any self respecting football manager actually chooses them. Same with the defence, but less options there.

Something has to give soon. The club as an entity can't take much more of them. Either they need to come out and confirm the sale process or the whole thing is going to fall apart in the next few weeks.

Aiyatwatt and Rudkin will be burying their heads in the sand as per usual, nothing will change.

I think the whole club will go beyond administration…. And disappear without trace

 

The owners will have this on their minds forever…. But not for long as they don’t give a toss… They evidently don’t care and it’s probably for the best..

By God go, and take all the weirdo sycophants with you. 

[Nods]

Genuinely beginning to wonder if I'd take the Premier League win again if this had to be the trade off. 

 

It was an unbelievable year but it feels like I've lost my football club. I liked having a football club.

It feels like we are being punished constantly for having a successful period. It shouldn’t be like this.

Its really strange, when I talk to fans of other clubs who arent one of the big prem teams, they pretty unanimously say they'd take winning the premier league and have their club follow the same trajectory 100% of the time.

 

Its quite a complex debate I guess, if we can come out the other side of this, king power moved on, Rudkin exiled from earth and just get back to being a well run Championship club for a bit, it would make it all worth it, but I do feel without King Power selling quickly there is a distinct possibility the club ceases to exist, theyve run it that badly. And that's tough, a premier league for your club not to exist 10 or so years later...

Any manager that is willing to give some other type of system a go.. why we persist with this slow play out from the back, 50 passes between defenders, its ridiculous its been years its been detrimental.....but no lets give it another go...with players that could not do it before ....but now they cant do it, and desperately want out of this sh!t show

It feels like we've had absolute tap-ins two summers in a row and made completely the wrong choices too. Rohl last summer, Challinor this.

Yeah, that question often gets posed and if winning the league was the pinnacle then surely what we are seeing now is the opposite of that, considering this is the lowest we've ever been. Its a very valid question now considering our trajectory indicates we may never get back to the premier league.

[Ian Nacho]

I'm just waiting for admin unfortunately. 

[Thefox81]

Still wouldnt change for anything. First game away at Birmingham in 88 or 89. Always told by dad that we would never see us win a division 1 title or even an fa cup as we had lost the 4 previous. The 2014/15 great escape and then going on to achieve the impossible were the best 18 months of my life. Shame my dad missed it.

I mean I wouldn't even trade the great escape. Still get goosebumps watching the Vardy goal at the Hawthorns. Wouldn't trade the FA Cup win. It's history. And certainly wouldn't trade the title win which now feels like the last glorious hurrah of a sport that even in the last ten years has been totally and irreversibly stripped of any authenticity, unpredictability and romance. 

[Phil Mitchell]

Winds me up that these anti-establishment threads only pop up post-games. This one and the Rudkin one should be the first threads I see any given day of the week. Criminal. Phil

[Corky]

Does Lineker still believe relegation has improved the miracle?

[EnderbyFox]

Listening to the Hull owner being interviewed on TNT pre-match earlier with nothing but envy.

 

Talked about how he had to scrap to get to where he is “everyone doubted me when I started at the station as a junior reporter, 10 years later I bought the station” 

 

Mentioned how he was obsessed with the running on the club and how he’d fight with agents on transfers. Came out swinging when pundits were slagging Hull off earlier in the week.

 

What do we get? A nepo baby who’s never had to work for anything, a loser who gets our chatGPT obsessed communication nobhead to write all his pre-match garbage. 
 

A man who’s happy to sit back and let inept employees sink the club, and rewards them with promotions for doing so

Any decent manager would tell Top its a no go on style of play and either wouldnt get the job or be fired for a difference of opinion on football matters.

Top needs to go, end of really.

[FoxCal]

The question of ‘Would you take the Premier League win in exchange for being in League 1 a decade later?’ I can deal with and the answer is probably still yes. It’s just not the question we face.

 

The question for now is ‘Would you take the Premier League win in exchange for your club staring down the barrel of extinction a decade later?’, which I frankly wouldn’t entertain.

 

Mind you, these absolute ****s (you choose) have driven me to such apathy I question if I actually care anymore anyway.

I equally remember that goal as if it were yesterday and maintain that that was the moment that truly kickstarted our great escape (even though technically the run had started by us winning the previous game v W Ham).

Throw in Corberan the summer before.

 

I still think if he joined over the rancid Cooper, we’d have turned out so differently.

As I've been saying for at least two years now - our fans need to put every single effort into at least making their lives as miserable as they make ours.

 

The club is literally dying in front of our eyes and that is their doing. Make them feel the wrath of that. Our fans are far, far too soft. We've shown we can be bullied.
