Horrible arrogant, smug man. 

Go on, what did he say?

[The Year Of The Fox]

All these posts saying ‘I can’t believe they’re still here’ or, ‘something needs to be done’

 

Yet not one post saying what they’re going to do.

Do you mean what would I do if I were them? If you did my first steps would be to look at the football operation and assess who is damaging my business. They would be removed and replaced immediately.Second I would dismiss Ruud and replace him. I want a manager who is going to rebuild. That may take 2/3 years. I would move out the high earners who are costing a fortune but giving little back and any bad apples, where possible. Not an easy task as who is going to want them. I certainly would not be extending their contracts. I would bring in largely younger players but a few leaders/experienced heads. I would want in those players speed, strength and potential so we can get back to being more sustainable. I think wages were 103 per cent of turnover. That cannot continue. If you did not mean that please accept my apologies.

I do feel for him in that regard. Obviously don’t know him personally but he probably feels like he has to carry on for his dad which I completely get. 
 

Sadly from a fan perspective he isn’t up to the job. I frankly don’t think he has a clue. 

There will be 2 King power legacies... the one the father left ... one the son leaves the 2 should not be connected or confused ... Tops legacy will be of his own making

Could Stringer be on the King power payroll ? .... asking for a friend

Completely agree with you on all fronts here, though this wasn’t what I was getting at.

 

Everyone is moaning about KP and their shock of nothing happening, but very little is being done from the fan base in order to create change. 
 

I’m fully aware of everything that’s gone on up to now, but I still class that as ‘very little’

Thought exactly that, like the crowds that greeted the players when we last went to Bangkok, all King Power employees given the afternoon off to wear an old shirt and wave some tat around.

The only reasonable justification for failing to change the leadership structure is that lessons have been (really) learned and discernible changes are being implemented which will deliver improved outcomes.

 

And yet…..

• There has been no acknowledgment of the relegation (2nd in 3 years) 6 weeks on from our fate being known.
• We have another manager indicating he is not being communicated with (except there will have been some as Rudders works from the same base, but clearly RVN frustrated by level of engagement so far).
• No accountability for the failures on and off the pitch.
• No communication of a new strategy with respect to reducing wage costs / resetting recruitment strategy to focus on youth/players with resale value to improve our financial position
• There are 5 weeks to preseason and it seems like the club feels they have all the time in the world with admin sharing banal posts like which players are involved in international fixtures.

 

You see likes of Paul Mitchell (outgoing DofF, Newcastle) being available now and you despair, knowing there is no prospect we would ever look at someone like him to replace Rudders.

 

The fact we appear close to selecting a new manager indicates Rudders ain’t going anywhere.
 

get a grip Top.

 

 

Agree 100% 

 

I’ve got to say that I’ve never felt this disconnected from the club. I liken today and the past few years to a club that’s dead. The building is there but there’s no life behind it, I feel like grabbing Top and shaking him to get something out of him for a reaction, any reaction, anger , sadness, frustration etc does he have a view ? Does he speak at all ? does he have a pulse ? Excuse me if I’m sounding dramatic but does anyone else feel like this. I’m starting to lose real interest in the club. 

[Happy Fox]

The club needs to be sold , restructuring of the boardroom is long gone, untill the club is sold nothing will change in the positive direction.

Until now I've been in denial.

 

Unfortunately we still have a divided fan base.

The KPFC brigade who spit feathers in an apoplectic rage if one bad thing is said against the owners, who cling onto the good times and drag it up as a universal excuse, and who still clap an 8 nil lacklustre performance as if nothing is wrong. 

Until everyone is singing from the same songsheet it's hard, if not impossible to do anything. 

 

OK so let's say we have a fanbase that's finally in sync, what can we actually do?

 

A plane banner. Check

Chanting. Check

Banners from the stands. Check

 

'Mass' demonstration outside the stadium?

Boycotting matches?

The above realistically won't happen. 

 

The problems are. we have Pi$$ weak nepo baby of an owner and a board that frankly doesn't listen, won't communicate or interact fully with the fans, except to dish out free beer and donuts. 

 

But the crux of the problem is "The club/owner/board DON'T GIVE A FLYING FVCK ABOUT US AS FANS"  They couldn't care less about how we feel. To them we are just a number, a source of revenue. All  they do is greet us with silence.

 

I know this just sounds defeatist but unless we can actually get some reaction from them nothing can change.

But as I said before "The don't give a flying......"

I agree, but it’s almost as if the fans don’t care enough either.

 

I think the only decent idea of a protest would be a ‘sit in’ at FT.

 

Given the fact that I voted with my feet years ago now, and refuse to go/unable to as I even packed in my membership, it’s pretty tricky to orchestrate a sit in 😂

[Spanner73]

I agree. I’ve held back on calling for total change until now because of his lack of experience and the position he was left in but if you really felt for the club you’d be doing much better than this. Khun Tops lack of care for the club is worse than anything else, his attendance around the club is vital for everyone to see especially the players as it shows commitment to the cause. His idea of commitment is to throw money at problems instead of dealing with them head on. 

 

I feel Rudkin is there so he doesn’t have to be. 
 

Honestly we’ve had 8,000 fans down there in the 80’s and sold everything we could to balance the books but you could say the club was run well despite the board we had back then. But today is the worst I’ve seen off the pitch. 
it’s only going to get worse.

I just find it hilarious that some on here seemed to just think all they had to do was go "boo, you're rubbish" and this international billionaire would go "oh christ you're right" and sell his favourite asset.

I hear what you're are saying mate, but that still goes back to my original point, the match going crowd is too fractured and segmented to do anything "at the match" so it's hard.

 

We have a load of people who just 'go as a day out' and aren't as invested in the club as us. They probably have never even set eyes on these Foxestalk pages in their lives, or know of the forums existence.

 

But I still don't think even a 'Sit In' if organised would do any good,  even if the protest was  done on a televised match like the plane was. (The club would just grovel to Sky and as them not to show it )

 

The fvcktards in charge would continue as is, ignore the situation, and continue with their deafening silence. 

[LFEFox23]

Where's @ProjectReset hiding?.... Surely one protest and a plane fly over wasn't the plan?

I agree,  

 

They don't care what we think, the club's actions over the last few years have proven that. 

As long as people still go to matches, buy a shirt, a pie and a pint and keep.putting money in the club's coffers  Top and the Board will.say "thank you very much" and continue to ignore us and slowly strangle the life out of the club with their incompetent miss-management. 

 

 Maybe there will be some 'financial event horizon' in the future that causes Top to get a squeaky bum, and consider selling, but who knows. 

 

The only way he sells now is if he gets an offer that's to good to turn down. But due to the inapt running of the club and the off field fvck up's ,no one in their right mind would seak us out to activly buy us, and certainly not at an amount that Top would make a profit on his original investment.

I tuned into the Final Whistle podcast and listened to Stringer's comments. There is no doubt that every fan has a lot of respect and give credit for KP being at the helm when we were winning trophies and had our European nights but Stringer criticises the fans for how they are now voicing their discontent. If it's not chants and banners, how else do we do it? A handwritten letter to Top? I think much of the frustration comes from the silence. The fans get absolutely nothing. What statements have there been? A very occasional sentence or two in the match day programme written by the Intern and a few woolly paragraphs on the OS trying to wildly justify **** ups like shirt sponsors and PSR.

Suspect you'll get tickets without a membership no bother next season, whether you'll want to pay the match by match prices is another story!

What can we do? I have not renewed my season ticket. I did not want to but could not stand it anymore. I think we will be in for more of the same but I hope I am wrong.

Heard a podcast with an American who quite recently joined West Brom. Came across very well and clearly has a good head on his shoulders. Not saying they'll become a top club or anything but I'd have more hope listening to him than what anyone at LCFC gives me. Our descent isn't over yet, these clubs are less powerful than us currently but it doesn't last forever. Brentford and Wolves potentially taking our best players is another eye opener. All they know is decline.

Stringer quite clearly has a massive conflict of interest. Only explanation.
