When does this willy pullers tournament end ? So he can pretend to be a decision maker. 
 

Whelan now annoying me the most. So many incredibly talented female ceos out there and we are left with BJ giver extraordinaire who shouldn’t be anywhere near an exec position. No ceo worth anything would stand around and watch this on their watch. Quite clearly not “achieved” her role. 
 

 

In all fairness, it was "achieved" when Rudkin and Whelan led the club to a 5000-1 Premier League. Since then, people have left and we haven't replaced with the same quality. Vichai likely had a more hands on approach too. It's clear to see that competent football people need to be added to the board to support Whelan and Rukdin. Both are just a scapegoat for Top's incompetence IMO.

Half our fans weren’t aware last season, so I don’t blame a load of people who’ve probably never visited the place before. 

Oh I don't blame the influencers. It's just a very easy sell for Aiyawatt. One of those things that you can make look a lot better than it is. They're probably just assuming we'll walk it again this season. I mean we might but I very much doubt it.

 

The entire club is so lax. It's a very, very easy ride.

Sorry ? What was achieved ? Rudkin and Whelan sat there in 2014 and masterminded the greatest sporting miracle in sporting history ? I think even their ardent supporter would call that bullshit. 
 

If competent people are needed to be added to the board (and I completely agree), the CEO is at the forefront of those appointments AND if the CEO is unable to influence that, any self respecting CEO would walk - it’s their reputation on the line. 
 

Like I said, exceptional female ceos out there, Whelan is not one of them. Clearly hasn’t been achieved.

The club was well run for years under Vichai, Rudkin, Whelan et al. As I have said, people have left and not been replaced with quality. They need support in the boardroom. To throw insults around such as BJ giver extraordinaire shows your short term memory and it's very disrespectful when these people were a big factor in the clubs most successful period. As I have said, Whelan and Rudkin are merely a scapegoat for a incompetent owner who is incapable of making decisions to run this football club.

Was run well under Khun Vichai.
I see little evidence that his son has or is capable of running the club, in fact all evidence of the past three seasons demonstrates he and the board are not up to the job. In any performance based organisation you are judged on results. Top, Rudkin and Whelan have failed when measured against every metric that’s important.

[coolhandfox]

Top has you all on strings 

[Legend_in_blue]

I can't believe that this goes on and on and on and on.  

 

But it's all good because there are plenty of fans endorsing the club with season ticket sales thriving once again. 

 

What will it take to dampen the enthusiasm for season tickets?  

[gurru991]

I don't care if King Power are the owners as long as they hire competent people to run the club & don't let Top make any decisions.

The problem for me is that Top after fifteen  years of being involved in the club doesn't have a Scooby.

Give it some lacklustre years in the Championship and dare I say it, a relegation to League One, will soon a diminishing of ST purchasing.

Doesn't that work both ways though? If Rudkin and Whelan are responsible now, surely they were also responsible back then? And if they weren't responsible back then, surely the fault is Top's, as he's the main difference between then and now?

Yes to which I said in my original message. Vichai was hands on, sadly that has not been inherited by his son. Whelan and Rudkin are scapegoats to his sons incompetence. Read.

How much do King Power want to sell at? 
 

How much is it actually worth?

 

I hope we can find a decent buyer 

[frany104]

Sooner they sell up the better

I have next to no interest until they're gone. All this chat about managers and players is meaningless

I’ve finally reached this stage. It’s actually quite sad how little I care now. I should be furious. 
 

It’s only really when I come on here that I think about Leicester now.

 

Sort of like “oh yeah still no Leicester news. Oh well”

I'm getting dangerously close to the point of no return. I'm a football and Leicester obsessive but I've never felt so disconnected to the club and the sport in general. I find the PSR, VAR, FFP bollocks utterly tiresome and that coupled with the embarrassing levels of incompetence of our club is making it easier and easier for me to walk away from it all. Inevitably I'll still be drawn in but don't think it'll play as big a part in my life going forward

Yep, feel exactly the same 🙁

I’ve completely lost interest in football. I didn’t even watch the champions league final.
 

I don’t know if it would be different if Leicester were in a better place but I completely agree about being disconnected with the sport.

Can’t speak for everyone but for me, I don’t know that I’ll ever give up my season tickets. Reason being, I have gone since I was 12, and since 15 with my mates. I’m now around 30, and life has moved on to the point I would barely ever see those mates because of work and general life obligations, but the footy is always going to be a reason for us to meet up, have a drink and spend a day together. People have reasons to go back and it doesn’t mean that they approve of the club or the way it is running in any way. For me, I simply care for my mates more than I care about taking 400 quid out of a multi-billionaires pocket, that will likely be replaced by someone else who wants the seat

CEO not in charge of hiring these replacements ? CEO not in charge of ensuring business doesn’t nose dive in value  at an extraordinary rate ? CEO not in charge of ensuring incompetent decisions do not handicap the club for years ? CEO not in charge of anything ? You and I have a very different opinion of what a ceo is.

 

Like I said, the idea, Top, Whelan, Rudkin or anyone else sat there before 2015/2016 season and said, let’s go win this league or to believe that is stupidity of the highest order. 
 

The entire “goodness” you are referring to and subsequent performance since his passing have shown it was only Vichai. Whelan has not earned her position on hard work or intellectual like many others. She was handed a position by a loyal employer, just like Ruskin just like the little bastard Top. None of them wanted to take that opportunity and do basic steps to better themselves. no ceo worth anything sits there and watches the above paragraph happen on their watch. Thats why she is an absolute disgrace as she is screwing the company out of millions and giving nothing back.

I do agree with you mate. But ultimately the top (no pun intended) ensures that the CEO does their job efficiently and held accountable. If the owner does his job correctly, then the rest should run like a well oiled machine, which it did under Vichai's hands on approach and ultimately, led to the clubs greatest chapter.

 

I'm not saying Rudkin and Whelan should not be held accountable, but Top is letting the club drift and in turn they become scapegoats because of it. The book stops with the owner IMO. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

The state of this club at the moment is horrifying. 2 relegations in 3 years, a squad value that is diminishing, a season where we set a record for the number of games not scoring a goal at home, an impending points deduction, possible transfer restrictions or business plan and yet - 

 

- Manager is still in role 

- DoF looks so entrenched he will only leave when he decides to retire 

- Head of recruitment who has tanked in 3 of 4 windows we have been active in since he joined. 

- A CEO no longer fit for purpose and is slowly eroding the disconnect between club and its supporters 

- An owner who know treats us as customers and would rather fill the ground with day trippers, influencers and his mates. We are nothing more than a vanity project. 

not one of the above has left and if one does go it will be the manager, whilst the rest continue to destroy the club from the inside. I am sorry but whilst we may not be in Chansiri or Yongee territory just yet, we ain’t far away from it and make no mistake the continued distain shown to the fans and  this ongoing stubbornness and refusal to communicate, accept any accountability or responsibility for what has been an utter shit show these last 3/4 years, suggests nothing is going to improve in the future, they will continue to double down. 
 

The lack of any formal announcement or statement regards relegation is a complete lack of respect towards its fanbase. The charade with RvN is absolutely amateurish and shows the level of incompetence currently running this club. 
 

We need systemic change and quick as honestly I can only see a long hard stint in the EFL and a club ending up on its arse. 
 

We have one roll of the dice left and that is to completely reset bring in new fresh ideas and a progressive DoF, Head Coach and Head of Recruitment, focus on young hungry players and our academy prospects. 

[Bablemikey]

You’ve also got a vice chairman, financial director, and director of football operations on the board. All of them are culpable.
