King Power Out

[Guest DannyBray31]

I Remember sharing this after the Blackburn game last season but it feels right to highlight again the ‘KPFC’ element to our football club

 

 

The whole ‘ Vichai’s dream came true’ motto that was getting paraded on a sign around the pitch after the Title win last season I really struggled to get on board with. 

 

Vichai’s dream came true when we won the Premier League in 2016 and then he had another bonus come true in us winning the FA Cup back in 2021 in his memory- something I’m sure he’d have set as a ideal and incredible target to complete the set and win the club the only domestic trophy they hadn’t won. 🏆 

 

Getting relegated in the fashion we did and then winning the championship (for the second time under King Power ownership) whilst being completely the wrong side of FFP to the point where it could have serious damage for the future of the club in the next 15/20 years, I don’t think would’ve been in his planning or aspirations. 
 

Again a fine example of Top and the club not celebrating achievements but celebrating rectifying failure!

Whilst a lot of fingers are rightly being pointed at Top, the Board are accountable for this too.

He is on the board. He sits on the chairman’s seat.

 

He’s a ****ing idiot and we are stuck with him.

Anybody would be better than these fools, I don’t care if they have less money in the bank, these charlatans are shit.

[Realist Guy In The Room]

Unfortunately the end of the road has been reached.  It’s been wonderful.

 

They came in during a real time of turmoil and rescued us.  They gave us memories that we didn’t even dare to dream of and got us ever so close to actually being something other than what we are.  A yoyo club.

 

But the magic has gone and party is over.  The nightclub lights have come on and the 9/10 stunner has become the 2/10 munter.

 

We’re not attractive enough for the oil money so god knows what we’ll end up with but this really feels like the end.  Whether they’re ready to admit it or not is another story but I hope they dont wait to the stage that protests start.

It's a shame that we aren't as good as running a football team as we are at gaming the psr rules.

[Larry_LCFC]

King power as the "dream owners" died with Vichai that night. Top has been nothing short of woeful as a chairman. You can chuck the million quid here and there to charity but in terms of running a football club, he either doesn't know how or doesn't care.

I’m genuinely interested if there are any fans that want KP to stay?

 

I’ve been adamant it’s been time to sell up for a few years now. Surely there isn’t anyone that thinks they are doing well and wants them to stay now?

There are plenty. That’s the unfortunate thing.

Top and Jon Rudkin are a pair of absolute ****ing morons who have managed to take a once-promising football club and turn it into a complete shitshow. These two dickheads couldn't manage a ****ing lemonade stand, let alone a Premier League club. But here we are, watching these clueless ****wits steer Leicester City straight into the gutter, all while doing absolutely nothing but patting themselves on the back for the privilege of running the place into the ground.

 

Let’s talk about Steve Cooper, the cheap-as-shit, bottom-of-the-barrel managerial appointment that these two tossers decided was the answer. Cooper is the kind of manager who couldn’t organize a piss-up in a brewery. He’s got all the tactical nous of a potato and the charisma of a wet dishcloth. But why did Top and Rudkin hire him? Because he was ****ing cheap. He didn’t demand a competent squad or even basic managerial resources. It’s like they went into a car dealership, saw a rusted-out heap of junk with no wheels, and said, “That’ll do.” A manager with no ambition, no vision, no nothing. A ****ing yes-man who wouldn’t dare rock the boat or ask for anything that might actually make the team competitive.

 

And what did they give him to work with? A squad so bad, even a Sunday League team would laugh at them. They handed him a group of players who were more interested in collecting a paycheck than playing actual football. It’s like giving a drunk, mentally challenged monkey a bag of bricks and telling it to build a house. What the **** did they think was going to happen? Van Nistelrooy—****ing VAN NISTELROOY—walks into that mess and has to deal with a bunch of overpaid, injury-prone willy pullers who can’t pass a ball five yards without tripping over their own ****ing feet. He was handed a pile of dogshit wrapped in a Leicester shirt and expected to work miracles. Well, newsflash: he couldn’t, because it was a ****ing disaster waiting to happen.

 

And the most insulting part? They couldn’t even bother giving Van Nistelrooy a competent Director of Football. No, these two numpties just threw him into the deep end, hoping he could swim with a ****ing anchor tied to his legs. Rudkin is so useless, he couldn’t spot a decent player if they came up and slapped him in the face. The guy is a walking embodiment of failure, a man whose only skill is looking completely ****ing out of his depth. His transfer dealings are so bad, they make you want to gouge your eyes out. The squad is a collection of washed-up has-beens, injury-prone disasters, and players who look like they’ve never seen a football in their life.

 

Top and Rudkin have absolutely ****ed over Van Nistelrooy. They’ve set him up to fail at every ****ing turn. He didn’t even have a fighting chance. They’ve taken a once-great club and turned it into a laughing stock. The fans who supported Leicester through thick and thin? We’re the ones getting ****ed in the hoop while these two clueless bellends sit on their thrones, doing nothing but watching the whole thing crumble. It’s beyond embarrassing.

 

If Leicester were a person, it’d be the pathetic twat at the bar trying to chat up women with no game and a permanently sweaty forehead. It’s the kind of person who thinks they’re the centre of attention while everyone else is wondering how the hell they managed to get this far in life. And Top and Rudkin are the absolute worst kind of managers—those who have no ****ing clue what they’re doing but somehow keep finding a way to **** everything up even more.

 

They’ve taken Leicester City to the depths of misery. They’ve ruined Van Nistelrooy’s potential, destroyed any hopes of progress, and left the club in a state so ****ing dire, it’s a miracle anyone still bothers to watch them. Top and Rudkin are a cancer to this club, and until they’re gone, Leicester will keep circling the drain. Get these two useless ***** out of our club before they completely ruin it for good. They’re not even bad at their jobs—they’re ****ing terrible.

 

 

I have run out of reactions, this 100% nails it for me 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Top heart is in the right place, but the problem if I don't think is loyalty/trust is. I don' think we can just shout KP out as not sure who would want us. But a chnge in structure and maybe investment/new voice?

He's a billionaire, he also isn't interested in change.

No consequences to those 115 charges I’d suggest is them running it amazingly well!

His heart isn’t in the right place otherwise we wouldn’t be this shit. He’s more loyal to acolytes than he is the club or its fans.

 

Bringing a horde of Thai minor celebrities and hangers-on for a tour round the pitch, stealing the limelight from the players, then whacking them on a bus parade proved that it’s a vanity thing. Mince pies or desiccated f ucking coconut doesn’t mean anything, probably not even his idea, I doubt he even foots the bill.

 

Who would want us? We have a big fan base, planning approved for expansion for a relatively decent, new ground, arguably the best training facility in world football, an academy that’s generated £150m+ in sales over the past 5 years. 
 

King Power aren’t doing us a favour by owning us.

Enzo saw this a mile off and is a big reason as to why he left imo.

I know, despite my silly comment I am 100% with you.

 

I think that's what angers me the most is how close we were, it wasn't an anomaly, it wasn't luck, we had a model  a philosophy a direction, and somewhere along the line those in charge lost their way, but rather than demand better from themselves they have ran from accountability  they've deflected the blame and looked at us as a fanbase and said "how dare you question us" and unfortunately a large proportion of fans fell for it.

 

I am so proud of what this club achieved under king power, they've given me moments I never thought was possible and I thank them eternally for that, but that does not give you cart blanche to run the club in the way they have the last few years.

 

I have no idea about how the operation works, but I do have a long list of extremely dumb things that as a club we've done for about 4 straight years that no one seems to be accountable for. But there are alot of constants in those decisions and they must shoulder the blame.

It was both. The problem is the model came from a manager, and yet it's director of football who got the reward for it.

 

They still can't see it either.

Nigel Pearson and his staff are the reason the King Power ownership did well.

I always suspected it. Gut instinct never lies. The truth is revealed.

[Paninistickers]

Part of me just fancies us getting worse and worse and worse and plummet through the leagues....just to see where the straw really breaks the camel's back. 

 

In a way, makes no odds to me. I'll still be a fan whatever division we are in. 

 

I can see the comical side of Whelan/Rudkin conducting the fifth consecutive 'internal review' after a relegation and still being in post.

Top isn’t going to walk away. He has too much emotion on line. I can pinpoint exactly when his relationship with the fans was doomed to fail. Eindhoven away, when he was treated like royalty. He walked around a city square with no intention of visiting one of the restaurants off it but lapped up applause and handshakes. The control was conceded there and he had the moment which made him see how this relationship should be. 
 

The only way is if the family turn the taps off and want to get some money back because it’s a ****ing awful business deal at the moment. The club is dropping value consistently. 

Seing grown men drop the floor for someone who’s achieved precisely nothing in his life bar being the son of a billionaire was completely pathetic
