Sack The Board - Chant

Rudkin isnt a statutory director but is very much part of the board make up, no ? We have senior roles throughout which make up the board make up. The FD, the General Counsel, the Communications Director, the Commercial Director are all non-stat directors (GC is comp sec) but just based on the role you would assume they made up the "board". Otherwise, the role and title wouldnt make sense. 

The club used to list the board on the website and he was never listed. Don't know if it's changed, not looked for a good while to be fair.

The club and the people there are capable of turning things around if they want to put in the effort. Look at last season, good manager choice, some decent recruitment and we saw results. We've had the same a few times, see Rodgers when he first came in. 

 

My biggest issue is the lack of consistency in direction and planning (that covers a lot, from managers to overarching transfer strategy) and allowing too much power to managers. This is a common theme now and we end up paying the price over and over again. 

 

How hard is it to have scouts who are constantly monitoring managers around Europe? Monitoring successful transfer strategies and looking to mirror what's done well. We were at our best when Walsh came in and was an innovator in his field at the time. Pearson allowed people like Rennie to innovate and do things differently and we reaped the rewards.

 

We just seem stagnant. Someone, somewhere in the club needs to start making proactive decisions to restart all the behind the scenes stuff. It's absolutely imperative to have that all spot on. If those there can't do it, or are against change then they need to be gone. 

I think everything has become too cosy and too close-knit. There used to be an air of ambition, and as you say, innovation at the club. Maybe all of that came from Pearson and Walsh, even after they'd left. Now it feels like a bunch of people just going through the motions, hoping the next reactionary decision will pay-off.

He’s listed part of the directors and senior management on the website. I’d be surprised if our FD and GC were not board members and they hold similar roles/titles to the DOF. I’m certain he would be a board member. The board meetings would be quite limited otherwise. Being Top, Whelan who doesn’t get involved in running the club as ceo (yes, I said it) and some Chinese investor.

I'm sure you're right, I think I'm mixing up my arguments to be honest

Biggest mistake is that people expect it to be run like a normal business. Football is weird at the best of times in terms of structure and leicester are even weirder.

As others have said, chants need to be directed at Top and King Power (although I concede this is unlikely with our soft fan base).

 

Chanting for Rudkin to go is fun, but it’s a bit like going to the supermarket and screaming at the teenager behind the till whilst their manager sits in the office with their feet up. It doesn’t really get to the root of the issue.

Rudkin isn't on the board  

Good point; well made.

 

Will be completely ignored.

[SK3Blue]

Vichai had a dream

To build a football team

Ruined by Rudkin

Now we’re going back down

Top don’t hold back

Give Rudkin the Sack

Then find the exit

And never come back

It isn't a good point though as it's not true....took the club 5 years to update who had the controlling stake of the club and just because he's not listed on companies house doesn't mean he doesn't sit on the board.

I've already said I'm mixing up my arguments, people used to say he was a Director, when he isn't.

Surely this needs thinking through. 'Sacking' King Power' doesn't make sense. Even if we got a multi-trillionaire they couldn't spend money due to PSR. Top is plenty rich enough and is clearly a good and responsible man and we should never forget that. Where I do agree is that Rudkin definitely, and Whelan by implication, have under performed for too long and should have gone a few years ago. Top needs to be more ruthless than he has been so far, just like his Dad would have been

It's not about spending money, it's about the club being run properly by football people who actually know how to run a football club. We know we can't compete financially with the cartel but (I'm sick of talking them but it's true) Brighton and Brentford have proven that if you have the right people at every level of the club, you can become a stabilised premier league club. Man United on the flip side have spent billions but are absolutely shite as they have terrible people running the club. Our whole club needs a shake up with a new board and a new recruitment team plus a whole new coaching team, not to mention a new squad. This obviously takes time but in order for the coaching and playing staff to be good, we've got to get the top of the club in order first otherwise we just end up back in the same spiral, signing dud players on long contracts with no sell on value. If Top can be ruthless (unlikely as he's not been at all since he took over from Vichai) and sack the board and look to start a fresh then fine, if he won't then he needs to sell. The club cannot continue in this spiral. Right now we are more likely to end up in league 1 soon than we are to be competing in the top 10 of the prem.

Aiyawatt CAN be ruthless when he wishes to be - as both Claude Puel and Steve Cooper can testify.  It depends on whom he chooses to listen to.

 

By the way, calling for the owner's head during the week of his dad's inquest is not something most of our fanbase outside here are likely to consider.

[Nolucklcfc]

Needs to be whether we win or lose (appreciate we ain’t winning) but this only gets spoken out when we go on a bad run. The chants need to be as loud whether we win, lose or draw. Otherwise it just looks like we are looking for people to blame. We have to stay consistent.

Fixed. 

[ashbyj]

No just a simple we 'we want king power out'. Like another poster pointed out the blame has to be put on the owner.

[Daggers]

Paying money to chant about the board? You’ll give KPFC the idea to open up a £25 admission pre-match anti-fanzone. 
 

They don’t give a fvck about your singing - stop giving them your money.

Not that you'd know, but there were plenty last night that did. Huge swathes of empty seats.

Can't believe I'm actually having to entice protests but here I am..

 

here's several to hopefully kick-start some kind of movement:

 

1. WE WANT RUDKIN OUT SAY WE WANT RUDKIN OUT. (Heard in phases already so nice and simple to start off.)

 

2. GET OUT OF OUR CLUB, JON RUDKIN, GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.

 

3. WE WANT OUR LEICESTER BACK.

 

4. I DONT CARE ABOUT RUDKIN, HE DONT CARE ABOUT ME, ALL I CARE ABOUT IS LCFC.

 

5. JON RUDKIN, WHAT A W⚓️

 

Feel free to say how petty and cringe this is but tell me what we're actively doing to stop it?

 

The clubs dying before our very eyes, and it's time they either step up or step aside.

 

 

 

 

 

He got a bit of a reprieve for a while  last night.

 

A small section in block P tried multiple times to start on Sue Whelan with chants of...

 

Susan's a sl&g olè olè......etc.

 

Couldn't bring myself to join in with that one and, as much as we detest those our chants are aimed at, neither did many others.

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

Just need to change the words to the 'I don't care about Rudkin' chant to 'I don't care about King Power' 

 

Rudkin is all kinds of useless, but as perfectly summarised above you're just shouting at the puppet rather than the puppet master. 

 

Hoping away from home where the fans are generally less happy clappy more anger is turned towards the directors box.

Banners are needed as well. 

I think this is the way personally. We'll never get enough people chanting anything anti-Top and the Rudkin stuff just won't cause enough of a stir as others have said.

 

Whereas a banner can be photographed and shared and seen by the right people.

 

Or just don't turn up of course.

Seemed like the whole stadium holding them up in the 90’s at Filbert Street. Bearing mind no social media back then would have in my mind been harder to organise.

Banners, singing, meh....organised boycott is needed...for those that want change.
