A Call for Change: A Footballing Reset at Leicester City Football Club

Even forest have proved there's value out there if you do the right scouting. Brentford and Brighton two shining examples as well.

 

It's mistakes after mistakes with the same people in charge. You can't excuse it or blame the system when other clubs are thriving in the same conditions on smaller budgets. We're just badly run and a change is needed.

And how many CHEAP premier league experienced players have they bought that have done well? Nobody is excusing them, we've once again been rubbish in the market, but as I say. If the manager is given the power to dictate premier league experienced players, you are basically doomed to fail most of the time, if you don't have the budget. We need a total rethink at the start of the chain in how we operate. 

 

Rather than nitpicking at every little thing, I'd rather go back to the root cause of issues. Focus on the bigger stuff, and the smaller stuff should sort itself.

Not read the thread but to increase potential exposure has anyone organising this contacted TNT sports? Given the game is on that channel they might want to explore speaking to part of the organisers, especially if our results stay the same and there becomes more support for the protest by the?

The buck stops with Top.

 

He must be the one to blame more so than Rudkin. 

His poor father must be so angry watching down seeing his legacy being destroyed in such a way, I’ll be there but they won’t listen to us they’ll just get on as they are now !

[dnewty]

I’ll be there, the club has been totally mismanaged for so long. Top hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing and due that inept people like Rudkin are stealing a living.

[FrankieADZ]

I do wonder how some of our "fans" think all of the shambles behind the scenes is acceptable,

as I said before, if the club was a "proper business" alot of the staff would have been sacked for gross incompetence

the stuff behind the scenes is a shambles and thats leaked to the playing side too

 

if you cant see something needs to change behind the scenes then frankly you are so so far gone, the club is not in a good way from top to bottom, last season covered over the cracks which have been visible for least 3/4 yrs

 

listen to the big strong leicester boys podcast, pure facts....nothing else, pretty much lays it bare with all thats wrong

This is incredibly sad reading. How anyone can absolve Top and Rudkin from the errors is beyond me. They have very much part of it, including, major decision taker, Top. 
 

Managers pick the players according to this. They sat there and let Cooper out of all people to spunk our highest net spend on guys like Ayew, Skipp and Okoli. 
 

Get these charlatans right out of the club. Rudkin out is not enough. It NEEDS to include Top.

[Happy Fox]

If Top had any vision he would have listened to Potter and got rid of Rudkin but he doesn’t want to do that, he’s clueless, he won’t change. King Power need to sell the club.

[Pliskin]

The sheer silence is incredible……. Absolutely nothing…..

It’s a good shout but also risky. If it’s a shit turn out, it has the opposite effect where is just looks like a few grumpy fans.

Anyway of reading without paying? 

[FLAN]

Would it surprise anyone if people protesting were denied entry to the game?

Sadly can't see the local news outlets going near this until it's actually happening, certainly not being seen to promote it. 

 

Feels like they're all petrified of the club revoking access.

Tanner only scratches the surface there. Obvs he only has x amount of words to okay with....but it doesn't convey not nearly strong enough the weird weird subservient, incompetent world of KP.

Disgusting that reporting on the catastrophic decision making is so limited because of the way the club behaves when it feels like it's being criticised. Despotic stuff. 

[Paninistickers]

Jason Bourne has gone all in. Though I guess his entire job isn't dependent on City 

[Paninistickers]

I also hope this protest zones in on the general antipathy the club has towards it's supporters and ticket selling 

 

The charge sheet for this is long..three I would list, deliberately historic to illustrate the point the mismanagement has been for years 

 

1. Charity shield tix were effectively hidden away. -General sale was for one single  morning  just 24 hours prior to match....in favour of a social media pump of Villarreal friendly tickets

 

2. General sale last season generally went unannounced / unadvertised, leaving fan groups to spread  the word.  Result were empty seats week after week for games that could easily have sold out 

 

3. The Europa fiasco of control freakery  / refusal to offer Moscow ticket 'letter of intent'   to supporters until after the visa deadline had passed. Consequently only 26 travelled.

I'm surprised at the articles Tanner has been putting out tbf.

I'm not on X, is there a way I can see what he's said or could you summarise?

 

I read Tanners article this morning, given he pretty much always plays us with a straight bat it was quite damning of what's happened (by his standards)

 

Rudkin is in charge of football affairs, although he delegates major decisions to Khun Top. But managing Leicester’s football matters has become a huge concern. Other clubs have appointed people to assist the director of football to manage the workload and speed up the decision-making, which has become too slow at Leicester.

 

Recruitment has been a huge issue. It has become scattergun, with no clear vision.

 

Quite cutting from Tanner for once
