He did sign a 4 year deal, in 2019 after the loan and left in 2023?

Yep, fair. Then it was four and we wanted five..

 

Someone cleverer than me will confirm he wanted a year less than we wanted. I 100% recall a convo on radio five about it, one of the Monday night club  journalist guys saying he'd seen how hard we'd bargained for Maguire and Mahrez and didn't want that same lock in.

For the life of me I cannot get my head around why some people constantly keep moaning about Seagrave. It was and is an objectively good move.

 

It has no impact on FFP / PSR, we can build all of the training facilities we want, we can build ten Seagraves, it's not had an impact on the current financial problems but it IS an extremely valuable asset that the club now own.

 

You can criticise the current ownership for many, many, many, many, many things but on what planet was building world class training facilities (and they are world class training facilities) a bad thing?

 

And absolutely, 100% miss me with that "iT mAdE tHe PlAyErS soFt" horseshit as if they can't possibly put up a fight unless they're training out of Rothley Imps U9s PortaKabin.

 

Another reason why I’ve found the delayed response to expanding the ground confusing. More people in the stadium means further income and further commercial revenue.

 

Let alone ignoring the fact you now have a bigger more modern asset to own.

The stadium is just a much, much, much bigger and more complex project though isn't it. 

 

Other than environmental concerns, there wouldn't be and wasn't a massive amount out of the ordinary in buying a huge piece of land like a golf course and building on a blank slate. 

 

Redevelopment of the stadium and the surrounding area is an absolutely massive undertaking. There's significant involvement politically and rightly so. Even just simply the extra surge in traffic on match days is a huge policing, traffic and infrastructure concern before you even start thinking about building anything. 

 

Even when everything is signed off and agreed, which takes years, you've then got to consider that you're agreeing to do major building work on a structure that you rely on 9 months of the year. We can't afford to temporarily reduce our match day revenue right now which we may have to do in terms of reducing capacity to do building work during the season. 

 

Anyone thinking you can reliably guarantee it'd all be done during one summer hasn't studied a single British engineering project in the last fifty odd years, haha. 

 

A bigger stadium with better facilities comes with more running costs well what happens if we're relegated and the demand plummets and we don't even fill 30k let alone the new max? 

 

And this isn't London, there's no guarantee we're going to attract gigs and shows and other sporting events outside lcfc even if we build an arena and renovate the ground. The entire thing is a risk, it's a gamble. 

 

There's not really a major risk in building a training ground.

The club just published a new official Leicester's The Place podcast titled "The Togetherness is Unbelievable" 

Clearly recorded a few weeks ago with Coady, but the timing probably isn't coincidental. 

 

 

[FrankieADZ]

All -

 

After being released from being shadow-banned on 'X' / Twitter, the account is now gaining significant traction. Our message is being heard (20k+ people have seen it) - including notably from the admin at the club, who accidentally liked and then unliked the post haha! Numbers are growing rapidly by the hour. It's clear that the club are taking note. 

 

Special thank you to those who have reached out to assist - including helping to redesign the banner, expertly done!

 

Thank you also to @Ric Flair & the boys at The Big Strong Leicester boys for communicating exactly what we're all feeling. 

 

Will announce details about how all this will all work in due course. As a reminder, we cannot just publish this information wholesale at this stage as we will be blocked.

 

However, let me be absolutely clear about one thing: this is a non-violent protest.

 

Let's keep spreading the message far and wide.

And of course the responses on X include these absolute gems. We must have the wettest fanbase in world football.

 

What you going to do, raise the £500 million to buy out Top ?? No didn't think so Here's a thing, how about channelling your energy in what you can effect , getting behind the team !!

 

We won the premier league and the FA Cup. As far as I’m concerned Top can dissolve the club and tip into the Soar. We’re back to the yo-yo we’ve always been. It’s inevitable. What a ride it was though

 

Blaming the owners after everything they have done for the club and the city is just bizarre. It isnt great atm, but memories are short.

It's just one of those things mate - everyone's got an opinion. The good thing is, the more people engage, the more people will see it (and likely call out poor shouts like the one you've quoted above). Utterly bizarre to think the decline we've continued to see is 'inevitable'. It's exactly the sort of complacent & passive mentality the enables the rot to set in.

Great work, out of curiosity have you reached out to any media outlets to spread the message?

Yes - a couple have been in touch for more information. Regrettably, some of the more well-known journalists have advised that at this stage, they cannot directly support / publish as it puts them in a difficult situation with the club. Which is understandable. 

 

That's why we need to build the momentum organically, there will be a tipping point whereby editors will be comfortable taking on the risk upsetting the club.

I mean really this in itself shows how toxic the senior management of the club must be, to run it North Korea style. Independent Journalists should be able to have opinions and report stories without fear of some kind of dystopian retribution.

Could there be a Threads account created? I won't use X anymore because of Adolf Musk...although I suppose my Threads days are probably numbered if I'm going to have standards.

it is pretty horrific if they cant see the damage that is being done to the club and its name in general

the mismanagement of the club etc is frankly awful

how can anyone think its acceptable,

 

even little things at the club too, its a shambles

[Gazza3]

Are you planning on recommending entering the stadium 15 mins after ko . Live TV game and would have an impact if enough  join in

No point, everyone would then have to leave immediately to beat the traffic

[DerbyshireFox]

Mentioned by Percy in his damning article today so clearly gaining some recognition 

[Fox85]

At this rate they will need to make the protest sooner tge club is literally imploding.

Maybe it was a way for people in the club to surreptitiously show support for your cause. 

 

The non-football staff at the club can't be happy with the situation especially as relegation puts their jobs at risk.
