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

Fair enough. I'm just overly cynical towards the club at the moment 🤣

[fazzyfox]

Have taken a moment to re-read the OP as a refresher and consider the key points - It's about re-setting, demanding change, questioning the suitability of the decision makers, questioning the accountability of the people who have got us to a position where the manager THEY appoint lasts 4 months or so, where we have another pathetic transfer window where we don't even try to become competitive or relevant in this league because our hands are supposedly tied by the poor planning of previous buys. It's concern at our direction and the inevitable destination if nothing changes. Work out your own angle, your own gripe, what would you say if interviewed about it, your point in a nutshell, remember the commitments you make to the club, the efforts that got us to where we were, the good peoples work and determination compared to this current s**tshow. My "In a nutshell" would be why do we offer the contracts we do to players who aren't worth it. It's that that has tied our hands this window. Having Danny Ward and Eduauard putting out the cones at the training ground doing FA for their salaries that could have been used on young vibrant enthusiastic hard working players who contribute to the matchday squad week in week out. Having a tighter than tight budget and then identifying that Oliver Skipp would be a crucial part of our side worthy of the huge chunk of budget spent on him. Having no visible improvement coming from the root and branch investigation into our relegation season. Our current run, with just the brief caveat that was the Spurs game, a team who were uniquely at the point of collapse that weekend, is shocking but with so few alternatives we drive on in the same direction straight towards the cliff edge. "You've wasted all the money" would be my chant perhaps.

 

I say "All" but there has though been some impressive work, the identification and recruitment of Hermandson, Fatawu and El Khanous, all offering good value, regrettably what could have become the core of a vibrant young City side to be proud of will probably be ripped apart before it's even begun. After the root and branch review we handed out other contracts of unnecessary excessive length and cost, they appear to have learned or changed absolutely nothing.

 

The same club that emails me several times a week to ask about my "matchday experience", give me quotes from the players about their latest defeat and how determined they are to do better next time, sell me tat because "Ten Pound" and "Tuesday" start with the same letter....that same club have yet to communicate any disappointment or frustration at their failure to improve the desperate squad in the transfer window, despite knowing our best winger would be out for the season for a few months now. Look me in the eye and discuss why Eduauard was such a sensible choice, where the competition from other clubs was for Skipp and De-cordova-Reid that demanded such contracts to attain their crucial services, talk to me about the important things then maybe I'll look at your third choice training socks. It's not about individual players, emails, results, though it's about the collective direction and the absence of any effort to change direction.

Post of the week (possibly even the month!)

[Mickyblueeyes]

Can’t wait for 6/7 stewards to walk alongside the blacked out people carriers bringing in Rudkin and/or Top as they pass the ferocious city fans made of families, OAPs and generally good Leicester folk. #cuntpower.

[ProjectReset]

I guess we'll just have to risk it. 

 

Join us - the press will be there & a visit from a suitably supportive advertising van. 

 

Yellow is the colour we must unite behind. 

 

Please spread the word far & wide. Tell your mates, your brothers, your sisters, your aunties etc. 

 

This is a non-violent, fan-led protest - we're here to make a point, but hold each other to account & don't be a d*ck. One bad egg can spoil it for everyone else. This is about making our voices heard.

 

Further details to follow. 

 

[ProjectReset]

While I'm here - anyone happy to speak to the national press? They are looking for fan insight (beyond me) on why we are protesting.

 

I have written a long-form piece that will be published in due course - I will share this with you ahead of time so that you have a warm start.

Good spot!

 

I could lie and say 'yes'. Or I can be honest and say - it's the one that worked with the design. 

 

We're prepping another graphic shortly. Bear with us

Very good post

[Lionator]

Good luck guys! From the heart, this is our club, it’s time to get some responsibility back from the powers that be.

If you have sung ‘Rudkin Out’ you should back it and be at this.

Same. If you are going to that sort of level then you really do want him gone.

[Lako42]

See you there 

 

 

Spread the message far and wide

 

Numbers is key

[Silebyfox_89]

Not a nimby or anything but chanting "Rudkins a cvnt" isn't going to get buy in from the fuzz or the club.

 

If you want the numbers to multiply and be sustainable then it's got to be PC so its not dispersed.

 

I hope it gets the numbers it needs for the club to take notice and act.
