Okay guys - this is it. Forgive the indulgent final call. It's important.

Tomorrow is a defining day for us as a fan base at Leicester City. How we show up - in numbers, in voice and in unity will speak volumes. We have to show that we are not passive. As a group, we must demonstrate that we refuse to sit back and watch our club slide into the abyss.

 

Top's pretty shambolic press release (which speaks volumes about how desperate they are to avoid embarrassment), only reinforces the distance between the club and our fanbase. This isn't about one bad window or one bad season. 

 

It’s about fixing what is broken:

• Real accountability at the top - bad decisions must have consequences and accountability.
• Direct, honest communication - no more secrecy and silence in the face of sustained failure.
• A clear direction and identity, a vision that we can believe - be a part of, and ultimately a united fan base. 

This started as one disillusioned fan, and it became a movement of thousands. In less than a month, over a million people have seen our message across multiple platforms and media outlets. The response has been overwhelming. Leicester City still has a fan base that cares deeply and is ready to fight for its future.

 

I’ve been overwhelmed by the support from volunteers - fans willing to give their time, effort, and creativity to push this message forward. For reasons that have been clear, most have wished to remain anonymous - you know who you are & I am grateful. 

 

Whatever happens next, it will be because of us. If this movement succeeds, it’s because we stood together and made it happen.

 

If it falls short, it’s because collectively, we didn'y do or care enough. Because we chose not to act when it mattered most.

 

It has been a privilege to bring this movement to life, knowing that we have a passionate, dedicated fan base. Remember, we must always treat each other with respect. We all want what's best for the club. We're allowed to disagree respectfully. 

 

Hold each other to account tomorrow - no silly business and no matter what, back the team on the pitch. 

 

As of tonight, I will sign off for the final time. 

 

As of tomorrow, I will return to being a husband, a father, a salaryman - and above all, a Leicester City fan.

 

Let’s make history.

Viva la revolución.

I am not sure today is a defining moment unless it fizzles out and allows the club to dismiss it as a handful of disgruntled supporters.

 

I suspect you and I have quite a bit in common professionally so you will be aware of the risk of declaring victory too soon if there is a strong turnout today and a conciliatory response from the club.  The pressure needs to be maintained until change is realised, not just promised.  Even then an open system of accountability to the fanbase is needed - if this can be achieved through Foxes Trust and/or FAB then fine.  If not then there needs to be another mechanism.

 

For me it is not good enough for them to say that ‘lessons have/will be learned’ - the current Board and Senior Management have shown shown over several years that they are incapable of running the club on and off the pitch so need to be replaced.  I know others disagree but I would be quite happy with Top remaining as owner if he recognises that he is not up to the job of being Chairman and steps aside for someone with the the necessary footballing experience and business acumen.

Ginetta is the leader of the clappers. He’s not a fan, he is merely a seat warmer who follows Leicester City, you’re either a follower, or a fan. Those criticising the fans who aren’t happy with the current erosion of the club will just follow it into the abyss.
 

He is the type of guy who sits nibbling away on his free cake grinning like a Cheshire Cat swinging his legs back and forth watching the club burn.

Hope it goes well 

 

@ProjectReset thank you for your efforts

Would it be worth posting the flyer again with details of were to meet and time at the top of each page throughout the morning, just to catch people who come and look for details?

Good call

Can I just say, I understand the significance of yellow. 

 

However, would red not have been a better colour? Purely on the basis that it isn’t a colour associated with Leicester.

A red wall of opposition….

Probably not the best as today’s opposition play in Red. We also need to back the lads on the field and show our support.

Yes, fair point in fairness. 

[Vlad the Fox]

It’s also possible that we’ll be getting some animosity from other supporters, kpfc fans, those that believe you should just support the team or those that really don’t have a clue what’s going on beyond what they see on the pitch. 
 

We don’t need to be getting into aggressive arguments with them, explain the reason or walk on if they won’t listen. We need to hold the high ground.
 

The club will be hoping it’s a one off and fades away, a successful protest without trouble will receive positive media coverage which will in turn raise awareness and increase numbers to maintain the pressure on the club.

How is this guy chairman of any official supporters club when he is obviously all too willing to just accept constant mistakes

What  an absolute bell end Ginnetta is. Has the pillock not thought to himself ,why will this season be difficult and why a points deduction?  If I work my way back from that I might get answers.  What a cretin and another reason we are in this mess.

Cliff Ginsters more like.... his face and opinions are flaky at best.

I'm probably going to get pelters for this, but isnt the messages a bit childish?

 

Sure use it to want action and change, all for that bit it seems it could have a more deeper use of it. Like change is over due, or Rudkin, why are you making the same mistakes again? The messages could be more constructive. 

 

It's not to my taste, lets be honest.

You can organise the next one. Pop a quote from Goethe on the side

It’s much easier to criticise than actually doing something to drive change. (No pun intended)

I think some of the messages are better than others but I can’t criticise those who are having a go at doing something like this.

Probably so but it's gold for the press to report on and hopefully will create more column inches. At least that's my thought process.

 

It might be peacocking a little but hopefully all stakeholders will take notice.

 

It's only the beginning I hope

Completely agree. Comes across as childish and unnecessarily personal. 
 

Play the ball not the man. Criticise decisions but why the need to try and humiliate someone? Completely undermines everything.

Diverse fanbase, can't please everyone. Get behind it, even if doing so with a sardonic sigh!

I'm not saying it's impressive to get it organised, you've missed my point. Something like this could dilute the whole message for change. Which is what we all want, definitely. Ah well, like I say it was just my opinion and it could have been used in a more constructive way.

But put out a message they can report. All this shows is stupid pictures. Present facts. Present ideas. This presents nothing of substance
