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

[LCFCJohn]

I find it disheartening how many on even this forum and this thread as well as the wider fan base seem to think there are no issues within the club and are happy with how things are going.

 

It makes me feel like just let whatever decline we are on continue. It’s Rodgers all over again. Those of us who spoke out early about the decline were mocked and shouted down until it was too late. If we end up back in League 1, so be it.

How classy. Being wrong, getting pulled up on it, and your first thought is calling someone else out rather than just owning your mistake.

 

No need to bring the depression thread into things either, that's a proper low. I post in there, it doesn't mean I expect to also post here with impunity from piss taking or correction. It's an open forum with many facets, and each should be taken for what they are. 

Well said Debs. One poster who talks sense.

That's the thing. Even if you were solely bothered by results on the pitch, that is failing too. Nothing to be positive about.

 

Man Utd fans had issues with the Glazers but for a while had trophies and good football. You can hide or quieten failure off the pitch with success on it. 

 

Without that, what do we have left?

Just memories. We will be the new Forest without living in the past.

 

Im kind of morbidly curious to see how bad it can get before some of those who aggressively defend the club go quiet.

This thread has got slightly de-railed. Need to keep the ball rolling now after Saturday......

There’s a no fly zone for drones around the stadium before, during and after a game. I’m not sure of the boundary though

Mate. I’ll do what I want. 
 

I don’t care about all that. Someone’s got lead from the front.

No one called him a çunt. 
However, he is a useless çunt. Maybe that will go on the next van.

 

 

[C.J]

I think the 'premier ambitions, amateur decisions ' was the pick of the bunch. If a plane is organised then you need to have that one on the banner.

[ozvaldo]

The thing with the van is - people paid to add a message and contribute getting something off the ground. 
 

It’s easy for all the safe fans who didn’t step up in anyway to start criticizing about what they found “too personal” and “offensive”.  Just **** off. You’re half the problem. 
 

You’ve gotta get a bit personal in this situation to make Top wake up and pay some attention. (Let’s remember, he was off swinging his little wooden polo club on the back of a horse on deadline day). He’s let Rudkin stay in post for too long. - People find the messages ‘offensive’…?  **** off. 
 

We have no issue with King Power being in charge as long as capable people are running the show. However, they’re not. We’ve got that plum, Rudkin and piss-head Whelan ant the wheel.  And some of us are pissed off. 
 

It’s no good sticking with one generic safe and vanilla message. It’s not enough. 
 

That said, if people are seriously offended, get off your arse and do something about it yourself. 

[C.J]

With a plane banner you can only pick one though. No room for naff ones like the Cupid message (cringe worthy effort whoever came up with that).

You’re right. The messages helped to get people outside of the LCFC bubble talking, tbh I’d even say out of the hardcore LCFC bubble, as most casual fans seem to think nothing is wrong with the club in its current state. That really was the aim of the van, to bring awareness to the genuine issues people have with the club currently.

 

In regards to the likes of Rudkin and Whelan, would Top/King Power accept people in positions of power causing multiple accounting years of £85+ million losses in any of their other business arms? Would they accept a dramatic fall in performance like the football club has seen over the past 4 years? No, they wouldn’t, so why is it acceptable to leave the club in the hands of people who have proven they cannot maintain standards?

Poor turnout, immature personal messaging , over 99% of matchday attendees had and wanted absolutely nothing to do with the childish debacle.

Embarrassing.

The egos behind it , the very noisy minority,  neither represent the vast majority of fans nor have their backing. 

 

 

 

You know what, I think you might be right about it being the ‘noisy minority’ protesting.

 

But, guess what?

 

It was the noisy minority expressing disappointment and frustration at us missing out on the Champions League from seemingly unassailable positions because they knew they were sliding doors moments, whilst the rest were saying “but we were in League One 13 years ago”.

 

It was the noisy minority expressing concerns over the failure to qualify from an easy-ish Europa League group and the league form in 2022/23 because it hinted at a staleness and decline, whilst the rest were saying “but we reached a European semi-final”.

 

It was the noisy minority saying that Rodgers needing sacking and it doing quickly in 2023/24, whilst the rest were ripping ‘Rodgers Out’ signs out of people’s hands and giving him a free pass because of the FA Cup.

 

Maybe it might be time to listen to that minority? You know, before they’re proved right yet again on this one? Just a thought.

King Power haven't got the backbone to get rid of Rudkin, so they can go too. King Power have been absolute failures for us in the last 4/5 years. They've been the reason for our financial ruin in last 3/4 years and for our relegation 2 years ago and potential relegation this season.

Yes they’ve not done great in the last few seasons but they employ people to run the club, think yourself lucky when we got taken over we could of had the Blackburn owners and look what they’ve done over the last 10 yrs.

Our football club's being driven into the ground right now. I don't "think myself lucky" to bear witness to that.

It just sums up us as a club. I would say there’s still clusters of fans who haven’t actually got a clue about football….. they’re Leicester followers, but couldn’t tell you anything about football. There’s a chap who sits next to me, he couldn’t even name our entire squad, let alone another team’s player…. He also asked me where BDR came from and is he any good because he had never heard of him……

 

I don’t know why this is, do we share a lot of fans win the tigers? Who have just followed Leicester based sports teams because they’re both half decent? I don’t know……. I’ve said for a while the KP is a geriatrics disco, in the 20 odd year span I’ve been going it’s been the same faces with only old age that’s stopped people going. There’s also a real lack of kids where I sit, and one of the few young lads who sits near us often comes in an Arsenal or Man City shirt too. So are we getting as many young fans through the turnstiles as we would like? 
 

There’s probably a science to it, but generally I think the majority of the fan base who attends a match day genuinely thinks we are all okay, and that KP are still descendants of a god, and we’re just having a whoopsie because we’re “liccle Leicester Citeh”…

You can't just say that though. For every Blackburn there is a Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton. There are bad owners of course but if you take our last 4 or 5 years we are sleepwalking into being the next Blackburn. 

 

I don't get what it's going to take for fans to look a little deeper and realise how much of a mess we are. It's like have a 50m quid mansion  that everyone is jealous of and letting a load of squatters live in it!

KPFC loyalist out in force I see. Carry on your blind loyalty to these clowns and you might not have a club to support in 10 years. We need change and your too blind to see it until it too late. Not only are we heading towards our second relegation in 3 years but if it happens then we'll be stuck in the championship for years with the odd visit to League 1 and possibly administration too.

Leading from the front by wasting your time calling a drone company to find out what I’ve just told you?

 

Fill yer boots leader! 

[The Hitman]

Glad to see @ProjectReset has said on X that this is just the start, it sounded like they wouldn’t carry it on after the first one. 
 

Also @ozvaldo keep up the good work, I will contribute again to whatever you get set up. 

[CosbehFox]

Still think the ownership gets off far too lightly with stuff off the pitch.
 

The bans, the sensitive approach on social media, ticketing policy, ticketing pricing, dodgy sponsor, ever increasing shirt prices, a lack of further coverage on youth teams, the tone deaf messaging at times. Just a quick round up. 
 

These are direct attacks on the supporters. The footballing side is extremely annoying but it’s part what effects so us so much more

I don't think myself lucky because we're a couple of years behind Blackburn.

Can easily see both sides here. Totally agree with you calling people out (correctly) for not doing anything, but also agree that more factual messaging would have been harder hitting. There's always next time.

And this is exactly the reason we’re so pissed off. The club are either delusional, or simply don’t give a shit……
