I've always held the view that I don't truly believe that we, as an entire fanbase, dream of a team of Barry Hayles

Hands up if you do dream of that

Leicester fans didn’t have a special relationship with Vichai.

 

The tragic circumstances of his death triggered grief buried within people for people they actually knew and it took on a Princess Diana esque spectacle where it was, quite frankly, ridiculous to see people crying in public over someone they never knew.

 

Leicester fans couldn’t recognise his voice, tell you his birthday (despite the free doughnuts) or anything else significant about him as a man. He was as private and shady as a man gifted a monopoly by the king of Thailand should be.

 

The co-ordinated grief and brain-washy type slogans like ‘Always In Our Hearts’ and ‘The Boss’ pushed by the club are superb examples of how you can manipulate the majority of people into thinking a certain way. This is now actually harming the club as accountability for the current owner is lacking due to association with the former

one.

 

 

Never used to sing "Vichai had a dream" when he was alive. Makes you think.

We played well against Villa in both League Cup semis but come up against a goalkeeper who had a career high performance 

 

The first bottling of the CL wasn’t really a bottling. It was because other clubs went into turbo mode 

Not unpopular. Nyland was insane over two legs.

 

Maybe an unpopular opinion is that I don't really care that we lost.

Yes it stung being in the away end when they bagged a last gasp winner but I thought both legs were thoroughly enjoyable. Good amount of needle. Shame Kelechi scored at the other end because it was bedlam for his equaliser at their place.

First one we were clear by a country mile then collapsed after Christmas then harder after lockdown 

 

Second one we were hit and miss all season and probably finished where we deserved 

 

(Even though we were 20 min away from sealing it)

Disagree 

 

First leg at the KP we didn’t turn up, second we did but couldn’t finish them off

The other point is that as a match going fan, Europe was a no go.

have you heard of this thing called COVID, kinda shut down a lot of the airports throughout the latter half of 2020

Couldn't travel to European games the season after because of COVID. 

 

The final of the Carabao was 1st March - we lock downed by 23rd.

Rodgers had little involvement in our success from 2019-2021, both tactically and motivationally.

 

We already started playing "peak Rodgers ball" in the Brighton game before he had even joined, the style of play just came from Tielemans settling in to the team.

 

When we started losing he was clueless at being able to turn results around as he didnt fundamentally understand why it worked in the first place.

 

The longer he stayed the more he got his grips into the team, the less we took risks on the ball and played attractive football and the more we aimlessly passed it around the back. 

 

He was a mediocre/poor manager who is good at picking teams to join when theyre trending upwards.

Anyone who sits outside in the freezing cold for perhaps three hours, paying a small fortune to do so, watching a match that's being shown live on free TV, needs their brains testing. 70-odd thousand is a lot of brains to test!

I wish that we hadn't sacked Rodgers until the end of the season so that he has that relegation on his CV.

I'm always surprised how fondly 03/04 is remembered on this forum. I think of it as a total nightmare of a season that set us back for years. Should've finished midtable and Adams, as nice a guy as he is, bore a lot of responsibility for our subsequent decade of decline. 

I hinted at it earlier in this thread but Micky Adams is overrated by our fans. Did a good job in the promotion season albeit with a very good squad but the Premier League season was a shambles. 3 home wins is terrible. He then presided over an awful summer transfer recruitment, played hideous football and wasted a chance for promotion and the future.

Iheanacho is one of the best big game players we’ve had. Dragged us to the cup final, scored in every round bar the final, so composed for his community shield pen, scored that equaliser you mentioned.

He scored important goals but I wouldn't say he is a big game player. Some of his best form came during the time there were no crowds, and in the actual cup final his nerves showed.

 

Having said that it's difficult to really gauge because he was in and out of the team for us. I do love him overall.

Yeah! You're right.

 

I will elaborate. I don't use one. My son takes his and gives it to a mate at school who cant go to games. My wife has issues with her hands to she actually uses it. 

 

I don't have the hate for them others do. But i also wouldn't lose any sleep if they weren't there.

I knew we were ****ed when they were actually really effective in the West Ham game. Doomed to be forever known as a tinpot, plastic, clapper club...

You make an extraordinary good case. Reprieved !

I feel like we never utilised him properly. 114 starts (121 nineties), 61 goals, 33 assists is a fantastic record.

 

The most starts in a PL season was 16, it felt like if he had 3 bad games he was dropped -  everybody else has had the luxury of 5+.

[CrazyKopCorner]

The final game Vs Blackburn last season I found Us to be incredibly unprofessional and I was so ****ed off I left before the ceremony was presented after all of the titting around. 

 

I had an inclination then that this season would be a shambles. 

 

A football club with totally unprofessional players and a ****ing circus off of it

We had a transfer embargo throughout 02-03 and a very limited transfer budget - among the lowest in Premier league history - the year afterwards, during which we also lost Muzzy Izzet (our top player in that side) for several months through injury. 

 

Relegation was therefore not a total shock.

 

But Micky Adams was burnt out by the summer of 2004 and should have walked then.

 

Instead, he flooded the squad with has-beens and set the club back years.

Susan Whelan is fit.
