How bad have you seen it?

[Corky]

Genuinely think we are flattered by our position.

 

This is worse than 2002.

[murphy]

One thing that stuck in my mind was reading that a Brentford fan said that we were the worst team he had seen in their five years at this level.

 

And that was before last night's humiliation.

I’ve only been going since the O’Neill days, but this is the worst I’ve known it.

 

It may be the passing of time, but you could almost excuse previous shit teams. We’ve gone from underdogs to being dopey fat cats.

 

Brentford’s wage bill will be considerably less than ours.

It is where the whole argument about stifling ambition and closed shops falls down. We are miles behind virtually all clubs at this level, not just the elite.

[Mickyblueeyes]

In the top flight, this year and 2002 (?) under Bassett were the worst. The thing about the Bassett side is they were genuinely crap. So many should never have played at this level. The weird thing is, he also persisted with the same formation and style throughout his season - I’m certain Micky changed it when he took over in the last 4 and we were undefeated! 
 

This year, shit manager and not a great squad but we are atrocious because of a number of reasons you don’t want to associate with professional. Effort, commitment, mentality or lacking. It’s not like these lot have not come back from adversity before this season. Arsenal, Saints, Brighton - they have it in them but at the moment, a goal goes in and bang. The way heads drop. The final goals v Everton and Brentford were so embarrassing. Pathetic.
 

Outside the PL. Levein, Merson, Holloway, Kelly etc. all crap. Two of them limited in funds, the other wasted a lot. However,  similar to this season, it feels we are on a downward slope and any come back would need a complete reason - enter Brian Little, Nigel Pearson. And that is what this club needs - a manager from top to bottom. Not as easy to find now.

Get promoted with a good manager and a likeable local academy graduate as a star player and talisman?

BOOM.

Manager gone

KDH gone

Ooh, rumours of Potter for manager?

It's Cooper

Time for a pre-season - lose every game

First half vs Spurs - don't even touch the ball.

Hey - nice - an equaliser - maybe things aren't so bad...

Sign Skipp

Sign Ayew

Lose to Fulham

Lose to Villa

Ricardo finally starting vs Forest

Lose to Forest

Ricardo's injured

Fail to score past a League 2 team

Wait weeks into the season to actually win a game

Win 2 in a row - Abdul on fire!

Abdul's ACL while away with Ghana

Lose twice to Man United in a week

Lose to Chelsea with KDH brought on for 5 minutes at the end like he's a prize you missed out on in an episode of Bullseye

Cooper finally sacked!

Fail to get a manager in for Brentford away, waste a game and get smashed to bits

Actually win a game vs West Ham!

Now Ndidi is injured

Nice comeback vs Brighton

Now Hermansen is injured

Ward in goal

Lose to Newcastle

Lose to Wolves

Finally binned Ward off

Keep Losing

January finally here, chance to strengthen

No signings

FA Cup - actually winning a game - scoring 6 goals!

Nope - fog - you'll only see 3 of them

Lose to Palace

Lose to Fulham

Cannon sold, maybe we can afford to strengthen...

No signings

Alves loaned out

Keep losing

2 nil down by the time the radio stream has loaded vs Everton

keep losing

FA Cup, exciting youngster on the bench, actually taking the lead!

Lose to 6 offside players, never get to see Monga play

Actually defend ok vs Arsenal for 80 minutes...

Lose anyway

Immediately lose the ability to defend again vs Brentford. Thrashed again.

 

What a miserable, miserable season. Nothing to enjoy, nothing to look forward to, any tiny glimour of hope (Fatawu, new manager bounce, January window) stomped out before your very eyes befor you even get the chance to raise your spirits even a little.

You know if they do sack Ruud, there's no chance that the replacement would be up to it either, because the Director of Eff-all and Top will be picking the replacement, and they've failed the last 2 times they've tried that this season. Even next season is nothing to look forward to - the PSR problems hang about permanently to disrupt us, anyone good will be sold to try to fill the black hole money pit that Rudkin and Glover have dug even deeper with the likes of Skipp, Okoli and Ayew.

And even if next year, we get a new top manager in by fluke, and we rebuild something good and worthwhile, like Enzo did - it only takes one summer of Rudkin and a managerial change and all that hard work can be dismantled in an instant.

Right now, the best word to describe this club is hopeless - because there is absolute nothing to give you any hope for its future for the upcoming years ahead.

Agree. We haven't deserved a single one of our wins this season. Not sure any of the draws either? I'd guess we should really be on 2-3 points

I don’t have a great memory for eras, but remember sitting there freezing my ass off on many occasion thinking what am I doing here, those players don’t care.

It was actually so long it triggered some Foxestalk logic that meant it needed a moderator to approve it before it was posted That's just how bad a season its been, can't even fit it in a regular post.

[Simonb]

This is worse than I can remember.. albeit I've only followed since around 1993. The 2002 and 2004 sides had more fight about them.. the side that dropped to league one was appalling.. but this is awful because we have all seen this year's off.. yet the club don't seem to have a clue. 

 

Full of overpaid shite that couldn't care less about success as long they're getting paid.

I wondered why I feel I’ve aged ten years in a year. You’ve saved me a therapist, it all starts to make sense. That much trauma and a bank statement for tickets, trains and cuddly Filberts that tells me we actually pay for the “privilege” of this assault on our emotions. 
But at least we’re never boring! 

[Chico1958]

I've supported the Club since 1969.

 

I've seen some poor seasons but this season really is making me miserable.

 

Ps; I fear next season will be worse whatever division we're in.

[TeamRocket]

I would put this season up there with Peter Taylor days

Unfortunately I think you're right.

 

This is a total mess. Taylor didn't have a clue and ruud is the same..

Let's not even got started behind the scenes as this is far worse than back then.

Makes signing Dennise wise a brilliant move compared to watching Ayew,Reid,lampost, skipp

My first game was 2002, appreciate many have been going far longer than me but it’s the most disconnected I’ve ever felt. Brentford game I just felt nothing really. Same old same old.

The first goal v Everton was embarrassing as well. It came after a win in the previous game so you think we may have turned a corner, and then no one challenges for the ball or even mores towards the ball in the first 10 seconds including on the edge of our own box. And any hope vanishes. It truly has been laughably bad at times, and that’s why our own fans were laughing last night. Shambles.

And that is what this club needs - a manager from top to bottom. Not as easy to find now. 

The Bassett side was bad, but not rotten through-and-through. It had Walker, Elliott, Sinclair, Impey, Izzet, Savage, Dickov, Piper. Some of them were ageing a bit, and I wasn't convinced the squad would do as well as it did after relegation, but I think it actually benefited from us having to offload some of the dross - Akinbiyi, Laursen, Wise, Cresswell, Marshall all left and we tightened up a year later. Bassett came close once or twice to turning a corner - I remember us losing to West Ham in a tight game where we'd have got out of the drop zone with a win. They were definitely better than this lot by a margin. They arguably underachieved that season and kept throwing points away. Lacked 'moral fibre', was how I think the manager kept putting it.

 

The Adams team a couple of years later was a bit cobbled together and bargain basement, but it was usually competitive.

 

The Little/McGhee side was poorer, but had a lot of players who'd play a part when we stayed up in 96/97: Grayson, Whitlow, Walsh, Parker were all in that team. Heskey made his debut that year. Joachim and Draper were there too.

 

So yes, this is the worst top flight side I've known. I've heard a few people who go back a way further than me say that it'd give the McLintock side a run for its money, and of course the remnants of that side ended up 17th after it went down. At least they had Wallington, Weller, Sammels, Rofe, Whitworth, even Worthington early in the season. All guys who'd excelled in the not-so-distant past. Too many of our current side - Faes, Okoli, Vestergard, Kristiansen, Soumare, Mavididi, Daka etc. - will never be up to it, and never have been.

 

It's hard to compare it with our second tier sides, but I suspect it's inferior to many of the better ones, regardless of what it looks like on paper. As for the rubbish ones, the Pleat era side actually had some better players than we've got now (Walsh, Mills, McAllister, Newell, Osman, Campbell, Wright all featured at varying points in time). The sell-to-buy policy crippled it. The post-Adams period was perhaps the lowest for me, though the side that went down in 2008 had a better defence than this one.

[SemperEadem]

This is the worst.

 

Mates getting spat on, other Leicester fans going absolutely nuts at each other, stewards watching inwards.

[Pliskin]

I’ve been going since 1997.

 

This is comfortably the worst version of Leicester City I’ve ever seen, the lack of commitment and care from both those who run the club and those who play for the club is worse than I’ve ever seen. From betting companies on shirts, to complete silence and secrecy from above…. This isn’t Leicester City anymore….. this is a failing part of the King Power corporation. 

[hejammy]

There can't be many Leicester fans that can say this year they have not been miserable after most of our games, a lot will say it ruins their weekend/week and puts them in a bad mood. 

 

I wonder, the players, Ruud, Rudkin, Susan and Top, does it ruin their weekend? Do they really give a crap? Top will be out playing Polo, Rudkin will be up his arse. The players will be thinking about what new toy to buy with their millions, Ruud will be thinking about how he leaves us. 

 

So really all of them couldn't give 2 shites, so why should we? It's because this club is in our blood, it's for life, not a job. Without the fans the clubs are nothing and they need to be reminded of this! 

[Spudulike]

Statistically, this the worst sequence of defeats by any club ever in the top tier. None of us have seen anything as bad before. 

[HighPeakFox]

I sympathise with every word.

 

One kindly reminder - you do not have to turn up, you do not have to let it affect you. Nothing would tell the club more than if you were to turn your back on them until they start putting things right.

Not turning up is an empty gesture if you're a season ticket holder. They already have our money and an empty seat won't be noticed.
