Inside shambles at Leicester City – where a defender brought his dog to training

Yeah, turns out it was. He did turn down Fulham separately though, but that was apparently because he felt Leicester was the better "sporting option".

In other words, Top stuck an extra digit on his pay

I really hope some, if not all these twats leave our club. No manager can work these entitled wank@rs, as well the current board!

I don’t want us get relegated, but I know we will, but I am willing to accept the obvious relegation, if and it’s a big if, have a complete reset, starting with getting proper DoF and recruitment team. I want to give RVN a chance, he’s a winner and he know what it takes to be successful and it must be killing him to see the lack of application and the general attitude of the players. I am not saying RVN is prefect, but I won’t judge him with the shower of shit he’s surrounded with.

Didn’t Vestergaard turn down a move to Fulham a couple of years ago go because he didn’t want to move his kids out of school? Doesn’t add up if he lives in London.

This actually shows what a good job Enzo did in coming into such a broken club and resetting the mentality and instilling structure, discipline and professionalism. 
 

Yes surprise surprise there were rumblings near the end of the season but he seemed to keep the players on his side in the main, which given how our club operates is no mean achievement. 
 

Moving forward that has to be the blue print, not necessarily the style we play football but the discipline and professionalism of the club, therefore Top and Rudders need to be identifying managers who carry those attributes and qualities and that is our managerial recruitment strategy moving forward, the style of play is consistent but not rigid, but most important is that the manager and his staff are given autonomy to instill elite level of discipline and standards and are backed 1000% by the owner and DoF.

I’m not sure he lives in London.

 

I saw him standing on a street corner in Hugglescote, I’d assumed he was waiting for Iversen about 18 months ago! 
 

Also, I never thought we’d have to deal with dog poo on the pitches at Seagrave.

You clearly haven’t watched the first team train lately! Amirite lads?!

Every day I look in here thinking my feelings for the club could not get any less.

 

 

BINGO they can. Tbh right now if they folded the club I would not care. Admin didn't feel this bad. Relegation to Div 1 didn't. The Pleat years were a pleasure in comparison. Ffs Taylor took us top for 1 game.

 

Personally I don't think you could do more to destroy a club even if it was on purpose.

 

Someone please set fire to Seagrave and the KP.

It feels worse because where we have come from, but it's a period, and hopefully it will pass. These articles do us a favour because just maybe the club will get the message.

I'm sure they have knowledge of most of what is said on here ... even to the point that the club have some of their own accounts..... but facts are they only feel financial pain ... not the pain  being a supporter and watching this total shambles 

[LCFCJohn]

It might make me naive but regardless of the fact the players might be from a more entitled generation and be paid a lot, it still surprises me that they can have so little self respect and pride to not be bothered about their reputations if nothing else.

 

I suppose that although certain fans have known about these issues for a while, the wider football media and even many of our own supporters are only just waking up to it. Maybe the players as well as Top and Rudkin will be finding their positions of being comfortable and not accountable to anyone more under scrutiny now.

You’re right. Given the state of our comms I’d assume Anthony Herlihy is @hburton18090. @Hburton198099 @hburton19876540 @hburton2022 @hburton2025 @Hburton299 etc etc etc…

The player power culture at the club is too strong and I think probably spearheaded by Vardy. When we have such a supine owner and DoF almost any manager is undermined by players that won’t do the bare minimum.

Come on people there's more to life than football. Go outside get birdwatching. 

It's not about the dog though and you know it.

 

It's about the consistent behaviour of our players taking the piss because they know they can, because the culture set by the owner is soft as ****.

[The Horse's Mouth]

When cooper was sacked and I defended him people told me this was a top half team it’s absolutely hilarious looking back

When one of the coaches has to apologise to the players (who have lost 11 out of 12) for having a go at them for not listening to instructions says it all. 

Even bigger joke than the dog thing for me. What a joke that is. These players are a disgrace.

The days of players having a direct line to the owners needs to stop. There's no evidence it was Vardy telling Top to get rid of Cooper but it was one of them and he's most likely

Couple of questions about the dogs welfare .... was it given food and water ... did somebody take it for a walk .. or did the poor thing have to sit and watch .. in which case if it did then someone needs reporting for cruelty... no dog should have to watch that shower of sh1t

We're all with you, Winston. It's about him/them, not you.

Don’t really want to defend our current and intermediate previous managers

 

But a working environment where they get told they have to go through Rudkin on everything but players are allowed to go direct to Top is never going to work

He lives M25 ish north London - so not quite as bad as it sounds tbh

Yep there is a chain of command in all businesses and it doesn't set the right culture if people have direct communication with people way further up the chain of command. Problem is, Top will never accept he's wrong or accept any responsibility so things won't change unless he sells up. Fans need to start boycotting games but unfortunately not enough people will.

It’s Monday morning and the squad is being put through its paces at Seagrave…
