Your Choice to Protest

[Free Falling Foxes]

I've said it before, a good rousing chorus of ' What a load of rubbish'

How about a 'walk out on 3' policy - eg if we ever go 3 goals down then we just get up and walk out. There is no realistic way back from 3 down for this team (even 2!), it shows that it's not just a lack of support. The mass walkout would be a powerful statement.

It wouldn't be powerful at all, it would be people leaving the ground because that particular game isn't going well.

Yeah, that was noticeable yesterday...a few posters gleefully saying that they'd put their seat up for resale..

 

Nooooo!!! 

 

Empty chair them.

It's easy to say if you can afford to go without the money. You shouldn't lambast people for getting their money back from the club.

[AKCJ]

The best way to protest is to make yourself heard at the King Power.

 

Support the players but also make noise against Aiyawatt, John and Susan.

A walk-in on something like 14 minutes - stay in the concourses until then. 

 

I'd rather show my support for the lads still but it would make a noticeable difference if we're not there from the start.

Nice one. Get in touch with @ProjectReset ! No one will take any ideas and run with them solely from here. They have the momentum I believe. I was just posting some easier wins that have been discussed on here from the summer until now.

Still people have this weird belief that things were so much rosier with Vichai in charge, just remember who put Whelan and Rudkin in position, and look back to the Sven era. Nothing has changed. Just a clueless bunch, winging it in a competitive  market they have no clue how to operate in.

I have this weird belief that a man that created a multi billion pound company might be a bit better than Nepo baby.

I'm sure every business man makes mistakes but I can't see how Vichai would've let it get to this point. 

I guess we'll never know 🤷

He setup up a business in a monopoly based on bribes, he had no clue, he created the Nepo baby also. They've always been shit, just got lucky with a few appointments. Most of the structure was Pearson's. They'd have never won shit if it weren't for Nige in my opinion.  Maybe they aren't bad people but that doesnt create a culture of success, being mates with the players only works if the players arent *****. Currently e seem to have quite a few who are.

I posted yesterday that the fans who still go to away games (I don´t) could boycott them once we´re down. The club doesn´t lose any money and there´s nothing at stake (except perhaps 1.5 million per place in the PL). If anyone wants to spend 50 quid so they can get laughed at for 2 hours by the Forest fans that´s up to them.

I think this is the crux of it. I think Maresca liked Top and Rudkin on a personal level because the club put a lot of energy into making it feel like a 'family'.

Kasper said similar on the Overlap last week about Vichai not being particularly bothered about winning, as long as everyone tried and as long as everyone was having a good time. He would genuinely care about the players, staff and their families and look after them to a level none of them have probably ever experienced before. I think Top is probably the same.

 

However there is an argument that culture a like that doesn't really work without the type of characters that Pearson rebuilt this club with. It can create a cosy environment with a lack of accountability. Here's a trip to Thailand, here's a new contract, here's a new Training Ground Spa etc.

Also, no one is doubting that Top doesn't look after the Manager, players etc. Our issue is that he's not showing the same level of care towards the fans, nor is he showing a ruthlessness toward success. It feels like internal relationships are more important to this board than operating a football club that is innovative, ambitious, successful and has a strong connection to it's fanbase.

Less Vichai, but Top is concerned with looking after players by paying them too much. This has created a culture of not having to excel to get a big pay day. It’s why we signed all these chumps on big wages. It works to a point, but to stop the coziness setting in you need the right characters to go with it. The people that get a good contract but still want to improve and progress, and not just basically laugh at us all when they sign a ridiculously generous contract.
 

We haven’t signed the right characters (apart from the odd exception like Hermansen) for a long time. And even some of the ones we do sign that have decent character are poor footballers - like Kristiansen.

 

All over the pitch the regression in quality, standards and character is there for all to see.

See I think he does.

 

Maresca is never one to shy away from the truth.

After the win on Sunday, the Chelsea boss dropped hinted that he will try and sign Hermansen again in the summer after being impressed by his performance.

But once attention turned to the off-pitch issues at Leicester, the former Foxes manager was quick to defend the under-fire Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and Rudkin.
He said: “I met the best people in my life in terms of football in Leicester. The owner and sporting director.

“I hope for Leicester that they’re going to be a Premier League club [next season].

“I’m surprised but it’s not my job, I’m not there so I don’t know. My focus is on Chelsea but I hope they can be a Premier League club. The people there are good people, they care about the club, your family and it’s difficult to find these people in football.”

 

 

I think it's more a question of taking their eye off the ball and thinking 'they'd made it and were a safe member of the PL' hence their continual voting along with 'the 6' add in a degree of. incompetence 

I think the things Meresca said about the club were  for the cameras

Vardys replacement? 

[The Year Of The Fox]

It’s either staying away en masse or a mass walkout- both get people moaning about losing £40 🙄

 

Or a mass sit in

 

But that involves staying beyond FT which is more painful than losing £40

It blows my mind that people buy stuff from the retail store, even when we're doing well. Pure tat. 

I could understand it if it was cheap enough but it's £11 for a bag of King Power coffee. £120 for a coat. Take the club badge off it and Adidas are selling it for half the money. The prices for a family orientated club are insane but completely in keeping with a business that doesn't like general sales, likes charging for signing sessions and thinks £25 for a piece of plastic that costs 47p to make is reasonable.

Whoops, accidently opened the Tuesday Tat email......this is no mock up, they are trolling us now, taking the P

 

This weeks selection:-

 

 

A doormat - Which we've become to every other team in the league

A Towel - Which we throw in early in every game, most weeks at the point of writing the team sheet

The Badge - I said we've been de-valuing it, well here's the proof, reduced to less than half price

And to top (no pun intended) it off - An empty Wallet !!!

 

You couldn't make it up!

READ THE ROOM YOU CRETINS!!!

I have seen this in other leagues and the mass walk out is quite effective. It would certainly draw media attention and the club would notice. I honestly think the best way for the club to manage this would be for some honesty and openess at the end of the season.

I think a late turn up would be better and less of a sacrifice for us. Just wait in the concourse for the first 15 minutes.

And miss some of the ‘match day experience’?

We're way past that, the players know they are rubbish and we know that the issues at the club runs way deeper than the players. It's the board and owner that we need to target through the ways the op has said.

For me it should be a message that they've had money and wasted it but "You've wasted all the money" is harsh on El Khanouss and Fatawu, maybe "You (something-ed) up the money"  

The clubs narrative will be "We had our hands tied, FFP, no wiggle room, tried this, tried that" etc but go back to July, don't sign Skipp, don't take on Eduauard, don't sign Okoli and Golding and funnel that outlay into a couple of players who affect the game every match day week in week out and that's a start, a sticking plaster but a start. We could have done better with what we had, much better. 

 

The broader picture of why we have ffp concerns in the first place, the accountability, the culture etc is the main point but I don't want the media or wider public to just believe the clubs hard luck story about this season. The truth is we couldn't take on a vibrant young enthusiastic talent from a top club on loan in January because we've got a guy from Crystal Palace putting out the cones at the training ground and watching from the stands on matchdays, with no return clause,  instead.

I'm honestly so glad to see this realisation starting to spread through the fanbase. 

 

Not to get all "told you so" but a small cadre of fans realised this from early doors and took pelters for ever pointing it out.
