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.

That won't happen, our fans couldn't even boycott MK Dons in a preseason friendly when they were asked to by Wimbledon supporters.

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. 

However he made his millions is pretty irrelevant. It's quite clear that Vichai was a very switched on bloke who was key in building the culture of success at the club.

 

No he wasn't the only one but that doesn't detract from what he did here.

 

Yes, it's fair to say that his son isn't up to the job but we don't have to rewrite history.

 

The vast majority of what has been good about Leicester in the last 15 years has been made possible because of Vichai.

for people who want to go to the game (for reference, i am a ST holder and wont be attending another game this season) if you must go, maybe a planned walked out at a given minute in the game

Who on here has the right to almost demand that fans don’t go to matches or to walk out at a certain time? Just because some supporters want to carry on supporting the TEAM until the bitter end, doesn’t mean that they don’t care about the club or that are lesser fans because they just want to just try and support the team in blue and white.. if you don’t want to go then don’t, if you do want to go then do so. I have no intention of boycotting a match just because someone on a forum says I should and implies that I don’t care for the club if I don’t.

Take your seat home with you. And other memorabilia. Strip the stadium down as much as possible. Eventually rebuild it in viccie park

I haven't seen anyone demanding? Merely a discussion and certain alternatives should you wish to choose to. That's the point of a forum, to discuss and sometimes let off a bit of steam.

He really wasnt. He is the exact same as his son.

 

Vichai got lucky with Pearson, its such a myth it was about the ownership. Top has literally done nothing different to his dad, first few years it worked with Rodgers then it went tits up. The further we got from Pearson's model, the worse the club has got, until now.

 

Lets remember, he brought in Sousa, for 'sexy football' then brought in Sven, wasted millions on people like Mills, Beckford etc its the same model as now clueless. 

 

He may have been a nice man, Top might be a nice man but they have no clue about running business in a competitive market and certainly no clue how to run a premier league football club.

This is a legit mental post. Its like those crazed threads in general chat forum where posters coalesce about how evil the tories/trump/insert popular culture item here is without any backing.

The bloke won the premier league, he at the very least had a clue about how to run a premier league football club.

Ofc the KP ownership will eventually be remembered for its glorious failure but wow this is almost demented.

AT the very least Vichai was capable of admitting error and in the process returning back to Pearson for example. Equally he must have listened to someone on that as well. So unlike his son, he often learnt from mistakes and was willing to seek good advice.

We're now getting the same post from pro and Anti KPFC fans . The OWNERS as one are either crap or amazing. 

No difference between Vichai and Top. 

If you've ever worked for a business started and ran by a father then watch the son destroy it and lose your own livelyhood you start to notice how different people can be regardless of relationships.

It's a game of opinions... but IMO this is a big overreaction to a message containing a lot of truths. Really not sure why the OP triggered this reaction, which authentically reads as "legit mental"!

Why, because I don’t boo the players? It’s the hierarchy that needs the flack, the team needs all the support it can get. If you don’t see that then you’re not supporting the team and you are the problem if that translates to the pitch.

This is the point though isn't it? The hierarchy need the flack. What does that look like? Stopping spending money at the club and an empty stadium would certainly raise eyebrows. Top, Rudkin etc couldn't give a shit if we boo the players or make the stadium toxic, the only time they'll actually care is when the club has no money coming in from ticket sales, merch, food etc. And it would also be very embarrassing for them to have a half empty stadium. Doesn't really matter anyway though as too many people can't actually see the problem and blindly keep going thinking they are supporting the players when they are actually continuing to support our board/owner.

Cheers Jay- saved me a job this AM

 

I’d also add that the season has gone. No amount of ‘cheering them on’ will turn this around.
 

Other than to give Vardy a send off, there is literally no reason to bother going again until August

I’d say the players most certainly deserve some of the stick. They are compliant to standards dropping with disrespectful behaviour common at least twice a season.

I think it’s very unfair to say Vichai and Top are one and the same. 
 

There is no such thing as a perfect football club owner or owner of a business, full stop. Mistakes will happen, one should expect them. 
 

It’s how you deal with them. 
 

Vichai made mistakes, of course he did. He allowed Top freedom during the Sven era but stepped in to stop the idiot from creating more damage. He recognised the importance of stability and convinced Pearson back. Saw the ability of the man and allowed him to build. Yes, Pearson, shakey and Walsh played a huge role in the success but as a multi billionaire owner to recognise the importance of people and to go back after having some influence in their previous departure shows management at its best. 
 

When we lost an exceptional scout in Walsh, we replaced him with another exceptional scout in Macia. We corrected the 2016 transfer window disaster. He saw and made controversial decisions for the good of the club. The Ranieri sacking which was huge. He was ready to move Puel on and Rodgers was very much heavily rumoured before the crash. 
 

There was always a plan under Vichai - was it always executed well ? Of course not but there was always rectification, change of course, a strive to do better. 
 

The man  built careers. Whelan has shown she shouldn’t be anywhere near a CEO role. And despite the Foxes Trust board wanting to have sex with her, left alone in such a significant role, she’s proven herself to be incompetent. Rudkin was given a chance but chose not to develop and is now a complete liability. The man bought two football clubs and gave his moron son plenty of opportunities to develop into a competent executive - Top in his selfish and idiotic ways has quite clearly thrown back into his face. 
 

He was a football club owner, like many others determined to succeed - made mistakes, perhaps had an ego but shown the qualities of a highly successful entrepreneur. 
 

Top in comparison wants to be loved- see the stupid pre-match video. No drive, no ambition. No application. This is the idiot who sat across the table from Enzo and when asked what his plan was he answered: “to play like Man City”. He is a waste. Absolutely nothing of value. He wanted the easy route. And combined with two useless balls in Whelan and Rudkin who offer absolutely nothing, it’s a recipe for disaster. They’ve had futures handed to them but laziness, lack of application and stubbornness - all traits in people who believe they are owed a living means they’ve disrespected significantly the legacy a man who handed them a future. It’s very sad. 
 

He wasn’t perfect but the last 4 years don’t happen under Vichai. Not even close. Under Top, we haven’t even hit the lowest that he will take us yet.

I do agree he got lucky with Pearson after initially binning him after the take over. It was not a left field, out the box thinking, just returned to the guy who had set the club on the road to recovery.

 

Also the facts about Sousa, Sven and all the wasted money on Mills, Beckford, Danns etc is indisputable.

 

Also definitely a good bloke and did a lot for the city and community. The culture of the club was certainly better as well. 
 

I don’t think he was anywhere like as bad as Top though. As someone said further down, he was at least a stronger leader and knew when to make decisions. Owning a football club was new to him so that is why people are more understanding of the first couple of years and the decisions made as he learned from it and rectified it.

 

Top had years to learn from Vichai and seemingly learned nothing. Now it has all been falling apart, he had just put his head in the sand and doubled down and won’t make any kind of decision and has just let the rot set it.

 

I don’t think we’d have been in his position if Vichai was still around. I think he’d have done something.

 

However, I also think history is not so kind to him in that it is clearer as the dust settled that we were always very reliant on managers to build the club up and never had a strong structure in place at club level. The selling big only works for so long, especially if the recruitment goes to shit.
