No wonder we've ended up in such a mess, they started off an embarrassment, and still are to this day.

 

They've been investigated for corruption, we've paid out for breaking FFP previously, now it's a yearly occurrence.

 

Remember Trestellar? 

 

King Power Out.

Without that great escape can you imagine how ****ed we'd have been? Everyone talking about the gamble paying off. 

 

Imagine dropping back down to the Championship with the wage bill and money we'd spent on Beckford, Mills and the rest. 

 

Doesn't bare thinking about. Thank god for Nigel Pearson.

Interesting, I genuinely think the opposite. 

 

I know other fans aren't our main audience with this banner, but I'd wager less than 10% of football fans in this country know who "Top" is, especially in the play on words context here.

 

Yet majority will know who King Power are. With "King Power Out", the message is incredibly clear, shows how disillusioned the fans (that are behind the banner) are with the Club/ownership and will provoke discussion.

 

 

Agreed I work with a Geordie a Newcastle Fan and a Wolves fan, I asked them if they knew our owners name, they knew King Power, and our managers from way back, but not Top or Rudkin, everyone outside of the Foxes bubble likely wouldnt, but they all know King Power, whilst understanding some don't agree with the message for their reasons which i respect.

Who was doing our bidding, Trigger?

[Heskey2011]

 

Anything positive that's happened in last 15 years you could say King Power paid for that.

 

Everything negative you can attribute to KingPower hiring someone that wasn't competent.

 

Danny Ward is King Powers fault

Riyad Mahrez is King Powers fault.

 

Bidding against ourselves for MattMills

Paying one mil for non league Vardy.

 

After seeing the plane, the question everyone outside of Leicester will ask is why? We'll be saying badly run club, relegated again, crap players, annoying free stuff on chairman's birthday, foxest trust isn't doing stuff etc the media will point to the trophies won under this ownership compared to the other 43 clubs in the Prem and Championship.  Talk sport will have something to talk about but i doubt it'll be the narrative we want.

 

Accountability and Transparency is all I want, not that much really, if Top said we're hiring a new director of football to gut the club, they'll be hiring new Scouting, Fitness, tactical analysis teams, and they'll be performance reviewed every few months I'd be happy. 

Just want our glaringly obvious problems identified and addressed, regularly.

 

King Power Out feels like twitter out doingness.  No one would buy us in the current state so there's no way at all King Power will sell, so what's the point?

We can't make them sell the club.

 

*Personally i refer to our ownership as King Power mainly because Srivaddhanaprabha family is a quite hard to pronounce and spell.

We'll be a laughing stock.  

Guaranteed all other teams fans will think we're sad losers who can't appreciate what we've had.  The media will home in on the apparent ingratitude of a fanbase who are turning on the owners, at the very ground where Vichai died.  The focus will be totally shifted away from the inadequacies of management, and comparisons will be drawn with the days when flowers were laid outside the stadium.  And the people at the top will just roll their eyes and think the fans don't know what they're talking about. 

The original message was clear, intelligent, and prompted debate and thought.

King Power Out just makes us sound petulant. 

This obsession with what other fans think is partly what's got us into this mess. Fundamental weakness.

Just catching up with all this banner stuff and I think that @Qwerty is right. 'King Power Out' is just not clever enough and will provoke a similar reaction to when Claudio was sacked x10. 

 

'Top ambitions; Wrong decisions', is the way to go. 

Where we're right and are proven to be right in time and everyone who had a go is wrong? I'm sold.

[Dan]

Premier Ambitions / Top Ambitions etc... - no. This is subconsciously giving way too much credit to Aiyawatt and this board. This isn't high ambition and bad decisions. This lot really don't deserve to be given the credit of high ambition.

 

I could tolerate rotten from top to bottom even if it is a slight stand down (which always worries me). That's a full dig while not quite as brash as King Power Out - something I'd still support by the way.

Yeah, not a great argument.

 

I don't think anyone was glad that we sacked Ranieri in the sense that we all loved him but it was the right decision. You never get the good press for those decisions when it turns out to be a good one but you get the bad press from those who don't see the full picture.

 

I'm pretty sure we got some stick for sacking that goblin from NI but that was the most united I think I have ever seen FT on a manager related decision - and we've been through our fair share.

[Buzzard]

I disagree with the KP out banner - as others have said, the response will simply be "you ungrateful b*stards, you've had a premier league and FA cup".

 

Premier ambitions much more relevant and meaningful

I was pretty buzzing to be fair, the guy was quickly tearing apart all the good work Pearson, Walsh and Shakey had done.

You can understand why 99% of non-Leicester think we should be eternally grateful for 2016/2021 and not kick up a fuss about the long decline since. It heightens the fairytale even more if we slip into total EFL anonymity for the next two decades.

 

But for so many of our own fans to care what anyone else thinks is ridiculous.

I was glad - very glad and relieved. Sure it was tinged with sadness, but I was very pleased overall.

[sharpylcfc]

Premier ambitions Relegation decisions wouldn't of been a bad shout. Fully support King Power out though.

Like that one as well, but like you, support the KP out as well.

[lfu]

"KPFC: rotten from top to bottom" would fit on the banner as a compromise tbf

Fair fuchs to ozvaldo for organising it either way though

Where was the Premier ambitions when we hired a novice manager and gave him £2m to spend

in the transfer window.

I probably could've phrased it better but that was what I was getting at really. Plenty thought it was the right call but from a human angle it was different to any other sacking.

[Vestan Pance]

If we knew the alternative and King Power were hanging around then "king power out" would be appropriate. But considering the are no likely takers at this moment in time, then we can only put pressure on for changes to be made.

 

I'd go for one of the other suggestions.

If the fan base feels they need to put pressure on the ownership to make changes, then how are the ownership fit for the job?

 

I dont get the logic. I keep seeing this and it makes no sense.

 

Hes not purposefully doing bad, hes just bad at running a club. Keeping Top around will see us continue to slide back to the abyss.

 

Hes a step above the Oystons and Chansiri, but he's damaging the club and there's a queue of people that have this unfathomable blind faith that forcing him to sack Rudkin will all of a sudden reverse our fortunes.

We were proven right to sack Claudio but the club still carries the baggage. One of those instances that is used as a stick much like those ignoramus idiots that think they're being clever reviving the 2002 administration.

Not sure a lot of our fan base are tuned into Drake though

Some might want King Power OUT but don't necessarily think it makes for a good banner. Far too simplistic and won't provoke a conversation.

 

TOP ambitions? Wrong decisions.

That question mark vastly improves the message

[Nods]

Don't care what other fans think. I'm only bothered about effectiveness. 

 

1 - Plane flies over with 'King Power Out'

2 - Large proportion of fans boo it

3 - Top smiles, safe in the knowledge he has the support of most

4 - Nothing changes

 

It won't have the desired effect.
