Just remember where we were when King Power bought the club and the good times we've had since. Not that I'm defending some of the awful decision making since we won the league but King Power took a skint club for whom the Prem was a dream and gave us some of the best seasons our club has ever had.

We came 5th the season before they took over.

Having spent the previous season in League 1 the lowest the club had ever been in the football pyramid. Hardly roaring success.

We were on an upwards trajectory regardless with Pearson in charge. KP set us back by getting rid of Pearson and chucking big money around before they learnt their mistake and went back to him.

 

Not complaining as everything happens for a reason. Even if we had gone up the season before we did (Watford defeat), the perfect storm of circumstances that aligned for the title win are different. We may have yo-yo’d and never had the seasons in Europe or the FA cup. Everything that happened set the path for what followed.

 

But, there seems to be this narrative about when KP bought us. It seems some people have even convinced themselves we were actually in League 1, hey, I’ve seen people that think KP saved us from administration! They are only about 8/9 years out with their timeframes! 
 

But it’s disingenuous to give KP all the credit for what was achieved. Actually, seeing how the club has fallen apart shows Aiyawatt doesn’t have a clue. Vichai was much much better but there were still mistakes and bad decisions.

They are hardly the first owners to find that managing a football club is very different to managing their other business.  Vichai was though a lucky man, and I tend to think you make your own luck.  Top has not made his own luck.

Forest will now have to sell MGW before next June 30th

That looks like it’s exactly the plan, with the contract extension only one year.  Forest have been talking to City about McAtee and Lewis obviously, and a lot of us think MGW to City next summer might be part of the conversation.

Pearson left before KP took over. Mandaric wanted to lighten the wage bill (Pearson was expensive) and have the squad playing prettier football to try and get a better deal for the club/get the deal over the line. KP took a while to learn English football but still delivered some of the best times to be a Leicester fan.

 

Top doesn't seem to have the same ability his dad had that's for certain, maybe he'll still come good but there's a big financial mess to clear up first.

Meanwhile, as our own house burns around our ears, Notts Forest sign Douglas Luiz to replace their only real 'problem child' Sangare, to complete a quite outstanding starting 11 ☹️🙄

I am envious of their current state but you only have to look at our title winning team, to where we are now, to see how fast things change.

 

I know a lot of ours comes down to bad decisions within, but im not sold on Forests ownership either.

 

I think they'll come crashing down heavy sooner rather than later.

 

Atleast we had some trophies to show for our good period, not just a fraudulent spot in the Europa League.

Just clocked the Matt Turner Forest to Lyon transfer as well as the numerous dealings between the two clubs and Botafogo. 
 

Blatant fiddling happening in front of our eyes just going unanswered.
