The question is should the club be sold, not should the club be put up for sale. The question implies the buyer could be anyone. 

You're overthinking it. It's a general statement about whether the current owners need to leave. In order for the club to be sold, it needs to be put up for sale so that's kind of a given.

 

If you vote yes to this, it does not mean that you are saying they should sell it to anyone that has an interest. That's pure supposition on your part. Would you like there to be answer that is 'yes but only to really nice and wonderful new owners please'? How could you ever quantify it at this stage.

 

If you don't want KP to sell then it's irrelevant who the prospective buyer is. But by wanting KP to sell the club, you can still want a different profile on owner from another supporter. That doesn't invalidate your opinion that KP should sell.

It's been so obvious for so long where the current ownership is taking us yet a large portion of our support are either too thick to realise it, or too brainwashed to accept it.

 

The good times are gone. It's just about salvaging it so we don't end up like Reading or Wigan.

The owner has run his company into the ground and created an unimaginable mess at the football club, all while he has better things to do. 
 

Keep waiting and it may be too late to save either. 

 

He’s shown time and time again that he is not interested in what matters when it comes to managing the club, only that he has people in executive positions who cater to his whims

 

 

People who are not interested don't keep investing in the club, he keeps investing quite consistently. He has made many mistakes in the running or how that investment is made but the accusation that he isn't interested is hugely flawed. 

 

We need to bring in new people to manage the club on a day to day basis that know about the footballing side, we need a shake up at board level I am not disagreeing with this. 

 

However, whilst you have an owner that is still willing to heavily invest in the club why would you risk new owners that could be glazers, Tans, chansiris or Ashley's who see the club as nothing but asset stripping operations

I dont have the same vitriol as others towards Top but if we are to believe the story that Top convinced his dad to buy Leicester because a Top liked them in the late 90s, then Top should see that as a fan of the club the best thing to do is to sell.

Top must take his fair share of the state we found ourselves in .... however bad advice comes cheap and plentiful ... his next move should be to clear the decks of hangers on.... yes Rudkin,  Whelan to name but 2 ... there are others .... and find football people who are also fans of football to take the club forward with good sound advice and a definitive plan

Pretty shit job then.

 

What can he actually take credit for, the games where the stadium wasn't full because fans needed memberships? a Pukka Pie deal? or all those revenue streams we have such as that one Kasabian show that one time... No wait he wasn't even here, or the stadium expansion with the venue and hotels which definitely was him.... sponsors? Oh the stadium is named after the owners and stands have no sponsors. Oh I've got one, """"Lite Finance"""". 

 

He was in a role directly related to a very very dodgy deal, I'm not surprised he's jumped ship as he's massively in the firing line if and when that goes tits up.

Agree with that, but at Leicester it’s very comfortable because nobody ever gets sacked - there’s no need to stick your head above the parapet to do something useful.

 

The owner doesn’t hold the board’s feet to the fire and neither does the chief exec with the senior management.

 

The BC game deal will be Top’s connections - I severely doubt Dan Barnett is tapping them up with his skiing and sailing marketing background.
