didn't he literally hide in the background when Top was confronted by that fan from the foxes trust after the Hull game?

 

Why didn't he front up and face the music, he is head of communications after all (sorry, Director) 

Because he is a slimeball!

This lot having a laugh or what?

Tbf I think that's an EFL-wide mandated one, like the Jameson or Carabao ads

It was predominantly an opportunity for the club to meet the new board members and get to know each other, which had been in the diary for a while. However, on both sides, we see it as the start of a new and refreshed relationship.

To add more context here, we've published this short update on our website here:

 

For some time, the Foxes Trust has had concerns about the Club’s fan engagement. 

 

Our 2025 End of Season Survey highlighted this, with fewer than 8% of fans rating engagement as good, just 4% believing the Club acts on feedback through the Fan Engagement Framework (FEF), and 59% feeling the Club does not engage well with supporter groups.

 

We shared these findings with the Club in July 2025 and called for a review of fan engagement. While continuing to support the FEF this season, we have monitored progress and fan reaction to the minutes of FEF sessions. 

A follow-up survey in early 2026 showed continued concern: 86% felt engagement was ineffective, 80% said the Fan Advisory Board is not working, and 78% did not feel like engaged supporters. Although awareness of the FEF was relatively high (65%), 80% were unaware of any changes resulting from it.

 

Supporters consistently indicated that the Club should engage directly with representative groups such as the Foxes Trust and others. 

 

There has been a big change in the make-up of the Trust board in the past couple of years. Following three new board members in 2025 and four new board members in early 2026, to support more direct dialogue with the relevant stakeholders at the Club in the areas the Trust is working on, we wanted to ensure that there were broader connections with them across our entire board, rather than just a couple of board members speaking directly.

 

A meeting was arranged for Monday 27^th April (several weeks ago and with a pre-agreed agenda) to discuss changes at the Trust and the results of our Fan Engagement Survey. This was prior to the Club’s relegation to League One and therefore not an opportunity for us to raise concerns about the Club’s performance in other areas.

 

What was agreed during our meeting was that we will meet with the Club again later in May to share the results of our End of Season Survey (for those that haven’t taken it yet, you can do so here). Alongside the Fan Advisory Board and FCC sessions coming up, this will be our opportunity to raise concerns as well as to ask for action on key issues based upon what the results of the survey tell us. 

 

If there are questions or concerns that supporters feel should be raised with the Club, they have the opportunity to do so via our End of Season Survey (or directly to [email protected]) and this is why we are asking all supporters to participate, so that we get as strong and representative a sample as possible.

 

The Club was open to the feedback we shared regarding the Fan Engagement Framework, and we explained, as cited in our statement regarding relegation here, that it is our belief that if the Club had acted upon feedback shared by supporters and supporter groups, it would not find itself in the position that it currently is. This needs to change. 

 

This was the first time in recent years the Club has met with the Trust board as a collective, and we felt the meeting marked an opportunity to start a productive new partnership with new expectations.

 

As always, the proof will be in what happens next. We’ll be following up in writing with proposed changes to how the Club acts upon supporter feedback and engages directly with supporter groups. We’ll then monitor over the coming months how the effectiveness of fan engagement changes with our feedback.

Some conversations must be going on many staff on Saturday told us they do not expect to have jobs going forward.

It’s a great shame people will lose their jobs mainly because of one man’s incompetence

I'm afraid non playing staff won't have relegation clauses in their employment contracts 

 

Also afraid wages have probably gone up!

Personally knew someone at Bournemouth that took a pay cut when they last got relegated. So our people might as well.

[JimJams]

Can't cut minimum wage! 

 

 

I'm aware you actually can.

True.

 

However, the problem at our club is that non-playing staff also do not pay for themselves being crap.
