Harry Winks (gone to Cagliari, official)

[Reg Vardy]

We were famous for the Richter scale,  now for regularly booing the team off….as a group of fans, that can see what’s happening in front of us, on here we always see the negative….The board, Rudkin, three managers (soon to be four) the players, The training ground all are clueless in the eyes of many on here……simply because the players are well paid,doesn’t mean you win every game……

No it doesn’t, but it does mean that you owe your paymasters their pound of flesh for that salary! Supporters can accept losing if they can see that it’s because of lack of talent or far superior opposition, what they can’t accept is when players don’t appear to be giving of their best.

Whether it’s right or it’s wrong to do so, Leicester fans are now seeing the ‘consequence’ of fans booing their own players. First Faes and now Winks.. even if it feels right at the time, the effects of it are felt further down the line…

When was Winks booed? Just the fixture is fine.

The club is toxic from board to the stands. It can't be a nice environment to be in

The club is ran like a Sunday league outfit. There's people within the club who wouldn't be surprised if we're in another relegation battle.

That applies to most clubs, the difference is their fans, in the main, support the club.

Don`t believe boo'ing can ever be targeted unless the target is named explicitly within the booing, even then it still demoralises the wider group as they are team mates.

 

And I am not saying its not warranted for one second, just that the effect is inescapable despite how we would like to it is focused.

Faes was booed at Bournemouth away last season. Explicitly. When he had the ball the away end booed and then when he passed it, the booing stopped.

 

But I can't think of the same happening to Winks, but maybe @MPH can enlighten me. 

[Chelmofox]

When Winks was subbed on Sunday at half time there was a big cheer from the crowd.

[Tielemans63]

I can't see another club paying him £90k a week. He's going to have take a reasonable pay-cut if he does leave, I think. I'm not sure any of the clubs mentioned originally will be offering to match his wages here.

I think some people underestimate the impact that booing a particular player has on the rest of the team. He’s their teammate and, for many of them, a friend. There is no way that booing a player is going to improve the morale of the squad, especially when that player is just about to take the field as a sub. And when that happens in the first game of a new season when a fresh start would usually be expected , it’s only going to create a division between the team and the fans. Which is not what we want at all.

His level is the championship. 
Another one of those players who’s prob too good for the championship but not good enough for the premiership. 
I hope he stays but his reaction after scoring doesn’t give me much confidence he will.

We don’t need to create a division between the team and the fans, it’s been there for some time and a so called fresh start under a new manager was never going to change that.We have watched the same players under perform for so long.How many fresh starts do they need?

Well Harry had match days to himself towards the back end of last season… so maybe he spent some of that time following the games on here?

Never said he did.

 

Wasn't the point I was making.

You’re not making much of a point, though. Everyone knows how good he can be and is. And we all knew how much of a loss he was— hell, we even got a preview of it during his last season with us. 
 

Winks will be a big loss too. Some players just want to be somewhere else and there’s nothing wrong with fans wanting them gone, even if we can’t replace the quality of their best moments.

Not aware he actually said that or his agent, do you have a source?

 

Seem to be more of a mob mentally based on an one sided view on an arguement given by RVN.

He wasn’t booed in his first season, as for being not motivated he has done more than anyone else in 2 games 

And despite that he was still booed by so-called fans.

[aklaxon]

I think the reasoning behind the booing is simple:

Play like you don't care, have a sulk on and give up = Boo

 

Run around, get stuck in, play with passion = No boo

 

It's not difficult, if the players don't want to be booed, they should try harder and look like they care.

And when they score a well taken goal, having already contributed more than the player they replaced....what then?

It will take more than one goal, and a few minutes of a good performance against a minnow to change the minds of many Leicester fans.

That’s what’s being suggested on the thread, I didn’t pin that on Winks. But that is the case, then so be it. 
 

Also “some players” doesn’t mean “Harry Billy Winks, born on the 2nd of February, 1996.” 😜

Where on earth do you get the idea from that he's earning £90k?.
