This season could really end up being a monumental disaster. 
 

There’s no staying at this level to rebuild. It will end up being a financial disaster if we fail to go up, which looks incredibly likely. The board will likely forever be terrified to spend any money through fear of punishment, we will still be fighting to get useless players off our inflated wage bill, of which most will walk away for free, we will likely have to sell the likes of Monga for far, far less than we want for him to the likes of Palace because we will have no choice but to sell any young player worth anything. 
 

We will probably piss around starting the stadium expansion, and will end up being stuck at this level for the foreseeable with an empty extension, no saleable assets and the same arsholes running the club. 
 

The situation we’re in really is dire, and it’s entirely self inflicted by the willy pullers running this club.  
 

Nothing will change until the ownership changes. 

Brilliant piece and very true !! 
I want this lot gone ASAP so for me the more dire the situation the better ! 
The tide is turning slowly which reflects in the home attendances (their lying on those) but unfortunately that’s against the players and manager and not the ownership. 
 

5 years of sheer chaos at board level and still no uprising & protests from our fans by calling for KP out is astonishing really

To play devil's advocate - the role Ferguson held at United for so long was a huge burden on staff and they've said as such. 

 

It isn't as simple as saying 'club legend give him the keys' and it working out. I wouldn't want Walsh at the club and I idolise him alongside most other fans. 

 

I could see Schmeichel working well,  Morgan perhaps also. Simpson? I'm not so certain. Likewise one or two others who we hold in high esteem.  

I'm not suggesting they should be actively involved with coaching without the relevant qualifications but there must be room to have them about just to offer advice or to be able to point out where players are acting like tits.

 

I'd expect the manager to reach out to these former players.

I'd love to see this fanbase pull a Sheffield Wednesday and start boycotting the games. But that's never going to happen. We will always pull minimum 25,000 attendances every game and that will be more than enough to hoodwink the hierarchy into thinking that nothing needs to change.

 

This fanbase, unlike Wednesday, are too spineless and happy-clappy to push for any real change. Those that do clamour for change are shamed and shouted down by those that fill seats and still complain about how bad things have gotten. I'd go as far as saying there is a divide in the fanbase itself, and I've not known this club to be so internally conflicted in years.

 

Things need to change. But it won't.

Was about to say

 

Apparently Wednesday have sold 6k tickets between midday and 8pm.

 

Given those figure won’t include STHs, that’s a great effort and just shows what can be done with a long, drawn out abstinence. 
 

Our fans are too placid/comfortable/moronic/removed to do what needs to be done.

 

Much like the ways of our owner, nothing will be done until it’s far too late.

100%.
 

The majority of the match day going fanbase would flab this team into the abyss. 
 

I’ve been trying to come up with a theory as to why, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it, other than our match attending fan base as a whole just aren’t passionate enough about the club….. is it because we potentially share it with the Tigers? It is it because we’ve inherited a different kind of match day fan since we won the PL? A lot of the long term fans I’ve been going with have packed it in, because they simply haven’t got the energy to sit and watch the club self destruct. But we’ve proven we can be passionate, the year we won the PL the place was bouncing…… in Europe it was bouncing…..
 

Sheffield Wednesday should be a start reminder of how easily football can go wrong, and we’ve fallen from a much greater height than them….

 

I think sometimes it’s a shake of the state of the club, everything about it is crap. The match day experience is crap, the food and drink is crap, with that so is the service. The on field pre match and half time entertainment is none existent, the music played is largely crap. The place just feels like an energy less bowl at the moment, the match days just feel lethargic and tired. 
 

The club is in desperate need of a boost, because all we’re getting is bad news after bad news…. And the only way to do that is to change the ownership. 
 

Having said all of that, at least the academy is half decent….. but that could even be wasted if we’re not careful.

Like you say too many happy clappers ! 
I’ve realised that you can only do what’s right for you !

I don’t go at all now and I truly don’t miss it. 
So that’s my own protest and if there are similar people doing the same then great, if not then that’s fine but it’s not for me anymore until Khun Top sells.

I think Wednesday fans have shown that if you are really not happy with the way your club is being run and you are prepared to stop the income stream then you can get them out. It would involve dropping to League 1 and seeing the club almost destroyed and losing good people but maybe that's the only way to get the reset we need.

 

We are hearing that Top is searching for a new CEO to run the club but I have no faith that he employ anyone but another yes person who will take a vow of external silence and promise not to challenge the regime.

I am the same but can’t really afford a Season Ticket anymore as having an eleven and nine year old takes up all of our time and money.  Would rather watch my favourite bands like The Cure etc than these idiots.

 

Still watch them online but really not bothered anymore how they do.  Artists in music work harder and have to give much more during gigs than these reprobates.

 

Really do despise the fans that keep clapping them off.  As much as some hate Cov, which I don’t really, their fans are far better than ours for protests etc.  However, is that because they haven’t won anything of note for years?

Your right ! It is the only way forward

Wednesday fans finally snapped, they were apathetic for a few years (dare i say it our current mindset) but the last few months something changed and they realised they had to take any means possible to try and get the owner out. I fear they may reach the premier league before we do even though they’ll be in league one next season.

They’ll only improve now he’s gone ! 
Pleased for them but envious of them at the same time as the grass sure looks greener on their side now rather than ours. 
 

Good god I hope ours would just sell up and go !!

I think a lot of people (large groups of my own family and friends for example) can't separate the past from now. I have a massive family and literally everyone supports Leicester. I talk to my folks, my brothers and my uncles and they're almost all of the mind that as we won the league and the FA Cup under KP ownership, that they, (KP) have therefore (somehow) earned our loyalty and with that the right to work us out of our current situation. I also hear a lot about what the family have done for the city of Leicester. (Ps always interesting when I ask them to name 1 thing in the last 3 years).

 

These are (mostly lol) pretty smart people usually and yet they all think I'm an ingrate for wanting KP out so desperately - also, a lot of them are STHs and I haven't been for years. It's like it's heresy to even suggest it. I think fans like them get branded as happy clappers, but I think it comes from a place of deep gratitude - the fact that we've experienced highs and memories we all thought impossible means they feel they should be loyal to KP. I completely disagree with that logic, and it frustrates the hell out of me, but I understand it.

 

I don't mean to sound patronising, but I think a lot of our fans are 4-5 years behind in their thinking and / or just make judgements based on sentiment and don't look at the evidence that's right in front of them (or just don't want to!). It seems folk are 'happy to have those memories' and see our current plight as some sort of cosmic pay-off that had to happen....I don't get that at all?

 

All that said, and this might sound bizarre, but now Jamie Vardy has gone, who was that final link to those glory years, I do think some people are starting to park the past and look at the current mess for what it is. Again, only got my family and friends to base this on, but some who would never criticise the club before have commented how poorly the club is run now, so maybe the tide is turning very slowly.

 

I suppose what I'm saying is, my experience tells me that FT is a bit of an echo chamber and the majority of fans aren't even thinking about pushing for a change of ownership. I genuinely hope I'm wrong!

All these comparisons to Sheffield Wednesday’s fans problems, are quite honestly, an insult to them. We have not had anything like the upsets they have had. Our players have been paid when they should be and up to the last 3 years, we have had a good PL team. This was destroyed by Rodgers, Top and Rudkin and now we are suffering the frustrations of their actions/inactions. I’m fed up being told on here, by people who don’t attend matches and make out that this is some sort of protest, that everyone else should adhere to this action. We’re told to do anything that involves showing disdain or hate for a club we love, by people who admit to not giving a toss about the club. Coventry are suddenly wonderful, (going well), so perhaps they are the team for you. We know things are bad, just because we still show support for our club, doesn’t mean we are stupid. Those of you who don’t support them anymore, stop trying to tell others to do the same? You seem to be relishing the troubles we’re having, just so you can say told you so. I find it irritating that comments made on this forum, are made by people who have no interest in the club. What’s the point?

Why would anyone want the club to suffer? Maybe people are just fed up of spending hard earned money to fund an owner and players wages who don’t give a damn. With costs going up, people have to make these choices.

 

As for the Sheff Weds comparisons. Nobody is saying we are there now obviously. You are completely missing the point. They were at this point a couple of years ago and it has unravelled further. The point being made is, there are similarities in some aspects to it’d be naive to think that couldn’t happen to us in the coming years. Not to say it definitely will be it could.

 

And FYI,  nobody who doesn’t give a toss about the club likely uses a forum like this. We all post on here because we care. I see both arguments but to claim people who have stopped wanting to give the club their money don’t give a toss is no different to what you are complaining about which is quite hypocritical.

Where is the hypocrisy? You can still support the club when you don’t or can’t attend matches, but there are many who say they don’t care any more but come on the forum and invite others to do the same. Our position is not the same as Wednesday and I don’t see the similarities. We are having financial issues as we know, along with other clubs who were punished for it. For some reason, our punishment is being kept a secret!

The rapid decline of the club on & off the pitch in the last 3 years has been unbelievable. I think we are 18 months/ 2 years away from finding ourselves in the same position as Sheffield Wednesday.
 

Top is stubborn & will dig his heels in and not sell the club, 90% of our match going fanbase wear kinpower tinted glasses can’t see what’s unfolding in front of them. They’ll happily clap a points deduction, blame rules & psr instead of the people running the club.

I do understand their way of reasoning but what it comes down to is a lack of critical thinking skills. These people are billionaires, they aren’t giving more than they are taking from communities.


The one that really irks me is this idea that we won the league because of them - if that were the case then we wouldn’t have been such a memorable story. Why do your family members think it was so special, for neutrals as well as us? Our first 11 cost about £20 million and no other manager would have won us that title, yet Ranieri gets almost no credit (even on here).


It was a combination of Pearson & Walsh (squad building) and Ranieri (tactics / mentality), not investment, that made the crucial difference.


I’m not grateful to KP in the slightest, it’s all circumstance on their part, not genius or philanthropy.

I think it’s bit much using the lack of wanting to buycott as a reason to bash sections of our fanbase (there plenty of other reasons don’t get me wrong) 

 

Remember Wednesday fans had to see offers made for the club turned down players not paid, leave for that reason, their manager walk out, one of their stands temporarily closed, friendly fixtures not fulfilled, and an embargo before they took that drastic step.
