Jim Donnelly

[broughtonblue]

I don't think there is a single person behind the scenes who gets a good write up on here, but in my opinion, with the dealings I've had with him in, Jim is a good bloke, who will go out of his way to help if he possibly can. He managed to sort my transferring of my wife's season ticket, to a minor, who obviously doesn't have a mobile phone when all other avenues failed. Also in the past helped with my late mother in law who was in a wheelchair on a number of occsions. 

Yes people probably get frustrated with him when he is put up as the face of Leicester City at meetings etc, but I'm sure on those occasions his hands are probably tied by the limited actions he can take in those situations. 

But all in all, a top bloke in my opinion. So a big shout out to Jim 👍

I thought this post was about to get really dark for a moment

 

He seems like a bloke that has consistently been talked of positively when people deal with him one on one. I think we'll take any positivity on here that we can atm so I'd call this a good post

Thanks for this Jim 👍

A good bloke who gets it. 
 

Will always try his best for you.

I think this is fair my dealings have always been positive. As an employee there are areas he cannot address and I am sure as a supporter he has his moments of doubt . I know for a fact he has faced some unacceptable behaviors from individuals but gets on with the job. Please remember the mid level staff are the public face sometimes delivering messages and policies dictated from above as with any organization.

Knew this would happen! I'm not Jim honestly 🤣

I think the people that do that role are generally some of the nicest people you'll meet. Often their failings are caused but the environment they work in, rather than their own lack of compassionate or empathy.

 

I vaguely knew (through my uncle), Peter Jones, the ex ref who also did that job for a while. He was genuinely the nicest bloke I think I've ever met. As a kid he randomly sent me loads of swag from when he reffed some international matches and when we traveled up to a home game once, he took me in the club shop and bought me a shirt. Obviously, those are things in a personal capacity but I think it shows the mindset of these guys.

 

One of the very last connections to the traditional culture/way football used to be as a supporter.

[sylofox]

Great OP. Shame the poor guy will get sacked if Top, Whelan or Rudkin read this.

 

Making fans supporters feel welcome and wanted is a sackable offence on Filbert Way

[Incognito]

Nothing else I can add that hasn't been said before about the bloke. Top man.

OK Jim

[Raj]

Top, Top man is our Jim.

Proper Gent and proper LCFC fan.

 

Its not easy being a fan of the club AND working there with all the sh1t going on.

 

Jim is a legend

[Aleksz]

Personally struggled with a few knee problems over the years and Jim has always been helpful in transferring me to a more accessible area when I'm on crutches or what not. Bloke is a gem and can't do enough for anyone.

Should we really be using  Top in any way shape or form now in reference to someone being good.

 

Surely Top should mean useless weak cvnt. Or spoilt baby brat, I could go on and on but you all get the picture.

[davieG]

Helped me on several occasions, even managed to get my son's ST renewed after he missed the closing date, the year we won the league due to family issues. For that I shall be eternally grateful.

[CosbehFox]

I have had one meeting with him - it was a wide debate and at times cross words. However at the end of it, he came up to me and thanked me for the extent of the chat. He appreciated that it wasn't a one way discussion and that some consensus was found. In all my working career, I have very rarely come across that and it was appreciated. 

 

My gut is like many said he's stuck in the middle. I can't highlight enough there is a lot of people involved with LCFC who know the issues and understand them but they are let down by others above them. He's often the go to man for problems because he cares more than most and he's doing too much

[VLC86]

He’s done a fair bit for me over the years, including helping a terminally ill friend out with hospitality tickets. Shame there aren’t more that give a shit as much at our club.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

If he can help you he will.

[sylofox]

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 

Says a lot about where we are ATM. A faceless guy that no one would recognise in the street has a thread that goes Hot.

 

 

As for the team and football the owner and his fvcking puppets  FLUSH THEM.

[davieG]

And he's a fan

How is Jim faceless? I think 90% of Leicester fans would recognise him.

Only if you're lucky enough to have not needed his help.

I don't know how you've come to this but i'd say most fans know who Jim is if they are regular attendees.

Are you ok mate? 

[SK3Blue]

Nice guy, will help if he can, I’m sure he gets as frustrated as we do with the club at times. 

[ramboacdc]

I hadn't had dealings with him in some time, but when I did he was nothing but nice no matter what. 

Top fella.
