Toxic squad?

[An Away Move]

This lot seem to act like fungus on any manger. Pearson chose players with character and work ethic. This is the opposite. The most toxic squad ever? Dennis Wise days may have been worse, but I’m not certain.

Wise was a one off. This is five or six senior pros that don't give a fvck. And yes that's toxic.

Loved their top 10 hit song, Crossroads

[Nolucklcfc]

Soumare 

daka 

faes 

winks

In particular are bad. 

[Lad1966]

I hope with Winks, Buba & Daka leaving at the end of the season, and a few others, including Faes and vestaguard, hopefully we can start building a proper team that the fan can get behind. I don’t feel sacking MC is the solution. We won’t get auto places, but there enough to get in the play off, not because we are any good, but the rest of the league is shit too,!

[The boy Linacre]

Don’t know if people saw the end interesting “disinterested handshake” from Jannik with Marti after the end

[RoboFox]

Toxic club

[Torten]

As shit as tonight was this is why I’m reticent about the sacking of Marti. We have a board who have been absolutely shit and incompetent for the best part of a decade still calling the shots and a group of some of the shittest no marks who consistently underperform and think they’re better than they are.

 

Makes Enzo really stand out actually getting a tune out of them.

[Bezzanator89]

Toxic. Arrogant. Entitled. Complacent.

 

Yep, got plenty of those players in our squad.

Can never truly reset ourselves until they are gone.

[leicesterlad1989]

It's the whole club. Including the fanbase, which has been caused by the club, specifically those who make the big decisions. 

 

This squad is full of overpaid egos and I'm sure there's added pressure to play those players until we get them off the books.

The state of our squad and (manager) was summarized by winks getting the armband today… disgusting after his attitude at the start of the season

True, but (and it proves the point at the start of your sentence) which other fooker in that XI on the field at the time gets the band ahead of him right now? Jakub? Or really take the piss and give it to a 16 year old

 

Winks needs to play because he's better from a pure footballing sense than the alternative, which is Skipp, Soumare or Hamza. But knowing he's considered a leadership figure after his multiple incidents over the past few years sums us up for the clown show we are.

Fish rots from the head down. Until King Power are gone, nothing changes.

[jim5000]

We need a proper reset and to get rid of the dross that was signed on big wages under Rodgers.

 

Soumare, Vestergaard, Faes, Daka, Kristiansen, Winks, Thomas all need to go. They are not good enough for the level we aspire, and have checked out playing at the level we’re at.

 

Add in some of the crap that Cooper signed.

 

Its almost a whole new squad, and many of those players will leave for nothing when their contracts expire so god knows where the money to buy replacements is coming from.

 

The squad management over the past 5 years has been the antitheses of everything that made us successful.

Enzo didn't stand out. He had the best squad in the division at the time. He got them playing a away no one could handle to start with. Once sussed out we had no answers.

 

End of the season losing to Millwall and plymouth in five days. Yes both away but we had no clue what to do in either game as only one plan. Great start lucky in the end.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Spending £20m on Skipp sums up the incompetence of the the running of the club...and we have to fork out another 5m from appearance fee 🙄

I think the money doesn’t come from anywhere tbh 

 

Academy lads 

Free Agents

Premier League loans 

And the odd outlay for proven championship players 

 

That’s where the success of Pearson’s 2013/14 side came from 

 

Will also allow the fanbase to reconnect and relate to the players again! 

[Vazman]

I just hope those so called senior pros, stealing a wage, have not corrupted the youngsters, I hope those who don't put in 100%, and want away, (we all know who they are) end up on sh&t wages at sh$t clubs.

 

MC grow a pair and bench those not willing to put the hard yards in.

Winks was nothing to do with Rodgers. Thomas was from the academy and would show as a profit if we only got 5k for him.

[kingfox]

As I said in the Cifuentes out thread, it’s just years of mismanagement catching up with us. 
 

This is the most unlikeable Leicester City squad I’ve seen since 07-08. 
 

We’ve gone into a Championship season with some players who don’t want to be here, we have no natural goalscorer, we have no leadership, we don’t even have a bloody recognised set piece taker. 
 

How this squad has been assembled is a fvcking shambles.

Surely you just give it to fatawu.  If he was as sulky around the squad all pre-season as he was in the pitch,  it must send a  poor message to the rest of the squad that he received it.

I would love that to be the case,but have no faith whatsoever in the idiots that are running the club.

But you need someone like Pearson to pull a squad like that together.

 

The positive is that the signings this season (apart from Cranza the new striker) have been postive

[LeePhilpottsBaldSpot]

Never felt anywhere near as distant from our players. Hard to get behind when so many are clearly bellends, want to leave and play such boring, ineffective football.

 

Soumare, Faes and Vestegaard seem literally uninterested and I genuinely think it would be best for the club if they were all allowed to leave on a free if they can find another club.

 

My team for the next game:

 

Stolarczyk

Ricardo Nelson Okoli Thomas

Winks James

Fatawu Ramsey Monga

Evans 

[whoareyaaa]

Faes and Vesterguard seem the most toxic to me, rather see Okoli and Nelson start.

 

Winks has been fine same with Soumare but he is just a bit average.

 

We have a handful of good players in Ricardo, James, Fatawu, Ramsey, Monga, Page who can actually play football Jakub is fine the rest are bang average.
