nnfox Posted 13 February Posted 13 February 48 minutes ago, Pita said: It’s obvious that playing polo is more important than finding someone to manage the club You could well be right. Top might actually not be that interested in the football club. It was his father who bought the club, his father who had dreams for the club, his father who paid close attention to what was going on with the club. I never got the impression that Top was anything other than along for the ride. I doubt very much, if it were Top that had built the KP brand, he would never have purchased the club. Now though, it all rests on his shoulders. I believe that Top has a sense of loyalty to his father and is holding onto the club because he thinks that's what his father would have wanted (keeping the club), rather than doing the right thing (selling the club). There must be a huge emotional tie to the club and even though he probably knows the club would do better without him, he just can't let go. I fear that he doesn't have the passion or know-how to turn things around and he won't leave until there's nothing left. 2

It was such a disaster for the Club which we are suffering from right now, It may even get worse before it gets better, certainly on the Pitch while we stay afloat and get control again.

ClaphamFox Posted 13 February Posted 13 February Alternative theory (entirely baseless, but no more so than any other): it's not that Top is dithering, he's actually now mardy. Did he think the interviews he did the other week would placate the fans and is pissed off they didn't, so is now sulking in Thailand and refusing to pick up any calls from Seagrave? Probably not, but it makes as much sense as anything else. 1

BDW-11 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February Not sure if anyone else is in the same mindset as me, but, as much as Nige is a club legend - I would hate to have him back. Why? In case it goes wrong and tarnishes his legacy. He built us from the ground up and doesn't deserve a relegation or any kind of connection with this bunch of charlatans currently wearing our shirt on his CV. It is bad enough seeing Kingy having to apologise for this bunch of useless cvnts' performance on Tuesday, don't want to see Nige in the same position. If the rumours are true from a poster on here that we have had knockbacks - deal with it Top and Rudkin. So inept, so careless - no proactiveness whatsoever. Us fans all deserve so much more than this, ripping our club to pieces. 2

He got us promoted twice and got us to 2 playoff semi finals. 1 when we had no money. And also a Great Escape plus the foundation of the Golden Era. It won't be 1 Pearson relegation it'll be 3 relegations for Rudkin and Aiyatwat. In 4 seasons. Edited 13 February by Blue ROI 3
Mickyblueeyes Posted 13 February Posted 13 February (edited) People need to stop talking about Top and his loyalty to his father. Vichai had 3 other kids who step aside. Little interest and that is fine. If there’s loyalty to anyone you don’t behave like this. You want to know who Top is ? Think of Alan from Hangover - he has all the traits. It’s like taking over his dads businesses. there is no logic here Edited 13 February by Mickyblueeyes 3
Manwell Pablo Posted 13 February Posted 13 February (edited) 1 hour ago, Finnegan said: I dunno. We're about to finally end the rolling 5 year contract cycle that got us in to this mess in the first place and that has hamstrung any attempt to spend and grow the squad for years because the wage bill got so massive. We're about to lose Daka, Soumaré, Ricardo, Winks and Ayew from the wage bill. Vards has already gone, Vestergaard and Faes are quite likely to follow at last. We'll probably generate another £50m selling BEK and Fatawu and the PSR looming threat should finally be done and dusted. It'll be a ghost town here, we'll have absolutely **** all squad, we'll need considerable recruitment. But equally, the clean slate comes with some positives and I'd be surprised if we don't finally see us able to spend this summer if we do stay up. I can see Top walking in to exactly the same mistake Vichai did when he arrived. Remember that Matt Mills era splurge? Going and trying to buy all the "stars" of the Championship and using our name and the size of the club as clout. I don't think it'll get us promoted but I do think it'll get us back up to mid table, top-10 kinda safety. If we survive this year I don't think we'll keep sliding downwards. The club had absolutely nothing going for it in that Holloway, Megson, Allen era. We consistently had no money and no means for years, slowly bringing together a squad of absolutely muck a few hundred k at a time. I just don't see us being in that desperate a situation now. I aint going to have a go at you because I like you. Just a few points, Top had a footballing position at the club that oversaw a lot of the Sven era including Mills and the various other over spending and Vichai "repositioned" (read sacked) him, that's the pattern I see here. But that is honestly like you've not seen what's been going on here for years and expecting a collection of people who have only driven this club downwards and expecting them to make any kind of progress. In terms of best case scenario's it's life in the Championship without any ambition, best case. It's a viewpoint like that makes me want us to go down if that what it takes to actually evidence the levels of miss management at this club. Edited 13 February by Manwell Pablo
FoxKent_88 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February imagine the relief when Percy drops his bomb tomorrow... only to learn it's Ryan Mason on a 3 year deal
Corky Posted 13 February Posted 13 February Imagine a scenario where a club has spent 10 of the previous 12 years in the top division, in the other two winning the lower division, and are then struggling to convince managers to join three weeks after a change. For there to be serious talk of a return of a manager who left a decade ago (not a criticism of Nige, a fine man and hugely important manager in our recent history). We are a good club held back by inadequate characters in key positions. 3

As a fan I would love to see him come and do well but would hate for him to come back purely because I don’t trust this group of players to turn it on for anyone. They’ve shown no fight or passion all season bar that first half on Tuesday. I don’t think it matters what manager comes in, nobody can turn this shower of shite around so I think NP should steer well clear, he’s done his bit for this club. As the great Ric Flair says - this group leaves no stone unturned in the search of defeat and I don’t want to see Nigel having anything to do with it personally. 1

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 13 February Posted 13 February I'd get Dyche in, read social media that the forest players didn't like his tough training methods. Now Forest have a luvvydovvy manager to the players and fans
Winstonthedog Posted 13 February Posted 13 February 8 hours ago, Philkeavo said: I think this must be one of the inescapable conclusions. The football world swirls with chatter and rumour and it would be clear any potential manager considering Leicester would have to take the job within the club self imposed constraints: 1. Must work for Jon Rudkin 2. Must play possession football like Man City 3. Must work with current squad All of the above are imo impossible for any manager, let alone working for King Power should be the biggest red flag of all. All true .... I'm a little puzzled why Top and King Power think working for them is attractive.... when in reality their record over the past few years screams do not go anywhere near the club 1
Jattdogg Posted 13 February Posted 13 February We could literally watch the glenlevit age from day 1 to 12 years before these knob ends appoint a manager whilst we are playing as a Sunday league team at GNG football ground 2
