More likely imo to get a result if fans can lobby KP administrators that Top does not have the necessary skills and should be replaced as Chairman after all this is exactly what they have done at KP patent company.

We should have stuck with Marti. He would have at least got us some wins. AK record is 4 straight losses. He is ruined. We owe another manager money ( which we have not got). What possible benefit was there in getting rid? The names linked are terrible. We have had it. Edited 14 February by markko 1

Corky Posted 14 February Posted 14 February I doubt anyone could but it is clear that King can't get much out of these players. We have to try someone else. 3

This isn’t a situation where a natural cycle has come to an end….. how it isn’t generating complete outrage is beyond me….. there’s a genuine chance this club may not exist in a few years….. Trust me, I'm outraged. It makes Shipman, Elsom and Mandaric look very, very competent. I've never known such neglect. The future of the club as an entity is at stake too. But if I had a young kid (I don't) who was in love with the club and wanted to get behind them no matter what, I'm not sure I'd be boycotting. Much like people who have said that they go with elderly relatives, old chums, disabled friends. There's nothing wrong with that, surely. The bigger problem, for me, isn't the fact that people attend. I watch all the games too, I miss going, and I invariably want us to win. So fair play if you still go. The real issue, as I see it, is the contingent which can't see that, no, King Power were never the biggest reason for our success and, yes, they really are in the process of destroying the club. Whether we boycott, like you and me, or don't, it's vital that we're not complicit in destroying the club. And vital that, even if the board finally make a serious concession like bringing Pearson back, or if they do go down and come straight up again, we're not fooled into thinking that this leadership has any future. I think, despite endless opportunities to rescue the situation, the game really is up for Top. I would love to be wrong, of course. If people can start making vaguely sensible decisions then I'm all for it. 1
splinterdream Posted 14 February Posted 14 February if our financial situation is as bad as we think it is, is it a good idea to hire a manager? will a manager make any difference?

At least we're not yet cut off but hard to see us winning another game right now. Agreed but it's getting harder with every game they leave King in charge - not even really a criticism of him, he's just visibly not equipped for it. I think the job is currently as appealing as it's going to get and while it's entirely possible the board have been busy trying to make an appointment but there's genuinely nobody interested, I've no sympathy for them if so because it's their incompetence and inattention up to this point that have turned what would previously have been an attractive job into a poisoned chalice.

inckley fox Posted 14 February Posted 14 February 5 hours ago, Heathrow fox said: Yet reading these pages posters still seem to think that there will be cash to buy transfers. If the club survive relegation i would expect another fire sale of anything of any worth and massive budget cuts. With the same top brass overseeing it. No reset like the summer of 1991.Or going into the season with real momentum like 09/10.Just a reliance on hit or miss loan signings and the grud that’s leftover. What I would say is that the 1991 rebuild cost a total of about 200K at best. Allowing for inflation, they're the sorts of amounts we'll have at our disposal if we sell Fatawu, Khanouss and co. A couple of million here and there at best, depending on the division we find ourselves in. If we drop, 20-30m sales may have halve in value overnight. Not for the first time, we may have missed the moment of maximum saleability for some of our assets. The question is whether our recruitment network has adjusted to reality yet, because in the past it's looked as if we're fishing for the last tiddlers left in the big pond, rather than the low budget, lower league up-and-coming talents elsewhere. That's when you start thinking that we need a Pearson-Walsh style overhaul.

Well I kind of agree, but either way the issue isn't the manager. If only half of your fans are turning up, your players have been half-arsed for years, you've got a points deduction and there are no funds to rebuild, then it's hard to argue that your fourth manager in little more than a year is the main problem.
Parker Pen Posted 14 February Posted 14 February I think for me the utter waste of a gift staring you in the face in the summer is enough to realise that the incompetence is beyond arrogant. Brian Barry.Murphy played the way that the ‘child’ wanted and would have had King as his assistant, notwithstanding the financial saving of hiring, sacking and paying up Marti. 1
MGLCFC Posted 14 February Posted 14 February What I don't understand, unlike Maresca who somewhat took them by surprise when he announced he wanted to go to Chelsea, Marti's impending sacking has been hanging there for about 3 months, yet when they do sack him, it's like a total surprise to them and that they need to find a new manager. How can a club in our dire situation points wise go three league games with a new manager. Rudkin is, and always has been, way out of his depth at the job he's supposed to do.

That’s the problem.We don’t have either the cash or the staff to find bargains anymore.Even a non adjusted for inflation 200 K is now beyond us.If you notice the last few transfer windows we have waited right up to the last few seconds to get loan deals through.The managerial recruitment process has also gone down the same downward spiral 1

There’s definitely bigger problems but whatever the question Marti wasn’t the answer. A bloke who achieved the square root of **** all, he should never have got the job.

This is killing me. I dont understand how more people arent angry. Its absolutely lost on me how they can literally run this club into bankruptcy through sheer neglect and there are still a large amount of fans who think its ok because we won the league, even though neither of them played any real role in it. Its like being in an abusive relationship for the last 5 years, but saying they used to be nice once so lets just wait and see if it turns around. How much more needs to happen before people wake up? They have shown us all time and again who they are. I even saw some comments on the athletic last week of people saying "about time these young fans knew what being a leicester fan is really like" Such a weird mentality to take. Ive basically walked away from the club now, but its getting so far beyond neglect its making me furious to witness. 1
suffolk fox Posted 14 February Posted 14 February (edited) Said before King is a patsy for Top n Rudkin they are naive enough to think the fanbase wont rebel if a LCFC icon is put in charge they are obviously deluded. As i said before I feel sorry for King he is clearly out of his depth but they don't care. I have accepted our fate already league 1 incoming. Edited 14 February by suffolk fox
