When we were in serious trouble in January and we signed some random nobody who didn't even play.

He’s likely to come back as well. Sure he’s only out on loan 

[Stuntman_Mike]

From a footballing perspective, around the Cooper appointment and the money he wasted. 

 

From a fan perspective a handful of games into RVN. I've never felt so detached from attending. 

 

I like to think I've been pretty patient. 

[Benji]

Cooper for me.  I thought it was the end of the Rogers era - but Maresca gave me hope we still had a lower half PL squad that could rebuild, invest wisely and improve.

 

The Cooper appointment said absolutely everything about the running of the club from top to bottom.

[5waller5]

Keeping Rodgers way too long was the start, but it could have been recovered… When we sold Enzo and KDH after promotion it was entirely inevitable

[Iwebema]

I think the final straw was all the absolutely bonkers decisions after Enzo left.

 

I remember thinking the last hope for this club has gone because those 2 absolute clowns in charge cant get lucky again.

 

I havent been to a game for about year now. Ive stopped watching 90% of them.

 

There is nothing about this club to be proud about, I feel nothing but shame and anger towards it.

 

From the dodgy sponsors and general dictatorship in the hierarchy down to the toxic players who have failed over and over and over again but still get a free pass by every manager.

 

I will keep checking the scores and hope for something better, but until there are major changes. Im out, fair play to any of you that can stick around and watch this happen to something you love, because I cant

I didn’t think anything could annoy me more after watching that in the stadium today, and then the people around me started clapping

Last season broke me. I honestly thought this is what we would get this season. Initially this season looked okay but now we just look clueless, devoid of effort and any commitment. Soumare dreadful. Kristenson gave up on two balls one in there half and then immediately after for second goal. May have been tired but he is not great. Winks strolls around, just about doing enough. Daka, well we have had some dross but he is the absolute pits of the earth. For me none of them would play again for my team.

[Thequickbrownfox]

This was our starting eleven for our last game in League One back in 2009 - Stockdale, Morrison, Hobbs, Brown, Mattock, Oakley, King, Berner, Dyer, Howard, Fryatt.

It almost looks like manna from heaven now!

We may well be back in League One next year to complete one of the most bizarre 17 year spells in any club's history.

[kingfox]

I gave up my season ticket after the return from Covid, haven’t been motivated once to get myself back to the King Power, I’m not throwing money down the drain to watch our most unlikeable squad since 07-08. 
 

Maresca got us back on track, then we fvcked it, now years of mismanagement and poor recruitment is finally catching up with us. 
 

First time I mentioned about entering another 05-08 era was towards the end of last season. 
 

I think after today, we may have just entered another one. 

[STEVIE B]

The poor transfer windows after our Title win in 2015/16 was the beginning.

 

l don’t want to get too melancholy, but we missed a massive chance to fully establish ourselves as a top 8 Premier League side.

 

Apart from the FA Cup win, it’s been an unbelievable decline. Biblical. 
 

More recently, the way Rogers was allowed to dictate his departure, hold too many cards, showed a massive weakness in our hierarchy. 
 

It’s difficult to pinpoint one moment, l reckon it’s a collective. It’s been so, so poor.

I don't  remember  any squad  of players or owners being this unlikeable in all my 50 odd years of following  them.I  don't see any light at the end of the  tunnel , just darkness.

This was absolutely the pivotal moment.

 

Make the right call here and things are very different now.

[whoareyaaa]

Leaving it to late to sack Rodger’s and then employing Cooper after Enzo had got us playing like a team again and we end u employing a manager of the complete different style to the players we had and way we was playing.

 

all goes back to the board and there string of shit decisions 

[RonnieTodger]

Cooper and his signings

[foxy tiler]

What makes this worse is the fact we where in a really strong position competing well in the Prem. Losing our owner who knew how to run the club in such a manner was gutting and to see those at the top not having a clue and squandering everything that was acheived makes this much worse. Complete rebuild from top to bottom needed.....going to be in the wilderness for quite some time now unless the club gets sold to folk who know how to run a club.

Absolute c unts. Make no noise all game and then performatively clap the players off in our ‘Kop’. Wasters

[jayfox26]

I keep trying to convince myself that i don't care but the raging bad mood that overcomes me every single weekend, clearly shows I do. I hate it as this Shite club effects the way I am with my wife and kids and it's horrible. I want to not care and just laugh it of but i just can't.

This.

[Fox92]

Van Nistelrooy. First time I’ve genuinely not wanted to go, ended up missing loads of games.

 

This season I got bored after the Wrexham game. I’m not convinced with this manager at all.

[Vestan Pance]

I think when Mendy (who was always completely mediocre for us when he rarely played) ran his contract down and looked around for another club, and we ended up re-signing him, I knew something was badly wrong with the finances and direction of the club. I could only see a downward spiral from that point on.

[Haywood_6]

Steve Cooper and the recruitment team blowing 70 million on shite players who made us worse. That was the moment. The owner has dragged us into this mess.

[Joe90]

Not scoring a goal at home in FIVE MONTHS!!! Wow that’s actually shocking I hate this team 🤬

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

When we got ourselves back up and actually weakened our team, lost our manager and the aftermath has been a disaster. 
Wasting the KDH money on Skipp, not off loading the likes of Soumare, Faes and Daka etc etc persisting with boring possession based football and not learning from previous mistakes, extending players contracts who clearly aren’t up to the standard required. 

[It'sblueupnorth]

When Danny ward was still being wheeled out in pre season last year

[Noahfence]

When we signed 2 players part of the backline that we put 9 past.
