Club Statement

[1972 Fox]

Could we get the old record sponsor A.G. Kemble of Leicester Road Wigston to supply a copy of Communication by Spandau Ballet for the pre-match entertainment?

Have to say I was fairly near the front, didn’t hear anything of the ilk that is being reported about. Not the right approach to take to say the least from those involved, but as others have highlighted, when you have tw**s singing is this a library during a two mins silence, I doubt that it would register in the one brain cell they have that something like this would be unacceptable! 
 

One thing that was good to hear Saturday was sack the board getting louder. More pressure needs to be coming from the stands on that front, and behaviour like what has been described just pushes people away from putting that pressure on the club in the right way.

When Daka went down 'injured' the other day Norwich fans were singing "dig a hole and ****ing bury him"  

 

Presumably they'll have the same complaints about this as well?

Good idea!

Anyone defending that chant at the Norwich game for any reason is wrong. I'm all for calling for rudkin to be sacked but threats that glorify violence are wrong always and I hope we never hear them again. The club were right to put a statement out about it.

The fan groups put out a perfectly fine statement. The club could have just circulated that without the extra BS they added about integrity.

Why does everything have to be either or? It can be both.

 

As fans, we can absolutely condemn the chants and comment how vile and unacceptable it is whilst also seeing through the statement for what is. An attempt to play victim and get those wavering in their support for them, back on side.

 

To comment on their motive for the statement as well as pointing out what it has unfortunately taken to break their radio silence is in no way defending the chants. Those suggesting it is are more of a problem imo.

I can tell you there is not much sand on Brighton beach.  That does look like Cromer.

What was the fans groups statement? I’ve only seen the club one.

I heard 4 lads singing let him die when Dan Burn went down injured in a Cup game at the KP. Don’t recall any statements from the club then?

That's because Dan Burn doesn't cuddle Top to sleep wearing Thai dye pyjamas.

It was sung by a crowd of about 20 people around 10 minutes prior to kick off in the concourse and pretty much everyone else said "bloody hell, bit much lads". Clearly a group of pissed up idiots because they were all doing that ****ing daft jumping up and down trying to slosh as much carling down each other as they could while each of them had their phone out to record it. The type of kids who talk about "scenes" and "limbs" when describing football. I didn't hear it being sung in the stands.

 

Yes the lyrics, on paper, are absolutely abhorrent. However, there isn't any genuine threat to Rudkin. This wasn't exactly sung by a baying mob with pitchforks and torches outside of his house.

 

This was a group of young adults who got carried away. Unfortunately, it's the only time King Power Football Club have ever acknowledged that fans are frustrated yet they've not acknowledged the thousands of Leicester fans chanting "Sack the board" or "We want Rudkin Out" or "We don't care about Rudkin, he don't care about me".

 

All this has done is given the happy clapping mob further reason to avoid pushing the club for change. Their silence (coupled with King Power's silence) is the reasons that tensions and frustrations have boiled over to this point. 

 

Norwich fans have been penning their board in the ground. They literally haven't been letting their directors leave Carrow Road after home games yet we're supposed to have been the ones crossing the line because some (heavy emphasis on some) Leicester fans sang a pretty revolting song.

 

It's exactly the same situation here as to what happened at Manchester United (even the song is the same). Nothing changes when you protest 'fairly' so why bother? Why not turn the heat up on the board? This is the first time we've heard them interact with fans and they still avoided the core issue. Now we've got the same old Happy Clappers trying to tarnish everyone that wants Rudkin and AIyawatt to leave with the same brush as the idiots that sang this song.

I still cannot wrap my head around the idea that there are Leicester fans that wouldn't. He is God in my eyes. Up there with Martin O'Neill and Claudio Ranieri.

 

I wish more managers stood up for themselves and told cocky journalists where to ram it like Nige did.

Disappointing to hear Graeme Smith on the When You're Smiling podcast going down the hate crime and police involvement route in response to this. Feels a bit out of touch.

 

Is this really what the fan base want from the Fan Engagement Framework and individuals on the Fan Advisory Board that are there to represent them?

 

Such a shame the Trust signed up to this nonsense and have Ian Bason as their representative playing a part in it...

Yeah my eyes rolled when I heard that. Sounded very ‘BBC’. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

I thought Jordan on the BSLB’s podcast got it pretty much spot on

Completely agree.

 

Whilst as others have commented the WYS “hate crime” messaging really lost me.

 

I don’t condone the chants but ignoring that we’ve taken it from Manchester United (likely more too) has been completely ignored.

 

A quick Google search and I can confirm that there have been zero charges for the aforementioned (horrible) chants.

How did we get here? The chanting is an extreme - most fans have a more moderate reaction to the performance of the club and board.  Yet just coz there are a few more extreme fans doesnt mean there is nothing wrong - Top is supporting rudkin.  Whatever happens this season no one can think rudkin is the guy to reset the squad - so either top gets a new DOF or he needs to look at himself.
