'I Want People To Be Closer' - Khun Top Speaks

[Aleksz]

Also whoever that King Power employee is that is walking around making the floor squeak will be down the job centre in the morning

Actions speak louder than words.

I might have objected to the songs about Rudkin at the weekend but might endorse it for them. One of the worst sounds imaginable.

Well this is quite grim. King Power supporters given more ammunition to abuse the dissenter's now, Aiyawatt knows exactly what he’s doing in this case. Realised he was losing some of them so comes back with this shite to reel them back in.    

[StanSP]

I haven't even watched it (I will at some point) but right now it is a case of 'actions speak louder than words' cos I know there'll just be a load of soundbites in there. 

 

He can say all he wants. Until fans feel more comfortable and excited to be back at KP that's when the real signs of progress will show. 

 

Nothing he says now makes an iota of difference. 

[AjcW]

My favourite bit is the sound of Rudkin doing Knee slides in the background celebrating his promotion.

[Pliskin]

Can’t wait for Ian stringer to spaff all over social media with this #bestownersintheworld….

[OadbyBlue]

Don’t care what he or anyone else says until things visibly improve.

Take a look at the YouTube comments section (Not sure if they're being managed, probably)... Swaying them already. 

[MattFox]

It’ll be enough to keep the KPFC brigade and the NPC’s onboard

Just joined King Power and now helping Top out with us it looks like

Odd career path from Supply Chain manager at a company that is basically Makro in Thailand to being the MD of a English Football club..... 

 

Wonder who is she related to / married to.....

Mission accomplished then 😖

That's been Rudkin's actual role or last few years. Sits there surrounded by empty Carlsberg cans in a Travelodge deleting anti King Power comments on socials. 

[LCFCJohn]

Agree with all that’s been said. Little substance, quite waffley and will get KP people back of side.

 

I don’t know if it was the language barrier when he was saying ‘maybe it’s my fault’. I’m none the wiser as to whether he was actually taking accountability or being vague about it.

 

He did seem quite sheepish and that is hard to fake. Maybe he has genuinely woken up or maybe a bollocking from him mum!

 

Actions speak louder than works anyway.

Does he actually still say that?

He had a winge not too long ago didn’t he when Top had to move some cash around. Claiming he was getting unfair stick…. When the guy was literally making up for his own shitty decision making. 

[john ridley]

He can say what he wants, bring in whoever, but we're  still stuck with a shit team going nowhere. 

[Buzzard]

Wow 

 

Top - "I want to reconnect with the fans"

 

The next scheduled Fan Advisory Board meeting will take place on Wednesday 19 November, where Khun Top will be represented by the Club’s Interim Managing Director.

 

🤔🤨

[davieG]

Hardly tough questioning

Missing the point - it's not simply about being in the Championship and I doubt there's more than a handful of fans that think of winning the PL again

I hope when he talks about communication it goes beyond the FAB.

Communication doesn't even mean hearing from Top, it's hearing from the DOF, CEO and the Communications person other than through some contrived representative group.

It's a scripted speech, did you expect it to show anything?

A simple "sorry" would have been a start!

Have we ever had an MD? 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I know the questions are scripted to have this tone but that Dan bloke is so sycophantic

[Stuntman_Mike]

I haven't watched any of it yet, but it would make more sense if the title was 'we need to be closer', rather than implying he isn't a huge part of the problem. 

[CosbehFox]

The idea is right - you have to acknowledge that. 

 

The execution poor. Location. Interview style. Two chairs like a Westlife gig. 

 

The extent of the interview is acknowledging the disconnection but it didn't say anything about how that changes. 

 

I want to hear the plan how the club are going to get out of this mess. The decisions they have made and the actions going forward. I want to hear the extent of the Technical Director role. I want to know who is charge of picking our manager and selecting our signings. 

 

The majority of fans need to be sold something that is a realistic vision. This ain't it.

He just needs to tell us, plainly and openly, exactly what the problems are, how big they are, and what the plan and timescale is for fixing them.
