I've not defended Top anywhere but I'm amazed how much of a free pass Rodgers gets. 

 

Out of interest - what would you have wanted the owner to have done differently at the time, rather than with the benefit of hindsight? He couldn't put any more money in than he did thanks to PSR, so that's not an option. I remember people suggesting Rodgers should be sacked before he was (for example) and getting roundly shouted down. 

Rodgers doesn't get a free pass whatsoever, perhaps don't give Rodgers that much power and allow him to push us away from our buying and selling model that was the envy of most of the league, which ultimately got us in the shit we're currently in

The sun article correctly points out a one match boycott wont achieve much, this needs to happen every home game now until he is gone.

 

 

Challenging but true.

Can only speak for myself but I have no intention of attending matches for the foreseeable future under this regime  - I'm going 'non league instead!

I don't disagree. But at the time I remember those few who suggested Rodgers should be sacked were rounded on by the majority who clearly didn't agree and believed he would turn things around. 

 

Of course, recollections may differ 😬

They were and I was one of the ones suggesting he should be sacked after the Bournemouth debacle. But that doesn't change the facts about Top and Rudkin. Just feels like deflection

Definitely need to follow up on this with another protest. Potentially a mini one at Cheltenham considering it's on TV again?

I am sure the chants about sack the board and a few scuffles in the stand will happen again sadly. 

Next game on TV at home is Charlton on the 31st. It gives enough time for folks to allign for a plan of action. By then the results of the Foxes Trust elections will be out too and there may be a few different voices on the board and people in different roles. They aren't a protest group as they have mentioned on multiple occasions, much like UFS isn't, but the social comms and unified front on whatever plan is agreed would be good. 

That guy who runs the "official supporters group" or whatever it is called will never sign up for it. He was talking to someone in the press the other day, I forget who, saying how it's awful people are protesting and should be grateful etc.

The weather argument makes me laugh. Ten years ago we willingly froze our b*****s off repeatedly at this time of the year.

 

The reason I and my son didn’t take up our season ticket seat last night is partly down to it being on a Monday night (we both have a fair way to travel) but mainly because the team is now practically unwatchable under this ownership and manager and we have had enough.

 

And we wanted to show solidarity with fellow fans who feel exactly the same.

 

I think that qualifies as a ‘boycott’.

Giving Rodgers too much sway over transfers in Summer 2021 was the original sin but that only happens because under Top's ownership we've been highly reliant on managers to drive strategy and the world class scouting and recruitment built up under Vichai was gradually dismantled after 2018. That's the thread that links Rodgers spending £60m on rubbish, failing to move Tielemans and Soyuncu on and losing them for free, Cooper's obsession with Premier League experience leading to inflated transfer fees for Skipp and Ayew, and the failure to sign a striker in Summer 2025. 

 

Clubs of our size live or die on their recruitment strategy and ours has been atrocious for half a decade. That's on the ownership. 

Nail on head

I bet as soon as Brendan spoke to Rudkin and Top, he was on the phone to his sleazy agents saying give it a couple of years and I'll have them eating out the palm of my hand. 

 

Bertrand and the other deals were icing on the cake for him. 

[Samilktray]

Claiming Brendan Rodgers gets a free pass on foxestalk is quite something

If this is apparently all Brendan’s fault, then why haven’t the dynamic duo sorted it out since then? 
 

 

Literally some people’s blind loyalty to Top is in ****ing believable… how do you make it through every day life if you can’t bring yourself to accept Top is shit at his job? 
 

 

Playing Devil's advocate you could argue that they did, gaining promotion straight away, however having had to sell the likes of Maddison, Barnes, KDH etc because of Rodgers' relegation we were in a much weaker position.

 

Anyway, mistakes continued to happen from then on and continue to this day - Skipp, Ayew, Edouard, Okoli, Cooper, RVN, Carranza - so I suppose it is moot, but the point I am making is that relegation left us in a position whereby just 'sorting it out' was not really an option.  It screwed us and that is, for the greater part imo, on Rodgers.

I feel there is a connection between the fans who saw through Rodgers earlier and those who have done the same with Aiyawatt. And many of the hard core shouting down the former are those shouting down the criticism of the latter now.

 

Almost like people don’t learn…

Spot on. This always brings to mind the ‘loyal supporter’ who used to sit next to me (mercifully he has now moved seats). After we won the Premier League, he actually - I kid you not - bemoaned the fact we did so when we were struggling the following season because he said the fans had got ‘above themselves’. “I knew this would happen” I frequently heard him mutter disdainfully under his breath.

 

I can only imagine there are many thousands like him (the ‘happy clappers’ for want of a better description) to whom sustained success is anathema because it’s not what they signed up for when they first nailed their colours to the Leicester City mast (rather than supporting a ‘big club’)

 

Somewhat like the Four Yorkshiremen in the famous sketch, they would rather display their holier-than-thou ‘loyalty’ to the club through levels of suffering - even if that means applauding the club into the abyss.

I have no time for these people.

I think you may be onto something there.

 

 If anyone.looks as my past posts you will see my complete and utter disdain for Rodgers, Its a strong word but I "hate" the "Mother Effer".

 

 It wouldn't surprise me that those given the KPFC moniker would also have been on the Rodgers In camp.

Blind  to his incompetence and sabotaging shenanigans, much in the same way Top and KP are also destroying the club at this juncture in time .  Just happy to go along with and accept whatever the club does on blind faith " because we are loyal supporters" and we are "backing the lads regardless " hinding behind the much used  immortal phrase of "keeping the faith"

Worse than that: I suspect many KPFC are the weird anti-Pearsons!

[FosseSpark]

we are playing treble shite and im not going home games until.KP are gone. BUT

i think if we had any striker worth the name we would still be in the top 6 currently. The gap is only 6 -9 pointa which we could easily have achieved even allowing for how shit we are in other facets of play. 

We literally have so little to play around up top that we struggle to achieve consistency or get respite for the rest of the team when they need it.

Plus our wingers know not to cross the ball as very very seldom is there a striker making a run near post or into a danger area. 

Having a striker worth their salt is our biggest current problem as the lack of 1 is demoralising the team i think.

 

of course we have problems in goal defence and midfiled but none as acute aa our total lack of a striker.

[Mickyblueeyes]

I’ve never ever praised the Sun but the fact their article specifically references the little gimp. Not the board, hierarchy etc. but the gimp himself will sting him and those who love him. Putting a face on our troubles to wider society is absolutely key in winning this. That face has to be the curse on this club. Aiyawatt In getting him and those around him out. 
 

It’s a long hard battle. 18 months ago, the idea of a boycott or protest against Aiyawatt would’ve been completely dismissed. Yesterday we had 400-500 people take part and (apparently) 20k choose to stay home as a result of the weather and NOT show up just to spite the boycotters 😏

 

Th absences were quite evident too - the media specifically talking about it.

 

Well done to the organisers. Well done to those who boycotted. Well done to those who chose the warmth (you apparently made it look good).

 

WIN after a long time - onto the next

It's not goalscoring which is our huge issue. We've scored as many as Boro. 

 

It's the defence. We've conceded more goals than ALL THREE OF THE PROMOTED LEAGUE 1 TEAMS.

To be fair, having a good centre forward helps you defensively as well.

Unfortunately until King Power are gone I see the scuffles happening home and away every time. The pro KPFC lot who start the scuffle you only have to see the type of clientele they are which doesn't surprise you that they start fights. 

 

I'm wondering if a sit in or protest outside the ground before and after the game would be the next logical step with it being on TV? Just throwing an idea out there.

 

Ahh the good old be careful what you wish brigade yeah they'll never sign up. But in a few weeks or couple of months when we've had points deduction for PSR and this next point is pure speculation on my part another points deduction for going into administration this "official supporters group" will be crying why action hadn't been taken. Fact is they didn't want to rightly criticise their precious King Power. That "official supporters group" are a shambles.

Cliff's merry band are best treated as a source of amusement

 

(Edited to say I suspect that a couple of KPFC may not be much of an issue in the future. It's hard to ignore that video)

Yep. There is a definition correlation/link

 

Its staggering. I’ve already had the ‘careful what you wish for’ argument from both my bosses in the group chat.

 

Obviously I had to remind them both that they’d both said the exact same to me about Rodgers years ago too 😂😂

 

My mates have cottoned on though this time. They get it. Thank fcuk

To be fair, you are synonymous with the flip side of that particular coin . Myself and others too, but you definitely!

 

What did they say when you reminded them that by the way?

Silence 

 

One of them uttered under his breath today ‘WBA are in a worse position than us and they’re not boycotting’ 

 

I bit my tongue as our arguments about Rodgers were legendary. I reckon people used to delay coming in in the morning at one point until I’d left the yard 😂

Rodgers doesn’t get any free passes from me. 
 

He carries a portion of the blame of course, his part to play, was A receiving too much control, and requesting the support of his mate…. However, that control was given to him by the boardroom. They’ve showed Rodgers far too much respect and gave him far too much control….. this is a mistake from the board, they showed weakness if you want to call it that…… placing far too much trust in a man who’s always been in the game for himself, and clearly was wanting away after we won the FA cup. 
 

Rodgers should have been sacked after the Forest game in the FA cup, as it became clear that he was no longer interested in the project here. The mistake the board made was hang on to him for far too long, to the point where he essentially asked to be sacked after the Palace game…. Top hasn’t got the same proactive leadership as his late father, who would have dismissed Rodgers much sooner. 
 

So Rodgers biggest failing was giving up, and essentially hanging on for his pay cheque.

 

However, the PSR and financial issues firmly lay at Top and the boardrooms door. Regardless Rodgers behaviour and failings, Top, Susan, John et al, signed all of these deals off, they’re  the ones who oversaw the finances and they’re the ones who made these deals happen. Top is the one who has overseen the decline, it’s all happened on his watch, regardless of anything happening beneath him, the fault lays with him, he is the boss, and he’s the one who should have been putting on the measures to prevent this from happening. 
 

As it’s been mentioned, nearly half a billion has gone through this club since we won the PL, so there’s absolutely no excuse to be where we are, Top hasn’t done his job properly, he’s been lazy appointing the wrong people to run the club, John Rudkin is an academy coach, not a director of football…. And over the years we’ve seen an erosion to the operation that Nigel Pearson helped to forge along with the late Vichai. 
 

Top has failed to see this through, and he has failed to put it right. He delivered what was no more that a PR self preservation stunt, throwing out cuddly toys and bumbling around the fan store, and then disappears…. 
 

Top unfortunately, carries the majority of the blame, others have contributed yes, but the decline has happened on his watch, he hasn’t prevented it, and has offered no indication of how he is going to reverse it. The damage is done, and he now needs to let go of the club, he has to put us up for sale, because it is abundantly clear he can’t do the job his father did before him, not even at King Power can he.
