To me he just came over as totally out of touch. He lives in his own little bubble and not the real world 

Out of touch in some aspects, very much so.

 

Out of touch regarding the change of football operations, from Owynn’s interview I wouldn’t say so. Around 9-10 minutes into the interview, I actually thought he made some valid points, he clearly knows what needs to change in that regard and what appointments need making. I just think that particular point comes back to why did it take so long? 
 

Fan pressure clearly changed something. 

[Nolucklcfc]

It just felt very flimsy to me. Especially the RL one. Bit like well we get some right, some wrong and Jon is just a scapegoat, blah blah blah. 
 

Lives in his own bubble.

Playing devil's advocate here - could he mean he doesn't understand PSR in the sense it seems to be one rule for one and one rule for another (See Man City) with countless loop holes that even we managed to find?

 

 

Yes - he quite obviously knows what it is, lost in translation.

 

The direction of the club has been beyond catastrophic, the communication equally so........but lets take a reality check, we over achieved massively for the size of club we are, we tried to compete and couldn't, and they made and continue to make some ridiculous decisions, but I/we have witnessed things that most fans outside the regular top 6 will never witness from their club.

 

We will be back, somehow, probably without King Power, but for now buckle in for a few more years of the never boring Leicester saga. 

 

Also - recruitment during our glory period was beyond amazing, picking up countless incredible players for peanuts, that was never going to last without having hundreds of millions to spank when bigger clubs came calling.

 

Some fans have very short memories. 

 

Having said all that, I agree its an utter shambles and things need to change now or be sold to force that change.

WOW the guy in the sky sports studio did not like the fans who were the dissenting voices, said we were in the minority and have short memories...yawn.

Nobody was drowning out the Sack The Board chants. A lot more booing and criticism than applause on Saturday.

“I feel the pain of the supporters. I feel their pain and the frustration of the whole club. I used to be a football fan and when my team lost, I felt so bad,” Srivaddhanaprabha says.

Before you were a football fan, who was your team Aiyawatt ? Brian Horton’s Man City ? Nicky Summerbee running down the wing laying balls for Niall Quinn to head home ? 

[coolhandfox]

Its clear he needs help, we need a good we need a good CEO, who can bring in a good commercial Director sort out the foundations.

 

Bring in the right Technical Director, who can bring in the right manager.

 

I'd like new owner but he clearly isn’t selling, or sacking Rudkin.

 

So the next best thing is to sort those key roles.

But Rudkin still in the mix we no chance of getting anyone any good we him still there

[Clever Fox]

Football is like a giant aircraft carrier, When you make the level of mistakes we have it takes a few years to turn it around.

 

I said it before all of this can be traced back to the tragic Air Crash. Before then were in KP Ownership but with one Owner effectively and a Board of Directors behind him.

Now we have a Board of Directors who have their own problems caused mainly by  something nobody forseen Covid and the fall out.

The Board has more pressing issues and so handed over control of the Club to Top. Since the Cup win he's wasted hundreds of millions with little to show for it.

Smart businessmen hire in the Expertese when they are struggling. At some point he may realise that or go broke. 

 

He has to get the next appointment right no matter how much it costs. But it is going to take any Manager time to get on top of it. 

He needs to convince Fans he's on top of things which until now he hasn'r been.

I agree to some extent, but we have hired lots of talented people before.

Realistically the club will never be back competing with the top 6, arguably we should never have been there but that makes completely throwing the whole lot away even more infuriating whilst the likes of Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth thrive. 
 

Under the current ownership the trajectory is downwards and I see nothing to indicate this will change, particularly whilst Rudkin is in charge. 
 

I personally don’t see a time the club is back as a stable Premier League club in the next decade.

True, But we had a really good CEO in Susan. The problem was she was splitting herself between the Club and KP.

I heard Top overruled her in favour of Rudkin  for which she stepped down, Is it any wonder we are in the psr mess.

Given the Crash and Covid and the success he was part of  I think he's earned a chance to turn things around as KP have been decent Owners.

 

He has no more room for mistakes, And needs to start delivering improvements by bringing in proper proven Football People.

They were hired by Pearson with the support of Vichai and Susan.

 

Now it appears Rudkin in running the show especailly after getting rid of Susan.

[SecretPro]

He's a proper melt isn't he?

That is an big issue.

 

The new technical director need to change the culture as much as anything.

 

I can't see Top going anywhere so they are the only hope we had.

Srivaddhanapraha insists he is working hard to improve the club’s set-up. The appointment of the club’s first ever technical director, who will report directly to Rudkin, is close, while a new chief executive and commercial director will be appointed soon.

His poor English is quite baffling, Alot of Thai's have a very good command of the English language. 

This guy would've had an expensive education. Along running a duty free company and an English football club for longer than a decade would surely warrant extra studying. 🤷‍♂️

Again - he's thick.
