100% she would still be here with RUDKIN LEFT

[fuzzymizzit]

This is such an open goal easy win and they couldn't even be bothered to do it. Club is on its arse. 

 

Hope the 15/16 players know how the fans feel about them, at least.

People dont realise how influential  she was when Vichai was here. She was his main woman.

Once he passed away, Rudkin the weasel saw an opening to Tops butt and she had enough.

They didnt even talk for ages.

 

We deserve all we get while this PE teacher is still not the club

Wouldn’t matter who we signed the majority of whiners on here would be rushing to be the first to slate them and the club.

The belief of so many that they’re a better fan and constant sniping at anyone who tries to take a slightly positive attitude as being KPFC fans

That and the lack of any sense of humour (the numerous ‘jokes’ about 14 seconds and fax machines) is surely leading to a few stopping posting on here.

We're midtable in the Second Division of English Football. What don't you understand?

 

What part of this are you ok with? What is there to look forward to? Genuinely answer this question.

[StanSP]

It's actually horrible how unsurprising this is.

 

Our club just do not give a shit any more. They've got no care in the world to honour anything good that happened. 

[lgfualol]

Would have been an easy win for the club to organise something. They seem to make the wrong decision every time. 

[Jattdogg]

Wasn't it the monks who won us the league?

[OntarioFox]

Title winning XI vs. the current XI would be fun, not least because even with most of them pushing or past 40, the old guard would probably wipe the floor with today's squad.

 

Kingy manages today's team then on 60 minutes Ranieri subs him on for Drinky and he two-foots all the players who have pissed him off over the course of the season.

They do. They see this as an opportunity to reconnect fans and reconnect with the fans. 

The way our owner and other execs have flat-out refused to do anything is hurtful to a lot of those players who love the club and the supporters.

More evidence that it's no longer that the club is being run badly, it's that it isn't being run at all. There seems to be no organisation or admin whatsoever.

Do you not think this is something that deserves criticism?

[ramboacdc]

How it is worded by person on FoxesOfLeicester makes it sound worse than it is. It did it's job though and got reactions and clicks to the site. 

The quote comes from the Four Four Two piece. Simpson says he knows the club is going through some tough times, doesn't know if the club were planning an event and if they were, he hasn't heard of one yet.

 https://www.fourfourtwo.com/team/we-havent-heard-anything-from-the-club-about-a-10-year-reunion-for-our-premier-league-title-but-the-lads-are-chatting-and-well-have-one-if-we-can-help-leicester-city-during-a-difficult-time-we-would-ex-foxes-star-tells-fft-about-anniversary-plans

"“I don’t know, the club’s going through a difficult time, we haven’t heard anything from the club,” he told FourFourTwo.

“But we’ve got a WhatsApp group, ‘Reunion 2026’, and we’ve had a few chats about what we’re going to do. Obviously most of the lads are retired now, although some are still playing.""


Frankly, it's bollocks. If the choice was getting the guys back together at whatever expense to have them stand on the pitch against Preston North End at half time when we could be fighting to stay in the championship, or don't and the time, money and effort go into something else that helps the club, I am more than happy to. 

The club don't currently have a pot to piss in, and the players are millionaires so many times over. They are all grown adults and in some cases are still playing. They can arrange their own stuff and meet up. The club shouldn't be footing the bill if they want to get together. Apart from a single photo op, there is nothing more the club can do, and trying to wrangle even just the starting 11 to Seagrave would be difficult and do nothing more than fill a post on the socials for a day or so.

Such a non story. Danny Simpson wants a catch up with his team mates and happened to tell a journalist.

Kin hell, I'd back the 1997 Coca-Cola Cup winning squad, 59-year-old Ian Marshall and all, over the current reprobates.

Watch that video of Pearson and Big Sam, on the first post of the new Pearson thread

 

 

He speaks very highly of Susan

[MattFox]

Susan Whelans husband spent more time with the trophy on trophy day than any of the players….

The wheels should have been in motion well before she left if it was going to happen

Think there'll be big revelations from her at some point, about what really happened behind the scenes in the last period of her time at the club, whenever she's able to mention them.

 

How she allegedly 'walked out' sounded quite abrupt.

He'd have a genuine excuse to fall over, when he feels Wasyl's famous flying elbow.

It’s a missed opportunity by the club to generate some much needed positive attention. Complete bunch of plonkers.

Liverpool and Manu do this all the time.

to honor and remember past heroes who took the club to such high levels.

 

would love to see the 2016 team managed by Pearson & ranieri play an premier league all stars legends team. Money could go to a foxes charity. To see vardy and mahrez, kante, kasper, shinji again would be a sight for sore eyes.

Not a coincedence the game after she left we had BC Games back on the shirts.......the whole club is rotten.

[bovril]

Obviously this is disappointing but I feel that if the club were organising something a lot of people on here would say it was a cynical plot to distract from the current shambles.
