Honestly, it'd be a tough choice between getting rid of KP or getting rid of this lot... (Actually I'd get rid of the happy clappers and forelock tuggers in a heartbeat. Wouldn't even need to think twice. We could play the long(er) game with KP!)

 

Use of phrase "bore off." Abysmal spelling and grammar. Zero understanding of finance. Why are their messages always like this? (I know!) Lol that they think Foxes Trust are anti KP!!!

To be fair, a lot of them are tied to KP so I suspect as we naturally fall further and/pr KP leave, many of them will drift away from the club. 
 

So I’d still go for KP and let the fanbase sort itself out following that.

I don't think half of them even attend games.

 

It's easy to say support the club, just back them etc. when you sit at home every week and the only interaction you have with the club is checking the results on livescore at 5pm every week. If you spend all Saturday and £100 doing it every 2 weeks then you'd perhaps feel different.

If all of the "just back them" brigade practised what they preach, the ground would be an absolute cauldron every week.

Just hearing some of the KPFC fans points of views are frightening…..

 

 

I don’t accept for a second that this is primarily the fault of the league authorities. Our decline is self-inflicted. Over the past decade, an extraordinary amount of money has flowed through this club — from Premier League revenues, Champions League participation, and major player sales. For a club of our size, those resources should have entrenched long-term stability, smart succession planning, and competitive resilience. Instead, we’ve lurched from short-term thinking to costly mistakes, both on and off the pitch.

 

The deterioration hasn’t happened overnight, and it isn’t bad luck. It is the cumulative result of poor recruitment, muddled strategic decisions, and a lack of accountability at executive level. When performances repeatedly crumble under pressure, that reflects a culture and structure that are not functioning properly. Those things are shaped at the top.

 

What makes it unacceptable — and frankly inexcusable — is that this should have been impossible given the financial platform the club was handed. We were not operating from scarcity; they were operating from strength. To have regressed so sharply despite that advantage points directly to ownership and leadership failures.

 

Fans are entitled to support the owners if they wish, but unconditional defence of King Power in the face of clear decline only removes pressure for meaningful reform. If we refuse to acknowledge where responsibility lies, we become part of the reason nothing changes….

 

How can some not see this?

I don’t think they want to see it 😕

"Who will buy us?"

 

Just a few clubs that have been taken over in the past decade or so having previously had toxic owners and are now better off for it:

 

Sunderland, Birmingham, Coventry, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Portsmouth, Nottingham Forest, Derby County, Leeds United, Wrexham, Ipswich Town. I mean, I could go on...

Presumably these people have never bought/sold a house or a car 

I think the problem is that buying Leicester City would be more like paying a stupid amount of money for a house that needs a new roof, complete rewiring, has massive subsidence, doesn't have central heating or even running water, has sitting tenants with long-term contracts for a peppercorn rent, and has covenants preventing any of the work actually beinf done. And you'd be taking over an existing mortgage that is twice the size of the value of the house even if you did all the work.

Only an idiot would do that.

Assuming KP won't willingly sell, certainly not for a massive loss, maybe the best (only?) hope is that KP goes completely bust and Leicester City is one of the things that gets sold off cheaply to pay something back to creditors. Then someone might consider buying the club...?

What percentage of posters on this board actually attend?

Some spend all Saturday and £100 doing it every Saturday throughout the season.

Many of those then get slated on here as happy clappers and KPFC supporters.

 

It’s important to the and get as many fans onside as possible, idiots who deny what Vichai gave to the club or want to carry a Cambodian flag will ensure that many fans won’t support this march.

The ones to regularly attend home and away seem to be anti KP. The ones who don’t seen to be more pro KP, from my experience. 
 

I imagine something like that will happen, you can’t control it. People will then use it to easily say ‘Look!! I told you they were idiots, ignore them’ I can see it coming a mile off. 
 

Regardless, the message won’t get ignored and will not get lost. I hope a good number turn up.

Thanks for the insight.

Were they though? None of those clubs have the massive wage bill we now do. None of those clubs have the running cost of a massive training facility that we do. We will cost a lot more than any of those clubs and the initial outlay will be much bigger than which it took to turn those clubs around.

Wrexham were bought by two Hollywood billionaires despite not owning the ground, playing part time football clubs and a whole plethora of other issues. Birmingham were bought under significant debt in the last five years. 
 

An immediate impact? Less toxicity in the stands and even for those less vocal, a freshness about the place. 

 

Ryan Reynolds is nowhere near a billionaire mate lol they are getting towards the ceiling of where he can get them on revenue alone now. I think someone with his net worth would be deeply intimidated by taking a club the size of Leicester on

 

Not to criticise the job he's done there of course he's done wonders there.

There is going to come a point very very soon where we haven't enough money to run the club.

 

Unlss we raise 35m+ in transfer dealings this summer, the clues indicate that the business is insolvent imo.

 

Players wages, HMRC, mowing the pitches, paying the commercial staff, heating the restaurants, paying the leccy bill. All the normal basics of a business won't function without cash. 

 

Which means KP will have the choice to 

 

1. Dissolve the club. Close the whole thing down. 

2. Place it into adminstration - and it gets sold for them

3. Seek outside finance 

 

Judging by the amount of guests the club is schmoozing in the directors box each week, 3 isnt going to happen 

 

And if it is 1 or 2, a new buyer will get the club for next to nothing if it can pay for the day to day running - say 100m over 2-3 years. US VC Private Equity would be queuing up to buy finance it, even if noone else is.

Amusement of this being they still want Rudkin out, so they still want change and still know we're in the shit. 

Yet they support a millionaire ruining our club

I got booted from the undivided page. Page seems to be run by lost causes. 

Try the Leicester city football fans (no clickbait)  page instead.  The admin on the page there seems to get it. Still a few people on there that need convincing mind, but more people seem to be understanding on Facebook.

He isn't going to sell but he might do these things he had no intention of doing so, basically, just back the lads, yeah?

"Gave his life for this football club" is genuinely offensive. He died in a tragic helicopter crash outside the stadium. He boarded that helicopter thinking it was completely safe to do so, when devastingly it turned out not to be.

 

He didn't go to war and fight for the club.

I’ve yet to see a KPFC fan put forward an articulate argument. Everything they say is always the same drivel….

You paint a bleak picture there may friend, so realistically the best option is for KP to fold and we are sold off on the cheap.

 

So what happens with any existing debt, is that picked up by the new owners, how does this work?

I liked the idea someone posted a couple of days ago - get a load of Cambodia flags to wave inside the stadium.

Given how close Tops family is to the Royal family / ruling powers in Thailand, that would really hit home and hurt their pride.

Yeah I think that’s a bit too far personally

KPFC are a little faction who believe illiterate ex-players or Simon Jordan on TalkSport are "correct when they tell us to know our place". They turn up to applaud appalling footballers and a catch a glimpse of a man who barely attends and addresses them publicly once a decade. They twist the history of the club and put it down, rejecting reality. Any excuse is ready made then altered depending on the scenario.

 

Poorly thought out arguments are easily dissected and then dismissed. They are lashing out because they cannot control the narrative or accept their judgement was incorrect.

Neither is Rob Mac, he originally only wanted to sponsor Wrexham so he could do a Documentary and couldn’t afford to do that without Ryan Reynolds help
