They bought Birmingham City because it’s a great location to build a sports village and NFL standard stadium.Looking at our situation 

Reading FC are probably the best recent example.The new owners there are having to chuck in a million quid a month to stabilise things.

Something never mentioned is that this will be the 2nd time this century that the club has flirted with financial ruin.If I was a potential buyer I would flag that up.

That point about Birmingham just backs us up as potential. We are significantly sized city which has no arena of any decent size.The land is already in the clubs name and doesn’t need buying. Birmingham had to make significant capital spend to even get their existing stadium safe. Dead money really if their stadium plans have an actual realism to them (as a former Birmingham resident, it requires a significant transport improvement from either a bankrupt council or a government strapped over project cash)
 

Good businessmen spot the potential and how easy it is turn it around. Leicester City has a lot of that going for it.

The fundamentals are all there, it’s just the capability lacking. A club with a a track record of top 10 finishes in League 1 would be buying at the low - even with any debt.

 

A big multi club model would look at us without a doubt.

This thread  is like politicians trying to win a campaign. They spend so much time slagging off the other parties they lose focus on what they want to, and can achieve.

Are you really trying to compare Birmingham to Leicester?

Leicester City Council are reluctant to grant planning permission on anything built over 6 foot.Let’s not even go there with their stance on extra traffic.

Leicester isn’t even the capital city in one of the lesser regions of the country btw.

There are reasons it couldn’t sustain an arena of significant size.

I haven’t compared Birmingham to Leicester? I compared potential. 
 

I have said that Leicester is a significantly sized city without an arena (they’ve already given outline permission as part of the clubs wider submission).
 

There’s a number of world class indoor sporting events being played at Riders Arena and De Mont’s line up of music/comedy which suggests a modern arena with the right people behind it would do well. That’s before introducing anchor tenants

Where was all this fan unity when the pro Rodgers/Rudkin/KP lot were spitting at those holding banners up? When they were filling in lads in the away end of a ground? 
 

We’ve been a fanbase split down the middle since you weren’t allowed to voice your concerns.

But, we will be in terrible shape if we go, god knows if we will even have 11 players to output. Anything worth selling will be sold just to try and keep the club afloat.

That's exactly what happened to my club and I wouldn't wish it on anyone else. Picking up free signings on a low wage doesn't make putting a decent side together easy, and when you pick up a player who does well they get sold to the first offer to pay the latest bill. We ended up in League Two because of it and were only saved by Mark Robins coming back to our club having made a deal with the owners that he could keep half of the transfer fees to replace the players sold.

I'm not and never have said there's not issues , however, the toxic atmosphere and fan v fan will not help the crucial issue of falling into League 1 this season will be catastrophic and mean it less likely they'll be able to sell even if inclined too! Survival needs to be the priority and backing the lads will be pivotal in that aim.

I'm a supporter of a club that went through similar in recent years and I'll tell you straight you can demonstrate against owners that are wrecking your club and back your players at the same time. 

 

The club becomes toxic from top to bottom and the players understand. But you would need to give vocal support to the players. No booing them off the pitch because they're not good enough as long as they're putting the effort in. They're not good enough because of what those ruining your club have done yet you seem to want them to have an easy time and let them continue to take you lower.

The post was not a personal retort it was highlighting differing opinions can and should coexist.

Imho helping the team to avoid the possible catastrophic implications of dropping into the 3rd tier this time is essential 

@Sky Blueshas said above this what I have said before which is that both can exist, holding the club accountable whilst helping support the team. If the players have anything about the, intellectually and morally, they will understand. Like Coventry’s players did and Sheffield Wednesday players knew that the protests weren’t at them. 
 

I’m not having a go at you. You come on here to discuss which is fair enough and I understand the point and the fear. Whether these players have it in them to perform if backed and cheered for 90 minutes I don’t think they would. The Southampton game the other day, they were heavily supported. There was of course nerves that probably transmitted from the stands because we have seen how mentally weak this side are. Ultimately, the players can control the way fans are in the stands through their effort on the pitch. Fans have little control.

 

The key point is, you say you agree with the the sentiment that has led to the protests in that you are unhappy with how the club is run and you are not attached to the owner or anything.

 

So what is the solution? Everyone could drop this protest stuff, back the team and due to what a weak bunch they are, we still go down. In the process, no effort has been made to address the real issue we have gone down which are well documented. Do we then ramp it up? Or go full in now and just accept that we are playing the long game in getting our club back to one we can be proud of and that is run sustainably, without the humiliation of a points deduction and being a laughing stock on the pitch also.

 

In my mind, it’s quite clear. Protests such as the one advertised are about outside the ground. It’s a march and then to meet outside. It doesn’t have to go into the ground. I’d argue if more people supported it, collectively the fanbase and those who are pushing for accountability and change would feel more positively that we are making progress and then the atmosphere that carries over into the ground might even be more positive.

Just seen this posted elsewhere from Piper. Great post from him. Essentially he is saying we need to be together and yes, back the team but that we need to together in the pursuit of change.

The last thing our club needs right now is infighting between the fan base 😔
The clubs in dire straits atm & us guys squabbling against each other won’t help! In situations like this, I’ve always found it best to come together on what we all do agree on-which is the club can’t continue operating in the way it is, if it does I can’t see it being in existence for much longer 😞. 

We’re divided because there’s a split with the thinking how that will be best achieved. My thoughts haven’t changed in the fact I think new ownership is the best option to guide us in a new direction with fresh ideas, energy, enthusiasm and away from this incredible multilayered mess we find ourselves in. 

However, all I want is the club to be stable and an enjoyable place to experience again, (doesn’t have to be titles & trophies, although that’d be nice!) players, managers & coaches that are proud to represent our club 🙌🏾🦊! With leadership that is consistent, strong and has a clear vision for the future, that we can all buy into.

I am incredibly thankful and full of gratitude for what King Power have done for our club over the years, Vichai delivered those qualities I’ve spoken about above and Top doesn’t seem to possess the same high level of leadership needed to deliver similar results. 

Which is understandable, Vichai and leaders of that calibre are rarities, hence the reason they can build global businesses or deliver Premier League titles to football clubs like ours. But Top needs to put his Ego to the side and accept he’s not his father (which is totally okay 💙) and surround himself with people who possess the skills he lacks. 

If he can do that, which is a huge ‘if’ I for one will be happy for the King Power group to remain and try and turn this dreadful situation around. I’m a very emotional guy (and can often lose my head on the radio), but I didn’t mean any disrespect or ungratefulness towards King Power after the last game at the KP. I love the club from when I was a little kid, it means everything to me, like it does for so many of the LCFC fan base and when it feels it could be slipping-not just down the leagues but out of existence- we have to fight for it and protect it 👊🏾 

But please people, not against each other 💙. We should be united as a fanbase and use that power of togetherness to influence the changes that will help our club thrive again! I don’t think we need to be divided about ‘Who?’ can deliver us that, more the ‘How!’ All I know is, we need action from the club and it needs to be quickly because not doing anything will only make things much worse! 

So Khun Top, If you’re keeping it, it’s time to show strength in your leadership and either lead now or delegate to others with the wisdom, experience and enthusiasm to move us past this mess, inaction at this point is just NOT an option! 

Personally, I’d like to see a small carefully selected fan group of well ‘balanced’ individuals that have the ‘Clubs’ best interest at heart (people who don’t just argue for arguments sake or boo/hiss at opposing views), empathetic, respectful, but also tough characters that will hold the club to account if /when needed, who work with the club at the highest level to bring about change in a positive way. I really like the 50+1 rule the Bundesliga operates with its clubs in Germany!

Anyway, I’m ranting now, which I didn’t want to do 😩 All I know is, I love the club and I don’t want to just sit back and see it slide out of existence. 💙

To be honest i just want them to employ a couple of decent board members and a new thought out manager with a long term plan and backing. They have invested 100 of millions into this club and I doubt that anyone will else will do this,

Trouble is getting the right people in seems to be a real problem for them and the signings on the whole have been dreadful.

Cant see what good a march will do, but everyone has the right to voice their opinions.

Be glad to see the back of all of these players and if someone wants to buy us then all well and good, but does anyone really think someone is out there thinking I want to invest 100s of millions into LCFC?

 

we won the prem with a squad that cost comfortably less than 50m because we had employed people with expertise in all of the medical and coaching areas, and the chairman trusted those in position to do their jobs rather than trying to interfere with how he thought the game should be played. We don't need mega money to get back to being a lower midtable prem side, which I think we'd all take at this point, we need a director of football who can negotiate his way out of an empty room, and to fill our world class training facilities with staff who can make use of them. That Aiyawatt will not put that in place is why he needs to sell.

[Skidmark]

Might have been better beginning the march in town.

That wasn't the point of the post, and we're certainly not that.

[Officer Doofy]

Ignore the weirdos who can't see or care what is happening to the club. Focus all energy on protest and engaging those that can. 

 

Seriously, they are all beyond help, they've been brainwashed by the KP cult and they don't have an ounce of self respect or ambition amongst them. 

 

Let them cry about it but focus on getting the protest as big as possible. 

[CosbehFox]

Interested how that back the team thing has gone down on ‘I’ve been to filbert street’ Facebook group. Loads of comments against Aiyawatt like the penny is dropping 

[CosbehFox]

Anyway, if you want to talk about a uniting behaviour this march has that ability. A couple of thousand would look very impactful and for the suggestions etc, it’s about getting a movement going

I agree but we’re so half-arsed about everything as a fan base. If we really care what happens to this club then we all really need to get off our half arses and join in.

Im not going to the game (gave my season ticket up 2 years ago) but im definetly attending the march as i still care about the club. The rot has been entrenched in this club for far too long and we need to act now otherwise we wont have a club to follow.

It sounds stupid and goes against what I've said on this topic but I think people have got to start wading into these Facebook idiots. Start calling them out, just commenting King Power out on their posts shows people that others are thinking the same way as them and slowly the ship start to turn.

 

Otherwise their echo chambers go unchecked and their stranglehold will never break.

That’s the spirit! I gave my season ticket up last week but I’ll be at the march and every single one of them until they do the right thing.

They just won’t back down though. Can spend all day trying to call it out and debate but in the end they just say the same things over and over. 
 

As a different side of the fanbase, we know the issues, we know what needs to happen, we will be in the right side of history.

I'm all for the protest, the more simple the better. Large numbers, loud voices, chanting, placards, banners. No personal abuse, no objectionable language or behaviour. The Vichai statue must be absolutely off limits.

 

I can't take seriously the anti-protest posters on Facebook etc. It becomes a contest among themselves about being more of a "real" fan. Similarly with podcasts etc that sometimes become more about the individuals than the subject. This is not about individual fans. It's about harnessing all the fans' growing dissatisfaction with the way the club has been allowed to deteriorate and the unabated free-fall, on and off the pitch. We shouldn't have to be protesting at all, but it's vital that the fans try, as a collective, to influence the direction the club is taking.

Opened twitter this morning to see a clip from The Rest is Football podcast.

 

Started with Gary Lineker saying (paraphrasing) "Now Alan, i've listened to you ranting and raving about Newcastle all season long but it's time I had a say about my club Leicester City..."

 

I'm thinking here we go, he's going to tell his massive audience about everything going on. This will be big. That podcast has tens of millions of regular listeners. 

 

Yet he then went on to give an absolutely pathetic "we were in League one once" and "if you told me we'd win the Premier League and FA Cup before relegation to League 1 i'd have snapped your arm off" monologue. He dismissed the wrongdoings of the ownership as a little more than a sequence of unfortunate events.

 

Wound me up a treat. It's extremely annoying to have someone that clearly doesn't pay attention to what is going on be the voice of Leicester fans on a platform like that.

 

What will it take for people like this to wake up?

"We were in League One once, you know."

 

"Yeah. Once. Literally once. One season."

 

Obviously we're not Man Utd or Liverpool, but neither are we Rochdale or Plymouth. Not being in League one is hardly something we should be astounded and delighted by.
