This club is one of the biggest outside the top 6 in this country, and it's well known around the world due to the PL win and the FA cup win.

 

Lets also not forget, the owners/board and the club itself are partly to blame for the lack of attendances over the years, digital STs, membership to buy a ticket, ticket checks at away games, stopping you reselling or giving your ticket away (until a couple of seasons ago), the ridiculously outdated priority points system that hasn't been changed in almost 15 years, banning good lads for stupid reasons, banning people because their opinion doesn't agree with the club, banning people for social media posts ffs. All this have cumulated and ensured that a lot of lads have packed it in and never come back, as once people realise they can live without it, they don't return.

 

We should have a packed stadium every week, all the young fans should be going and looking forward to the next decade of having a ST, but this club stopped all that. Remember that when you're banging on about us being a small club, who can't fill the stadium, one who no-one wants to watch and certainly not buy.

We can be rightly proud of being the 6th most successful club in English football this century, but just as a distinction, we're not historically in that bracket.

You go to any other country in the world and we're known, we're a lot more known than teams like Sheff Weds etc. who are in my mind historically bigger. 

 

We're definitely in the top 20, especially after the past couple of decades we've had, we're not some minnow who no-one has heard of, they'll be suitors, which was my original point.

I'm in L1 and even there if there is any anti Top/ Rudkin chants that are swiftly moaned at.

I remember  it kicking off with the UFS boys recently  and at away games there were fisticuffs too.

 

Thing is the majority( and like it or not, it is a majority) dont want anything said about Top or KP partly because of Vicha's legacy.

 

Another hardcore will be the "Good times and Bad" andceill just see this as another transition back to the bad times where you carry on supporting the team no matter what.

 

You will NEVER change their opinions.

 

If your going to chant do ot en masses as you'll get a backlash guaranteed.

 

 

 

P.S Whatever you do DONT FVCK with the vichai statue.

 

 

100% nothing should happen to the statue. 

 

But the majority are not interested in any kind of demonstrations? It's not good news if true. There's no way anyone can justify tour club is run in a good way in any direction. Clueless owner, Clueless 2nd in command, no manager and starting to look like destination League One is the aim. Poor quality players that cost countless millions and taking millions in wages out each season. Where is the money coming from for next season?

 

You say about Vicha's legacy. The legacy is what's happening now. Your club is becoming such a basket case that the whole legacy is being wiped out. Yet the majority won't even say anything? 

 

If you get relegated it won't be easy to come straight back up. The slide can continue without a decent owner. Hopefully if it ends up in relegation people will start to come to their senses.

Agree completely. 
 

Fair play to your fans for not attending games when you were in Northampton and Birmingham.

What bank loans? Like I'm not saying there isn't any. Just not aware of any (Macquirie aren't loans). 

 

All I know of are the loans to KP that were written off and converted to equity

So you pay a high percentage on money loaned from Macquarie and none of it taken in advance is a loan? 

 

Has it been given to you? Do they expect it back? 🤔

Agree about being more known around the world than some of the traditionally successful clubs. I think top 20 is fair, but not top 10 overall.

We still had a few thousand turn up for the 'home' games but you struggled to get an away ticket. In one away game we were given over 7,000 tickets and they sold out within 3 days. 

 

It won't be easy, but if nothing is done there's no pressure (other than financial) for anything to change.

Macquirie don't loan. It's invoice finance. Basically the safest of safe bets. They basically pay an invoice straight away for you rather than a business waiting for the customer to pay. It's used in construction alot and Macquirie have profitably turned the concept to football. 

 

So, for example, instead of waiting for 3 x payments of 10m from Chelsea for the  KDH, Macquirie gives us 27m all in one go, and Chelsea then pay the instalments to Macquirie. 

 

I and others have warned and warned against cashing the parachute payments in for years.

Which makes it loans in lieu of future payments. You pay a lot of interest on these payments. Macquirie is a bank. Banks do mortgages and loans.

Yeah, we're just a small club in the midlands.

I just can't get over the 'Vichai gave his life for this club'. It's absolutely insane behaviour. 

It speaks volumes of the type of person that supports that type of KP propaganda…. Something left unplugged.

Propaganda or not it takes a special kind of supporter to watch their club only take 1 point from the last 6 games and see their nearest rivals 1 point ahead but 2 games in hand and the next nearest on the same amount of games but 2 points ahead and think everything is OK. 

 

League One isn't a walk in the park. It's hard to play football when your opponents are allowed to bully you in every game and their players always give 100%. Add to this the reasons why you're in League One. You do a Google search to see where the small town is that you will be playing but they then do the double over you. It doesn't take long before reality hits home if you don't go down in a strong position for League One.

It’s frightening how many people cannot differentiate Leicester City from King Power.

 

They think that you can’t want King Power to sell and support Leicester City at the same time.

And this is why you lot are antagonising and alienating the vast majority of fans from yourselves  , just because people do not agree with all your opinions , stand points or actions that doesn't make us KPFC or Happy Clappers like so many of you stupidly trot out! 

I have supported Leicester City Football Club since a kid in the late 60's.

Never have I supported my club just  because of who owners, Team Manager and Players were I always supported out TEAM,  irrespective, through thick thin and thinner!

Which is exactly the same as saying fans can still support the team whilst disagreeing with all the reactions and actions.

I’ve been there. I went home and away when we were in league one. That league one campaign will be VASYLY different to this, that’s if this even is a campaign because it’s likely we won’t exist. 
 

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.

Because they are scabs, not only do they facilitate this freewill but they openly encourage it - fingers crossed they fxck off with Top and all instead of hanging around like a bad smell

Wow!

What’s any of this got to do with the post your quoted? What @AKCJis true. People can’t separate the two and protesting is seen as not supporting the team. This is not something other fanbases struggle with. 
 

That’s not labelling people. There are plenty who confess to being unhappy with the ownership and running of the club but are adamant that we can’t protest as we must get behind the team. Thats who he is referring to. 
 

Those who hero worship the owner and won’t hear a word against him or hold him accountable are clearly on another planet but that is clearly to me at least, not what that post was referring to.

What do you not agree with? Do you seriously think that the current ownership is in the club's best interests?

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.

Heard these arguments when we were getting relegated from the Premier League.

 

All this mentality does is buy King Power more time. Standards at this club will never improve so long as Aiyawatt is calling the shots.

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

He’s never shown any track record of improving in any of King Power’s businesses. 
 

All three football teams have been on a continued downward trend, the horse racing does well to get a winner once a year on any worthy race and the main company, he got moved out because they were about to majorly default on a contract he agreed. 
 

If he personally had shown any record of performing well as a businessman, you’d have confidence he could turn around but he does. He’s atypical neobaby

Fortune regardless that was a club with significant obstacles which was still bought. I can point out plenty others such as Birmingham for example who had heavy debts and a stadium needing major infrastructure works, they were still attractive enough for someone to buy 

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.
