Leicester City Phoenix Club

[Foxin_Mad]

To be honest the way football is now, you lose everything about the club if it folds, im not really interested in a club that isnt the club I have shared many great times with, and some bad, suppose it would be like losing a friend, would just have to learn to cope.

I agree with you.

 

As a Leicester Fan that moved away, I support the club from where I was brought up.
I support the team that were the first team I supported

I heard my first swear words in the Kop at Filbert Street

I queued up around filbert street for Wembley

I witnessed my parents and school fall out over me having the afternoon off to travel to Old Trafford to watch us get thrashed in the cup and still loved every minute of it

 

A new club would just be a new club, if I was going to adopt a new club I could just move my support to a local team, but my History is with Leicester City regardless of the turmoil we are currently in and unfortunately it always will be


I also feel that the players don't have the passion they use to which is why we are being desensitised to football, even Rowett said relegation hits the fans harder than the players - I just don't think many modern footballers have the fight in them

I think I agree with you, but I'm not sure. Are you saying you could give backing to the idea of a phoenix club, or it just wouldn't be Leicester City and have the history that you associate with the club, and therefore it's a non-starter for you, i.e. rather support no-one than FC Leicester Rovers?

To me it'd be the same club. I'm sure Rangers is to Rangers fans and Fiorentina to Fiorentina fans. If there is a phoenix club and it's recognised as the successor it will be to all intents and purposes Leicester City. Its history will be bound to the current club and even of it doesn't inherit the accolades, which it may, it will be the moral owner of them, much like AFC Wimbledon is now (a fact complicated in their case by the old club still technically existing).

 

Unless you're too bothered by the legal ins-and-outs of when a business itself was technically founded, it'll still be your club. Key names from its history will be there in the rebirth. The colours, the fans, maybe in time even the stadium will be the same.

 

For those of us who say football is about the fans, not the business, or say it doesn't matter what league you're in, you still support your team, then here's a chance, perhaps, to walk the walk.

 

And, on top of all that, it would be something totally new, a fascinating journey and a chance to get things right we once got wrong. It will generate unprecedented excitement and coverage for non-league football and, best of all, may even be a quicker path back to the big-time than wallowing for years in the lower leagues under Top.

 

It's not what I want to happen, but if it does, I'm totally up for it.

Can we have a speed trap outside the clubhouse that triggers a lights and sounds show? Should get the punters in.

 

'It's the Phoenix Club! Pull off into paradise!'

Interesting comparison given their owner died this year and his son has taken over.

I'm still struggling with whether it would be the same club for me. If it happens, hopefully I'll sort it.

I'm saying I could not support a phoenix club because the passion was imprinted as a child to Leicester, so I would effectively end up supporting no one

 

But I have moved away, so it may be different to people still living in Leicester where the phoenix club is at least still there local club

Yes, I do agree with you. That's where my mind is at the moment.

I don’t think the fanbase has either the fight or stomach for one. You look at how hard the Foxes Trust are having to bust balls to grow to 1000 members.

It's incredible how people have long memories where they want and short memories where they want. 

 

Succession phoenix clubs occur because simply the club has normally disappeared and there is a natural succession. 

 

Any movement to create a second club now would be a split - you'd have the directors of LCFC with those who can't stand the thought of pulling themselves away from it and then those fans what believe a football clubs is a community (this is very sadly a dying minority). 

 

I've racked my brains hard and long where the split originates in LCFC fans and I think I cracked it. The split is defined by those what think a football clubs is a community & everything has got lost in the modern era v those that are happy with the status quo of what football has become. The trophies won give the latter justification to be that way which is at odds with their earlier life. The game changed, they changed and they wouldn't want to admit they actually prefer it now. These scenes of toxicity are throughout LCFC and football's history. The boos and dis-satisfaction is football. It's just not the newly packaged, squeeze clean. 

 

We are going to be the first club of many where by the new style fan outweighs the old style fan. Thatchers legacy finally fully flooded football clubs.

It will be a new club, will not include any of the history of Leicester City, start from the bottom of the football pyramid.

 

Have no affiliation with Vardy, Lineker,  Weller, Shilton, Kante, Wes Morgan, Izzet etc....

 

FC United have stalled after early progress, and it would be similar with any Phoenix LCFC. 

 

It's taken FC United 20 years to reach the Northern Premier League. 

 

I would never support this club, and would most likely be dead before they get to league 1.

Agree, this phoenix club would be nothing more than a name. Not that I give a sh1t what happens to Leicester City now.

 

this is just my opinion and no offence to anyone looking to be involved with said phoenix club

Rangers, AFC Wimbledon and Bury would disagree for example

A Phoenix club is a succession of the previous club. Rangers, Bury and AFC Wimbledon all adopt the histories of their previous club. 
 

FC United is a protest club. They’ve actually been in non league step 2 and got their own ground. I’d suggest that with crowds of 4K and a number of community schemes is actually very impressive. I also don’t think they too fussed going much further as they don’t want the effects of TV coverage and professionalism.

I’m sure it’s for some people, which is up to them. It’s not for me. The only reason I still support this club is because of my history with it and loyalty, if this club ceases to exist all of that kind of dies. My dad took my to a Leicester City game at Filbert Street. It would probably be more beneficial for me to back a local smaller club personally but it would never be the same. Football isn’t what it was in the 90s or early 00s for me.

This is where my head is at really.

 

I’m detached from them as a group of players and as a club currently.

 

Reality is, I feel like I’m watching as a neutral at times now.

I just don’t see how a succession club isn’t a continuation as per what’s happened with Rangers and AFC Wimbledon. The clubs have assumed the history as the right for continuation. This has happened repeatedly within English football with examples such as Leeds City and Middlesbrough
