Agree with the 25 biggest clubs, but that could still mean we are in a Tier 2 play off position, but then “smaller” clubs can break the mould, as we have done against the “big 6”

 

Any realist would acknowledge our PL win was achieved during a perfect storm where all the “top clubs” had an off year. Albeit fans of other clubs fail to remember our title win included a clear points gap to second place.

 

We have had a bad season & hopefully won’t be relegated, if we stay in the division I don’t follow the doom thinking of an extended spell not competing for promotion to the PLfor a number of years.

 

I didn’t believe at the beginning of the season that we would go back up this season & it did require a 2 - 3 season complete re build to create a new team that had a good chance of then staying in the PL once promoted 

You believe next season we're gonna have a team good enough to get promoted and stay in the PL?

 

Or even the season after?

Trust took a position of highlighting this today (given the majority of members who responded to a Pulse survey said they were in favour of new ownership) and the Facebook comments are WILD!

Jesus Christ what a terrible day to have eyes

It's funny, isn't it? If you don't feel like the Foxes Trust represents you as a Leicester fan, then join the Foxes Trust and have your say. I think it only costs £10 for the year.

I was just interested to get a feel for our wider league performance over the decades based on a post from @Pliskinyesterday. 
 

Essentially we have been in the Champions League (or equivalent) once after the title win. The same amount of times (once) that we have been in League 1. Statistically exactly the same so anyone saying we should accept relegation to L1 but thinking we could qualify for the CL again is entitled is talking nonsense as both have happened once. We shouldn’t expect either. Both are freak events that we shouldn’t expect (CL) or accept (L1).

 

I had a look at how close we had been for both. I.e if we’d never come close to the top spots in the top tier but continually avoided relegation to the 3rd tier by the skin of our teeth I’d think the once in each stat was a bit misleading.

 

This is a quick look through our league finishes and this side of WW1 as it is a bit messy before that. There have also been changes to the amount of teams in a league so might not be entirely accurate but evidences enough what I was looking at.

 

 

Top flight top 5 finishes - so close shaves with the CL or would have if it’d had been a thing back when! 

2016 - 1st

2020 and 2021 - 5th x 2

1963 - 4th

1927 and 1928 - 2nd and 3rd 

 

So 6 x top 5 finishes in the top tier.

 

We have had a further 14 seasons in 6th-10th place so current top half PL.

 

Bottom 5 positions in tier 2 - to balance with the above top fight top 5 finishes. 

2008 - 22nd of 24

1991 - 22nd of 24 - survived due to league restructure 

1949 and 1986 - 19th of 22

 

So 4 bottom 5 second tier finishes to our 6 top 5 top flight ones. 
 

To compare with the 14 top half (6th-10th) finishes, I noticed 3 seasons plus the run from 2005-2007 finishing in the bottom 6-10 of the second tier. So 6 of these to 14 equivalently placed finishes in the top flight.

 

So basically, L1 and CL equally unlikely. But we have been historically more likely to finish in the higher positions in the top flight than the lower positions in the second tier.

 

Hopefully that can debunk the myth and propaganda peddled by KP that we should accept what we are seeing now and it definitely isn’t ’where we have always been’!

It's absolutely mental the way some of our own fans try and normalise this to defend KP. It's the sort of thing I'd expect Cov fans to say to us.

Despite all the doom and gloom about signings and overspending we’ve managed to attract some players on loan in the last couple of years that are talked about as being better than the club. If we can keep that up and have a sensible turn over of the players on the books, instead of overpaying wages to retain every player, then the right manager could get us into a healthy league position with entertaining matches. We have an opportunity at the end of this season, as we have had in past seasons, to get our house in order. Will it happen? From past experience, no it won’t, we just find out later about overspending and over paying in regard to league rules.

 

so yes, I believe we could have a team that could be good enough for promotion next season. Do I believe we will get one if the fan base keeps quiet and sits on their hands… no I don’t 

 

from what I’ve seen so far of Rowett as a manager, I’ve been impressed. Not that we’ve done everything perfectly but we’re now in a position that a win today could put us in a position where we have a couple matches breathing space before we get pulled back into the relegation zone. Yet, there is a lot of tickets still available. In an ideal world we could be protesting the way the club has been run before the match and cheering the team on during the match. Relegation this season would be horrible and I think the crowds at the stadium would be very small next season.

I’ve noticed the brilliant Leicester fan TV are at it again, asking fans if they would take those last decade as it has been to this point if we were offered it back in 2009……. Just panders to the KPFC fan club.

They’ve been attacked for that post by some notable Leicester-supporting journalists.

I didn't realise it was a trade-off.

Encourage everybody to get yourselves to this if you’re able. Please also spread the word to those who may not have seen it through here or social media.

I don't trust anything that calls itself a trust.

Without labouring on as well, I want my football club to have further generations looking forward rather than the past. 
 

Top’s whole justification for the retention of Rudkin is the same reasoning that saw the likes of Forest, Leeds and others hold onto the ghosts of the past rather than moving with the times. 

Not to mention he was **** all to do with that win too
