Yes, I've renewed.  My kids still want to go, and we like where we sit, and the people around us, who've also said they're renewing.  

Same and for the same reasons - can always cancel the direct debit if that changes.

The hospital donation was only something spoke about once Vichai died and we have since been told they had to ask for it several times. 

 

Hell of a lot of revisionism goes on after the helicopter crash. 

Precisely. A hell of a lot of revision when you look back at actually how the club was run from 2010 onwards. This is why it is BS when KP are given credit for the achievements.

 

Bought us in 2010. Promptly get rid of Pearson for successive big name appointments. Anybody with football knowledge and a plan would have looked at the 2 years up to the takeover and not messed with it. This delayed our return to the top flight and upon getting promoted, gave us a tag of cheats due to the financial settlement with the EFL. As sure as anything in football can possibly be, Pearson would have got us promoted sooner and on a lower budget based on how he (and his team) turned things around in their second spell. Yes Vichai admitted his mistake which is a trait his son does not have but that’s it. 

 

Pearson departure and Ranieri appointment. No issues with Pearson going. They respect (their own at least) culture and Pearson is a family man so parting ways was needed. Anyone though who tries to suggest the Ranieri appointment was anything other than another big name in the absence of again, knowledge of football, is lying to themselves. He was a big name brought in with safety in mind. What he achieved was miraculous but not evidence of a strategy/plan/footballing knowledge on the owners account. 
 

2016/17, 2017-18, 2018/19 were 3 successive seasons where managers were dispensed of with us in or close to the relegation zone. The first 2 under Vichai.

 

It was always build on sand foundations and likely to come down. Yes Aiyawatt has accelerated it and taken it to a new level. But let’s not pretend Vichai was a footballing genius. They way people go on about how they (KP/Vichai/Aiyawatt) ‘won’ us the league is nauseating. It is like it was them keeping Kasper/Simpson/Huth/Morgan/Fuchs’ clean sheets. Or they were dominating the midfield like Kante, turning defenders inside out like Mahrez or scoring Vardy’s goals….

I am in no way ungrateful. I think that credit has been over exaggerated and led to being the reason the fan base won’t speak out collectively now like they have in the past.

 

Rant over but no one backing team can even put together a coherent sentence in defence let alone a novel

Reckon I might try to pick up a couple of season tickets for next year. Not sure I'll have enough "points" though. 

You'll be fine. Genuinely think anyone that wants one next season will get one even if we stay up. Membership numbers have evaporated since we became really crap and you can just get tickets forwarded to your email address without a membership.

Absolutely spot on. Been saying all of this. You missed out the part where Ranieri was about 11th choice. We know of at least 6 managers who turned it down that season I think. 

 

Our owners were actually hated by the football world until the crash because of what they did to Ranieri. That sacking I actually agreed with, but to try and pretend we had these owners who were loved because of free donuts and the title win is just not true. 

 

The crash happens and then suddenly, as goes on a lot when people die, just the good things get focused on.

 

But anyone analysing all of this can see this wasn't some mastermind behind everything. It was a perfect storm. We couldn't have done it without their money but the way they run the club was extremely negligent at times and we are seeing all of that and more now.

Is anyone claiming that Vichai was a footballing genius? Multiple players have stated it was the things he did behind the scenes that we are 100% not privy to, the most they have said is the way he promoted unity and looked after the families 

[Claudio Fannieri]

At least one positive is the club using Page and Jakub to promote the season ticket sales imagine if the likes of JV, Ayew, Bobby et al had been used 😂

Probably whether there's a day release carer available to bring you.

Absolutely.

 

And it seems that one of the remaining defences is the charitable side. Two things here.

 

It’s all relative. To billionaires, what they donated is probably no different relative to wealth than you or I sticking £30 in to someone raising money for a charity when doing something like a marathon. It’s generous but not worthy of timeless praise. And if I had committed £30 to someone and the had to be chased for it, that would make me not even generous! If what you and others have said is true of course about being chased for it.

I’d say all the fans who utter the words ‘they won the league for us’ are yeah! 
 

This was not intended to pull him apart by the way. I’m sure that the culture was better at that time (although our players had a reputation for throwing managers under the bus so that’s not great culture wise). These players were given huge salaries and gifts like cars after the title won though so they will of course be bias.

 

It’s just to point out that we were never fantastically run. If a Brentford or Brighton went and won the league or a cup, you could point to the strategy at owner level that makes them well run. We lived off some high transfer fees, from the Pearson/Walsh days and then Puel/Macia. And frittered it all away to end up where we are. The managerial appointments dating back to the start of the ownership show a lack of cohesion and lined up thinking/planning.

One of the most confusing info releases they have ever done. 

 

An article a week ago mentions 29th April as a deadline. Then a week later it's the 20th April. It's not very clear, there is a distinction of non-DD and DD payers. 

 

I don't want to needlessly speculate here but there's suggestions they really need the cash here or the guarantee of cash. 

 

Any sensible business after failure would just send that deadline back a couple of weeks. Only have to look at the recent new Brewdog owners how they are going about trying to regain trust. 

 

On top of that just noticed a new season ticket holder could be paying anywhere up to £834 for a League 1 football or PSR squad restricted Championship football. Make it make sense. 

[Angus Scott]

I notice next season they are selling season tickets for the "first floor", which I assume is the Keith Weller Lounge.

 

I tried to get a couple of season tickets in there 3 or 4 seasons ago, but was abruptly rebuffed as at that time they were using it for hospitality only & existing season ticket holders. This season it has barely been half full, hence I assume why they've now opened it up. The last time I went in there (the QPR cup game), it was awful, seats wet through, 30 minutes to get served at the bar.

 

They are charging £1300 for new season ticket holders next season. You really couldn't make it up

When can members enter ballot for ST anyone know?

I went on the very top level of hospitality a few weeks ago and that was shit so can imagine it being wank lower down

I'd be very surprised if demand exceeds supply going on the number of people now leaving well before the game has finished

It's a hell of a lot easier to treat players well when everything's going well too. 

 

Wonder how many in the last few years have had meals with the owners and great stories of team bonding to tell.

There is nothing wrong with this btw - but I think this represents a large portion of our fan base, it’s a day out rather than a passion isn’t it? 
 

 

I think we have a really passive fan base that will fill the stadium next year, atmosphere will be awful for years and Leicester will decline even further I fear

Trying to find this clip on a different platform but Marc White, of Dorking Wanderers, talking about how business/football clubs constantly have to evolve. Exactly what we’ve need and exactly what we haven’t done

They did ZERO coverage of Non League Day 

Yep.....A great chance to get the people who wouldn't normally go to see a non league side (Free entry for LCFC  ST holders/members).But i suppose it doesn't benefit KPFC!

Love watching his videos.

Doesnt take himself too seriously  but obviously  knows what he's doing and is no smuck.

 

Would LOVE a character  like that at lcfc who was half a decent manager too.

 

Instead we just gets the production line spineless characterless dress we have had and have now

It's been like this for years though, it's not a new thing. I've moved now but where I used to be I had people behind me that used to talk about work during the game. There's always been people that "meet up", so to speak, for a game and it's not just at Leicester.

 

Football now is marketed/targeted at a variety of people, the passionate fan is not a reflection of a football ground. That's why there's so many day tripper people everywhere. Every club is the same but we only see it more because we support Leicester and don't go to other clubs games.
