The morning after the night before

[ian__marshall]

Well, don't really know what to say... mixed emotions is probably the best description. Anger, frustration, sadness, acceptance, apathy, embarrassment, lost, numb; to name but a few. 

 

I'm raging inside this morning, but I'm fighting myself internally. Am I raging because of the complete ineptitude of the board and it's mismanagement of the club, am I raging because our proud history will once more be tarnished with League 1 football, am I raging because I feel completely disconnected from both the club and the morons who represent our proud city, or is it a mixture of all of them? 

 

The only way I seem to be able to comprehend what has happened is by reflecting, which keeps bringing me back to the questions; how did I feel last time we went down to League 1, and is this feeling any different? In all honesty, I probably did feel similarly. That was one of the lowest I've ever felt as a fan of our club but it feels wrong in some way to acknowledge this as the two scenarios are worlds apart. 

 

Last time we all knew it was coming, we'd circled the drain for years and quite frankly had no quality whatsoever. The players tried but they just weren't good enough. I was angry then because up until that point I was proud that we'd never played in the third tier, and suddenly the history books were being rewritten. 

 

This time my anger is a culmination of everything; poor attitudes, lack of effort, incompetence, denial, dishonesty, etc. from all involved; players, board, fans.

 

It's been apparent for a long while that the club is simply broken. The highs we never thought we'd experience in our lifetime have directly led us to this point. Delusions of grandeur, arrogance, hangers on, evolved identity (I.e. no longer the underdog/working class background). Parallel's to the story of Icarus. 

 

Looking forwards, where do we go from here? The future looks grim to say the least. Reality really hit me the other day when Coventry were promoted and the headlines were 'That ends a 25 year absence from the top flight'. It got me thinking that we too could conceivably experience a similar absence, and if that were to happen, the next time I see us play top flight football, I'll be 70!

 

Anyway, sorry to ramble not quite sure what the point of this post is other than to unload, however I'm keen to hear how everyone else is feeling this morning?

Yesterday was surreal and laughable but the anger has stirred up in me again today. I'm ashamed by the humiliation ritual of our fans CLAPPING that team off.

 

They don't deserve a football club, how are we ever going to oust this ownership when even the protestors throw softballs at Aiyawatt? When the owner is too thick to see the wood for the trees? If we're going into administration, I can't see a scenario where we don't, then get on with it, bring it on, there'll be a bit of hope again the day that happens.

[The Year Of The Fox]

Feels like I’ve got a hangover and I didn’t even drink

 

Boss is mardy, despite me ramming my anti KP rhetoric down his throat all season 

[adejo92]

Emotionless.

 

Bigger things to worry about like what shorts to wear today.

[Fox92]

It was coming in recent weeks but I'm still angry that we're now a third division club.

It is easy to write your anger, or let it out in the pub.  Harder when there is miserable looking little bloke in front of you looking like someone just kicked his puppy.

[Raj]

I couldn't bear it when we were winning 2-1 and everyone was w@nking themselves off at the thought of prolonging the agoony.

I was willing Hull on to win.

Glad it's over.

Im not even angry now- Feck em and some of the dimwit fans.

Hope we go down again.

That’s precisely what winds me up about Top.

 

I was there outside the ground waiting until 23:05, left because I parked at the Highcriss and it’d take another 25 minutes to drive home.

 

Wish I’d stayed so I could have said sell the club.

[21st Century Fox]

I was wired and seething all night.

It’s our club, these tossers just don’t understand that they can’t just generate more fans (or customers to them). We all started supporting the club because of some ethereal connection that goes beyond business models. They can’t just work on their branding and PR and expect to refill the stadium with new fans. We are the club. I think we’ve been pretty ****ing clear how we feel, yet they’ve time and time again doubled down and done the opposite. They’ve managed to drive the fan base away and actually kill passion and excitement within people. It feels like screaming into a void. We’re all here for a limited time and I don’t want to spend it not supporting the club I love.

One thing I've not seen too much of is that when Ricardo goes, we NEED to get the next captain right and has to be English without question...someone that gets IT.

[Brooksy]

Gutted and Angry.

 

The players actually putting some effort in pissed me off and seeing our thick fans clapping those twats off left me speechless.

 

The lot of em need to **** off

First ever time I’ve wanted the opposition to score - wining last night changes fxcking nothing - I didn’t celebrate the goals because it’s all meaningless - it’s embarrassing and makes me even more angry that the players turn up in the last 30 mins when it’s all to late when they’ve been absent for the last two years

what got me angry was the bouncing around of the bench at the late missed chances.... if we had won 3-2 it just longs it out to Friday even more. I am pleased this is over. Absolute shit show of a season

Tbh I don’t know why because I’ve been expecting it for ages but it hit me like a lorry this morning how bad it is - I really don’t think we’ll be in the prem for decades and I thought I’d become apathetic but it’s made me absolutely livid

Also p!seed me off to see only page, Lascelles and choudhury fronted up the fans - Ricardo has utterly disgusted me and I think they should of all gone up to those outside and accepted what they deserved - cowards from top to bottom

[CosbehFox]

Pissed off, angry. Even more seeing fans defend the ownership. Or make excuses like who buys the club next?

This 100%
 

I thought that I was at that stage in my life where football/Leicester doesn’t impact my mood anymore.

 

Yet, here I am, raging today and the fact that we will see no changes and “bad cop” Rudkin will be left in charge of this mess boils my piss.

Yep 100%.

NEVER would i have seen myself wanting an opposition to win.

 

I feel disgusted with myself but mostly towards the club.

 

[Chairman of the Bored]

Primary emotion is sadness. What we've lost and how we've lost it. Secondary emotion is surely this a wake up call for the club? If Top is staying, he's got to rationalise this, learn from it and take some positive action? If he doesn't then we're doomed to a long stay in the wilderness and may even fail to exist in the medium term.

 

 

 

[Les-TA-Jon]

I felt worse in 2007. I felt way worse than this with the DEENEY moment. 

 

But this situation is way worse than anything - this is the lowest point in the club's history and the most in trouble the club has ever been in.

You started by saying you don’t know what to say and went on to write the longest post in Foxestalk history   but agree with what you wrote

Idiot

[foxfanazer]

Is there a morning after pill for this kind of thing?

[Brooksy]

Seeing fans of other clubs saying its what we deserve for cheating and the treatment of Ranieri after our title win has pissed me off too. 

[stripeyfox]

don't care.

makes no difference to my life

 

Still got to go to work. still got bills to pay. Still got all the other crap to deal with
