Has cliff ginetta delivered a 'back the lads, rally the troops' style statement yet?

Where’s best to sit with least happy clappers loads around me in family stand P2 won’t be sitting there next season.

 

I mean apart from not going 

[Golden Fox]

This feels so different to 2008.

 

I grew up, and knew where Leicester sat in the scheme of things. We'd bounced between the top 2 divisions. We'd never won the big prizes, which was OK, but we'd won the League Cup, and had a 2nd place league finish & those FA Cup finals, and could look in Fossils and Foxes that we'd played in Europe. But I was most proud of never having been outside the top 2 divisions, as very few clubs could say that. And it felt like that Oxford United escape on the last day of the season was one of the biggest days in the club's history to preserve that.

 

Then the good times came, with MON, with the league cups and top 10 finishes and Europe. They were incredible, but still felt like we were in our place: just right at the top end.

 

So 2008 hit really hard. We'd gone outside of our place in the scheme of things, and had lost the big claim to fame that I could point to. I had a feeling of almost guilt that during my support, the club was lower than any time my Dad and his Dad had ever known.

 

But the journey since then... - to win the League for the first time. To see us play in a European Cup Quarter Final. To sit with my 2 sons watching the FA Cup Final on TV and us winning it. Now those were outside of everything we'd ever been and anything I;d dreamt of, but this time, the right way, and it sort of made the shame of playing in the 3rd tier irrelevant! It was like a full circle moment, to have been both worse and better than we'd ever been in such a short space of time.

 

So this time? I'm not upset about playing in the 3rd tier as we've been there and done that and I've made peace with us being at that level. It just feels like another dip on the rollercoaster. There is nothing like that shame. What I am upset about it the stewardship of the club. The lack of financial sense, the clearly disinterested players. The way they treat fans, and just the overall arrogance. (and the real possibility of going out of business). I never dreamt of feeling like this about a relegation, but if it means a wake up call and a chance for a reset and the club rethinking how it operates, and certainly to get those high earners out the door, then it might help me reconnect with the club a bit more. But that feeling of the World ending I had in 2008? - Not this time.

 

[Product of 84]

I want to pretend I don't care.  It is just football after all.

 

We all knew it was coming. I thought I had no hope left.

 

And then they tried. Thomas Scored and for 20minutes the hope came back.

 

And now it hurts. And I'm angry.

 

I went to bed thinking about it and woke up thinking about it too. 

 

You know its bad when your mates (who support other teams) don't message abuse but are you OK? Just checking in on you messages...

 

And although its normally 'fun' predicting the future, where we are it actually isn't. There isn't a player (we own) I want to build a team around. Yes the youngsters are exciting but they still need leaders. And that's the problem. Where is the leader we all respect? We haven't one.

Yes… but again, completely missing the point. You can’t compare anyone to us, because we’re like no other. 
 

How many ways can this be said, NO TEAM HAS EVER GONE INTO LEAGUE 1 WITH OUR OVERHEADS. 
 

Our position is utterly catastrophic. The only remedy is new ownership, and unless that happens now, we are ****ed. 
 

That’s the reality.

Sorry,but I'm quite aware of the severity.

We are deep in the proverbial.We will probably go into administration and get another points deduction along with another relegation.Once we eventually

hit the bottom we will be ripe pickings

for a prospective buyer,a good project

With a proud recent history. We will be back in and around the Premier league

Within 10 years.The journey will be incredible.Can't stand anymore seasons like the last four.

The only thing I really can't understand is how Rudkin is keeping any position at the club.Should be summary dismissal on the grounds of gross negligence.Top is equally

culpable or worse for allowing it.

Once these incompetent people are out our club, we can start the journey and we will be back.We are Leicester city.

 

 

[sylofox]

We had to put one of our cats down yesterday and I'm more hurt about that.

 

He will live in my mind forever.

 

 

These cvnts I can't wait to forget.

I don’t disagree with you, and unfortunately, it all hinges on new ownership/investment because Top and King power simply are incapable of doing so… the worst case scenario is we go bust, but of course that’s still the worst of the two outcomes.

No but I expect a "It's the fans fault" statement coming soon.

[lgfualol]

I’m just tired of this season and club at this point. Will take A LOT to get me to be enthusiastic about this club again. 

[Vestan Pance]

My over riding feeling is one of worry for the majority of people working at the club who are on normal wages just doing their job well, they have played no part in this, but may suffer the consequences of the actions of a selfish few.

The PL and the so called are big six must be delighted as our demise sends a shot across the bows of Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth  etc to what could happen if you dare to step up and don't stay in your lane.

 

We had a model and it fell apart, players wised up and just went through the motions of playing out their contracts to get a better deal for themselves when they moved on. We bought badly, offered ridiculous terms and  contracts to players just let us down badly. 

 

I find it incredibly hard to have much a connection to the team or the club these days, Professional football at the top level just really doesn't do much for me anymore.

 

I'll be there next year but a part of me thinks what is the actual point anymore, we're never going to match the revenue streams of the major clubs regardless of how well we do.

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

I was one of the thick fans that did, seen a team fight for a win, and going down fighting, rarher then roll over, and hoping we could put it off, l get the unhappyness, l am not happy, but l would have left the abuse, and boos, after we down, or leave it to Friday, not like some fans want to go down.

I don't want us to go bust but even if we do they'll be a phoenix club to support.

We are a one club large city and County.

Whilst football exists we will be part of it.

Real foxes never quit even if we are ruined

by incompetence. 

[Haywood_6]

Basically it's shocking and sad to see how far the club have fallen. It's the lowest point in our history for me and all my time supporting us

 

Simply put - We have too many overpaid players with not enough fight. The club as a whole has gone from having that underdog mentality that made us successful to being arrogant and complacent. 

 

It's going to be a long road back from here that's for sure.

I decided rightly or wrongly to go and watch a game in L1 last night because I didn’t want to to be pacing around at home, worrying about this game. We listened our game while we were trying to watch the one we were at. After being angry for the majority of this season, just before the final whistle, the anger went and the tears came. It actually surprised me but I guess it shows that I’ve always cared, even though it felt like I didn’t’. Drove the hour home in pretty much silence and when I did get home the anger returned big time. Absolute Phil Mitchell levels of rage. Let’s get these willy pullers out and get our club back!

I'll be a happy man if no-one ever uses that tired and meaningless phrase again.  Stop being a robot.

[ajthefox]

I'm fluctuating between fury, sadness and numbness. It's criminal what these morons have done to our club.

I'm sorry your night was ruined.

 

But these cvnts Top and Rudkin don't deserve your tears.

 

Top was probably laughing at some point while you was crying.

[JonnyBoy]

I have watched the video of him having a chat with a fan a few times now, it is genuinely catostrophic how this man is in charge, he literally doesn't have a clue whats going on, no idea how we got here. Just genuinely on another planet it seems. It makes me so angry 

 

incredibly concerning for the future of this football club. We genuinely might not have a club in a few years

I quite like it sorry if it offends you.

I like it because it was pre king power

Who over wrote it with "Fearless" now that was "robotic".

But we are all entitled to our opinions

so if you are a happy KP clappers so be it

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.

It will 100% be Choudhury as captain and Thomas as vice-captain next season

 

Not sure if they are any good with computers tho…

Hardly going down fighting. 20 minutes in one game doesn't count.

Our model didn’t fall apart. Top changed the model and the new model didn’t work

Thank you but I couldn’t care less what they deserve or don’t, I was crying at the slow painful death of my club. Months of built up frustration and anger finally released, I guess. I refuse to let these twats stop me fighting to get our Leicester back. 

[SemperEadem]

Exhausted by it all, need a break from this club for a bit.
