What quick wins could a new owner implement that would immediately win you over?

[Stevosevic]

Get the stadium expansion plans back on track. Key to long term growth of the club. 

[skinnydipper]

Communication and accountability instead of silence and blind optimism 

[Libertine]

Giving me a lifetime ban from the stadium.

[kingfox]

Get permission to build a bridge from the river soar across to the stadium.

[filthyfox]

A statue of Dudkin and free eggs to throw at it

[LCFCCKEANO]

Replace the seats in the ground

Rename the ground to something that is to do with the area 

Implement a data/scouting led transfer policy

Get rid of chang

If we go up, start progressing the plans to rebuild the area surrounding the stadium, can actually redo the stands if we get back to the prem

Removal of King Power branding (will be done anyway). 
A breakaway from BC Game for a sponsor who is at least somewhat credible. 

A statue of a former player or manager. 

Most importantly, the removal of Jon Rudkin. 

 

Add replacing the seats in the round so we don't look like Cov to that list too. 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

If they do go back to looking at the expansion along the line, I hope they revise the plans because imo the renders of what were proposed looked shit

[em9999]

A pay rise for all the hard working staff at lcfc 

[Stadt]

A proper CEO with football experience elsewhere.

 

For too long the executive structure at he club has had the chief exec completely siloed off from sporting decisions and the two are obviously interlinked. Man City sorted their boardroom out before they became what they are now. It was incredibly stagnant with Whelan in post (inb4 muhhh Vardy said nice things about her) for so long. Davies was completely overpromoted. We need someone that will instil high standards and make every function accountable - how long has the ticketing system been f ucked for? 10 years, 15?

 

Completely average owners are going to be big improvement because fresh sets of eyes aren't going to be loyal to dossers that have been here for 20 years, as if that's justification enough to still be here.

Statue of Vardy is such an immediate win, surprised KP haven’t done it. I know there is tension but if they could move past their pride it would’ve been a sure fire way to win people over last season when they still wanted to be here

[Spudulike]

A museum.

[SemperEadem]

All BC/Shame and king power branding out.

Pull down the Buddhist flags

Replace faded seats. 

Move the Vichai statue and replace with players.

Bring in fresh faces in the comms and media teams.

Re do the FAB completely 

Sack Jon

Re name the ground Filbert Way.

Card season ticket a choice for all.

Lower food and drink prices

[CosbehFox]

**** the diet Man City vibe off. 

 

Communication/presentation ASAP

I think anyone canny uses at least half of the land for some form of anchoring development such as apartments or similar, bit like Wembley now

I have a feeling I'll keep coming back to this thread...

 

Engaging with local businesses as much as possible. Getting Braybrooke on tap is such an open goal, falling that Round Corner or another local brewery would do. Leicester and the surrounding county is full of food producers, something that is a genuine point of difference between us and similar counties/clubs - a pork pie and pint deal would go down a storm. Plus there's the textiles heritage, Fred Perry still produce polos here so there's huge collaboration potential. Admiral, Wolsey, Gola were all established in Leicester. Imagine an Admiral shirt with Walkers, Caterpillar, Next or Dunelm as the sponsor?

 

The enabling works to ensure the ground can host gigs reliably surely wouldn't cost too much, or at least quickly provide an ROI. The stadium is hugely underutilised outside of match days, a big gig every year fills the coffers nicely. There are barely any decent places to watch sport in Leicester, why not turn the lounge into a good sports bar open 50x more often than match days?

 

Again Leicester punches above it's weight with sport, engage with the Tigers, County, Riders, Speedway, Selby and so on with reciprocal deals - the possibilities are huge, act like a club with the reach we have.

 

Listen to Mirwan Suwarso on the Business of Sport podcast, it's eye opening to the potential of what clubs can achieve. Obviously we're not situated on Lake Como, but we have lots of things Como never will.

Tits, lots of tits

[brookfox]

Move the positioning of the bunker on the 7th hole at Seagrave. Can't be doing the players confidence any good having it there given how hard it makes the approach play to the green. Absolute joke.

[BenTheFox]

As much as I'd rather the ground be named Filbert Way, I don't believe there is anyway we don't end up with a a stadium sponsorship deal wit them having the naming rights to the stadium. 

[SemperEadem]

So many tap in’s for them that the current set up feel they are above.

Not sure dogs are allowed in any football ground mate.

Exactly. It'll be lovely for the gorund to have a meaningful name but it never has had one and never will.

 

Any incoming owner will either want his name on that ground or to get a sponsor in.
