Whats Levien got against scots?

[Chandler]

Wasn't MON's own 'shaky start' alleviated somewhat by a few of his own signings?

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!!! You mean you don't remember how 'MON's shaky start was 'alleviated?'

Tut, tut. And you call yourself a Leicester fan!

It was a rhetorical question, as you well know.

Lisa m'duck you aint getting away with that one, no noo nooo! Obviously my little prompt has cleared your neural pathways (don't worry it happens to all of us of a certain age).

Your 'alleviation' post did not recall our infamous but glorious 'rebellion.' It couldn't have. You were so determined to get one over on me that you joined the 'Levein needs imports' rabble by overstating the role of MON's signings and overlooking what WE THE FANS did.

A bit of a shame that that old spirit is now channelled into thoughtless anti ground -share protests isn't it?

[Who ate all the pies?]

And how well those protests worked!!!

You know MON would have been nothing had not some of the fans protested!

The protest did shit mate apart from giving MON a nice excuse when he wanted to leave.

Let's not blow the role of the fans out of proportion, we're there to spend money and watch footy.

When you protested what did you really think was going to happen? Surely not that MON would get the sack...that's laughable!

[Chandler]

Mr Pieman you don't need to be one of the 'Dirty Dozen' to know that the rebellion worked. Just compare the results before and after the Blades game. Even MON himself admitted that it worked - although he was humiliated.

You see he had his own little rebellion in the dressing room shortly afterwards. His threats echoed down the corridors and into legend.

[Who ate all the pies?]

You're priceless

[Who ate all the pies?]

How well do you think it worked out then in the long run?

humiliate a legend...at least it didn't backfire!

How could he leave after fans (with no patience) protested against him and turned him into the legend he is now!!!

[Guest]

The Rebellion, as you refer to it, was directed more towards the board than at MON. I can remember arguing with some people over this at the time, saying that if MON could bring in his own players, results would change. With hindsight, I was right (see, you're not the only one), although giving MON a kick up the backside did mean he has moaned about it ever since.

As for anti-groundshare protests, it's either that or pavement parkers, take your choice.

[Chandler]

Fans who know the full facts behind events and participate in them are rare Pieman. That's what makes them priceless.

On the other hand Piemen who sell you regurgitate left overs are, by definition, CHEAP.

[Who ate all the pies?]

Ahh mate...you're upset!

Right don't you make a protest as that seems to work

Lisa, luv, you're making it up as you go along. The object of the protest was very much MON and the team itself. First there was the departure of Mark McGhee. Second there was a dip in form (this was put down to MON's defensive tactics and the team not repsonding culminating in the home defeat by the Blades 0-2).

In the views of many though the real catalyst for the demo and fraternal delegation was the sale of Julian Joachim to Villa for a paltry £1.7m. Those of you who with long memories (er very few on here) and who were around at the time will remember just what a sensation he was.

When he was in his pomp (at the grand old age of 18) he was the best thing ever to wear the holy blue. What a sad waste of a career...

[Who ate all the pies?]

But no fear because Chandler sorted it and created the leicester legend that is MON!!!

Let's face it fans really do have a massive effect when it comes to getting a team to improve!

Hence the constant chanting of "Sack the board", "Where's the money gone", and my all time favourite, you might like it, "Spend some fcuking money".

Obviously with O'Neill being a) not on the board, and B) not responsible for the funds at his disposal, I would assume that the protest was not 100% against him. In fact, some of us, shock horror, were backing MON.

Like Levein, he had to sell before he could bring in, and it was clear that Joachim wanted to be reunited with Brian Little, so it was no surprise he went, even if we didn't like it.

Having said that, you will probably now inform me that for the past 10 years, my water supply has been contaminated with LSD, or cannabis leaves mixed with the tea, thus rendering the past decade a complete waste of time seeing as I can't remember it the way you would like us all to.

You're getting desperate now Lisa. Your timelines are all confused. The 'Where's the Money Gone' nonsense peaked during the Brian Little era (although it rumbled on under McGhoo - I still have the stupid fanzines to prove it). The defection of McGhoo to the Moulinex and the capture of MON from Naarch meant that the Money Gone nutters redirected their ire away from the board and at McGhoo.

The fact that MON's decision to sell Julian proved to be correct does not alter what the fans reaction was to the sale at the time. This reaction was heightened by the derisory sum we received for him.

What astonishes me is how much of your memory of this time has faded. Don't you remember the valuation that had been slapped on Joachim? £4m at age 18. Regarded as better than Giggs (which he was). 'Paired' with Shearer in many newspaper line ups for the 1998 World Cup Finals. Runner up in goal of the season on BBC. Pound for pound a better all round player then than either Defoe or Sean Wright Phillips are now.

Lisa stop projecting present concerns on to the past. It's clear you have a hazy memory of this period. The other obvious fact is that you did not particpate in the events under discussion.

So please don't tell me what I saw and witnessed AT FIRST HAND outside and inside the Carling Stand with John Elsom and MON.

Dear oh dear, Chandler, Chandler, Chandler, you know sooo little about me, your assumptions make me laugh!

Did you not see Neil Lennon waving to us protesters from the Bradgate Suite, egging us on? No? Possibly my deluded memory has imagined it? Perhaps because I "did not particpate in the events under discussion", I have made this up?

Chandler, the only thing I'm desperate for at the minute is a crap, which coincidentally, you seem to talk a lot of.

...and you know even less about me, Lisa.

So, if you were there at the 'meeting.' Tell me

1) Aproximately how many attended it?

2) Who spoke and in what order?

3) What was actually said (and how was it received)?

4) What was hastily provided for fans to eat and drink?

5) Which LCFC players were present?

5) What were the remarks overheard by the fans on the way out?

Don't do a ring round Lisa. Give it to me quick...

Where did I say I was at the meeting?

I only mentioned the protest.

I thank you.

[Chandler]

And I thank you for your honesty Lisa. For the record the answers to the questions are as follows:

1) Around a dozen I would say - maybe a few more.

2) Main speakers were Elsom, MON and John Robertson

3) Elsom parried a number of questions about the incompetence of the board in the way they handled Little & McGhee's departure, the appointment of O'Neill and the sale of Julian Joachim. In my view his answers were OK but he bumbled and the fans were not impressed.

O'Neill was magnificent and admitted that the team's performances had been unacceptable and that this would change. Robertson added that he would try to get more effort from the players in training.

4) Nothing - trick question.

5) None - another trick question

6) We overheard MON berating the players. Words to the effect of: "When we get promotion I will take all the credit for it and the whole truth about this will come out!" (which it never really has).

Contrary to what some people have said the main purpose of the protest and meeting was to get MON the sack. That is why he had to meet the delegation -because his job was on the line. And that is why he was so bitter about it later (and why some of us are still in denial about it).

The main thing is though is that the protest and meeting WORKED. Mon's first 15 games up to that point (inc the Blads game) yielded only 16 points from 16 games (winning only 3). The final 8 games following the REBELLION gave a return of 19 points.

All the success that followed and even the magnificent stadium the teams plays in now all flowed from the glorious Spring Rebellion...

As I said in an earlier post, I did argue with people at the protest that MON was not to blame for the situation (I do know that some people will blame the manager regardless of what goes on behind the scenes), but my mates and myself were there to voice our dissatisfaction, and we hoped that the board would release funds to MON, as we believed he could do the job for us. This is not denial, but it was my view of events at the time.

I did try to get into the meeting, but I was in the wrong place at the right time.
