MikeyT Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 As long as they are doing what they feel is best for our club then that's all we can ask. They've put the money in like they said they would. They have improved the training ground and they want us in the Premier League, where we all want to be. Yeah course they are a business and want to make money, like ever person on the planet does, but if they felt that sacking Sven was the right call, then I'm behind them. I don't have to agree with them, but I know they did it for the right reasons.
seenitall Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Big change from how for instance Man Utd fans see their club - they are furious with the Glazers using it to raise debt and consider the club theirs not the owners - rightly or wrongly, that's how we used to feel at Leicester too but all of a sudden we are dewy eyed at these fellows because they have bought a handful of players, most of who wouldn't have come if SGE hadn't been here. I am sure they have ours (slightly after theirs) interests at heart and I'm sure they want to get promotion but so far they have not convinced me they have the first clue about running a football club - and as for their advisors? There isn't a person alive who thinks that chopping managers every few months gets you anywhere - I can ask a lot more than letting chairmen make huge mistakes because their hearts and wallets are in the right place - come on Leicester fans, where are your balls?
Babylon Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 We shall see.......... you on the other hand are entitled to air your 'blinkered, buying in to the message but missing the point' opinion - we were a play off team before they arrived - where are we now? You say others are blinkered but use things that happened before they arrived to lambast them. There is zero proof it was they who wanted Sousa in, that's purely guess work. The major contributory factor in your argument is the loss of Pearson, who quit lets not forget, he wasn't sacked. And that could have absolutely nothing to do with them. If they were pulling the strings at that time why was Sousa not backed financially until deadline day which was after their takeover. Maybe MM felt it was easier to flog us with a "name" in charge, that doesn't make it their fault or their decision.

But they haven’t been chopping managers every few months??
Babylon Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 It's just a view but it does have a ring of truth about it if you want to take the blinkers off Actually it's about as factually incorrect as you can get.
seenitall Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 :nono: But they haven’t been chopping managers every few months?? Pearson Sousa Erikson - sounds like 3 in 18 months to me, 4 when the new bloke come in -
Babylon Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Pearson Sousa Erikson - sounds like 3 in 18 months to me, 4 when the new bloke come in - Pearson quit, he was not sacked. And that happened at least 6 weeks before they even arrived. If you want to argue use facts, not made up information to make your argument look good.

So amazingly, they turned up and bought the club all on the same day - or did they start the wheels in motion 6 months to a year before?? They've been calling the shots for a while before Pearson left Id be certain of it - have you thought that perhaps he saw this coming and made a sharp exit? I know you so want to believe in them - we all pray they do know what they are doing but let's not get so up their arse that we believe they can do no wrong - I say they should become owners and bring in a grown up to run the club, preferably one who has been in football and has started shaving.

accessory Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 :nono: Pearson Sousa Erikson - sounds like 3 in 18 months to me, 4 when the new bloke come in - Pearson left because of bust-ups with Mandaric and Lee Hoos. Sousa had lost both the dressing room and the fanbase. If Sven had wanted millions to spend in January in order to make the play offs, do you REALLY think he would have been refused? Instead he waited until the summer so he could make decisions based on more experience of this league. The owners let the manager decide on which players to buy - a welcome contrast to their predecessor, whose constant interference undermined every manager he appointed.

People with the experience of Mandaric and Sven, you mean? Because they achieved soooo much during their time here..

Was just about the say the same thing but you beat me to it.. Is there ANY possible point in getting on the owners backs? Where does anyone think this might get ya? It's not as though they have done much wrong for Gods sake!

They've been calling the shots for a while before Pearson left Id be certain of it - have you thought that perhaps he saw this coming and made a sharp exit? But you don't actually know anything as fact do you, that's the point. I will ask again, if they were calling the shots why did they not back Sousa financially until after the takeover was completed? Sousa joined on the 7th July and we didn't really spend any money until deadline day with the signing of Waghorn and bids for Williams at Swansea turned down.
Jace Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Surely this guy can't be real? seenitall?? hasn't seen anything by the sounds of it, surely another WUM??
seenitall Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 People with the experience of Mandaric and Sven, you mean? Because they achieved soooo much during their time here.. Promotion and play offs consecutive years? What were you hoping for - the Champions League trophy?

Sousa joined on the 7th July and we didn't really spend any money until deadline day with the signing of Waghorn and bids for Williams at Swansea turned down. But neither do you - your only hope is that someone great is going to come and manage someone elses team and turn them into promotion candidates - the facts (and they are facts) remain that the Thai owners would have been involved with the club many months before they actually took over, without a doubt the process of buying the club would have begun at least 3 if not 6 months before it actually happened- Pearson left (I think) Sousa came in and was fired and Sven was then bought in and subsequently fired - how is this not fact and why does it upset you so much? Sure the boy wonder could be a genius at football chairmanning but also he could be inept for all we know - what is worrying is that because he smiles and has spent a few quid (which he hopes to get back - its not philanthropy you know) and has some 'advisors' that we don't even know about - he is a genius that will lead us to the promised land - we shouldn't be getting on their backs but we shouldn't be blowing them either By all means don't bite the hand that feeds you but you don't have to kiss it and insert your tongue!!

What Babylon has said is correct you are talking crap
Babylon Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 But neither do you Exactly right, but i'm not the one using guess work to slaughter the current owners am I? the facts (and they are facts) remain that the Thai owners would have been involved with the club many months before they actually took over, without a doubt the process of buying the club would have begun at least 3 if not 6 months before it actually happened But that's not fact though is it. You have no idea as to when they did, or did not start influencing things. Once again you have avoided my question. Pearson left (I think) Sousa came in and was fired and Sven was then bought in and subsequently fired - how is this not fact and why does it upset you so much? The fact these things happened doesn't upset me, what annoys me is people like you making shit up to try and win an argument. we shouldn't be getting on their backs but we shouldn't be blowing them either By all means don't bite the hand that feeds you but you don't have to kiss it and insert your tongue!! Shouldn't be getting on their backs, yeah because of course you haven't been doing that have you I'm not up any ones arse, what I don't like is people on here talking out of theirs making shit up.
