  1. Didn't look anywhere near that. Edit to clarify - it looked much less than that.
  2. The thing is, Top can take us further - much further. The only issue is that the direction he is taking us is less than ideal.
  3. Another Rudkin masterclass. £23m for transfer £75,000 per week (so roughly £3.9m per year) 137 league games Scoring record for each season at Leicester (league goals): 5, 4, 7, 1, 5 Nothing was recouped as his contract was let to run down. So roughly £1.2m per league goal. Good riddens. Shocking signing. Plenty of nice people in the world who "try their best". But that's not what we paid for.
  4. Local girls' teams wouldn't have a team to follow and go and watch. And have the opportunity to see female superstars playing for the likes of the Arsenals and Man Cities. I guess that would be the saddest part.
  5. Didn't appreciate just how bad our women's team is too. Let's hope they scrape through here. Could be the end of the team if they go down.
  6. The short answer to the opening question is yes. Partly because there are so many variables in the wider, global economy and, ultimately, our financial security is closely linked to that of KP. The near collapse of the entire KP business last year isn't a secret and the pressures on their business models continue. Without Vichai, there has been very little diversification of and/or clear vision for the business – even after the shock of Covid-19, when most businesses in the sector identified it as a priority. The KP executives/the wider family recognised where the issue is and that's why Top got removed as CEO and put in his box last year, effectively removing him from all decision-making in the wider business. Ironically, one of the KP divisions that has been making money is King Power Racing – ie. the horses. But to put that into context, the amount of annual profit it makes is roughly the same as Winks' wages in a month. We think it's grim for LCFC – and it is. But the financial issues are wider and deeper and reach far beyond what those who work for the club can control. This, however, doesn't excuse the terrible mis-management and incompetence within the LCFC executive team. The horse racing business is an example that, with good and competent people in charge who know what they're doing, the different divisions of KP can (and should) operate successfully.
  7. I'm not. Have seen Millwall a few times this season and they are punching. Never going up this season.
  8. Plenty of them on the Facebook pages. Go and have a look. Honestly mate, it's weird.
  9. Says it all. Can't even get that right. Honestly. It's so bad it would be funny if we wouldn't care so much.
  10. **** that. **** the "integrity of the league". **** the senior pros. What we need is to think about LCFC first.
  11. I saw the topic of this thread and thought it was one of our Zambian fans questioning why his stream had stopped working.
  12. Now you're talking. What could possibly go wrong!! #LetsDoThis #BackTheLads
  13. Everton is such a funny club. Should be a constant top 6 club – great history, huge fanbase etc. Could genuinely be a big club. Yet, they're known as the turd that won't flush, having achieved nothing but a succession of near-escape survival acts for the past 30 years.
  14. I know what you're saying, but I really wouldn't credit anyone at the club - literally no one - as knowing what they are doing. Think what we've seen since Vichai passed as proof of that.
