James said: Ok, you've just set out a few of the classic reasons that businesses fail! 1.Delegating too much to the wrong people. 2. Poor communication 3. Poor cash flow due to unknown reasons probably over/poorly timed investment and unforseen events (KP downturn due to covid) 4. Delay/inability to make difficult decisions. The points you make are valid but if true they do not indicate a good businessman in fact quite the opposite. Vichai was criticised by many for his swift disposal of Ranieri but his decision was that of a man used to making tough and decisive business decisions, and taken in the best interests of LCFC. Ps. I can tell you from personal experience that working with a father who is a successful businessman is absolutely no guarantee of the future success of an offspring, in many cases being brought up in a wealthy household has quite the reverse effect. Since Top took over we have finished 5th, 5th and 8th and won the FA Cup suggesting that Top is useless when he has been in charge and precided over this success is just plain wrong. Yes we are going through a tough time at the moment but every club does at some point no matter how well run they are circumstances come about that cause problems. The big question is how he gets us out of this situation. If he does then it shows that he is perfectly cabable and knows exactly what he is doing which I'm sure he will and does. If he doesn't then is the time to critisise at the moment there has been no proof that anything they have does is wrong.

The_77 Posted 8 September 2022 Share Posted 8 September 2022 We played such great, high-intensity football when Rodgers took over, then he admitted he toned it down when we had to cope with European football added to the schedule. Maybe he forgot to turn the dials back up to ten. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestan Pance Posted 8 September 2022 Share Posted 8 September 2022 This could turn quite nasty if we don't win at the weekend, fortunately Whelan et al have never been in a position where the fans turn against them, I can only assume they're underestimating the fans reaction and the situation as a whole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question on my mind is the social media black out from the players........is it that they're embarrassed and just wanting to get heads down in training..........OR told the club to go **** themselves when it comes to posting generic shit 'thanks for the support' captions? ...I suspect the Tuchel and subsequent Potter situation scuppered the club's plans!!!

filbertway Posted 8 September 2022 Share Posted 8 September 2022 In a usual season I'd expect the squad to be picking up 12/18 minimum from the next 6 games. If we win on Saturday and the crowd are clapping along like mindless idiots and it prolongs that. I very much doubt we'll pick anywhere as many points up from some very favourable fixtures. I'm down for backing one more loss which hopefully generates a lot of vitriol. Surely it'll be enough to pull the plug. If it's not then pressure really needs to be cranked up massively on the execs and board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time one of these types of stats came out and we weren't bottom? We are consistently at the bottom of these or not even on it at all - when it comes to the individual stats (most pressures, dribble success rate, duals won etc.) we're lucky if we've even got one player on them. I know stats can be misleading but in this instance they feel pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the board have underestimated things. It will cost a lot of money to sack Brendan, so they’re probably hiding their time and thinking of a contingency plan. However, there’s a shred of hope Brighton may come in for him. He would be up for the gig I think, and I think he’s a manager Brighton would be interested in. I think the board have decided he is going, it’s just a case of when. We’ve scuppered ourselves somewhat with the ludicrous contract we gave him, but there’s no way they’re all sitting pretty… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, King Power are Duty Free Shops mainly at Airports so the Pandemic curtailed travel for quite a while, plus being based in Thailand meant they probably had stricter restrictions.

I was delighted he chose that team against Brighton as it basically guaranteed we would be walloped and that was going to be the back of him. How much does it take? Villa will never batter us at our gaff, so if the game is close, maybe the match going fans won't be voicing much disapproval and it just goes on. I don't know at this point mate. I can't even back myself to back the man though, he's despicable. I swear the only games I've actively wanted us to win since March 2021 are Newcastle at home (lost 4-2 to Steve Bruce), Spurs at home (Lost 3-2 against a team with nothing to play for) and the FA Cup. I really want to get back to wanting my team to win, but I just don't feel it at all while Rodgers is in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
