Fox92 Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 Just now, Fear Of The Fox said: Alright. You all have a legit point about these teams showing more fight in a relegation battle. I don't disagree. My initial argument was the way the fixtures are spread the last 3-4 weeks of the season. I can't find any logic behind the fact we're playing Mondays after all the other teams in the relegation scrap and especially when some of them are playing against teams that are actually on the beach. This was my actual point and my conspiracy theory of frustration follows it. It is what happens for TV. Similar to title challenges. We never played the same time as Spurs, for example, in 15/16.

It's not even the Premier League pill, it's the top flight pill. And yes I've swallowed it. My perspective is this - the Championship is a horrible, shitty bunfight of a division where losing two games drops you ten places and winning two games makes you a contender for the play offs. The teams there are mostly the ones that the Premier League chewed up and spat out or the few who have never quite made it since the 60s ended. It's a place where you lurch into obscurity and change your manager twice a season. Very few clubs are stable, on or off the pitch and for 8 years I've enjoyed us being stable. That's the only perspective to have. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 I think the majority of fans of any club want to see their club with the best players possible, up against the best teams in Europe. I get that lower league football can be very enjoyable, but given the choice you'd much rather be at the top than hoping to get there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to sound a bit twatish, but I find normally that those who would be happy to play championship football fans, are fans of Leicester City, and solely Leicester City rather than a football fan if that makes sense? So to some it doesn’t matter what league we’re in, they will just get behind the team (which I’m not knocking in any way). What has pissed me off more than anything, is that we are in this position due to pure negligence and nothing else…. You don’t win the premier league, FA cup and get into a European semi final by being shit. It’s unacceptable to be in this position, and I’m frankly ****ing fuming, and I will not be happy at all if we get relegated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id much prefer going to plymouth away over man city but being overseas it makes it impossible to follow. even radio commentary is blocked. It’s going to be a big disconnect. It’s a few years away for me still but the thought that i might not get my lad into leicester because he can never watch them, absolutely ruins me Edited 14 May 2023 by Lambert09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that lower league football can be very enjoyable, but given the choice you'd much rather be at the top than hoping to get there. Given the choice, I’d much rather feel close to a club that wanted me to feel close to it. The beauty of lower league football is that everything goes tits for men with money - leaving the club back in the hands of those who actually care about it. It’s the lure of non-league, it is the affinity of supporter and club being one. This isn’t. The Prem isn’t. It’s a monolith of exclusion where everyone is nothing more than a customer paying for next season’s grossly overpriced tat from a Far East sweat shop and 3% lager poorly served from a minimum wage zero hour couldn’t care less employee. Anyone who is happy to sell their soul for that - fair fvck to them - some of us aren’t. Some of us want football back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans here are mourning the fact that we went from being 'the best of the rest' to relegation fodder. Relegation confirms that, but in a lot of ways relegation is a bit of a red herring - we've already seen that transition happen under our noses. Whether we stay up or we go down, we require a big reset, we are long way from the team that was playing great football, scalping top 6 teams left right and centre, making shrewd signings, challenging for Europe etc. I get that is a bit reductive, and there is still a big difference between rebuilding in the championship vs rebuilding in the prem. But I would maintain the most damning thing is that we are due a rebuild in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 14 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 14 May 2023 I'll be going if we go down and did before we were promoted so definitely not somebody to be high-horsing at but doesn't mean I don't find the management of the club at all levels in the past 18-24 months to be anything close to acceptable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fox_up_north Posted 14 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 14 May 2023 It's, as similar with the 5th place finish, more the manner of the relegation. You look at some teams that have gone down over the years and and they just gradually got worse. We're a decent side. Mid table at worst. Yet we've just absolutely fallen on our arses. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 14 May 2023 Share Posted 14 May 2023 I just find the manner in which we are dropping, depressing. Poor quality is marginally acceptable if there is desire and intent, from board level to on the pitch. It's the lack of desire, intent and care which depresses me. It means I can't identify with my own club—there's nothing to hold on to, and be proud of at the moment. I'll always support this club, come thick or thin. My concern is a) it doesn't feel like our club right now and b) the financial repercussions of our own stupidity when it comes to finances (e.g. the loans against future PL money). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetstonefox Posted 14 May 2023 Share Posted 14 May 2023 Think the club thought it could just ‘wing it’ this season, you can’t do that at this level and expect to succeed. I’ll be there next season, whatever league we’re in, but we appear to have just thrown away our premier league status in the most casual of manner and that’s unforgivable. I’ve watched a few AFC Hinckley games this season , it’s a good day out and you can just appreciate the effort and a little skill, but ultimately LCFC is my club and I just want them to be the best they can be. Plus we have no devine right to come back , sure Sheff Weds thought they’d be back and 23 years later they are stuck in league 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all his faults, Rodgers was correct when he said that the squad badly needed a refresh. It seems he was told he’d get one last summer but then the club decided we couldn’t afford it and that we’d have to muddle through this season with the same squad and rebuild this summer instead. That decision has backfired spectacularly. So a decision that was made to keep our finances in order is about to blow a massive hole in our finances. An enormous act of self-sabotage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s worse we decided there were funds to bring in players in Jan and - if you believe the Leeds journos- were willing to offer 100k a week to Harrison to sign on deadline day. And now think what the financial cost of rebuilding in the Championship will be with 1/3 broadcast / commercial revenues. Shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
