indierich06 Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 Foxes never quit, isn't that supposed to be our motto? Yet the majority of people on here are rolling over, terrified at the idea of having to play teams like the mighty Bournemouth, West Ham, Everton, Leeds and Wolves and accepting relegation as a foregone conclusion. Jfc. All I can say is, if the players have the same craven mentality as half of this forum, then we are in serious trouble. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Manini Posted 5 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 5 April 2023 The financial implications of us going down really worry me. I keep telling myself there must be a contingency plan, somebody must have forecasted for every eventuality, but the more you hear about the club the more you get the feeling that Rome is about to burn. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlcfc133 Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 relegation was inevitable eventually, that is not me saying I am not furious with it and it should not happen now, but we were going to at some point its just in the clubs dna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nature of the statement they put out when Rodgers was sacked rang alarm bells for me as well. Making the move to protect our PL status? It should have been done months ago and even if they didn't pull the trigger months ago, they should have been planning for someone to come in months ago. Just feels like theirs no one in charge.

Livid Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 I actually had £10 on us to go down a couple of weeks ago and we were 7/2, we were 5/2 yesterday morning, we’re 7/4 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything they are showing, points to the fact that the players do have the same mentality. A losing one.

I dont see the table de-congesting to be honest. Don't think anyone currently under 30pts is that safe. It's extraordinary how many of those teams we still have to play, too. If we'd have won last night there'd have been quite a lot of optimism in here. If we improve again and beat Bournemouth fairly safely there still will be, I think. Losing to Bournemouth would be seriously problematic though. Then I might start actually panicking. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 Just looking at the fixtures it could be a record low that keeps teams up this year. Some hard fixtures for a few teams around us. We beat Bournemouth we’ve got a chance. I won’t hold my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feels like theirs no one in charge. I sometimes feel like it’s me and my lack of understanding of the wider business operation, but the way I see it is this club is on the ropes in a big way if we drop off the PL gravy train. Nobody at the club seems to understand/want to acknowledge the severity of what could actually happen if we go down here. We’re not just talking about 10 years of basement championship football, it could be back to the dark old days of fans with buckets outside the east stand again and begging ex players for spare dough (there’s a lot that would need to happen for that to become reality yet, but that’s the trajectory I fear as opposed to a club that seems to have been on the up for the last 10 years).

East Langton Fox Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 With the limited quality we have we did ok last night apart from a calamitous last five minutes, much the same as at Selhurst Park. Not enough leadership on the pitch and Maddison was not as dominant as I was hoping he would be. Mendy our best player, along with Barnes. There is still hope as it is still in our hands.

It's not in our hands at all though is it? We're 19th. We could win every game between now and the end of the season and still go down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 Part of me thinks we should have kept Rodgers so he can be the one to take us down. Now it almost feels like he can hide it from his record and pretend he would've kept us up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mentality died amongst the fans when the players proved Foxes do indeed quit. It's not a squad full of players looking to prove themselves anymore, they're almost all multi millionaires who'll shrug and go somewhere else if we go down.

Walkerfox Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 This could unfortunately be a necessary evil. We need something to trigger a reshuffle of the board and probably sale of the club, because there’s no way we should trust them to oversee a complete rebuild of the squad with them and the staff they currently employ. Going down will allow us to quietly reset over the next few seasons. Could be a very long time until we’re back in the premier league but hopefully when we do, it’ll be with a clear, well structured plan in place (pretty much like last time). Let’s hope history repeats itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFS Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 The shit thing is our rebuild in the Championship will put us back 2-3 years at a minimum. The rebuild in the Prem allows us to kick on, potentially further than ever before. We cannot let this team go down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rue the day that the club started to move away from the “foxes never quit” and “fearless” branding. A missed opportunity to further establish ourselves as the plucky underdogs and a mantra to call upon in tough times. As for the latter, it’s unfortunate but this is all a byproduct of Rodgers. He’s been talking the club down for so long now and the fans/performances now reflect his mentality and approach to the game. There was a time when we wouldn’t truly fear any team in the world and now we tremble against anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 Up until this weekend I did honestly think we'd be fine because I saw us getting 4 points in the two games. I honestly did think the sacking of Rodgers was the right thing to do because I thought the players needed that kick up the arse. But last night was genuinely shocking. No leaders in this team. Majority of them will **** off in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
