demon_dog Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 Sat and watched many of our games this season and thought this looks like a team that will be relegated. Sadly firmly believe this is now true. I don't think we will get another point in our remaining games. My biggest worry is that when we are down it will take several years to return. I do not believe for one minute that we would automatically bounce straight back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 If Everton get something at Wolves and Forest get a point against Chelsea then at least the final day will be stress free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywood_6 Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 I don't even want us to play these last three games. What's the point. I just want the season to be over now. We have had our time in the sun and it's been the most successful period in the club's history, and we're very lucky to have experienced it all but right now it's just depressing supporting us. Architects of our own downfall. The players couldn’t care less cause most of them are working their notice. Absolutely spineless and shambolic. Fair play everton and forest, shown exactly what it means to try and get out of the relegation scrap. Just hope there’s not a spiral effect now cause I don’t even think we’re good enough for the championship. We need a massive clear out throughout the whole club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inckley fox Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 14 minutes ago, Fazzer 7 said: Seriously, who do we want to keep. For me from the first team squad. Iverson KDH. Thomas, Souttar, Faes Nacho Barnes Ricardo Justin. The rest will either leave or not wanted. A massive rebuilding job is needed and I doubt whether Top wants it and or Rudkin is capable. I can't bring myself to say I 'want' Faes or Thomas. I honestly think they'd have trouble in the FLC. Kristiansen likewise. I'd like to keep Nacho, maybe have Vardy knocking around if he ends the season well. Iversen hasn't done too much wrong. Perhaps Souttar, Justin and KDH would be useful, though I doubt they'll set the league alight. I can't think of anyone else among those likely to stay (and the vast bulk, if not all, of those who are on their way) that I haven't developed a deep dislike for, though there might be someone I'm forgetting. Pereira and some of the loanees perhaps, purely because I haven't had to watch them very often. Obviously we've had far, far worse sides than this one, and maybe there's been one that was equally devoid of character, but I reckon we'll need to build very wisely if we're to be a competitive side in the second tier. It's got to be a whole new backbone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool and Newcastle will steamroll us and the atmosphere at home on the last day against West Ham will be toxic! We had our chance and blew it already. We will likely be relegated before the final match. Might just be trying to avoid 20th place by the final day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think this is the case. Forest and Everton will ride a wave and get at least one more point against the odds before the final day.

I'm certain that we will bounce straight back up and hopefully the lesson will be learnt No chance we bounce straight back up. We will be rebuilding the entire team from scratch on a shoestring budget with an as yet unknown manager, all guided by our board and DoF. We’ll have a few years in the wilderness and when we return to the PL, we will be back at square one having squandered the legacy of the PL title and FA cup win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bazly Posted 8 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 8 May 2023 Looks like my August tea leaves prediction of relegation this season will come to pass. It has been a totally inept season: The forum rated top two players of this season never figured under Brendan - go figure The best defender was sold at the start of the season when we knew our defence was shit on the back of last season - go figure that one out? Our recruitment has been shit - but its been like that for a while now Our captain is leaving on a free this Summer - why was he captain when he is leaving on a free this summer? Our defence has been bad for three years - it does manage to get worse each year though. Is that evolution or progress? And, Vardy went to shit. At least he will be an enduring legend of our Premier League 2014 -2023 era. Here lies the Champions of England - RIP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest and Everton will be buzzing after today and only 1 win away from surviving in all probability. We will lose the next 2 games, I have no doubt about that, and I expect the gap being 4 points by the time West Ham show up. Done and Done.

orangecity23 Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 Feeling pretty certain it's all over mathematically before the West Ham game after today's results. The "lap of appreciation" under Puel vs West Ham after a loss was quite something, with the players walking around to pratically no one as everyone streamed to the exits. This one, also against West Ham in a twist of fate, will be a whole other level of pathetic. A wake for our time in the Premier League, the funeral for the death of everything we built up over the last decade, all pissed away through stupidity, hubris, poor planning and some of the worst leadership at an executive and managerial level as have ever been seen in this division. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc81 Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 I am at a place where I am going to try to enjoy the next few home games. All.i can do.is song and support the team, and will continue to do so until the last day. All we can do now is to try and back the team and hope for a twist of fate to go our way. The rest is out of our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioFox Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 (edited) Just seems to tie into the wider reality of the city feeling like it's pulling apart at the seams right now. What I'd give to get that 2014-2017 feeling back again. Not even the footballing success, just the feeling of the city being united and proud of itself. It's incredible how even the crap aspects of living in Leicester just felt so much better when we were riding that wave. Instead, now, we've got community tensions, dreadful politics, increasing dereliction, a homelessness crisis, and a growing realisation that our amenities, transport and the future prospects for meaningful investment, tourism and employment range from substandard to basically non-existent. A lot of it was always there. It's just way more obvious without positive things to distract you - and let's be real, sport is all Leicester has on a continuous basis, with LCFC top of the pile. The footy is an important sense of identity for any town or city, and right now the infighting amongst the fans, the resignation to failure, the shiny vanity projects hiding a rotten core (hello Seagrave), the way those in charge are completely out-of-touch with those who have to endure the dross, the tone-deaf response to unrest and disobedience from those in the stands, the realisation that for all we kid ourselves others close by us have it better... well, isn't that just a perfect reflection of living here in 2023?

Popular Post The whole world smiles Posted 8 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 8 May 2023 (edited) I can scarcely remember a club more more richly deserving of relegation to the championship than us. From top to bottom the gutless players, baffling recruitment, disastrous management of the players contracts, 3 different shit managers, appalling, flat home support, dreadful away ends with twats letting of flares in the concourse then sitting on their hands for 90 minutes, thick as shit ticket office staff hell bent on pissing the fans off and ruining the experience with nft and away ticket collection, meat head stewards banning people for standing and singing in a singing section, goal music and pre match music that's louder than Glastonbury bastard festival killing any organic atmosphere dead and finally one of the most entitled and toxic message boards I've ever seen with some of the biggest meltdowns every single week. Ladies and gentlemen, embrace it, Own it because believe me we have more than had this coming.

Deebhoy Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 Three disastrous results today even if the Forest one was expected. Don't see any way back. The team is filled with cowards and overpaid prima Donna's. The summer is a complete rebuild job of massive proportions. Only thing I take heart from is how Burnley dealt with relegation. In that regard the appointment of the manager in the summer is one of the most important in the clubs history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
