Popular Post JamesWelshFox Posted 2 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 April 2023 Time for us all to move on as a club. Rodgers is gone. Time to pull together, stay up and start again. We gave Champions League qualification a real go for 2 seasons and we have paid the price for falling short, twice. Our owners are wealthy but not Big 7 wealthy and we need to understand this. The model we were operating under, careful purchases and 1/2 big sales a year is what we have to go back to for a bit, rebuild and give it another crack. I don't want success at any cost, I want a club that is sustainable, who will give anybody a tough game and always have a chance on our day of ruffling the feathers of the big clubs. As long as I see a group all pulling together and giving it their all, no recriminations from me. The moment someone stops pulling they have to go. Rodgers lost his mojo when he didn't get the Man Utd job and should have gone at that point. He had his head turned, started thinking he was too big for Leicester, and we should have parted ways at that point. There can be no half way house, you are in or you are out. Same goes for players. As soon as it became clear Youri wasn't going to sign he should have been out the door for the best price we could get. 3 months to negotiate and sign or be sold. We cannot afford to invest in a player for him to leave for free. Same now goes for Madders as much as we will miss him. Cmon City time to save ourselves. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They report to him and he's given them a free ride for far too long. Agree with that as well, hopefully we'll see change to the club's leadership, especially Rudkin's role, at the end of the season.

Although it seems I was giving the board too much credit in thinking they would actually have a plan for this outcome. Weve been utterly shite for 18 months but apparently we have no contingency plan and we're just hoping stability would work out. Complete and utter negligence from the board.

Diggler90 Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 Funny how everyone KNOWS what Vichai would have done and that Top isn’t up to it. How many of you have worked for the club at board level during King Power ownership? He kept a manager longer than you would have liked and suddenly everything he has done for the club goes out the window and he needs to sell up. Absolutely embarrassing. For the record, I agree Rodgers needed to go but calling out Top isn’t the way to go. I hear Mike Ashley is available… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and the board are just as much to blame as Rodgers for us being in this mess. It's laughable that the only defence people seem to have is stating that someone else COULD be worse. that goes for the chairman, the board members, the manager, etc. Edited 3 April 2023 by Leicester_Loyal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don’t have to have done it, but some of the opinions of people discussing it are plain stupid. Vichai and Top have delivered unbelievable things for this club and city in general. As soon as things aren’t nice and rosey, ‘fans’ are saying that Top needs to sell up and move on. Things can always be improved and perhaps the roles of Rudkin etc need to be reviewed but to suggest KP need to sell up and move on is ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want the current ownership to leave? Would you prefer Mike Ashley to the current ownership? Everything can be improved on, but are things really that bad that the whole club needs restructuring?! Don’t be so dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nonsense because it's not actually a valid argument, it just 'well it could be worse' You could be 22nd in League 2 and still be applying the same argument 'well we could not have a football club' We've heard this about Rodgers for the past 18 months, hasn't done us much good has it? Be careful what you wish for, we could end up with Potter, Dyche, Nuno or Emery I wouldn't care if Top sold up and we got decent owners in, he's shown in the past 3 or 4 years that he seems to have zero idea of how to run a football club. Leaving it until now to sack Rodgers is absolute madness. I never once said the club needs restructuring, but now you mention it I think you'll find the restructuring has already started, hence Lee Congerton moving on and the club taking back control of transfers, previously allowing Rodgers and his boys to cherry pick the signings, with one dud bought after another. 'Good god people actually criticising the ownership, get in the bin. No pleasing some people, let’s get Mike Ashley shall we.' This was your argument in this very thread in September, so it shows really no matter what happens, you'll put Top of some sort of pedestal and he'll likely never do any wrong. And you don't really have any other argument for arguing in Tops favour other than Mike Ashley, evil bad chairman. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Supporters' because we're criticising the owners? Half the people spouting stuff like this don't even go to games, yet want those that spend thousands every year to attend and happy clap their way into the Championship. This isn't aimed at you personally, but seens loads of people on here recently making these comments, but then they're always in the match day threads commentating so can't be at the actual games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like fans have wanted a successful manager out. Football isn't played on history, it's about the now and right now we're heading towards the second divison. Top has his trust in people that don't seem up to the job. All these contracts signed and handed out are big issues for us and Top has trusted his DOF to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, so called supporters that are directing mindless vitriol, anger and abuse at the owners. Talk to Bury, Cardiff, Coventry or Pompey fans about asset stripping and unscrupulous ownership.

Which kind of brings us around a neat circle really as the ground is under the ownership of King Power as opposed to the club and we've just risked significant 'potential' sums of TV money and/or parachute payments. Hence the heat facing the current ownership as a relegation begins to really stress the relationship of owner to their investment in LCFC. They are not above criticism.

However, they have already made their commitment to continuing to invest in the long-term future of the club quite clear. Whether that is as astutely managed as it was under the late chairman and owner remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
