Leicesterpool Posted 28 May 2023 Share Posted 28 May 2023 If top doesn't want to sell than surely he needs to put a chairman in place to run the show. At least somehow who knows what there doing. But let's be careful what we wish for... imagine if Mike Ashley ends making a bid for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ritchie Posted 28 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 28 May 2023 I think Top deserves a little more respect than is being shown in here. Yes it’s disappointing, but get a grip. Our club is the admiration for many up and down the country, and that is down to Top and his family. Show some respect. We’ll bounce back. 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 28 May 2023 Share Posted 28 May 2023 Allegedly they had a bouncy castle and some picnic benches to bring out for the players and their families for after the game lined up, but pulled the plug after we were officially down. Particularly for the lads to celebrate who were going to be on their way in the summer. Just shows how out of touch the club was about the possibility of us going down for the entirety of the season, even up until the final day. Top needs to pull the trigger on Rudkin as a bare minimum, Whelan doesn't seem to do much but to get the fees for some of those average players seems good business. Rudin has drove the club into the ground, 1st team, 21's and 18's all relegated, with all his old mates in the jobs. Get a DOF who can actually run a football club then if Top is willing to fund and be more ruthless he can stay. If its going to be more of the same he can back his bags and all up, he is not his fathers son in the ruthless business sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most expensive team with the highest wage bill by far ever relegated from the Premier League, what is to admire? We were admired 6-7 years ago. Go put your feet up at work this week and tell them how good you were last year or the year before, see how long you last. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they think would happen ? We’d stay up, they’d bring out a bouncy castle and 30000 people would sit there in the stands and watch them ?

We were admired by many, we were a well run club. When Vichai was in charge. Since then we’ve seen a steady decline culminating in relegation. Nobody, literally not one person now admires how the club is run. We have literally just achieved the impossible - paying 7th highest player wages, and the 5th highest manager wage, in the most expensive training facilities, and failed miserably. Why does anyone defend that?? It’s the definition of failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard would have been when the fans had gone an hour after FT, but pulled the plug at the last minute as media were still dotted around so would have obviously picked up on it. As unbelievably as it sounds heard it from a pretty reputable source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Trav Le Bleu Posted 28 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 28 May 2023 Give the guy a break. Everyone makes mistakes. Top isn't his dad, so things will be different; are you an exact replica of your dad? It's learning from your mistakes that counts, which unfortunately you can only do after you make them. At least give him the chance to turn it around. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mickyblueeyes Posted 28 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 28 May 2023 People saying Top deserves a chance to “learn” Investing into infrastructure far to big for our revenue - that was a chance to learn. Failing to invest when the club was “high” - a chance to learn. Risking financial security and moving away from a tried and tested method - a chance to learn. Allowing talented people to become disillusioned and leave - a chance to learn. Allowing or better still, allowing a situation to develop where the club has as many players as we do with contracts expiring or soon to expire - a chance to learn. No signings in the summer - a chance to learn. Poor signings, repeated (Vestegaard, Bertrand, Soumare, Daka, Khristiansen (not in squad today), Souttar, Tete) - a chance to learn. Poor fan interaction, disillusionment - a chance to learn. A drastic drop in performance which led to an early Fa Cup exit (twice) to lower league opposition and ridiculously poor results over two years - a chance to learn. Not sacking Rodgers - pre World Cup - a chance to learn. Not sacking Rodgers during the World Cup - a chance to learn Not sacking Rodgers post World Cup - a chance to learn. No preparation once Rodgers was sacked, a chance to learn. allowing complacency, poor standards to set in without challenge - a chance to learn. The offences are probably even longer than that - this hasn’t just come about, it’s been brewing. The prat isn’t learning! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wortho Posted 28 May 2023 Share Posted 28 May 2023 I’m sorry but everyone knew that Rodgers was a liability. It’s like Rodgers decision to pick Ward for 26 games!! He then decides that he’s useless when everyone could see it. To me Top is weak and a poor businessman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Freeman's Wharfer Posted 28 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 28 May 2023 I’m sure someone else has already said it, but if Top was actually named Todd and was an American who bought the club the day Vichai died, and then followed on with what Top has delivered, people would be after him. The guy gets credit under this catch all phrase of ‘the owners’ and no accountability because of his dad’s record. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
