They've not been bad owners by any stretch but they won't be here in 20 years time and they won't care - I reckon many on here will be. You don't remember Fosse Gold then.

CosbehFox Posted 12 January 2023 Share Posted 12 January 2023 The lack of nods in our history really grind on me. I find it sad that 120 years of history are increasingly forgotten. In the process that makes some of our newer generation less aware of it. Even things which stare them in the face like having a new away shirt based on a shirt from the previous era which would sell tons, the club would rather have a variety of colours. No Maroon shirt since we won the Cup in it. Kilworth Fox got it bang on when he said they've hired a lot of people with decent CV at middle management level but very few of them have experiences of football clubs. They've penalised themselves with the talent drain and not appropriately replaced - when Rodgers joined, we had ambitions of making Seagrave way ahead of the game on Sports Science and Analytics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fighting for control of the club, to bring back the business lost to King Power due to Covid, his father's probate issue not yet sorted and tying his hands as to the direction he can take this club. He has put his faith in a DoF and a CEO who are not excelling in their respective roles see (FFP) and has put his trust in a manager who seemingly only trust himself. Nothing about what he is going through at this moment compares with our perception of where our club is heading, we need to just take a breath, his life is not all that it seems. Give a billionaire a break because his job is quite hard? Some unbelievable logic here. I take you give the players a break when the pitch is a little bit wet?

They've not been bad owners by any stretch but they won't be here in 20 years time and they won't care - I reckon many on here will be. I’m definitely not in the ground every week (and yeah, it’s all King Power era at the King Power Stadium), but from a long-distance perspective, I see more acknowledgments of history than this. The ground COULD use some more nods to history, I will absolutely concede that point. The club is about 140 years old so any institution that’s been kicking around for that while ought to have lots of conspicuous links to the past, especially a football club. I’ll quibble with this post about other things, though. The club regularly posts on social media and its website about the Former Player Remembers series, Links with the Past (which is done by John Hutchinson the club historian, who does an excellent job all around IMO), a bunch of other interviews and features with past players and managers, the “Leicester’s The Place” video/pod (and I might be missing some stuff here). One of the benefits of having owners from the retail world is that we’ve really stepped up our retro retail offerings. As a proud fan of Fox Leisure—the finest in 1990s private-label sporting apparel—I for one salute the club. They’ve also finally caught on that the “running fox” logo is really popular (even if they didn’t properly produce it on the backs of the home shirts this year), but at least I got some green/yellow running Fox socks and darts flights for Christmas this year.

Yeah lets forget the buddist flags draped all around the ground and the monks walking around blessing the place, oh and walking around the pitch when we won the league with a picture of their king in hand. All of which have nothing to do with the club or it's history yet alone our culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or has he completely misunderstood what the point of fan ownership is. Neither of you actually think we are going to own the club and install my mate Paul as the COO of lcfc right? Fan ownership works like the co-op. I’m a co-op owner but I can’t go in and demand garlic is reduced to 1p because I use it all my cooking.

We as supporters 'members' would vote in those who are standing for those roles. So you have business people, people those skilled in areas of expertises needed, ex players etc. It's not voting fans onto the board because they want to be busy working for the club. Yes this is what I thought is meant by fan ownership, a co operative. I think the original poster is confused.

Popular Post Mr Weller 2 Posted 12 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 12 January 2023 I’ll say it again-this thread is full of entitled, spoilt, ungrateful people who say vile things because they’re angry-in this case because the team aren’t playing very well. Furthermore they speculate on rumours, make wild assumptions and also make sweeping statements about things they have little or no information on. Just because they can’t spend hundreds of millions on new players and results are going against us some people are spouting bile at the very people who brought us the most unimaginable success. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
