Popular Post Larry_LCFC Posted 14 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 14 January 2023 I could never question Top and his families past generosity, morals and love for our club off the pitch. But currently, in terms of actually running the football side of things, they are up there with the worst owners in the league. Allowing us to implode like they have done is just totally unforgiveable. Even the terrible owners in the league still had the balls to sack a shit manager. The lack of ambition, funds and communication with the fans just makes me desperate for them to move on. Sad really, I hoped this would never happen. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they backing Brendan(and if so why)? Why have we let these players run their contracts down? Just poor management on the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all care about the club and seemingly over the past couple of years we’ve completely nosedived as a club. It’s not on and the owner and board has a lot to answer for l. Barnes scores those two chances and Johnson is another cm further forward and we would be 13th with a massive injury crisis and no money to spend. Of course that is ifs, but Jesus saying Top should sell up blah, blah is nonsense. I do think Rodgers has run his course, but none of us know if the owners are trying to get a new man in.

whetstonefox Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 When times were good no one noticed the silence at the top , now times are bad , and have been for a while, there is now a vacuum and being filled by rumours, guesswork and god knows what. There is more likely to be a comment by King Charles about Harry than there is from Top about the state of the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the football is not good enough at present, I do think we have seen far worse times. The mid 2000's was depressing period constantly fighting for survival in the championship, bringing in some damn awful players managed by the likes Craig levien and Rob Kelly. Them times were so much worse. We aren’t that club anymore, it’s like saying if Man City were to go down then they’ve been there before. We have different standards now we are one of the most successful sides in England this century hard work got us in to a position where we could challenge the big boys of the league and mix it with them, I don’t see why we should just accept whatever happens because we’ve been there before 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 Think Tops time has come to make a statement and address the supporters to tell us what's going on. The silence is not helping matters. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're interested in us, but the PSG lot want to invest in the Premier League and so does Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Financial doping, ethical debates...I couldn't give a fvck right now.

People need to realise it’s not 2016 anymore and we live in a completely different world post-pandemic. They’ve clearly took a heavy knock. Yes they’ve given us great memories but if you are an owner of a club in 2023 and cannot afford to sack an underperforming manager, that’s a red flag that would cover the family stand.

We overspent trying to hit European places, didn't sell any players and gambled with FFP. Now we have to cut our cloth accordingly and reduce the wage bill whilst backing the manager. And we bought 5 substandard players last summer. It's totally piss poor. Very little of it is on him and most of it is on the directors he trusted to manage the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an amazing 10 years because the stars aligned between good ownership, good management AND good players. Clubs like ours don't win the PL without all areas working in harmony. Trying to discredit the owners and writing them out of our amazing story from the last decade is utterly moronic. Also, by that logic, you agree that the players on the pitch are solely responsible for the position we currently find ourselves in? Yeah, thought not.

splinterdream Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 I think it is, I’d bet that the club is probably a bit of a hassle to Top who might be trying to out King Power in Thailand, a passion of his fathers at a more prosperous time and now feeling like a millstone, he’d probably like to move on from but wrestling with the fact it was his fathers legacy. must be tough for him, he should move on if that’s what he wants, is dad will never be forgotten in Leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
