From who?

Did you go to games? Right till the end fans around us were saying he was the best person to get us through this. I don’t agree with them, but many pundits (including lineker) say the same even now. Personally, it should have been done after the Spurs loss early in the season but I’m not going to believe my opinion was the same as all the fans.

He could have said anything and the usual suspects would have found fault. 
 

Pretty bland puff-piece of a statement but it was always going to be. What did people expect?

Can’t really compare that. Almost everyone wanted Rodgers gone

They pretty much did with Ranieri, Pearson had a little more credit but I think you are forgetting how much vitriol there was at the time.

Sincerely hope he decides to just cheat from now on. Financially dope us like Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton. Just be evil. It’s the only way to compete now.

Hate that this man has received abuse from our fan base.

In my humble opinion we have one of the best owners in football. His family has brought success to the club that no one ever imagined would be possible. If the muppets on here and with in our fan base abuse him and his family they should be ashamed. 
Relegation is heartbreaking but I honestly believe we will bounce straight back. We won’t be stronger has Rudkin and Rodgers have torn the heart out of this club with allowing players contracts to run down like they have. But we will be back and we will recover and hopefully we can rekindle some of this success. 
Puel when he was here brought in some of the best players we have seen in last 20 years little did we realise when he left the mess Rodgers would make of Puels legacy. 
I for one would rather have Puelball back then what we have now. 
WE WILL BE BACK 

When….10 years

I sang Rodgers out at the Chelsea game and got a lot of groans and tuts. A lot of ‘careful what you wish for’ going on at the time. 

[mozartfox]

Great Chairman, great family. Trusted the Muppets that ran the Club day to day as was badly let down. The failures on all aspects of the footballing side of things are down to Rogers, Rudkin and previously Congerton and CFO.

 

First job Top is to find a competent DOF, one you can trust.  Without this change it is highly likely the same mistakes will be made again. This planned post season review needs to be carried out quickly and ruthless in actions.  Then we can start the journey back.

 

All deadwood needs to be felled.

Yes he’s made some poor decisions and people are entitled to wanting him to sell etc but to abuse him just isn’t right imo

Do you also think it isn't right to kick puppies and steal from small businesses? 

 

No shit.

 

This always has and always will happen when their is anger at an event. Idiots gonna go overboard.

[Mr.Bingles]

If he isn’t going to sell he should appoint an experienced Director to run the club on his behalf. Someone he deputises to make decision on his behalf. Sack Rudkin off and get a proper footballing brain in to run the place.

Do you (and others who are saying the same) think this is exclusive to us or something?

 

Our fan base is the most tame/timid on the planet. Owners of other big clubs like Leeds, Everton, etc would not have been able to make it into their offices for hate mail and even death threats cluttering up their doorway.

 

In the age of social media it is par for the course for anyone in public life pretty much regardless of successes or failures. 🤷‍♂️

Its spineless and pathetic, but it’s true.

[NotTheMarketLeader]

If ever a statement proved that Top sees it as King Power FC and not Leicester City FC, that was it. Always been the case and anyone saying otherwise is deluding themselves. The gold never seen before 2010. Parading round the pitch with trophies the team won. Statues despite us having no statues of players or managers. The tone deaf corporate feel to everything.

 

The statement reads like Brendan Rodgers wrote it. Distracting from the issue at hand. Painting an obviously negative scenario in a positive light. Taking no responsibility. Self-grandeur. Putting the club down with narrative. Saying things that will cause a stir that can’t be corroborated.

 

I would expect a wholehearted apology, expressing regret for mistakes and implying he’d let the fans down. The fact he has taken this opportunity to divide the fans (in a Rodgers-esque way), is extremely worrying and suggests he has not accepted what went wrong and his role in it. It reads almost like a King talking to his subjects.

 

I don’t care who you support, it’s laughable for people to suggest our natural place is below Brentford, Brighton, Luton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Burnley. Forest FFS. Yet that negative belief has been constantly reinforced by Rodgers, then the media, and now Top as he paints us the loveable overachievers.

He’s getting credit on here for ‘his family’s work’. That’s not him. His dad had to reinstate Pearson because Top recklessly sacked him without consulting anyone. Top appointed the man who has ruined the club and refused to sack him. There’s ample evidence he was not any sort of mastermind behind the scenes.
 

A billionaire trying to win sympathy when you’ve allowed a well-supported club to suffer an embarrassing and damaging relegation is a tough sell, but he’s gone for it and it’s evidently worked on some people.
