Match Thread RC Lens v Leicester PSF

[Lako42]

Would it work if you just ignored Pop, or does the ignore function only work if he ignores you?

It's a fair point, however

It's him that feels the need to jump on every single post.

Its him asking why other people are posting on a forum.

I couldn't give a **** what he posts a part from when it's his usual goading, condescending bollocks aimed at me.

 

[Fox Fan]

Some posters on here would benefit from posting about the club and the football, rather than commenting constantly on the enjoyment that other posters may or may not be extracting from being a supporter.

 

[popillius]

I'm ****ed off with the ownership and the board level employees running the club I love like a bunch of ****ing clowns.

Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do and don't make shit up just to have yet another dig.


Like I've already said, put me on ignore or shut the **** up.

You could ignore me. Look how mad the whole thing is making you. Seriously, do something else with your time or your miserable, boring **** act will become permanent.

It's not me suggesting that LCFC fans are all ****s though is it. You could grow the **** up and stop labelling a whole demographic of people who may want to take enjoyment from something that makes you so ****ing unbearably miserable, as 'mongies' or some other such wibble.

Does your biggest gripe boil down to:-

• Giving Rodgers too much say.
• letting him spend half a billion.
• having to reign spending in when it didn’t pay off.
• having too much faith he would turn it around and letting him demoralise his squad and relegate us.

All of this comes from a place of some naivety, but also loyalty to something that before the very end of his tenure had worked. I can understand it even if I am cross about it too.

Or is it:-

• Price rises.
• The ticket card tax thing.
• Shirt sponsor.
• Lack of signings.

All of these boil down to budgeting for Rodgers to see us to a 7th place finish (which on budget was not an unreasonable expectation). It went wrong. Things go wrong. We all make business decisions that don’t pay off. They can’t keep lumping more on. They have to play the game.

Positives I see:-

• They did invest last year and continue to invest despite the restraints on the club. They have to raise revenue and we are about par for what other clubs charge. If we are being honest, we are probably all mostly mad at the state of football generally.
• They have written off hundreds of millions loaned to the club.
• They have invested in the city. Not enormous sums, but they don’t have to invest anything.
• They have massively improved infrastructure and want to continue to do so.
• Before they came along we had sunk into nothingness as a club. A £500k signing was massive.
• Since they took over we have won, league 1, the championship twice, the premier league (copyright season of dreams), the fa cup, and the community shield.
• We have competed in Europe in multiple competitions.

It’s a bump. Good relationships have a bump. It doesn’t mean you chuck the whole thing out at the first sign of real adversity.

Well fair enough, but please both of you remember at the end of the day it’s a silly game for kids.

How in the **** can the same person who wrote this excellent piece be responsible for that post about Londis?!

Aren't you a lawyer? oh, wait...

The Londis thing…did anyone else find that eating too many space raiders led to a layer of skin in your mouth just coming off. Gross.

I think the one thing you've missed and is perhaps more than anything niggling most fans, is the total lack of communication from the club, which is often (correctly imo) taken as a disregard for the fans to whom the club actually belongs.

KP have created a vacuum and in that space the likes of Lako and @Brown Nose have put forward a convincing narrative that may or may not be accurate, but is certainly unchallenged by the club.

I would be interested to know what people want to have communicated? Reasons for choices perhaps? That would in some cases be a fair observation, but not reason to hound our owners out.

The club is clearly completely absent of a comms/pr team.

What do people want to have communicated to them?

There won’t be a public announcement on financial decisions. The club won’t say we need the money because admission is newsworthy and damaging. It requires some degree of reading between the lines.

The way we want to play is evident. I don’t think people need telling we want to be Man City lite

We won’t communicate things like transfer targets because that is brainless and drives up prices.

The club aren’t going to come out and discuss finances, choice of sponsor or pricing. We know the reason. We have to generate more income. They aren’t going to publicly say that. It’s newsworthy and damaging.

Beyond this, what do people want to have communicated?

 

[Cambridge_fox]

It’s not just the lack of any sort of communication with the fans that is starting to niggle. I would also point out that the last game of the season was a total and utter shambles. I’ve never felt so disconnected with the club as I did that day. Fans were an afterthought at best

 

[Cambridge_fox]

I’m not saying KP out. We are very lucky to have them. But something has changed in recent years and it’s for the worse.

Historically we were different from the rest in terms of owner/fans relationship, now it seems this has dissipated. The owners need to talk to the fans more and explain certain things.

A lot of that was player driven. They gravitated to Union FS and spent a very loooooong time there.

 

[Graz]

It's not even the first game yet...

Let's have some perspective, please?

And maybe give it at least 6 games before we all start calling each other ****s again.
