Why we should be protesting against those running our club

[HFox]

You’ll probably seeing the statement now from Foxes Trust I just want to give some context behind that. The P&C nature of the meetings is very frustrating.

Post Fulham, the Trust board contacted the club with a number of concerns. Concerns we have all had - the clubs control over PSR, communication, assurances over strategy.

This led to a meeting with the club and a subsequent meeting. Whereby these concerns were communicated and questions made, with the FAB in attendance that brings around NDAs etc, so it’s annoying we can’t get around that.

But the Trust board wanted to illustrate that something was happening, there is a line of communication there which has been worked on and not always been in existence, so it’s delicate. The timing is probably off given tomorrows events but there was a need to get something out, make people aware some action was occurring.

We have to see whether the club take heed of the advice. You could argue rhey never have before but equally there’s been very few opportunities to display the feelings of the supporters in person and thats the fine balance that has to be toed

How dare you?
What a stain on his character!

Maybe should have sung this.

I’ve spoken to Clitt Gineffa on a few occasions and he’s always come across as a bit dense but **** me, that shite he’s come out with has really bothered me. It’s his business if he wants to gag on someone’s cock but to do it so publicly is revolting. Weirdo.

FT statement:

On Wednesday evening last week and yesterday evening, Foxes Trust Co-Chairs, Lynn and Steve, met with Susan Whelan (CEO), other LCFC directors, members of the Supporter Engagement team, and the supporter representatives on the LCFC Fan Advisory Board(FAB). These were open meetings, with frank and candid discussions about the on-field situation, management decisions, finances and supporter anger and disappointment. It was helpful to meet with and witness how the FAB members were not afraid to ask difficult questions of Susan. It was also interesting to note her passion for the club in responding and wanting to provide answers, subject to confidentiality. There was a genuine desire to take on-board views from a supporter perspective and to explore possible solutions, short- and long-term.
We cannot detail the comments and questions asked by others, nor the answers given, as we agreed to abide by the confidentiality imposed on the FAB. We have posed relevant questions and queries, and provided feedback on answers from the Club and other participants. We will maintain dialogue with the Club, and a further meeting is planned for next week."

I don’t believe they wrote this. I haven’t seen them for months. I had just assumed they died. I mourned them.

Good thing you were wrong, they’ve not coughed up Bob’s tenner yet

If it had only been a tenner I would be less bothered. To think I'm financially supporting these ****ers...

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to King Power Stadium for today’s Premier League visit of Arsenal - a fixture that stirs memories of some truly classic matches, both at Filbert Street and here on Filbert Way.
Today, it’s a fixture that puts us up against the side currently second in the Premier League table, which gives some indication of the challenge before us. It’s an occasion that will require the best of us to secure the result we’re looking for. Welcome to our guests from Arsenal to Leicester this afternoon.
In the four weeks since we last played at home, we’ve had a fine win at Tottenham, a disappointing day at Everton and an FA Cup performance at Manchester United that promised and deserved more. It’s been a mixed period, but our objective for the season remains within reach. There will be some twists and turns yet, but we will be fighting throughout the next 14 games to make sure we stay in the Premier League. Thank you to our fans that have travelled to support the team on the road in recent weeks.
January was a challenging month for us in the transfer window, where our ability to strengthen was limited by our PSR position. We were very pleased to sign Woyo Coulibaly and we explored a number of options to make further additions to Ruud’s squad during the month, but the space available in our PSR calculations did not enable us to add the further quality we all felt would improve the team. We remain ambitious, have always been committed to investing in the squad and will continue to be in future. But our ambition must be pursued within the laws of the game.
We retain absolute belief in the group of players we have and the qualities of the manager and staff around them for the challenge ahead of us. There’s everything to play for during the coming weeks, and we are all ready to fight for it.
We know some of you are frustrated, we respect the views you have shared and we know there are things we need to improve together as one Club. But we also know those improvements are made more easily in the Premier League. To give us the best chance of achieving that, I ask that, during the game, you get behind the team and give them your full support. Winning the games and the points we need to stay up is only possible with your support.
Foxes never quit.
Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha
Chairman

Is that copied, or AI’s best guess as to what it could be? Who knows!

The FAB is a waste of time. The Trust playing along with the secrecy and control that the club requires is not the way forward.

I support the new blood on the Trust trying to make a difference but a "leave it to us guys, we're talking to them" statement does nothing to reassure me.

I don't trust the Trust. Certainly not the old guard who still run the show.

I think that’s a good summary in the latter statement; it’s a question of trust and reputation.

If the statement is made and those notions are high within the fanbase, the reaction is positive.

Alas it’s currently not, so it’s lukewarm.

Ill say the two co-chairs who would have sat around the table are good people but with an inability to present that, the fanbase isn’t aware of that

" On Wednesday evening last week & yesterday evening 2 people only referred to by their first names here to underline the point that they are only entertained on sufferance as a token gesture were treated to tea & biscuits by a person referred to by their full name & title in order to reinforce the true dynamic of the relationship.

Discussions were " frank & candid "

They were also completely confidential, enforced by a legally binding NDA. So if you wish to continue reading beyond this point I really wouldn't bother. You've already wasted your time reading this far.

It was absolutely NOT interesting to hear the CEO state her passion for the club as this is an unprovable, immeasurable intangible & exactly what someone would say in this type of arena regardless of there being any truth to it. Oh...& it is, as previously stated, confidential. So hey ho there you go. Take our word for it.

" There was a genuine desire... < this part is just corporate non-speak from chapter 1 of PR for Dummies. Ignore it >

We cannot give any details of anything as we agreed to abide by the paranoid confidentiality agreement as we wouldn't want to jeopardise our access & the warm glow of self importance that it bestows upon us.
We will continue to post this lamentable bollocks for the forseeable future & will be back next week for some more tea & biscuits. & to suck some more cock. "

Corporate wankflannel & not even moderately well done. I can decode this shite in my sleep & so could most people I reckon.

Genuinely made me gag reading that flaccid hogshit

Said it once, and I’ll say it again - a complete ****ing shower

The Foxes Trust has been a massive enabler for how these ****s are now running the Club and treating the fanbase

 

[camberwell fox]

Good thing you were wrong, they’ve not coughed up Bob’s tenner yet

I believe “coughing up” is the job that f Mr Gineta.

 

[Miles Away]

The pressure needs to continue to be applied, however ineffective today was.

This season is a lost one. This is about protecting the future.

 

[Brown Nose]

Well that was a waste of everybody's time wasn't it?

Very poorly organised and really quite embarrassing.

I turned up and thought 'oh, this might be something, there are a lot here'. I then waited. And waited. And just before 12, we walked to the ground with the odd song being sung and a couple of flares being let off*

It was piss poor. The banners on the van were a mix of good and awful which didn't help. I'd guess that there were 600-700 in the 'march' and most of us wished we hadn't bothered.

If this was a start, so be it. If this was it, blimey, King Power will be pissing themselves laughing this afternoon.

*Pop - I know you'll be concerned about this terrible criminal behaviour but I can assure you that there were loads of police about and they were totally disinterested in intervening. The only issue was when a little kid picked one up in front of a police officer. I did think I should grab the kid and hand him over asking for him to be removed from his family. Does the fact that I didn't mean I need to be banned?

 

[homer]

It was embarrassingly, excruciatingly shit in every ****ing way

Rudkin, Ginetta and Volpone will be delighted

You know you weren't in the ground don't you? You also know that this is in no way comparable? I'm guessing you also know that this has nothing to do with the terms of entry to a stadium as well I assume? Are you okay big guy?

And you mean uninterested. All police officers should always be disinterested.

You were warned about 'The Protest' you tried to encourage everyone to be at. It was always going to be a shit show because it was organised so ****ing terribly.

Other than that another cracking post as usual.

 

[fitz]

Protests count for **** all when people then still turn up, spend money and drop anything once they're seated. This whole "March to the ground" pretending to be angry is just bollocks. March to the ground, all 1000 or so defecate on Rudkins car and then head to the boozer....that'd teach em. Football fans will always be taken for mugs until they understand they don't actually have to go.

Spoke to four different ST holders yesterday and today and asked them what they thought of the protest. Only one of them had even heard of it and all of them assumed it was just about results, nothing about how the club is run. Majority of the fanbase have no idea what is going on and probably don't care.

I'm not in a position to know but considering that season ticket access has been pretty much a closed shop for years now, isn't the average age of a ST holder pretty high by now?
Younger people are pretty much shut out &/or priced out. Does the KP resemble a geriatric ward now?
If so that might help explain it. Old gits like me have seen a title win & an FA Cup which has pretty much fulfilled all their dreams so are likely happy to just live off that nostaligia forever & sit in the ground every week with an oblivious warm glow, reminiscing. Its what old gits tend to do with most things.
Just a thought & I might be wrong, but maybe it's a factor.
