It was a great ride eh guys?

Some of our ‘fans’ gave the players a standing ovation today as they walked off the pitch,. What does tell you about the mentality of many of our fans? I’ll be honest posters like TB will almost be relieved to get back to the championship. We’re infected with a small club mentality and a complacency about our situation.

Leicester fans have two choices - wake up and make their feelings known next season or spend 10 years skirting around the bottom of the championship under this board and this owner

while Rodgers had seemingly stopped believing in the club, Leicester’s hierarchy still very much believed in him, especially director of football Jon Rudkin.
Rudkin had worked hard to recruit Rodgers from Celtic — where he had led the Scottish giants to an undefeated domestic season and back-to-back trebles — in February 2019. They had paid good compensation for Rodgers and his staff, then rewarded him with another lucrative contract nine months later.
Rudkin and Rodgers were close. Their offices at Seagrave were next door to each other. They would communicate daily and Rodgers knew that chairman Aiyawatt “Khun Top” Srivaddhanaprabha relied on Rudkin for guidance on football matters. Rudkin was also the conduit to Khun Top, Leicester’s ultimate decision-maker.
Their relationship was the reason Rodgers was afforded more influence around the club than any manager previously, particularly on other appointments. Rudkin had an unwavering commitment to Rodgers’ training methods, message and playing philosophy, which were no longer effective with the same group of players. The alternative, to bring in fresh players, was not feasible.
It was the reason Rodgers was given so much time. Even when the fans began to turn on the former Liverpool boss in growing numbers, and when Leicester’s form dipped dramatically after the World Cup, Rudkin and others still believed he could turn it around"

Absolute proof if ever it was needed of where the blame truly lies.

This will of course be highlighted in the in depth analysis of where we went wrong this year, in any sane place leading to the replacement of the DoF.

But wait a minute, this investigation is being led by none other than said DoF. Lunatics running the asylum methinks.

Seriously though, if Rudkin did have such a close connection with Rodgers he may yet be in serious trouble. Hopefully.

Incidentally I left once I'd seen the final whistle at Goodison on the monitor in the concourse. It didn't feel right to do the end of season with the players (assuming that happened) when they had delivered such dross most of the year.

Irritatingly, if they'd shown the commitment and desire they demonstrated today earlier we wouldn't have been in this mess.

Nuneaton - I’m actually laughing at the exchange between you and TB on the other thread. I’ve never seen such a 360 reversal from a poster in my entire life! Now reckons he was calling Top out for responsibility for 2 years when there isn’t a single post of him ever doing so and 3 months after posting an article entitled ‘our owners are brilliant’.

It’s just ‘wow’. The guy is a lunatic
