Where Do We Go From Here??

By Peter Gilbert. 13.9.99

Leicester City FC have never had a better team than they have now.
They've never had a better manager.
They've never been so consistent.
They've never been so respected.
They've never promised so much.

The above statements are I believe beyond question but it is all hanging in the balance and it could all crumble away as easily as a feather blowing away in the wind.

Why you might wonder? If our team and management is so good what can possibly be going wrong.

Well the backroom boys at the board or the plc or the commercial department or whatever you want to call it are quietly ripping the heart out of the team we love by their constant bickering, greed, empire building, short sightedness and utter selfishness. It has got so bad that the bunch of boardroom charlie's are shouting and screaming abuse at each other,  which has a knock on effect and along with adverse publicity about Cup Final tickets and lack of progress on the new stadium means that the club cannot move forward.   We're being left behind.

It's a miracle that our top players have stayed with us and that must be down to Martin O'Neill, but everyone has their breaking point and his patience as well as players who are courted by top teams chasing honours and potential players who might join us, is being severely tested and don't be too surprised if you wake up one day to see that Martin has had enough.
If that happens you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know which 6 or 7 players would be on their bikes too.

So make the most of these great days we're having. Things are coming to a head and they could go one of two ways;  one is that the air is cleared and the way forward crystallises into perfection and the other way...............................just doesn't bear thinking about..........it would indeed be a very grim day.

Don't underestimate the knock on effect of the very damaging backroom atmosphere, just ask yourself.......how well did we play at Sunderland?
Has the rot set in already?
We as the supporters of Leicester City Football Club have every right to know just what is going on............... so don't be afraid to start asking questions..... as quickly, as loudly as you can otherwise we'll all be left with the thought .......what did we do?
