Bookmark this and mark my phrase as a result of you’ll have Sheffield Wednesday MK2 inside two years.

@HaIfTurn: If the one time you talk is due to these chants you then create the area for them to proceed as a result of it’s the one time we hear from the membership

@lcfcgeorgee: Not fairly positive what was chanted, however in a well mannered means then, Rudkin out

Been watching Leicester for over 50 years (even misplaced cash on the golf equipment shares) and that is essentially the most disconnected from the membership I’ve ever felt! Completely happy to supply my companies as a Director

@dannyb_31: Chants are incorrect and overstep the mark however as at all times… No recognition, accountability or acknowledgement of how we’ve gone from a longtime PL membership to mid desk championship ( breaking FFP alongside the way in which) Think about my shock

The proprietor who was supposedly going to take extra management within the wake of Whelan’s departure has seemingly completed something however. Unacceptable chanting by a sizeable minority of morons doesn’t change a factor.
