Genuine question though-what difference will a points deduction make? Don’t think he’ll care about that either. Unless they can do something about his ownership in a concrete way (and they can’t) it’s all just a bit pointless. Think it’s going to have to be the Regulator myself

Get into it deeper, it’ll help you understand it properly

With the greatest of respect, as someone who has worked with kids for 20 years, that’s lazy rubbish. Oh and it’s ‘worst educated’ by the way….

Took the Mrs and lad on Sunday for dinner at Kapital and it was brilliant. Really good food and the beer is spot on. Think they’ve also managed to tap into wherever Fagans and Dog & Partridge get their Guinness from as well-it’s the real deal

It will never, ever be theirs no matter how much failure payment cash they chuck about. It’s all about the bigger picture. Not signing a load of players means we are down, but we pretty much were even if we’d got Messi today. It’s a painful thing but for the greater good when the tuna man goes away forever

Steve Bruce would have got us promoted

Oh well, if the greatest mind of our generation thinks so then case closed

Because whataboutery is something that a noisy minority are clinging on to, for some weird reason. ‘So you didn’t go last night, but I bet you have eaten tuna at some point in your life haven’t you?’ ‘So you say you’re boycotting, but I notice you’re still happy your team won, you massive hypocrite’ etc etc etc

No, and you’re using silly whataboutery to deflect from a very simple thing: Don’t spend money at the club until he’s gone. It’s not that hard, and all the ‘but what about those over there’ arguments in the world are just making you look a bit daft.

Got it in one. Tried it myself and got filtered

There’s a King Canute joke here but I’ll hold off

DoN’T YoU DArE TeLl PeOPlE WhAt To dO. Don’t you know these free spirit warriors need to be free to think freely? They’re the true heroes here. Thinking all freely and not being told what to do by the man. It’s not like there’s any other way they can spend time with their kids. Won’t somebody please think of the children?

Don’t forget the spiteful bit and the crippling insecurity and need to ‘win’ that comes from being the black sheep of a wealthy family. He’s the Kendall Roy of Tuna.

It absolutely does not. It’s two completely separate things that some people are conflating either because they don’t get it, or for a more sinister purpose. ‘But of course if we put less money in, he can’t sign people, that’s just simple maths’ It’s not. He is done, either way. If we suddenly bought every shirt and sold out every game, he would do exactly the same, which is put in absolutely nothing. The EFL are actually trying to put pressure on in one of the limited ways they can-by saying ‘until you prove you can and will fund the wages of this club, you can’t add to the squad’. It’s rubbish and it’s going to lead to a record low points score, but it’s the reality of him trying to cling on and play kick the can. And every time anyone spends a pound and gives it to him, it allows him to keep it on life support

Seen this knocking about a bit today. We can’t bring any players in. The EFL won’t allow us to until he shows he can pay their wages all year. He can’t do that. So unless it’s a takeover, this is the squad and will remain the squad.

We can’t strengthen. We’re not allowed due to the idiot in charge

And when the vote they’re having comes back overwhelmingly to boycott and it’s decided it is the effective action, thoughts then?

The ‘footballing consequences’ thing is making you look really silly. A flukey win over a Leeds reserve team in what is sadly now a nothing cup will really not have the huge season changing impact you think it will. It’ll be forgotten by the week after. You’re twisting a huge Chansiri out moment-a moment where we could all stand up as a fan base and say ‘you’ve taken us for granted for long enough’ into a footballing one, it’s not the other way round. All the William Wallace monologues in the world doesn’t change the truth-by going, you are giving him money. You’re fine with that, that’s your call, but spare us the football impact stuff.

Yeah totally agree mate. Best thing is the steady build of publicity all this is getting finally

I understand the sentiment in both this and the post you’re replying to, but there is a big part of me that thinks I’m not really bothered if it irritates Leicester fans, or if we end up spoiling match days for every supporter in the league until this is sorted. And I hope I would support it if any other club was being destroyed like we are and we were inconvenienced

Of course he will be. Who else would it be from?

Totally agree. That’s why it’s a very clever strategy-ask a load of questions they already know the answer to and push them. There’ll be some awkward chats happening at EFL level I think

Feels like we’re such a test case for all this. The EFL and football authorities have always said they don’t need a regulator because they can do it themselves. What I love about what the trust and Clive Betts are doing this week so they’re saying to the EFL ‘prove you can do it then, or the IFR will have carte blanche to do what they want and ignore your views’

Reading that letter has been the first bit of hope I’ve felt all summer. Really brilliantly put together and makes me proud to be a trust member

Because, and I cannot stress this enough, he is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is. Everyone is below him, everyone is an employee and the idea that they have lives or independent thought, just doesn’t occur
