Foxes fans need to see changes: It’s time to organise
2025 is upon on, a fresh start for some but Chris Whiting has seen enough already this season, and in the past two, to issue a rallying cry to Foxes fans. The time is now to get organised.
Fellow foxes, it may only be the early days of January 2025, it’s time to face a hard truth. We are in deep trouble.
Nothing I'm going to say here is revelationary, and none of it has gone previously unsaid . But it has never been more timely than a week where more rumours of another PSR breach are coming to light and the EFL are ever circling, just waiting for us to get relegated.
For too long now, we’ve allowed ourselves to be lulled into silence and submission, watching as our once-proud club has spiralled into a never-ending rollercoaster of disarray.
The Big Strong Leicester Boys podcast put it best recently: criticism of the board seems to only surface after the latest unexpected defeat appears, making it come across as reactionary rather than principled. This opportunistic outrage does us no favours. It’s time to stop grumbling in defeat and start organising in earnest.
Let’s be honest: the whole club has become passive. As fans, we’ve mirrored the lifeless performances we’ve seen on the pitch over the last few years. Faced with unacceptable standards both on and off the field, too many of us have defaulted to silence—or worse, polite applause. How did we go from roaring champions to this?
Part of the problem is the inferiority complex that has plagued this club for decades. Even at the height of our success, there was a reluctance to truly believe we belonged. When we lifted the Premier League trophy in 2016, it felt like a beautiful anomaly. When we won the FA Cup in 2021, some of us still treated it as a lucky break rather than the culmination of a well-built project.
That mindset—the idea that we’re “punching above our weight” and should just be grateful—has seeped into how we respond to adversity. We were in League One 15 years ago in case you didn't know...
It’s why so many fans have accepted this decline without raising their voices. They see it as a comfortable inevitablity, a regression to a natural mean. We’ve internalised the idea that we’re small-time, that this is our level, and that we have no right to expect better.
But we should.
Looking back at 2022-23, many of us were too close to the situation to grasp the full absurdity of our decline. Just a few years ago, we were setting the standard: two consecutive fifth-place finishes, an FA Cup win, and nights under the lights in Europe. Now, we find ourselves battling relegation again.
Maybe that's why an organised protest feels more timely than ever - I'll confess, a part of me thought we'd come back up and be far more competitive than we have been. Now, it looks clear that the best case scenario is a never ending doomloop of relegation battles.
It needs to be stated in black and white. Jon Rudkin, Susan Whelan, and yes, Top too, have presided over one of the most catastrophic falls in modern football history.
This is not normal. In an era where it seems almost impossible for an established Premier League club to be relegated, Leicester City managed it. We went from being a model club to an object lesson in how not to run one.
Adding insult to injury, clubs we once comfortably outshone have now left us in the dust. Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham, and even provincial no marks like Notts Forest have overtaken us—not just on the pitch but in their ambition, organisation, and strategy.
How did it come to this? Leicester City earned over €600m in transfers over the last decade. That kind of money should have safeguarded our future. Instead, we find ourselves in a horrendous position on and off the field. Where is the transparency? Where are the results?
The internal review launched after our 2023 relegation has yielded no meaningful change. If anything, it feels like a smokescreen to pacify the fans. There is nothing to hang on to. No vision, no accountability, and no reassurance.
Imagine this happening at any other club. Do you think fans at Leeds, Newcastle, or Aston Villa would sit quietly and accept this level of mismanagement? They wouldn’t. And neither should we.
This is bigger than any one game, any one season, or any one individual. This is about holding the board accountable for meekly surrendering the greatest position this club had ever had.
We are not a small club. Our success was not a fluke. We are a club with a history of punching above our weight and proving people wrong. But that spirit is being crushed under the weight of mismanagement, passivity, and an outdated inferiority complex.
We deserve more. It’s time for a formal protest. Our club’s future depends on it.
