Hundreds is a non specific number, but if there were less then 1000 joining the protest, it would have been ignored by most of the Leicester supporters as it was 31 968 inside King Power Stadium for the game vs. Arsenal.
The noise and public attention suggested that it would be a protest with massive support and that every Leicester fan were behind this to happen, that is far from the truth.
The protest was in real pointing at the ownership and director of football as it looks very childish and far from the action needed. All support should be positive, at least on a matchday, if you are in no support of the current team, owner or management, please stay away on matchdays. We all know the situation very clearly, with 9 losses in the last 10 games, you are of course not happy, but nothing else than massive positive support will improve results short term.
Looking at the word supporter, you will find a direct explenation: A person who is actively interested in and wishes success for a particular football team. So when chips are down, you should not rally around, hiding your face in a fox costume, at least show your face.

Today as always, Jon Rudkin was in the stands, doing his job and being at the ground. The owner Khun Top was not, as he do not attend every game, and in real why should he be around for this one, if he had other plans, possibly spending time with his family or part of a planned arrangement being arranged sometime in the past.
As a supporter of this football club, just stay away if you have no interest in the club getting a positive result on a matchday, against Arsenal a draw was close, but a very difficult opponent with a total different budget and under no problems to use the cash needed, based on their total revenue, giving them a much broader space regarding PSR and FFP.
As we all know this football club is in good hands, but as Khun Top explained in his statement, PSR is a subject to follow up on, not stretching the clubs financial situation even more, making signings of players that would see this problem appear in the close future.
We do believe in Leicester as a club and as history often repeats it self, a club of this size in fanbase will in time be up and down the divisions. There are difficulties for a club like Leicester to find stability in Premier League as we have seen over years. Forest, Aston Villa and Bournemouth are this season flying high, Brighton and Fulham are also having a good season. Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton are all struggling, Wolves and Everton are also down, far below their own expectations.
Leeds, Sheffield W, Sheffield U, Derby and Coventry are other clubs with a long life in the top flight currently out of the best party. Norwich, Blackburn, Stoke and Queens Park Rangers are others who have seen better life in the past.
Leicester, since their start of excistence, have been down in tier two, even in tier three, to get back up and fight at the top. As a club, the size and fanbase in total, will always see the club challenged as they will have problems keeping their best players. Sometimes the rotation of players, transfers and youth recruitment could be wrong. In the past local heroes such as Emile Heskey and Gary Lineker wanted to leave the club, to evolve and develope, not a problem to understand. But this is the major problem, being able to find a good enough replacement, and with such talent sold, you will struggle and as we did see, one or two years later the club faced relegation.
Sometimes you have the ability to bring in good replacements, but as we did see with Mark Bright and Ade Akinbiyi, they never filled the gap and a decline happened. The problem would possibly have been much larger if no player at all had been signed. This is a very complexed situation to solve, as we should remember everything Jon Rudkin has done for this football club, regarding commitment and a number of fantastic signings being made, as well as being an important part of the clubs structure for a very long time. Sadly at the moment we do have a bit of a dipper and if the club finds it suitable with a change it will potentially happen without a protest.
Again, every fan should do what they like to, but we do believe that a very small number of fans actually are interested in this type of arrangement and as we did see today, this is a minority speaker and should not be the voice of Leicester supporters at all, no way. This football club do have a lot of positives and different aspects about them, that in all gives the community a good feed. Hopefully results will come good, either a division down or in a new season in Premier League.
