Not like Saddle to start some bullshit conspiracy against Doug.........

It's not starting a conspiracy is it you quilt

It's pointing out that it's pretty strange for an owner, who's only been here 18 months is front and centre of a squad photo

 

[Saddlebrains]

I actually can't get my breath that grown men are getting worked up about this

You asthmatic?

 

[alexccfc99]

The last home game of the play off season, he paraded round the pitch whilst the fans sang his song and ignored those that actually got us into that position (Gyokeres, Hamer etc).

From that moment it was obvious where this was going.

You mean here?

 

[rob9872]

Looks like a lot of keepers too!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Where’s Claire Marie Roberts?

 

[alexccfc99]

You talk a lot of sense at times but I can't believe you are making that big of a deal about this tbh

 

[rockwoodfleet]

It's not a conspiracy, the evidence that he's in the team picture is there.

He owns the club and is investing in it. Got every right to be in the photo.

Nope. Nothing odd about it at all. Only in the mind of a person who's been desperate to set a negative narrative around Doug from day one......

It's a picture of the footballing staff - is he playing this weekend or is he Robins' new assistant?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I remember robins saying only people on the pitch should be those that have earned it.

Doug hasn’t earned the right to be in the squad picture

Where’s Claire Marie Roberts?

I think Pete, Robins was on about the general public when there were a few running on the pitch at the time after Covid. Not the owner of our club.

I don't understand why it's a big deal.

He was and it’s not a big deal for me. If anything I quite like an owner caring and wanting to be a part of the football side of everything

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

A bit odd? Maybe. Worth a meltdown? No.

Doug is a lot more hands on than those of the Seppala era, so the fact he is around a bit more is perfectly fine by me. As long as he knows boundaries and isn't going to sit on the bench during a game or sponsor 'text a sub', I don't really mind.

 

[ccfctommy]

Yeah I think it's a bit strange. Nothing major though.

 

[fernandopartridge]

While I do think it is weird, it's tempered with the fact he's worn his business atire. It would have been very weird if he'd put some training kit on.

 

[Viktor17]

Very strange that Doug is in it

I'm sure if you were to look through the other 91 clubs in the top 4 tiers you won't find their owner in a squad picture

Doesn't exactly quell the views that he's too involved in the playing side of things does it

Agree. And he looks a mess also.

 

[Bugsy]

Also what I take from it is Ben Sheaf is in a full kit lol
Small positive

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I always thought it was weird that King did the lap on honour with the players and Robins back in 22/23 when he’d only been at the club for 4 months. Gave an early idea of what his approach was going to be.

Being hands on isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I do get the impression that King doesn’t really know that much about football so would prefer him to not get too involved with the playing side of things.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Calling bullshit on that, if Tim Fisher or Joy Seppalla we're in the squad photo you ( quite rightly) would go mental

If he starts appearing on the bench a la Ken Dulieu, then I’ll be worried

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

While I do think it is weird, it's tempered with the fact he's worn his business atire. It would have been very weird if he'd put some training kit on.

He’s gonna have his full kit ready ala John Terry if we ever win something

 

[higgs]

Can he play centre midfield?

yeah he has, he brought the club

 

[SkyBluePower]

I do think it’s a bit strange really. It shows egotism more than anything else.

Tend to agree. Not a massive deal and would understand if he wanted to be in a version of it for his Xmas Card etc but not the “squad” one.
He probably wants it to appear that “we are all one team” but just ends up looking like he is paranoid about being seen to be in charge.

I might be having a moment but where is Dasilva in that photo

No you’re right he’s not there, in years gone by they use to edit them rather badly in

 

[mmttww]

More bothered by that f*cking font tbf

 

[Deity]

That’s not a like for like comparison tbf, Leicester’s owner/family is a bit more etched in their history than King ours

Not really.

King Power are a Thai family / business, not from Leicester. They actually looked at Cov before buying Leicester.

The only difference is that King Power have been owners for longer through both success and tragedy.

I’ve no idea why someone would think it natural for leicesters owners to be in the squad photo but worrying that King is in ours, unless of course they had a thinly veiled agenda ….

Its awful

God I would go mental now, I’d be frantic they were coming back

 

[pusbccfc]

Ultimately, we complained Joy was never involved.

Now Doug is too involved.

When King/his family deliver top flight football, European campaigns and a major trophy to our football club they can do as they please.

He's in fancy dress, dressed as Doug King.

 

[pusbccfc]

At least he's not in the dougout...
