25%Doug has sorted nothing out. All he’s done is raise ticket prices and allow the club to spend about 25% of what we’ve received in transfer money.
What a tool, Doug doesn’t deserve sewer rats like you.Doug has sorted nothing out. All he’s done is raise ticket prices and allow the club to spend about 25% of what we’ve received in transfer money.
It’s the truth. He’s simply lucky he bought us just before we went on a brilliant run of form & made the playoff final, sending Hamer’s and Gyokeres’ price tags rocketing. Since then, he’s reinvested a paltry 25% of transfer income, he’s raised ticket prices, is forcing fans to pay for a statue etc etc.
We’d be in exactly the same position if SISU were still in charge. I think this worship of King is embarrassing and completely misplaced. Everything we have now is solely because of one man: Robins.
You should be fanning Doug and feeding him grapes you ungrateful bastard.What!?

No chance when we were pushing for playoffs and they both have a year left anyway.
Why notIt’s not banter. Why are we singing about hating Leeds? It’s embarrassing.
Why? Genuine question. What’s he done?
Nothing to do with Doug. That’s what happens when you have a good couple of seasons, which is all down to Robins.

Not true - we had home fans in all 4 stands early briefly when we were last in the Championship. I used to sit in the South Stand.
Ok, so Doug has laid some new grass down. Unbelievable.

?? Couldn’t care less. If you’re above the age of 12 and wearing/using anything bought from the club shot you need a hard drive check pronto.
For me it’s the recruitment and direct proactive planningIn the 18 months since they've left.
Crowds have gone from an average for 18,000 to 25,500.
We've sold out 28,000+ in 4 matches. Under SISU we managed that in a league match 2x since 2009 which includes a match where tickets were handed out for free and a match against Leeds in 2011.
We've got home fans in 4 stands at the stadium for the first time.
Training ground has been developed for the first time in 50 years (besides when one our fans paid for fucking changing rooms to be build a few years back).
Record season ticket holders.
An FA Cup semi final for the second time in our history.
Two club shops. Both stocked for once.
Could continue but it's just a fluke apparently.

….and fixed that window at training ground
Would ignore Porky he’s just a WUM or burner account for Dawkins or GIMOC
King gave Robins and Adi 4 year contracts. All players signed on longer term deals which gives us more security/value. No doubt he squeezed far more value out of hamer and Vik than SISU ever would and spent a lot more of the cash. There’s other stuff but he won’t listen.
Basically he’s running the club professionally which it hadn’t been for years
Ps still hate the song though, should only be sung if we’re 4-0 up or at the end…ideally after ive gone
Our average was lower because we were shite and never had a sniff of success. If we were genuinely pushing for playoffs like the last few seasons the attendances would be just as good as they are now. It’s nothing to do with Doug

We know nothing about Doug King really and yet he's idolised by some. Anyone after SISU was going to be an improvement .That’s because we sold so many season tickets off the back of a brilliant season last season, to which Doug had no hand in. Do you honestly think after 10 years of mid-table mediocrity we’d be averaging 25k+ just because we have Doug King as owner?
As for the Doug King chant, I actually retch every time I hear it. Unbelievably embarrassing. Apart from Leicester (understandably so), is there any other team in the country that sings an arse-licking song about their owner?
Indeed. The bar really wasn’t set very high though.We know nothing about Doug King really and yet he's idolised by some. Anyone after SISU was going to be an improvement .
Absolutely nothing against Doug King at all. He's spoken to the media, he's been at matches and he's just engaged much more than SISU ever did. Just like any owner probably should. This far in to his ownership I think it's way to early to start chanting his name .Indeed. The bar really wasn’t set very high though.
I've always stood by the view of we could have had Osama Bin Laden take us over after SISU and he would have been lauded

There seems to be a bit of collective amnesia on here that plenty thought SISU weren't that bad once we were back in the Championship

Incredible yesterday. Better than the last few games last season and PO semi at home?
