The Foxes Trust stands as a steadfast advocate for the Leicester City faithful, labouring with singular intent to safeguard the best interests of the LE2 club and its community. They recently promulgated an expansive survey; urging the entirety of the supporter base to contribute their perspectives, a call to action mirrored across social media platforms by organisations such as Foxes of Leicester.
This initiative represents a pivotal effort to bridge the widening chasm between the loyal support and the corridors of power on Filbert Way. Such democratic, not-for-profit bodies are essential to the modern game, as they provide a formal, structured mechanism for fans to exert influence, ensure accountability and champion the long-term sustainability of the institutions they cherish.
Bad outcome for Jon Rudkin with 93% Leicester City disapproval rating
​Through their responses, the City faithful articulated five salient demands to the ownership. First, they call for the immediate departure of chief football officer Jon Rudkin, whose tenure has been marred by systemic underperformance.
"Ninety three percent of those who took part in the survey are dissatisfied with Rudkin’s promotion. Rudkin has a new title of chief football officer at the club after previously serving as Director of Football."Leicestershire Live
Furthermore, the LCFC supporters seek a complete reset of the Fan Engagement Framework. A necessity given the perceived erosion of genuine dialogue between the board and the terraces.
​Economic accessibility remains a primary concern. Leading to a direct demand for significantly reduced ticket prices to better reflect the current reality of the supporter experience.
"Furthermore, 92% of fans lack confidence in the club’s financial future and 91% agree that player recruitment has been poor. 94% believe the management of contracts and wages for players has been poor and 82% feel disconnected from the club."
Additionally, there is a desperate requirement for the club to communicate a "credible" five-year plan. Evidently, the present lack of strategic vision continues to unsettle the fan base.
Finally, the trust insists that The King Power International Group must actively consult with the support regarding matchday experiences. This shall ensure that the very people who animate the stadium are granted a voice in shaping its atmosphere and operations. This is a critical juncture for Leicester, and the voices of the supporters demand to be heard.
