We have today published an article on the continued silence from LCFC:
https://foxestrust.co.uk/11888/lcfc-and-the-communication-void
The club has remained largely silent since relegation, other than brief comments in the Southampton home game programme, and the recent announcement about contract extensions for ‘nine rising stars’.
Leicester City supporters have heard nothing from the club about whether Ruud van Nistlerooy will be with us for the start of the 2025/26 Championship season, and seemingly, from his comments, he doesn’t know either. There may be valid and legitimate legal reasons for that because of the PSR / financial situation, but we’re left in limbo for now.
There has been nothing from the club about where they may have got things wrong.
This is after a season which saw us relegated on 20 April, after nine Premier League home games in a row without scoring, accumulating a meagre points total, and still with five games to play.
There’s been no accountability or responsibility, and no indication of what the plan is regarding playing staff and style of play when the Championship season starts on 8 – 10 August … in nine weeks.
One of the big issues raised at the meeting of Fans Consultative Committee Working Groups on 30 April was the growing disconnect between the fans and the club, and the failure of the club to communicate.
Foxes Trust Board Member Harry Gregory represented the Trust at the event on 30 April, along with Ian Bason who attended in his role as the Trust representative on the Fan Advisory Board.
The minutes have now been published, but unless you dig deep into the LCFC website, they are difficult to find. Both our Trust Board members taking part believe them to be a very fair representation of the sessions they took part in, and Harry said it was good to read that the minutes accurately stated:
“It was felt that the disconnect between fans and the Club was largely due to a ‘communication void’ from the Club. Group members felt unhappy with the lack of communication from senior leaders/owners at the Club about relegation and requested a statement from the owners/leaders.”
Despite the ‘communication void’, being spelt out to the club in the fan engagement meetings, and it being openly referred to in the minutes drafted by the club, over a month later, nothing changes.
The minutes, which record a wealth of information of interest to most LCFC supporters, are buried on the official website.
Issues like …

It really is worth a read and we’d encourage you to do so. Meanwhile we wait to see when LCFC will improve the way they engage and communicate with their supporters.
