Leicester City supporters have spent the last few years feeling distant from the ownership, frustrated by silence and confused by the direction of the club. But in a rare and deeply honest moment, Chairman Aiyawatt Top Srivaddhanaprabha has finally addressed that criticism head-on — and what he revealed has hit Foxes fans right in the heart.
In his new, emotionally charged interview, Top accepted the complaints from supporters with full responsibility, making it clear he understands why many felt abandoned.
The criticism from fans is simple: we don’t hear enough from you.
Top did not dodge it.
He did not deflect it.
He owned it entirely.
“I think it’s my fault, because I used to talk to fans and media. I have a lot of responsibility in Thailand. Covid changed a lot for us”
For the first time since the turbulence began, fans finally got the answer they’ve been begging for — an explanation of why the chairman who was once extremely visible suddenly went quiet.
Top’s responsibilities in Thailand increased massively, and the aftermath of Covid created challenges that forced him to step away from the public eye far more than he ever wanted. But he also made it clear: his silence wasn’t because he stopped caring, and it wasn’t because he disappeared emotionally from the club.
“I know how social media works, I’m generation Y”
This wasn’t a man running away.
This was a man overwhelmed, carrying pressures on multiple fronts.
And now — he’s watching again. Closely.
Top wants this interview to mark a reset between Leicester City and its fanbase. A reconnection. A rebuilding. A return to the communication and unity that once made Leicester one of the most admired clubs in England.
He openly admitted fault.
He showed vulnerability.
And for the first time in a long time, Leicester fans feel seen.
What happens next will define the future of the club — but this moment?
This moment mattered.
Top is watching. 👀
