Leicester City is facing relegation after a disastrous season, sealing their fate in a recent match against Liverpool. Fans are frustrated, evident in the protest banner flown during the game. The team's struggles, with just one win since December and no home league goals for almost five months, suggest a deeper issue with management and player commitment. The sacking of previous managers and a disconnect among players point to a club at a critical juncture, needing a substantial rebuild for future success. Leicesterâs championship history now feels distant as they confront this challenging transition.
The drop had been coming - Leicester have won just once since December - and there was an air of resignation around the ground.
When the Foxes sacked Steve Cooper in October they were 16th, although the cracks were there.
There are unhappy and disconnected fans, players accused of giving up, and a manager in Ruud van Nistelrooy who has seen the Foxes get worse on his watch.
It reflected a club in need of a rebuild but how, and with who, are the biggest questions as Leicester face one of their biggest crossroads.
