“And they will be paid 😭💔”: A journalist who is very close to the club names players who didn’t want Leicester City to win, and Gary Rowett keeps using them.

Leicester City’s slide towards League One gathered pace with a limp 1-0 defeat at home to Swansea City, a result that has exposed deeper issues within the dressing room as much as on the pitch.

With four games remaining and the Foxes now four points adrift of safety, the situation looks increasingly bleak.

Swansea arrived at the King Power Stadium with little to play for, yet departed with three points secured with minimal resistance, leaving a furious home crowd in their wake.

The decisive moment came early in the second half. Eom Ji-Sung surged from deep before picking out Zan Vipotnik, who finished emphatically off the crossbar for his 21st goal of the season. It was a goal that summed up Leicester’s frailties — an inability to cope with a basic transition.

Despite dominating the first half and registering 18 shots and 12 corners, Leicester once again failed to find the net. Gary Rowett later described the goal conceded as “absolutely ridiculous”.

The mood turned toxic as chants of “sack the board” rang out, with boos greeting the final whistle. Off-field issues, including a six-point deduction, have compounded matters, but concern now extends to the dressing room itself.

Reports suggest underlying tensions, pointing to a cultural problem rather than purely tactical failings — a worrying sign as Leicester edge closer to the drop.
