AdminLeicester City are braced for a summer of significant change after their relegation to League One was confirmed, with several senior players expected to leave the club in the coming weeks.
The Foxes’ fate was sealed on Tuesday night following a 2-2 draw with Hull City, a match in which they at least showed a level of spirit that had been missing for much of a deeply disappointing campaign. By then, however, the damage had already been done, and the point did nothing to alter the club’s slide into the third tier.
The mood around the club has turned increasingly sour in recent weeks. Frustration among supporters has spilled over after matches, with ugly scenes underlining the anger felt by a fanbase that has watched a dramatic decline from former Premier League champions to League One.
Chairman Aiyawatt ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha has accepted responsibility for the club’s failings, while calls for major changes behind the scenes continue to grow louder as Leicester prepare for a crucial rebuild.
Gary Rowett is also set to leave his position as manager at the end of the season, leaving the club searching for a new man to lead them into an uncertain future. Whoever takes charge will inherit a daunting task.
A number of departures are now expected, but among those likely to attract immediate interest are Leicester’s highest-value assets, with the club needing to reshape both the squad and its wage bill ahead of life in League One.
