Why is the appointment of a manager still delayed?” 😱😱😱: Khun Top has revealed the real reason why Leicester City have not hired a new manager — this is the reason he gave that surprised everyone

It has been more than a month since Leicester City were relegated and three weeks since their final match of the season.

But beyond announcing that Ricardo Pereira will be leaving the club this summer, there has been nothing released publicly that suggests any real preparation for next term in League One.

The squad retained list has still not been published, while there has been no clear update on Gary Rowett’s position or who may replace him.

Rowett’s contract is due to expire and it is widely expected that Leicester City will move in a new direction regarding their League One manager.

However, while supporters are growing increasingly frustrated by the silence, the delay in appointing a boss could yet open the door to a stronger candidate becoming available.

This week, reports have emerged that Stoke City are considering potential changes, with Stoke City believed to be sounding out replacements for Mark Robins.

It was another underwhelming campaign for Robins, with a strong start fading badly after nine wins from their opening 17 matches left them second in late November.

But just six victories from the next 29 games saw them slide into the bottom half again, finishing 17th.

Robins appeared increasingly frustrated towards the end of the season and was not shy in his assessment of his squad, saying in early April that “one or two aren’t bothered about being here”.

If those fractures lead to a split between Stoke and the manager, Leicester’s long search could yet present a fresh option in Leicester City.

While this season has not gone well for Robins, there is still much to admire, particularly his work at Coventry, where he guided them up through the divisions, including out of League One, and helped lay foundations later built upon by Frank Lampard.

His transfer dealings also proved impressive, with players such as Viktor Gyökeres and Gustavo Hamer developed into major assets before being sold for significant fees.

He also restored belief at the club and reconnected supporters with the team at the CBS Arena.

His ties to Coventry would not be as sensitive as other managerial situations, especially given his previous spell as a player.

For Leicester, his experience could make him an attractive option, but only if they are willing to wait for developments at Stoke.
