Exclusive 🚨: “This is a sackable performance” — former Leicester City star reveals why Russell Martin should be sacked. You won’t believe who is still supporting the club.

Leicester City’s difficult start to the season has come under fresh scrutiny after former Foxes winger Matt Piper delivered a strong assessment of Russell Martin’s position following another disappointing performance.

Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester, Piper admitted that he would not necessarily put his name to calling for Martin’s immediate dismissal, but insisted the display was serious enough to raise questions over the manager’s future.

“Do I want him sacked tonight? Maybe I am not putting my name to that but that was a sackable performance.”

Piper’s comments are likely to spark further debate among Leicester supporters, with frustration continuing to grow over the team’s performances.

The former Foxes winger stopped short of explicitly demanding that Martin be sacked immediately, but his description of the performance as “sackable” underlines just how concerned he is about the direction of the club.

For Martin, the pressure will only increase if Leicester fail to respond quickly. The manager will need his players to show greater consistency, intensity and quality on the pitch if he is to win back the confidence of supporters and silence the growing criticism.

Despite the criticism, there remains support for the club and a belief that Leicester can turn things around. The coming fixtures could now prove crucial for Martin as he attempts to change the mood surrounding the team.
