19 defeats in 27 matches

Sean Dyche favourite to take over

I think Leicesters "Sliding Doors" moment was when Rodgers prioritised winning the FA Cup over qualifying for the CL.
CL consistently grows your club, attracts better players and makes you far more money. The other gives you glory and is meaningful for fans, but literally does fuck all for you next to being a regular CL team.
I think you can plot there downward spiral from that point on.
I think it was the delusion that they honestly thought that cause the won the prem they were going to be serious contenders every season after that.

If ever there was a fraud as a football manger (Avram Grant being the other) then Ruud is that man
Mind you they still beat us
his first game wasn't it? maybe have to put that down to Leicester players trying to impress the new gaffer before he had a chance to butcher things.............................
Not sure that he "butchered" things. They were already shit. There's a reason why the job was available and a reason why they were favourites to be relegated at the start of the season. Also, he had W3 D1 of his 4 games in charge at Man Utd just before they hired him. It's not like they hired him after he'd just relegated a team. But then, what kind of club would do that?

Either way, it seems that they're being slapped down for being audacious enough to win the PL rather than one of the usual suspects lifting the trophy.
Fucked up a shit load of expected/anticipated advertising revenue, that did - most of it probably already spent.
I'm not sure it's got anything to do with them winning the Premier league. Just mismanagement coming home to roost, and getting their comeuppance after trying to skirt the rules in calculated fashion last time they were in the Championship. Sure, they are easier to punish than Man City or Chelsea but it sounds like a slam dunk of their own making.

Understood King Power suffered because of Covid as it was in the duty free business & no one was travelling
The son who took over after the helicopter crash didn’t have the smarts of his father
Every small club is a few bad buys from plummeting
They escaped punishment when they went between divisions last time. Will get it this time around

Wasn't it to do with their financial situation? It wasn't possible or was a lot less advantageous financially to fire him before a certain date?

No doubt Sullivan's already done the sums and low balled in an offer.
