What The HELL Happened To Leicester City? | Explained 

They should’ve sold players like Maddison,Telemanns, Ndidi and Söyüncü when teams were inquiring about them

keeping Rodgers for 12 months too long has played a big part, also giving him the majority of say in transfers, his notable signings which our scouts said no yet Rodgers said yes anyway include Vestergaard, Perez, Bertrand and selling Kasper

Totally saddening to see Leicester City being trapped in the relegation zone but I am fully hoping for Dean Smith sir to show his magic to guide this team to move away from the relegation zone,good friends!!!🙏

You definitely downplayed the role Rodgers had in this, there was an Athletic article stating that he was responsible for multiple medical and recruitment staff members leaving the club after he went against their advice signing players like Vestergaard and a training routine that led to multiple injury crises

In La Liga, there is a similar situation about one of the big clubs. Valencia were still locked in 18th. Previously, the club was once a major European force, winning 2 La Liga titles, the UEFA Cup in 2004, and also played 2 Champions League Finals in 2000 and 2001. When Peter Lim arrived, the club went from bad to even worse, despite winning 2 further Copa del Rey titles, qualified for the Champions League and the Europa League semifinals in multiple occasions, with the recent one being in 2018-19.

Losing Kasper was a big one I know his post shot xg last season was awful but he was also a crucial voice for the side and he's shown in moments at Nice he can still perform lack of investment for sure another big one but most importantly I knew at the end of last season most of the squad had to be moved on a rebuild had to take place all the fans knew even Brendan knew not financially but reputation wise we were in a much better position to do that than we will be this summer.

This may be controversial coming from a Spurs (and Forest fan from Nottingham) but I have big soft spot for Leicester and am personally hoping they stay up. The next two games with be crucial for them. I was hoping that they would win the FA Cup in 2021 but unfortunately was slightly too young to remember their league title in 2016 (despite being 20). As a East Midlander I've found it important that Leicester have been in the Premier League because they're in the same region as us

from Premier League winners to relegation within 6 years crazy how they are still so heavily in debt despite being involved in some of the biggest sales of players in the Prem

Rodgers always does this, he might start well, but at the end he turns football clubs of reasonably decent repute into utter shite. It's a shame, I love the story of Leicester City, it's nothing short of amazing. Fare thee well, Leicester. Let's hope that we will see you again soon. From a Liverpool fan.

"There are not many Premier League clubs who would consider 2022/2023 a success" That statement doesn't make any sense in a zero-sum game like football.. the amount of succes that the football teams in a league will have is surely constant? I mean, there will necessarily always be teams that have success: in this case Brighton, Aston Villa, Brentford, Wolves, Manchester City...

they are paying for repeated transfer failures over the past 4 years.

You could see how a proper striker can keep a side in the prem. We should sign a proper no.9 in the summer and a ball progressor with better defensive traits than Tielemans should come in. Appoint Ralph Hassenhuttl as Head Coach so that we get high press football and attract more players in future seasons to come to the King Power.

Losing Johnny Evans is huge…he’s a great defender

The main problem is they didn’t properly replaced their key figures. A lot of their signings are below par, combine with financial difficulties due to COVID, which lead to the squad cannot be strengthen. In additional to some serious injuries to first team players like Ricardo pereira and nididi etc. Results in very limited squad and so a downfall of Leicester

I remember saying that I thought Leicester would go down at the start of the season, having read about their financial situation and lack of quality in the squad. Most people gave me a look like I was mad, guess I proved them wrong

For me, they didn’t really replace the quality players they lost. You could argue for Ndidi, because no one in the world can do what Kante does, but Mahrez, and the defenders lost were not replaced.

Rodgers as destroyed everything good about the club, hes the worst manager in the clubs history. No other as taken the club so far down from what it was.

Rogers doesnt know how to try new formations and he lost the dressing room last season. but, is it all his fault? no! Leicester have a habit of selling our best players for a lot of money then spending a tiny portion of it on replacements. Signings like Daka, Perez, Bertrant, while letting chilwell, maguire, Mahrez and Fofana leave, have turned the team stale! They keep constantly injured players like Justin (who came to the team injured) Evans and Ricardo on the wage bill instead of releasing them and using the money to bring in some quality. Vardy is a legend but hes passed it.. get him off the wage bill and give Kelechi a go. Youri T, mads and the big turk will leave, although, Youri T is probably the shittest player we have and i'm glad he's going. but what do we do? if we dont buy AGAIN we are left with Praet, Mendy and Soumare. Ndidi will probably leave in the summer. It all comes down to the board and the owner. They shouldve sacked rogers a year ago. They say there is no money for players but they can build hotels and shopping malls around the stadium, not to mention the 100 million spend on the training facility... and what an improvement its made!! I understand their business is duty free and it took a hit during covid, but how can every other team in the prem and most of the teams in the championship spend more than us on players. The sell the best and bring in shite mentality has got us into big trouble. We really needed to strenghen up in defence so the buy Souter, a championship standard player while Rogers refused to play probably our best defender who will now leave on a free. TETE.....enough said! Tell me how we still havent managed to replace Mahrez? Lets get more defenders cos we only have like10, we have no cover for Barnes if hes injured. nobody to play right wing if Tete is injured. we rely on Vardy the dinosaur, Maddison who cant put a tackle in and Barnes who doesnt know how to pass! The team is a joke right now and needs a complete overhall at the end of the season. Am i being a little harsh? no!! Since the world cup there has been no effort to fix any of the problems, no effort shown on the pitch or off it. It's been painful and frustrating to sit through 90 mins each week. If they go down maybe it will wake the owners up as the wave byebye to 250 million in Tv rights. Dont just overhall the team, overhall the board and bring in someone to run our club the right way. As i write this I know we have Leeds tonight then Everton. If we play as good or better than we did on saturday relegation will be avoided. Dean is a smart man, He keeps us up and hes's a hero. We go down and it's not his fault cos we left it too late. If we do stay up we will be going into next season with 5-6 of our first team players gone. They put themselves in this position by letting contracts run down because once again they don't want to spend. If we go down probably 9-10 players will ask to be sold. although championship football is the right level for most of our playes! The shinning light... our new left back is looking like the full package and we have some very talented youngsters coming through hopefully they wont all be as bad as KDH. RANT OVER.

Hopefully they will improve sad to see them go downhill

Things would have been different if that made top 4 those two seasons and maybe had the revenue to spend

Should have sold tielemans last summer…now he will walk away for nothing

The crazy thing is none of the promoted teams are facing relegation this week.

One answer... Brendan Rodgers!!!

This is hypothetical because it never happened unfortunately, but when Ranieri took over at Leicester,he originally had a 3 year contract,which ,after we won it,he extended to 5 years. If he saw out his contract,and left in th Summer of 2020,and we had finished in the top 6 every season,he would have gone down as a proper Foxes legend,and a Premier League great.But,because he signed Zieler, Kapustka,Hernandez,Musa, Mendy and Slimani,and changed a winning style of football,he got sacked,we had to bring in Shakespeare as interim manager,then Puel, then Rodgers ! If Arsenal win the League this season,Arteta won't be sacked by February next year because Arsenal will all of a sudden disappear, which is what happened to us because Ranieri couldn't do his job properly ! That's why things have got like this at Leicester. Since the title win,we should have been established as a top half team,been in Europe one way or the other most seasons since 2016,and NOW,have a top pedigree manager.As long as I live I will NEVER credit Ranieri for winning us the title.As far as I'm concerned,it was Pearson and Shakey who won it for us !

Just like Blackburn, who were relegated 4 seasons after winning the league. Well at least Leicester managed to survive 7 seasons. It made Ranieri comment at the beginning of the season after they were champion, that the goal is to stay in the league felt prescient.

Nailed it.

Vichai would have never let schmeichel go

Sell Kasper a week before the start of the season and stick the No2 keeper in his place. That’s cost us a least 10points. We still wouldn’t have had a great season but would be getting relegated……which we definitely are now!

I can see Maddison moving this summer.

Big win today

Should have got rid of Rodgers before the world cup at latest. For 18 months the football as been dire. Very side to side, no intensity or intent. He has consistently played a system that hasn't worked and let personal grudges get in the way of playing his best side. As for the "lack of investment" Rodgers still had largely the same squad that finished 5th twice in a row, although Leicester don't spend big on players they have always been good at shrewd purchased made on analytics and stats a lot like how brighton do things, rodgers went against this and the advice of the scouting team bringing in sub par players on high wages such as vestegaard. Also by all accounts forcing schmeichel out and getting rid of a lot of long standing backroom staff has made the mess that they are in atm. Also the fact that unlike the late vichai, Top isn't as ruthless when making big decisions so let it stagnate far too long. Says it all that since Rodgers has gone soyucu has put in 2 Motm performances and Soumare had a worldie against wolves when previously he looked lazy and disinterested. I think Rodgers constantly throwing the squad under the bus shredded any confidence they had an Smith has a big job on his hands bringing that back

Fofana leaving, Soyuncu downing tools and Jonny Evans injured.

As an Arsenal fan I really like Leicester and feel very bad for them! Hope they stay in the Prem and fix this mess somehow!

Rodgers should have been three after those first 7 games

I blame Top and board more than Rodgers

Most goals conceded by counters and set pieces and own goals tells me there’s a problem with the manager. Those can be fixed with tactics, practice, and discipline.

Selling Maddison this year for the rebuild hopefully the next manager is ready for the job

more quality content nothing new for the FD lads

The problem with the focus on transfer fees ignores the largest portion of the clubs outgoings and presents a flawed view of clubs. Leicester wage bill is 7th highest, 79m a year. Higher than west ham, nufc, Everton, Villa,.. clubs that have larger sponsor revenue.

Couldn’t believe people actually try to replace the Big 6 clubs with Leceister. And now Newcastle. Even globally, Leceister have more fan than Newcastle. Too bad they most probably releagted this season

All credits to Rodgers

Great job, you nailed it. Everyone else took a step forward and Leicester took a step backwards. Schmeichel was declining, but not retaining or replacing him let a few more goals slip in putting them where they are now.

Do a similar video about Chelsea 😂

I can’t believe nobody has pointed out what seems to be obvious to me Rodgers is a good manager (not great) when he HAS a decent team Liverpool he almost won the league with players mostly there before him and they couldn’t defend especially set pieces He bought duds - Balotelli Ricky Lambert Suarez, Sturridge and Stevie almost won the league not Rodgers Maybe Couthino was his one good buy Celtic when he left after buying players Rangers won the league and now Celtic are top again Leicester he did well with the players that were there and then again bought duds PereZ Daka etc and Leicester can’t defend again especially set pieces Can anyone name one player Rodgers bought who improved the team or got better (again I can only think of Couthino but he’s shit the bed since leaving Liverpooo ) after he bought them? He buys dross His teams can’t defend He leaves

Simple reason is greed. Pure greed. Trying to be a hard negotiating club while demanding exorbitant transfer fees for their players has what's done Leicester. I want to see the same happen to Brighton and hove albion

Very interesting

Rodger’s was the root cause of the downfall

Karma for sacking Ranieri, for whom they should have built a statue but sacked him a year later.

The Foxes are baaaaaack! 23-24 Championship winners and returning this summer.

They always been an underdog anyways.What the hell happened to Chelsea is most shocking.

I thought leichester was well run wow

Been a fun journey, we will be back soon.

you're being to easy on rodgers. he refused to play our best players and he has been well backed imo. maybe not last year but he has overall. he has largely bought in rubbish players

Can't wait to see them relegated...

Big 6? Or do you mean the greedy 6? Think villa are 5 th most successful team in English football history, so they would be in the real big 6, but I guess that wouldn't fit into the media narrative, the phrase suggests it's a closed shop, most of these perceived big 6 are new money and only in last 20 years have they had success, but how are spurs perceived as a big 6 team?... Not after an answer but just goes to show the big 6 thing is bollocks lol

And then next season they’ll be PL champions again 😂😂

Its mostly Rodgers' fault.

rodgers is a very good manager ,the players that he wants are a problem , why because there wifes do not want to live in leicester , manchester london liverpool yes, but really who in the right mind would want to live here , come on

Jamie vardy got old and you sold gk with no replacement simple.

You forgot that they play music after goals. For that alone they should be relegated. Rugby town.

They are where they should be They just over performed

Leicester and Leeds to go down

Rodgers ego.

Rodgers should have been sacked after the second bottling of champions league place.

Almost like that title was a complete fluke

Rodgers is/was the problem. Has ruined Leicester.

Big problems with this video..a lot wrong!!!

You’ve got vardy and Maddison, two of the most useless players in the league at the moment, no wonder you are going down.

Can I just say enjoy the championship next season bye bye Leicester 🤣🤣🤣
