Football pundit Gary Neville has expressed his worries about the state of Leicester City. The Foxes wrote one of the inspiring stories in sports, when they won the league in 2016. However, six years later the club is in all sorts of problems.
Leicester City currently sit rock bottom of the Premier League. The club has already lost six matches and have just a point from those fixtures.
The club parted ways with club legend Kasper Schmeichel and star defender Fofana. Strangely, the club has chosen not to find replacements for the departed players.
Football pundit Gary Neville asks the question on everyone’s mind. He also describes the worrying situation of the club.
“I really worry about Leicester,” he said. “Earlier on in the season when Kasper Schmeichel went to Nice, I thought ‘why? Why is that being sanctioned?’.
“We talk about character, he’s not only a very good goalkeeper, but you imagine the presence and impact he’d have on the dressing room. You just can’t replace that.
“They’ve lost [Harry] Maguire before, N’Golo Kante before, [Riyad] Mahrez, they’ve lost players before but I felt like it was a strange thing to do. Now, obviously, Fofana has left as well and I’d be worried if I was a Leicester fan.
“Then there’s obviously rumours that the manager is in trouble, he’s done a brilliant job there. What else was he supposed to say, Brendan Rodgers, that he expected the window to go better? I think everyone did – Leicester hadn’t signed a player up until right at the end.
“When you demoralise a dressing room, a coaching staff and a manager with the players that leave, it’s very difficult to recover that, so I would be very worried if I was Leicester, at this moment in time.”
