Is it a disaster that Leicester won’t be in Europe next season?

However, who is playing regularly, strengthening the XI with additions and who steers the ship is constantly up for debate in the vast majority of outfits. Rodgers is likely to stay, as I mention. Reportedly he has a great relationship with the owner and his people, like director of football Jon Rudkin and chief executive officer Susan Whelan.

I could put it this way for better perspective: if Rodgers and his players do not secure Euro qualification from the upcoming 2022/23 term, he will likely be amicably relieved of duty. In spite of that hypothetical prediction, I actually think another wonderful FA Cup triumph or possibly attaining the League Cup is more achievable without foreign football to concern themselves with. Should he and his staff remain, they should appoint a specialist set-piece guru – and fast!

Obviously the major problems over the position LCFC are in shall be a loss of revenue, first of all. But the element supporters will be more worried about, is merely having domestic action means some important potential signings won’t occur. Furthermore, the anxiety of losing stars like James Maddison is already palpable. It is worth remembering the club’s acute eye for a moneyball-esque bargain, here.

Youri Tielemans will finally, surely, have made his mind up to depart now. If he hadn’t already. But a significant fee will ease the faithful’s dismay. Reinvesting wisely is, of course, key. All in all, this isn’t a disaster, the incredible progress made by Leicester City Football Club has simply taken a year’s hiatus.
