Who’s to blame for Leicester relegation? Part 1: Top and Jon Rudkin

With a first relegation in 15 years, this is the lowest many Leicester City supporters will be feeling right now.

seeing their club sleepwalk into relegation for what seems like a very long time has left a very bitter taste in fans’ mouth and naturally who is at fault is the main talking point amongst fans. As Jon Rudkin and Susan Whelan begin this week assessing where the season went wrong (why are we waiting for the season to be over to assess this?) , I will break down those elements to pinpoint where the problems are and help address them before its too late. Part 1 is the club hierarchy.

Leicester City owner Khun Top Srivaddhanaprabha

Less than 24 hours after Championship football was confirmed, the club’s owner released a statement that tried to take stock of everything that has happened over the last 13 years in a valiant attempt to make the Leicester City fans not dwell on the negatives for too long. Time will tell how that goes down with the Foxes faithful but the headline grabber drew attention to the messages of abuse:

"“Some want me to sell the Club, some using offensive and thoughtless words, and some have been outright abusive.”"

Such nonsense abuse is ridiculous given all that his family has given to the club and the city, but it is telling that he felt the need to address the abuse in his statement. How the outfit has fallen so quickly with little investment and most importantly little action is troubling. It seems common parlance amongst fans that LCFC acted far too late when relieving Brendan Rodgers of his duties, particularly after some truly disastrous displays at the start of the season. There were plenty of opportunities to sack the Northern Irishman.
