Leicester City are so precariously balanced at the moment, although they are tipping ever so slightly towards unbalancing, it must be said! The LE2 club's Blue Army fan base are particularly worried about potential administration; an aspect monetary experts have labelled a true possibility.
This financial fragility has birthed a profound erosion of confidence: leaving the support now almost entirely distrusting of the ownership, led by Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, known as Khun Top. The prevailing sentiment suggests that if Top relieves widely hated chief football officer, Jon Rudkin, of duty this summer, he would regain some respect and potentially a grasp on this floundering football team!
However, such a restorative eventuality feels unlikely due to Rudkin’s unfathomable Srivaddhanaprabha reverence. He 'really has a hold on Top' (to use the parlance of Smokey Robinson and The Miracles), maintaining a symbiotic yet stagnating grip on the Foxes hierarchy.
​Nonetheless, a growing consensus wishes for Top to sell and leave along with rudderless Rudkin. This desire for a clean slate has gained significant traction if we believe whispers emanating from Thailand, which were recently reported ostensibly true by BBC Sport.
"With much of the club's future income effectively mortgaged off at high interest rates, the owners must finance a rebuild.BBC
But if the noises coming out of Thailand are anything to go by, the King Power Group may not have the resources to do it."
The broadcaster's bombshell suggests that The King Power International Group may be facing internal money issues that render the continued stewardship of the Foxes prospectively untenable. As the company's liquidity is questioned, the once-solid foundation of the era appears to be crumbling under the weight of systemic debt and operational overreach.
Leicester stands at a harrowing crossroads where the glory of 2016 feels like a distant, haunting echo. Will new ownership emerge to steady this swaying vessel? Who knows, but the current trajectory suggests that the status quo is no longer a luxury LCFC can afford.
Does 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone' apply to Leicester City?
To play devil's advocate, the concen of uncertainty is also unpalatable. Better the devil you know controlling City?
