Leicester City's Premier League triumph in 2016 still goes down as one of the awe-inspiring fairytale stories in English football.
The Jamie Vardy-led Foxes somehow lifted the Premier League against all the odds, with a large chunk of his 200 goals for his beloved club coming during Leicester's glory years at the very top.
Now, ten years on from tasting these unbelievable successes, Leicester could be plying their trade in League One come the close of the depressing 2025/26 season.
The King Power outfit are a club in freefall, but their current situation isn't all down to gutless performances on the pitch.
Instead, financial mismanagement has led them down this distressing route, with the club docked six points earlier in the season - to properly throw them into the relegation picture - due to a breach of profit and sustainability rules.
The one-time FA Cup winners sinking down to the third tier would have been unthinkable just five seasons ago, when they were competing in the Europa League and finishing in fifth spot in the Premier League.
Too many financial gambles have landed the Midlands giants in this sticky spot, with March's reorganisation to hand Jonathan Rudkin a role as Chief Football Officer only ramping up the toxicity levels.
It's becoming ever more likely by the day that Leicester could be playing against the likes of Burton Albion and Peterborough United next season, two local clubs who have very rarely dined in the same circles as the Foxes as of late.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has weighed in with his gloomy thoughts on what a relegation down to League One could do to a Leicester side that is sinking to depths once deemed as unthinkable.
Maguire offers his grim thoughts
Of course, Leicester have been sucked down to these depths before, with the 2008-09 campaign seeing them drop to the level for just one season, as they went on to emphatically lift the title.
This time around, if they were to drop, there's no guarantee they'd be able to pull off the same swift return, as the footballing landscape has changed significantly since then.
As Maguire explains, so much money will be lost if Rowett and Co. fall to League One.
He stated, when speaking to the Leicester Mercury: "Going down from the Premier League to the Championship meant an immediate hit of around £70m from broadcast money."
That's a significant sum of money to miss out on, for a club that has previously splashed out an alleged £100m on just upgrading their training complex.
Further going on to explain that they'd only receive £1m in a new TV deal, with their income also being hit by not being able to sell as much on hospitality packages, grave times do look to be ahead for Leicester if they don't manage to get their current state under control.
It puts so much pressure on the shoulders of Rowett to succeed, alongside his group of stressed players, as he hopes the football can do the talking between now and the end of the season, to hush all this gloomy speculation.
