Foxes fans roast Leicester All Star XI for 5000-1 match

By their own design and recurring ineptitude, the Leicester City Football Club hierarchy have spiraled into a position of absolute mockery. Believe it or not, the Foxes' Blue Army does not wish for their storied organisation to be lampooned across the sporting world as the quintessential whipping boys.

The loyal support would much rather be working toward their former pedestal of global admiration. Yet it appears that with the wildly unsuitable Jon Rudkin presiding as chief football officer (a bloated, management-jargon title if ever this writer has seen one) and increasingly inept chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha calling the shots at King Power Stadium, City remain the butt of the joke.

The Foxes faithful have been humorously roasting Leicester City's All Star opposition XI for the 5000-1 match

Supporters in Leicestershire are certainly not in the dark about being one of the most poorly managed sides in existence; there is no longer any hiding that grim reality. ​It is, however, a particularly stinging indictment when a team's own fan base join rivals in rightly deriding them.

This hostile reception is entirely justifiable, especially when considering the motivation behind the club's latest PR blunder. The appetite among Leicester faithful for the 5000-1 anniversary match (a celebration of the 2016 miracle) was already hovering at a dismal nadir.

The organisation's decision to frame this event as a retrospective triumph while the present-day reality is so starkly embarrassing has only deepened the divide. Once the underwhelming nature of the supposed "All-Star" opposition was finally revealed, observers had a field day, turning what should have been a nostalgic tribute into a (sadly) humorous display of how far this once-mighty club has fallen.

The juxtaposition between an absolutely historic achievement of a decade ago and the current administration's hollow gestures serves only to highlight the tragic evaporation of the Foxes' former prestige. The away line-up is a cheap, comical, cop-out concoction.
