Leicester City's successive relegations to the English Football League Championship were totally unacceptable. Subsequent demotion to the lows of League One is consequently unforgivable for most of the loyal Blue Army fan base!
Yet, on Tuesday evening, that disgraceful status was confirmed at King Power Stadium amidst parity with a visiting and far-from-amazing Hull City. The profligate LCFC couldn't even beat the Tigers on their own field of play.
The Leicester City outrage
Following the match, outraged Foxes supporters tried to confront as many poorly performing City 'professionals' as possible. Hamza Choudhury, Jamaal Lascelles and others were accosted. While other examples ducked out; somehow avoiding the assembled mob of rightfully angry Leicester loyalists.
The person the faithful really want to confront is the silent but deadly, by all accounts, Jon Rudkin. Though the chief football officer is currenty worried for his safety, according to the ever-in-the-know John Percy of The Telegraph.
"An era of errors from “Top” to bottom. He has placed too much faith in senior figures, such as chief football officer Jon Rudkin, who is a constant target for fans.Fox Sports
“It is understood that Rudkin does not even feel safe nowadays walking around the city where he was born."
The fall from the dizzying heights of 2016 to the ignominy of the third tier represents a spectacular, almost poetic, decay of a modern sporting institution. Rudkin, the long-standing previous director of football and architect of this sporting cataclysm, has become the focal point of a visceral, justified vitriol.
As the final whistle echoed against Hull's stubborn resistance, the ground transformed into a crucible of resentment. The "King Power" moniker now carries a bitter irony: no power remains, only a vacuum filled by the cries of those who saw their heritage squandered through financial arrogance and recruitment paralysis.
While players faced the immediate physical gauntlet, Rudkin's perceived insulation from accountability has only seemingly sharpened public discourse. This is no longer merely a sporting failure: it is a civic mourning for a club that once defied gravity who are now immovably anchored to the depths of League One. Foxes will, in reality, merely hope he leaves - as soon as possible!
