Things are now moving at King Power Stadium, thankfully. It appears the heavily criticised owners and executives of Leicester City Football Club have finally got their 'backsides' in gear, as the saying goes in Leicestershire and elsewhere in England.
Russell Martin is now in place; notwithstanding being an unpalatable choice to many members of the Blue Army. Nevertheless, the former Swansea City, MK Dons, Southampton and Rangers man must be backed by the ownership if he is to succeed.
​In spite of lingering reservations, it would be more promising if the City support got behind the 40-year-old too. Although, if he is obstinate whilst losing - he'll be for the chop too!
Hopefully Martin has learned from the errors of his past and is prepared to make progress for the collective good of the club. Rather than merely for his own advancement.

Meanwhile, a few management questions remain unanswered on Filbert Way, specifically regarding the assembly of the new backroom staff. Martin is reportedly attempting to reconnect with his former associates, though it remains uncertain whether Rhys Owen and Matt Gill will choose to abandon their current postings to rejoin him.

One figure expected to remain in the fold, however, is a quintessential LE2 legend in Andy King. "Kingy's" illustrious career at LCFC stands as a testament to unparalleled loyalty, having entered the academy then subsequently becoming a cornerstone of the side that achieved the impossible.
As I currently understand, there is no change in Andy King's position at the club as first-team coach.

King remains the only player in the Premier League era to secure winners' medals in the top three divisions of English football with a single organisation. From the humble depths of League One to the dizzying heights of the top-flight title and the UEFA Champions League, his contribution remains etched forever into the bedrock of this historic institution.
