In terms of saving Leicester's place in the English Premier League, it's too little, too late. There have, furthermore, been too many atrocious moments and matches as a whole throughout the season. This was true before Ruud van Nistelrooy came in and has been the case after the current gaffer took over.
Even so, City have now won four points over their last two games. More importantly, the Foxes did what was asked of them from their current circumstances.
Relegation was sealed long ago. As a professional, throughout the club, the responsibility against Nottingham Forest and for the remaining fixtures is to show some form of amends, aiming to slightly make up for some of the past dismal performances.
Again, this does not allow anyone to overlook the season that resulted in earning the demotion into the Championship. Instead, the onus for everyone at Seagrave is to continue to put their best foot forward and end the year on as much of a positive note as possible, despite everything.
By and large, LCFC achieved that at the City Ground in their 2-2 draw. They conceded preventable goals. That's going to happen against quality teams. Even in a current slump compared to earlier, Nuno Espírito Santo's side always possesses a danger to punish mistakes from others and convert.
Arguments could have been made that City were lucky to hold on. Conversely, their late push saw the Foxes asking more questions; Jeremy Monga wasn't too far off from scoring the game-winner after all.
Both sides earning a point on the day was a fair and deserved result.
For all of the supporters asking for RvN's removal, the track record that ultimately led to demotion is more than enough to warrant a sacking. On the business side of things, however, these things tend to have more intricacies.
Slight turnaround could be enough for RvN to stay at Leicester
Setting aside the contract aspect, it's important to evaluate how the Dutchman has done since taking over. While LCFC may not have had anything to play for, Nottingham certainly did. The Foxes showed something that has been lacking during this stretch of losing. City did well to not only even things up but, as mentioned, looked more daring to seize the full three points in stoppage time.
Last impressions are what matter the most in a lot of walks of life. Considering the club would likely be heavily reluctant to pay for another manager's sacking in such quick succession and that the product is improved, Leicester supporters may need to start warming up to the idea of van Nistelrooy leading their side in the ensuing promotion battle.
