Leicester City Football Club are waiting for the end of the month in order to make a major change in the team's leadership. Any alterations must occur very soon with preseason friendly matches only two weeks away now. Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to be sacked, if we trust media stories on the matter. The squad therefore needs closure, understanding and organisation or it'll be another punishing and devastating campaign, this time in the Championship.
But the East Midlands side's hierarchy appears to be conflicted over which managerial candidate should take over from the unfancied Dutchman. Chairman and King Power owner Aiyawatt 'Khun Top' Srivaddhanaprabha is said to desire a different approach to former gaffer Steve Cooper or van Nistelrooy's methods. A so-called 'younger, up-and-coming, malleable manager who doesn't cost the outfit much to appoint'.
We are led to believe that LCFC director of football Jon Rudkin is 'pushing' for seasoned Premier League underdog head coach Sean Dyche to be installed. Rudkin's selection for the potential new Leicester boss clearly puts him directly at odds with his superior, Khun Top. What's the latest on Filbert Way? Will Dyche be the next King Power chief? And what does Foxes of Leicester think about it all?

The Sun claims LCFC bosses have decided to sack van Nistelrooy. Why are Leicester waiting to dismiss van Nistelrooy? Essentially, they are awaiting the subsequent 'financial year', or 'accounting period' to begin. When is that? July 1.
Who's going to succeed the ex-Manchester United man? Well, Dyche is now the favourite with the bookmakers. Could Rudkin's stance on the Kettering-born boss put him back in harm's way?

The former Everton and Burnley gaffer has overtaken Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl. Though the reported incompatible, respective visions at the King Power must be overcome or compromised on.
