We explain and opine on why Lee Carsley was spotted at Leicester City Football Club. Is the England Under-21s head coach getting ready to take over at King Power Stadium? Current Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is not expected to survive the summer on Filbert Way. Many supporters in the East Midlands are now wondering when the Dutchman will depart. Along with pondering which known, or possibly unknown, gaffer will replace the ex-Manchester United man.
In addition to covering that LCFC topic, there is news to assess elsewhere in the LCFC sphere. One top Foxes starlet has been criticised for his performances of late. While on loan at relegated Cardiff City, the quality of Will Alves' displays dropped significantly. Sections of the Bluebirds support were also displeased with the loanee Fox's displays towards the end of the season. Let's discover what's going on in both stories and try to decipher the reasons for the drama.
Promising Foxes prospect chastised for Cardiff City showings after disaster strikes in Wales
We feel your pain in Leicestershire, Cardiff fans! They have also been relegated. And, following a great start initially, the Leicester-loaned Alves could not aid the Bluebirds' cause.
Of course, the young professional thanked the faithful via social media on the way out, as is the norm. Yet the Welsh fan base weren't particularly pleased with Alves.
WalesOnline’s Glen Williams suggests fans' 'patience eventually wore thin' with the 20-year-old. The reporter says Alves lost his place and was consequently used as a last resort at Cardiff City Stadium.
Why Lee Carsley was at Leicester City's
Carsley is the manager most closely connected with taking over from van Nistelrooy at LCFC, from what I've seen and heard. However, he was most likely at the King Power to watch Southampton footballers in his role with the Three Lions U21s.
Although, hopefully Carsley was impressed with his experiences in LE2.
