Leicester City must surely rank as one of the most storied clubs to grace EFL League One. It is definitely a demotion that feels akin to the tragic slaying of a grand, mythic dragon.
Yet the Foxes remain a wily adversary; bolstered by a reported £10 million war chest that should provide sufficient armour to evade the permanent basement of England's third tier. As lovely as it is to reside there!
​The foremost note of optimism serves as a necessary balm for the Blue Army: ensuring that hope is not entirely extinguished in the wake of such a precipitous fall. Leicestershire's finest, however, are far from the only significant institution preparing for the rigours of League One football next season.
Some decent outfits in League One alongside Leicester City
Consider the presence of Sheffield Wednesday: the Owls remain a historically imposing force within the division. Alongside Wigan Athletic; the proud Latics famously ascended to FA Cup glory in 2013.
Acknowledging the former pedigree of Reading is a must; a side that has graced the top flight on several occasions. Not to mention Barnsley, whose own brief dalliance with Premier League status reminds us that the quest for immediate redemption is no simple task.

Furthermore, LCFC cannot even claim the title of possessing the division's highest capacity, as their imposing King Power Stadium is not the largest footballing castle in this new theatre of war. That distinguished distinction instead belongs to the similarly embattled Wednesday, a club which, much like their LE2 counterparts, demands and needs the unyielding fervour of its local faithful.

​Fortunately, both sleeping giants do boast exceptional fan bases, whose voices shall undoubtedly echo through these grand structures as the long, arduous road to resurgence commences in earnest. With such once-dangerous competition, the path forward remains entirely unwritten.
