Leicester City Football Club is unequivocally one of the worst run teams in all of England. This writer suspects that indictment includes every school side and amateur Sunday League outfit currently in existence. As a matter of fact, LCFC is surely one of the most pathetic, worst-performing organisations on the planet, regardless of industry or professional standing!
It is entirely evident that chief football officer Jon Rudkin and chairman Aiyawatt "Top" Srivaddhanaprabha have spent four years of unmitigated calamity actively trying to sink the good ship Foxes for some unfathomable reason. They have displayed such grotesque levels of incompetence that Leicester has transformed from a shining example of sporting achievement into a cautionary tale of how to single-handedly dismantle a legacy.
Within this widely chastised and lampooned collective sits a recruitment department that is seemingly equally beyond salvation. Some of the signings City have obtained, coupled with the extortionate wages outlaid, were nothing short of criminal and have pushed the club to the precipice.
Consequently, the East Midlanders' hierarchy must allegedly liquidate assets (potentially not stopping at personnel, with the stadium and training ground even whispered as collateral) to survive their own financial suicide. One element here will justifiably incensed the fan base: hemorrhaging cash through desperate, cheap sales.
WTAF, Leicester City?!
The precedent set by the disrespectful exit of Bilal El Khannouss is a major cause for alarm. The questionable King Power ownership clearly mandated a loss of approximately £3.8 million just to rid themselves of an improving, talented baller who should have been a source of profit.
"City lost exactly £3.8 million in straight cash on Bilal El Khannouss. They paid K.R.C. Genk £21.0m to buy him and recovered £17.2m from VfB Stuttgart via a £2.6m loan fee and a £14.6m permanent transfer fee"FoL calculations via sources
Although, the absolutely terrifying reality is that this pattern of unnecessary, pathetic reductions will surely be replicated when inevitable further valuable sales emerge this very summer. Jeremy Monga and Abdul Fatawu will likely through the exit door for respectively less than their worth.
