One or two senior players, and potentially some youngsters, will leave; fresh contracts will be rejected or not offered to arguably deserving athletes.

"Thomas did feature in 17 Championship matches for Leicester City last season. However, albeit having played very limited minutes, he was unable to make a telling impact in his cameo appearances. "The72
While the loss of emerging talent is never easy for the faithful to digest, it is an inevitable consequence of the current restructuring on Filbert Way. Whether these departures ultimately pave the way for a more sustainable future remains the pivotal question for the season ahead.
