Two famous and notable ex-Premier League bosses apparently want the Leicester City manager job. That's if current Foxes head coach Steve Cooper is eventually sacked from his role, as so many pundits, experts and fans expect at some point this season. Although, Cooper isn't doing too badly at present, but LCFC results and performances could always be better of course.

Nevertheless, the Welshman's standing as gaffer was under threat from day one, if reporting has been accurate. So, is the ex-Nottingham Forest chief in trouble at King Power Stadium? And who exactly are this pair of well-known, potential new City leaders? And do we believe either man is suitable for the constant challenge in the east Midlands?

And, in addition to talking management, we speak about one other recent Leicester incident. Why did a Fox show anger at a teammate in the slightly worrying display against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday? And was the outburst of emotion justifiable and even necessary from the experienced midfielder?

Harry Winks shows passion vs Manchester United

After the United clash, one typically reliable LCFC-specific journalist wrote that the City defence was actually better in that game. I'm not sure that view is valid, especially as the Foxes conceded three goals versus the Red Devils.

And it's not all harmonious in the Foxes camp at the moment either. For example, when Abdul Fatawu wasted the opportunity to counter attack, Winks showed visible frustration with the winger. The former Tottenham Hotspur man slammed his fist into the ground consequent to the poor decision.

I'd say that Winks was right to be annoyed; Fatawu is a talent but has a way to go with respect to maturity. Yet the midfielder probably shouldn't do what he did publicly. I emphasise and have been in a similar situation when playing amateur football. But the mature move is to take the Ghanaian aside post-match or at training for discourse.

A couple of familiar managers desire Leicester City position

City supposedly courted and chased Graham Potter over the course of the summer. However, the Ex-Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion boss declined the opportunity. Now he's back reportedly wishing to help the Foxes.

Added to that possibility, should Cooper be let go at some stage, is a separate apparent option for the Filbert Way outfit. David Moyes, who previously managed Everton and had a high profile spell at Man United, is another who's meant to be interested:
