Leicester City Football Club is in an absolute state of flux, as everyone knows. The definition for that situation is roughly 'a continuous, unstable and permanent transformation'.
​As a matter of fact, the entirety of Leicester City's inner workings could be described that way. They were, of course, previously fluctuating in previous eras, as a yo-yo club, if you will.
The only section of the entire organisation that remains unchanged, typically and predictably, is the powers-that-be and their lackey Jon Rudkin (chief football officer).
​Observers in general, as well as the Blue Army, would be totally unsurprised if even the canteen staff were removed and replaced too!
The team management is brand new, as Russell Martin steps in to navigate the side's slip to League One following a disastrous relegation. He has almost completely altered the backroom staff to align with his progressive vision; thankfully, City legend Andy King remains coaching behind-the-scenes.
Will Luke Thomas, Hamza Choudhury or Harry Souttar make the Leicester City cut?
The starting line-up may have as many as eight or nine changes too, as Martin orchestrates an impending fire sale of assets deemed surplus to requirements.
​Hopefully defender Harry Souttar, who did himself no harm whatsoever at the 2026 World Cup, will remain a Fox. The big Aussie supposedly has interest from EFL Championship outfits such as Wrexham and his own former sides Sheffield United and Stoke City.
Souttar would be ideal yet almost out of place in League One, given his stature and international pedigree. According to Leicestershire Live via OneFootball, Luke Thomas should and probably will be kept. This writer is admittedly pretty unconvinced by Thomas, bar a decent cross and occasional tenacity.

Although, to be fair, Leicester have now arrived at Thomas's appropriate level, where consistency may be discovered. Hamza Choudhury represents the bad apples, from what has been witnessed at King Power Stadium over a few years.
The hybrid midfielder/right back's effort, quality and dedication to the craft and collective aims are all highly suspect. Choudhury is best removed from the club altogether to allow a fresh start under new leadership; his admirers supposedly include Birmingham City and the Blades once again, potentially offering an escape route.
"Hamza Choudhury could stay or go at the right price amid Birmingham City interest."
Martin’s task is monumental, and trimming the fat is a necessary evil if the club is to regain any semblance of respectability and financial safety. Ultimately, the summer window will define whether this rebuild gathers momentum or collapses under the weight of past mismanagement.
