Sources have dismissed the prospect of ex-Everton and Burnley manager Sean Dyche taking charge at Leicester City, according to The Telegraph writer John Percy.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was relieved of duty at Leicester City Football Club on Friday morning. It was a move we all expected from the Foxes ownership and board. The Dutchman was, as Leicester Mercury's Jordan Blackwell wisely stated, 'a dead man walking' on Filbert Way.
The only surprise given by the LCFC powers-that-be was that the former Manchester United centre forward wasn't sacked earlier than eventually transpired. The East Midlands outfit were relegated, of course, and van Nistelrooy only oversaw victory from a handful of Leicester matches.
However, the 48-year-old likely remained in position at King Power Stadium due to The King Power International Group's (Leicester's controlling owners) money problems. In fact, it is now very widely claimed the organisation that controls the club may end up facing bankruptcy.
Will chairman Aiyawatt 'Khun Top' Srivaddhanaprabha be forced to sell up at some stage? I'm not sure at present; there is no concrete suggestion of that in the news at the moment. Though that is generally part of the worst case scenario for his company, of course. Whether Leicester would be better taken in a different direction is up for debate right now.

Differing levels of tabloid and broadsheet newspapers (obviously including their online accounts and websites) have covered the latest bombshell updates from the King Power this week. Which head coach will be installed for preseason fixtures, which begin on July 5, is the current concern.
Bookmakers claimed Danny Rohl, the Sheffield Wednesday boss, was in pole position to be named City's new top man. Although Rohl was recently replaced by former Everton gaffer Sean Dyche as the apparent No.1 contender. However, The Telegraph's John Percy has disparaged that rumour:
