It was a profound disappointment to peruse Barnsley Chronicle and discover a total lack of sponsorship or even a passing mention of Danny Vs Food, though it is essential to concede that perfection is a rare commodity. Nevertheless, substantial footballing developments have descended upon the Leicester City faithful, and as such, this writer will put aside such grievances to address the pressing matters of the pitch.
Now that Russell Martin is officially installed as City manager, despite prevailing hesitation and lingering reservations held by the Blue Army, the imperative for strategic action at Filbert Way has never been more acute. There remains a surplus of overpaid and underperforming individuals within King Power Stadium's ranks who must be ruthlessly and immediately culled from the squad.
It would be ideal to secure substantial transfer fees for these departures, yet why any rational club consider investing capital in those who demonstrated such blatant disregard for the supporters. Exemplified by the disgraceful conduct of Harry Winks.
Still, the prospect of recuperating reasonable funds for others remains a tangible possibility. Oliver Skipp, alongside Stephy Mavididi and Jannik Vestergaard, represent a trio of examples fitting this slightly disillusioned category.
Inevitably, superior talents shall also depart, most notably Ben Nelson, Abdul Fatawu and Jeremy Monga. This exodus necessitates a massive influx of personnel, whether through permanent acquisitions or temporary arrangements, to bridge the glaring deficiencies of the squad.
Leicester City coaching staff?
Personnel decisions remain uncomfortably tethered to sporting director James McCarron, chief football officer Jon Rudkin, chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and recruitment guru Martyn Glover. That Martin is afforded merely an advisory "input" in this process is a structure that remains utterly baffling to yours truly.

At least the new LCFC boss will retain autonomy over his backroom staff. With the 40-year-old expected to poach key assistants from at least one rival club in West Bromwich Albion:
"Earlier this month, Daily Record claimed that Martin would look to reunite with previous members of his coaching staff at Ibrox with long-time assistant Matt Gill and sports science chief Rhys Owen."LCFC Live
