Leicester City slumped to a new low on Thursday night. Losing to West Ham United is never embarrassing in itself. But, as always, the way a team handles defeat does reflect on its character. Yet Leicester showed minimal passion in their submissive and lazy display at London Stadium.
Evidently, results and performances have dipped to such unpleasant standards that LCFC supporters are demanding change at the club. A few Foxes fans now want chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha to sell up and move on. I never thought I'd see the day when the Srivaddhanaprabha family left the organisation. To be fair, I've never particularly considered that eventuality.
In fact, there are those in the Blue Army fan base who went even further than to ask for the owner to leave. Shockingly, the most iconic Fox in LCFC history has even been criticised. Are spectators justified in turning on illustrious servant of the club, Jamie Vardy? Should Top sell LCFC only for another unknown capacity to come in? And is that scenario at all likely?
Leicester City fans want chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha to go and did the unthinkable by questioning Jamie Vardy's passion
The Hammers were probably the most comfortable 2-0 winners in history as they played City midweek. Certain Leicester players were accused of lacking commitment by expert pundits and writers such as myself. But some observers of the LCFC persuasion have gone further.
That was awful, players just strolling about and @vardy7 as Captian just accepting it. Where’s the fire???

Following the disappointing outcome and display, one fan asserted this about the King Power outfit: "Top needs to sell up". He also suggests that the board be sacked. He wants a new head of recruitment as well. Though I can't see Top selling immediately.
Oh, and by the way, the TAIE account believes RvN should be sacked too. And this is not the only supporter asking for radical and wholesale change on Filbert Way as you can see below:
Match report - all the players have given up and has no desire, they are all weak kids. Harry winks proved it on his 90k a week wage when players ran past him when he was tracking back he was too busy strolling back sums it all up at the club. Top needs to sell and fuck off now

However, I still witnessed desire from Vardy. Even in the absence of any decent supply, he harries and chases pretty much anything while at quite an age for an elite footballer. Irrespective of hero status, Vardy is indeed doubted by a minority:
Vardy is past it.
