If Leicester City fans were granted a few wishes, the wishlist would probably look a bit like this: Jon Rudkin sacked; new rich, honest ownership; promotion; and Jamie Vardy to come back to King Power Stadium. First of all, the chief football officer has been generally despised since he held the role of director of football, and many argue he should have been dismissed long ago given the depth of the club’s current plight.
There are no 'get out of jail free cards' in football, even for those who were in post during the most miraculous of title triumphs, whatever mitigating circumstances some may cite. For all the immense good the Srivaddhanaprabha family have done across Leicestershire over the years, Aiyawatt has ultimately proven incapable of steering the club steadily forward in his tenure as chairman.
If fresh leadership and proper control is to take root at the club, Leicester supporters obviously desire wealthy, generous and ambitious owners who understand exactly what this football club means to its community. Escaping League One at the very first time of asking would appease the Blue Army somewhat, after what feels like an eternity of stagnation, disappointment and a punishing points deduction last term.
What's next for Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy
Lastly, and by far the least likely to transpire, the place simply does not feel the same under King Power stewardship without the main man, Vardy, involved or leading the line. Unfortunately, the illustrious striker has now confirmed definitively that he will not return to compete for the Foxes, stating plainly 'that chapter is over' when quizzed on the subject.
As a matter of fact, "Vards" has also ruled out a sentimental comeback at Sheffield Wednesday, where he spent time as a young player taking his first tentative steps in the professional game. The 39-year-old clarified on his own 'Jamie Vardy's Having a Party' podcast that he will not be an Owl next season either, despite Wednesday owner David Storch whipping their fanbase into unnecessary waves of anticipation over the prospect.

It is understood Sevilla is the club Vardy has his eye on, and that ambition is the core reason he will not consider League One, or even Championship football, at this stage of his career. The legendary centre forward retains an unshakeable belief that he can still compete and achieve at the very top level, and intends to finish his playing days there.
La Liga clearly provides the desired platform. Meanwhile, the East Midlanders require a striker - and fast!
