Listening to Courtney Sweetman-Kirk covering the game for Sky Sports tonight, makes it all very clear. She has a long life at this football club and knows the situation better than most. Former players Wes Morgan, Marc Albrighton, Martin Keown and Lee Hendrie have also spoken out.
Courtney Sweetman-Kirk said in her report that she feared for the future of the football club. Her talk is something to take notice off as she knows a lot.
The problem in itself is not to be in League One, but how to get out of it. Khun Top and his wingman Jon Rudkin looks in no way able to find the formula to bring this football club back to it’s best.
The logistic of players in and out looks totally random and those left at the football club this season has not been given the correct coaching and leadership needed to be able to perform.
Marti Cifuentes was handed the job. He was in heavy waters from start and he never filled the shoes of being the correct appointment at Leicester.
We could go on and on about all the wrong doings, but what worries most is the fact that those new faces in the administration at the club are as silent as everyone is at this football club.

To see Leicester dropping into League One is in itself a major shame. To see people close to the club and with inside knowledge having such worries, makes it even worse.
Gary Rowett looks far from an answer for this manager position going forward. He has not managed to influence much and looks far from what is needed to go forward. The club top hieararchy has seen what you will get when you do the wrong decisions over time. We had a feeling Gary Rowett was some sort of answer. But at this point he should be dismissed and a search for a new manager should be on from today. The wait and stop in decision making we did see in the past, has hurt the football club.
The fact that Gary Rowett left Harry Winks on the bench, but still put him on, was a disaster. This in itself just fueled the anger even more. Rowett should have listened and not given minutes to Winks after what happened after the Pompey game. That type of behaviour was not acceptable. Then to see the player back in playing instead of anyone else, Joe Aribo, for instance.
To see a player being booed, coming on, when you are 2-1 up, tells a story about the atmosphere at the moment. We are a group of supporters that disagree with a lot of these fans, and believe they should not go vocal, but instead stay away. But this mix of problems goes down with everything and when you as a coach or manager can’t see this, you are not equipped to be that man at the club.
Jon Rudkin and Khun Top must speak up, they most communicate with fans and give answers, not stay silent and again when coming out with some sort of statement, do it in a proper way so that we can understand what is going on. Both of them looks to hold on to their positions, and if they continue to do that, this fall will not stop in League One, it could be even worse.
The next chapter for this football club is not yet written, but if it turns out as Courtney Sweetman-Kirk thinks, hope will be that the club will be able to field a football team next season.
