adminFor many football fans, the downfall of Leicester City still feels impossible to believe. Just ten years ago, the Foxes completed one of the greatest miracles football has ever seen by winning the Premier League under Claudio Ranieri.
They later lifted the FA Cup in 2021 and regularly competed with England’s top clubs, even reaching the Champions League.
Leicester are now preparing for life in League One after suffering back-to-back relegations in one of the most dramatic collapses English football has witnessed in recent years.
The situation at the club has continued to worsen both on and off the pitch. After dropping out of the Premier League in 2025, many expected Leicester to bounce straight back because of the quality within the squad and the experience at the club. Instead, the season turned into a complete nightmare.
Poor performances, inconsistent form, dressing-room tension, financial concerns and a damaging six-point deduction all played a huge role in dragging the club deeper into crisis.
Leicester looked like a broken side for most of the campaign. Confidence disappeared quickly whenever results went against them, while several experienced players failed to step up during crucial moments of the season.
Their poor form during the final months ultimately proved costly, with the 2-2 draw against Hull City officially confirming relegation to League One and leaving fans devastated.
Supporters have also become increasingly frustrated with the club’s leadership and recruitment strategy over the last few years.
Leicester were once admired for discovering stars such as N’Golo Kanté, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, but recent transfer decisions have been heavily criticised by fans after several expensive signings failed to make the expected impact.
Now, fresh comments from defender Conor Coady have sparked major reactions among Leicester supporters online.
Speaking about his difficult spell at the club, the former Wolves captain admitted that he “hated every minute of it” and claimed the club lacked identity throughout the season.
Conor Coady on his final season at Leicester City:
“I hated every minute of it. I know the frustrations. I got a lot of the frustrations. They gave me a lot of frustrations when I played for them. The club didn’t have a clear identity and their style of play constantly changed, with several manager changes in a short period of time.”
The statement has reportedly shocked many around the club, especially considering Leicester are now facing a huge rebuild ahead of next season.
With uncertainty surrounding the future of several senior players and major financial restructuring expected, the Foxes are entering one of the most important periods in their modern history.
Despite the chaos, Leicester still remain a massive club at League One level because of their fanbase, facilities and recent history.
However, the pressure is now on the club’s hierarchy to make the right decisions quickly, otherwise the risk of an even deeper decline could become very real.
