Leicester City’s relegation is a calamity but it must engender change and quickLeicester aren’t the first club to go from being champions to getting relegated in just a few years, but the club won’t recover unless they look forward.As the dust settles and a disbelieving fanbase looks back over ten months which turned out more disastrous than most believed was possible, one thing stands out about: there was no one reason why the club ended up in this position.
And then there was Brendan Rodgers. Brought in at a point when the club’s future vistas looked radically different, Rodgers was initially very successful. In 2020 he took the club to fifth. The following year he repeated the trick, this time adding the FA Cup to the club’s 2016 Premier League title win. Even last season, Leicester finished in eighth, just four points shy of a place in the Europa Conference League.
By the last day of the season they were dependant on Everton slipping up to have any chance of survival. But in the end, Everton – just – held their own and even a fairly accomplished performance in a 2-1 win against West Ham United wasn’t enough to keep them up.
