Zack Rodgers might get that job sooner rather than later at Leicester. It looks a mess.
because of the mischief of their own supporters were equal parts amusing and instructive. On the one hand, it was difficult not to smile and the news that people were trying to get requests through for people called ‘Zack Rodgers’ or ‘Brenda Nout’ demonstrated the gallows humour of fans unhappy at the direction their team has taken since the start of this season.
Leicester supporters could be forgiven for believing that the Nottingham Forest game was more than just over two weeks ago. A 4-0 home win in a relegation six-pointer against local rivals felt like the potential turning of a new leaf, but the two games they’ve played since then have resulted in just a single point, just a single goal, and a return to the foot of the Premier League table.
Leicester’s owners have some form for replacing a manager quickly should things start to turn sour. In February they replaced Claudio Ranieri as manager just nine months after he led the club to the Premier League title. At the time, they were a point above the relegation places, with 13 games of the season left to play. This decision was criticised at the time, but the benefit of hindsight has vindicated it.
Part of the issue facing Leicester is that sacking Rodgers would be expensive. It was reported at the start of September that it may cost the club as much as £10m to sack him, a compensation clause when he signed his six-year contract with the club in 2019. Of course, the counter-argument to this is obvious. Leicester probably wouldn’t think twice about paying £10m to bring in a new player, and the cost of relegation from the Premier League would be considerably higher.
