Nobody’s steering the ship but Leicester City fans already knew this
The 22/23 relegation season saw heavy use of the phrase ‘sleepwalking towards relegation’ or those at the top and on the pitch being ‘asleep at the wheel’.
This year there's nobody at the wheel, awake or otherwise. The damning Telegraph article this weekend highlighted even more cracks and chaos. And yet, Leicester fans aren't surprised.
A King's Homecoming: Hiring a club legend is a step in the right direction
Leicester City fans got their earliest (only?) LCFC Christmas present of 2024 on December 5th when legend Andy King posted a photograph of himself in a Foxes training kit, footballs at his feet, signalling his homecoming. And boy, does it feel about time.
Fixing the Foxes: Improving the relationship between Leicester City and its supporters
Posing the biggest of big questions to our writers this international break, we asked what needs fixing and how to do it. First up, an off-pitch focus on why and how to improve and repair the fan relationships with the club.

It’s that time again: Time to enter the Patson paradox
The last time we focused on Patson Daka it was because of a pivotal miss in a huge game. It didn’t go on to cost us, but he continues to divide fans. Now he’s back from injury and with Leicester’s striker situation, are we re-entering the Patson paradox?

Alves in limbo and Fatawu benched: When will the next generation get their chance?
The headlines and the dissection would have been a lot different this international break had Leicester not beaten Bournemouth. But one fact has lingered and keeps bothering me. I sense I’m not alone either. Our 288-game streak with at least one Academy product in the matchday squad finally ended against Bournemouth.

Fan unrest and questionable decisions: Where does Cooper go from here?
No wins in the league and following two very poor performances, fans are asking questions and some want Steve Cooper out. The bookies have him favourite to be sacked and the pressure is mounting, fairly or not. Cooper is saying all the right things but where do we go from here?

Passion and honesty: Why Steve Cooper puts me in mind of a former Foxes manager
Excitement for the season ahead is hard to come by with the unknowns and we’re still seven weeks out from the kick-off. If we’re looking for things to be optimistic about, Steve Cooper is putting me in mind of a beloved former manager.

Assessing the 2024/25 Fixtures: Wild Predictions, Contemplations and Boxing Day nightmares
Were you eagerly awaiting the Premier League fixture release, ready to plan some away days or look at when we’ll meet our raft of ex-players, and manager, or does it highlight how much work there’s left to do? Either way, we’re running through which months look like especially long ones and throwing out some wild predictions.

Searching for the next Cambiasso or Albrighton: Free transfers Leicester could consider
Back in 2014, Leicester City were preparing for life back in the Premier League. Free transfers underpinned that summer transfer window and ten years on, we may expect the same. What’s the free transfer market like and who could the Foxes move for?

Pandora’s box of finances and contract upheaval: How desirable is this Leicester squad?
Last summer, we ranked the squad through Enzo Maresca’s eyes, but how does the current squad, amidst other factors, look to prospective managerial targets and what will the eventual successful think?

Wilfred Ndidi: King of interceptions, recoveries and a few cracking goals along the way
While we await the fate of our manager, there’s still the open question of the players who were out of contract. We’ve written about a few of them already, but it only feels right to heap some praise onto Wilfred Ndidi too.

On the future of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: Head versus heart
We’re entering the period of transfer rumour madness and Leicester City should be busy, whether it’s renewing contracts, selling players or bringing new faces in. The rumours around Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall started back in January and aren’t likely to quiet down anytime soon. Should we look to sell or is keeping him a no-brainer? It's a head versus heart debate

They don’t make footballers like this anymore: Thank you, Marc Albrighton
This weekend is going to be a party, a tribute and possibly a goodbye to a number of familiar faces. After ten years, it might be time to say goodbye to Marc Albrighton, a Leicester legend. This is an ode to the man from Tamworth.

Inflatables, flares and throwback chants: Preston was an away end for the ages
The promotion party steamrolled into Preston in style. With a 5,000 strong away end and the scenes of celebrations at the end, this isn’t one we’ll be forgetting anytime soon. This is a postcard from the away end.

Foxes reignite the feel good factor
With 34% possession, we probably didn’t achieve the 5-0 win in a way Maresca would love, but you could tell from the reaction of the players and fans alike, what this means and how much we all loved it. Dare I say it, this is the most excited I’ve felt in a long time?

Ten moments from the Leicester City timeline that should have been a warning
Much like sliding doors, small moments and decisions change everything. With the £90 losses looming, it got me thinking about ten moments across the LCFC timeline that led us here.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: All eyes on you, maestro
All eyes on us, Leicester City. And not necessarily for the right reasons. After the international break, we’ve got 9 games to control our own destiny on the pitch. We need everybody firing on all cylinders, nobody more than Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Leicester City are battling for promotion - so shouldn’t I be more excited?
There’s never a dull season as a Leicester City fan. Some would argue we’re owed a quiet year where nothing happens on or off the pitch. That won’t be 2023/24. Where our on-field exploits should be keeping us all busy, other worries are creeping in again.

This Leicester City team needs leaders - it’s time to turn to Conor Coady
Whether it's a temporary blip or not, there are things that need some attention in this Leicester City side.

Leicester City’s healthy full-back problem; who should start opposite Ricardo?
Remember the days where Leicester City barely had one fit fullback in the squad? Thankfully Enzo Maresca has quite the opposite problem, more good fullbacks than available spots in the team. Is there a way to house all three within the same side? We managed it for a period against Stoke.
