Ten years after a legendary, against-the-odds Premier League triumph, five years since winning the FA Cup, and a single season after dropping out of the top flight, Leicester Citywill be relegated to the third tier of English football, The Guardian reported.
For a club that experienced real tragedy not long ago it would be misguided to indulge in excessive hyperbole, but a second straight relegation is a sporting disaster, certainly one of the most spectacular falls in the recent history of the domestic game.
After their six-point deduction for breaking financial regulations, Leicester fans may wonder what has become of the ongoing case against Manchester City. But they chanted “Sack the board” at the final whistle, and that anger directed at the club’s hierarchy spilled outside the stadium, with a sizeable crowd lingering long after the game and noisily expressing their fury.
