I’ll start by saying i was actually a bit optimistic going in to the season. But oh boy was I wrong. I was not expecting this and it is simply embarassing the way we have played and the way the players have carried themselves. I will be happy to see the back of pretty much all of them. And of course the fault also is with the ownership and the way the club is run. Everyone should hold themselves accountable.

Now for the coping part:

Sadly League One is reality now, but at least there will be fees coming in for Winks(from what i gathered he will not be leaving for free), El Khanouss and something for Faes. And even more than that a lot of underperformers at the end of their contracts will leave so the high wages will be off the wage bill.

Here’s hoping for a fresh start, a rebuild and a new look squad for next season.

This squad alone was capable of finishing in a playoff spot this season, maybe even mid table if you’re being harsh. I genuinely wouldn’t care if we sold every single one of them. They haven’t respected a single one of our managers since Maresca left a couple of years ago.

This is genuinely a breaking point for the club. They need to sell up, change the whole hierarchy, rebuild the whole squad. This isn’t the club I recognise and have grown up supporting for the last 25 years.

Foxes never quit? We’re the epitome of quitters.

Marti also won ten league games before he was sacked. Rowett won only once. What a sharp decline in form. No doubt the points deduction affected the players, though who's to say the managerial change wasn't also a factor? I don't deny that Marti was unpopular among fans, but he wasn't the only problem.

On a positive note, hopefully Top and Rudkin's time at the club are coming to an end. They've scapegoated managers far long enough.

What a way to say absolutely nothing.

American fan here.

How do I watch League One games in the states?

Ps I am miserable right now.

How do you think he’s feeling right now.

I’m a Man United fan, but have always held a fond place for Leicester in my heart.

When you guys steam rolled to the summit of the PL, I was cheering for you. Your win reminded me of wins we had with our class of ‘92. Such hardworking and easily likeable players in Vardy, Drinkwater, Morgan, Schmeichel.

The type of football that was played that season was incredibly exciting- I wish we saw that again instead of this boring tiki taka all the time. Oh how thrilling it was to see those through balls to Vardy who’d rip through defences and finish with such vengeance. Truly, that season- I kind of enjoyed your team so much more than my team. Vardy smashing van Nistelrooy’s goalscoring record against us and I wasn’t even a bit mad because man, was it amazing to watch him. In my Uni, where I was team captain, I actually discussed with our coach to try and replicate that gameplay because I was so mesmerised by it.

And when you guys lifted the trophy, boy did I cheer for you lot. The fans and the city deserved every bit of that win- it was incredibly romantic and poetic. You gave us hope, gave football hope that miracles exist and fairytales are real.

Hold on and stay proud. You are still a club with history and pride. Yes, times are hard and this is rock bottom but you’ll come out of it. Look at Coventry, look at Luton. You’re wonderful people, some of the best football fans in the country. In these difficult moments, you have our solidarity and our respect.

Long live the Foxes 🦊

As surprised as I am to say this but tonight it looked like no other player on the field ran more and gave more than Harry Winks did, I really believe that he wanted to atone or prove himself to the fans this was just appalling from nearly everyone else on the squad. I lost it with Mavididi getting subbed on so late only to spend the entire time walking around and putting in absolutely no effort. It really took relegation for most of the squad to actually start putting in their full efforts. Even then, the worst part is that despite all that effort and running we still only drew with a team that missed the playoffs...

New-Gen fan here. Ive started watching football in 2021 and became a fan in 2022 after looking at this clubs history and the ups and downs we had. Remember: 2022/23 started well enough, it was the last season in the prem before relegation.

I thought that I was gonna support an honest club, a dark horse that could upset the big guns from time to time, as they did 2016 and 2021. Sadly the only thing they upset since then are themselves.

Honestly, I cant see us in the Prem in the near future. Too big are the financial struggles, the poor management and the fact that we need to rebuilt our entire roster. A portion of our squad has prem expirience, and now they fumbled so hard that we are going down to league one.

May we see the Prem again someday, but we arent ready for it even after we get back to back promotions.

I just feel weird, each one of my friends supports a club that is atleast in the highest division of the league system, and im here supporting a 3rd tier side. Not because I have some rare ball knowledge or because its my local club (I live oversees), but just because we have fallen so damn much. All i fucking want is to see this team win again. Ive stopped following the games actively over the last 2 Months just because i couldnt fucking bother looking at the 23rd loss in a row or a fumbled draw against some fucking milk farmers from south england.

Im screaming at myself to keep supporting this club, just because if we ever win again, then it will feel even better.

I wont lose hope, but we are fucked.
