Leicester have been in abysmal form this season and sit at the bottom of the Premier League while Brendan Rodgers is coming under immense pressure ahead of ...

However, in his final campaign he could not prevent them from beating the drop as he was sacked prior to their relegation to the Championship. It follows a shocking start to the season that has left them as the only top-division side without a win. He said: "Whatever happens I’ll have a huge amount of respect for them [the owners] because they’ve given me great support. In fact, they only have a point to their name and are now five points adrift in an alarming situation for Rodgers. “I understand the game. And that would likely be someone with Premier League experience, making Dyche a top contender.

Leicester City are pricing up the cost of sacking head coach Brendan Rodgers, with Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche seen as potential replacements, according.

[Sean Dyche](/people/sean-dyche/) is also said to be an option for the league's basement side, with the 51-year-old available for the role now, having been sacked by Burnley in the middle of April. I come in every day and do my work, and we can see the players playing with confidence, but you've got to win games. I understand the frustrations of supporters and I can't hide from that. "It [the international break] has probably come at a good time to reset everything, break the cycle from the summer as well. "I'm not daft, I know football, and the last six games don't make great reading. I felt the team tonight, if you watched them play in the first half, you could see the confidence and creativity.

FEW men in football divide opinion quite like Brendan Rodgers.Some say 'genius', others say 'fraud'. Some say 'lovely bloke', others say ?

IT felt just like old times at Brentford on Sunday — Arsenal top of the league and a bloke called Vieira scoring. And so, of the 21 different pairings of London clubs in the Premier League this season, only seven should actually be labelled real derbies. West Ham are not yet where Leicester are — with a bubble which has comprehensively burst — but they fear the same scenario. The second time, missing out to Chelsea by just a point, having beaten the same team to win the Cup for the first time in their history. Leicester looked nailed on for the top four in 2020 and 2021 yet on both occasions they suffered late collapses to fall narrowly short. [Everton](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196662/everton/) in 2005 — and that was before [Manchester City](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196654/manchester-city/) got rich and there even was a ‘Big Six’. And while they are certainly missing both players, the starting line-ups sent out against Spurs and Brighton — 11 goals conceded in the most recent two games of a six-match losing run — still looked pretty strong. The wider issue is that when a club bashes its head on that glass ceiling for any length of time, without achieving the major breakthrough of Champions League football, everyone starts getting frustrated, bored and restless. With back-to-back fifth-place finishes and an FA Cup triumph in 2021, Rodgers has been the most consistently successful manager of a non-elite club for a generation. And if you’re thinking of sniffing at Leicester’s FA Cup win, consider Rodgers’ team are one of only three non-elite sides to have won the trophy in 27 years. Some say ‘lovely bloke’, others say ‘David Brent merchant’. Because it will say much about the league’s glass ceiling, about the finite nature of realistic ambition, and it will also expose the limitations of English boasts about possessing the most competitive league on Earth.
