Brendan Rodgers has been quite open about his frustrations with the club. Saying, "I've never been a manager who likes to stand still. I'm no good at just maintaining. I need to be building and creating." Rodgers even went on to say that there are plenty of players at the club that "may have achieved everything they can" at the club. Hearing your coach say that some of the players are out of their depth is not really a great morale boost. Rodgers also voiced how unhappy he is at the club's inability to sign Ademola Lookman, who has now joined Atalanta and is excelling. Losing Wesley Fofana without a quality replacement, allowing club legend Kasper Schmeichel to leave, and now seeing Ricardo Pereira go down with injury for six months. The squad really took a hit this summer.
Kasper Schmeichel was the club's captain and is well known for his leadership abilities. Replacing that will never be easy. The new captain, John Evans, came out himself and said that he thought some new signings would give the club a boost. Wesley Fofana's departure was anything but beautiful that involved sitting out of training and cryptic messages. Youri Tielemans and James Maddison have been linked with moves away for multiple transfer windows and seem to be decreasing in value and morale at the club. Soumare and Soyuncu wanted to leave the club in the summer, and Leicester failed to get that done. The players and managers aren't the only ones frustrated. The fans have shown no hesitation in booing at results following the final whistle.
It wouldn't be a surprise to see Brendan Rodgers get sacked well before the end of the year. Perhaps a new coach can get the best out of what is still a talented group. But for now, Rodgers is still the coach, and getting the best out of a group he has heavily criticized publicly could be very hard. Not to mention that Vardy may no longer be the double-digit scorer that Leicester always banked on him being. I think it is Leicester City's time to go. No matter what happens, the streets will never forget what happened in 2016.
