Wow and all he did to keep them up last season, wonder if this has got to do with anything about sacking his son :wink:

Just says differences between him and the club owners, probably same situation we found ourselves last season with Pulis and Crystal Palace.

Crazy world of football hey :shock:

I think the majority of Leicester City fans will be happy despite last seasons heroics.

The important objective now will be the appointment of someone more experienced and less antagonistic.

Funny old game, inn'it? Just how secure is any manager? Not always measured exclusively by success (Watford or Brentford), or failure (Hull). Of course when the stakes and finances are even higher, so are the risks of feeling the Board's knife between the shoulder blades! Mind you, NP did seem a tad strange towards the end of the season - stress?!

I suspect they wanted rid during last season, but given the team's position couldn't get who they wanted in so left it alone until the inevitable relegation.

Then much to everyone's surprise the much predicted fall didn't happen.

If a new face appears quickly then I suspect a long term plan has been on the go.

I was only saying in jest maybe it had something to do with his son, but seems this is what swayed the owners.
