'It doesn't feel like there is a clear strategy' - why fans are frustrated
BBC Radio Leicester's Owynn Palmer-Atkin says a lot of what has been happening at King Power Stadium "hasn't really made sense".Explaining why it has been a disappointing and "frustrating" season for Foxes fans, Palmer-Atkin told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club: "It is from top to bottom, and it is all around strategy and their alignment now compared with what they have had before."The recruitment is patchy and hasn't really made sense, and the managerial appointments don't really add up either. Alongside all of that, there is quite a deafening silence from the board, who haven't spoken for a great deal of time."If you add all of those things together with the performances this season and relegation, it makes for a frustrated fanbase."They are also escaping Profit and Sustainability Rules by the skin of their teeth, so it is not good. It doesn't look like they have a plan."I saw the logic of hiring Enzo Maresca. They understood the way he wanted to play and they backed him. It was a risk that paid off. But when he left they brought in Steve Cooper, who is not really the same sort of manager."Maresca to Cooper to Ruud van Nistlerooy doesn't feel very joined up."Paired with poor recruitment, it doesn't feel like there is a clear strategy that links all of the club together."Watch Monday Night Club on BBC iPlayer or listen on BBC Sounds
