'An incredible man, but that doesn't make you a great manager'

Former Leicester goalkeeping coach Mike Stowell believes the club's players need a different style of management to what Ruud van Nistelrooy offers. Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester's 'When You're Smiling' podcast, Stowell said he believes the Dutch boss was more of a friend than a coach to players. He said: "It feels different this season. It was almost doomed to fail early on, and just the manner in which they've gone down is disappointing. "Two years ago under Brendan Rodgers, that was a shock to end up going down. I wouldn't say there was inevitability about this team going down though. "Who knows what would have happened if we didn't sack Steve Cooper. For me, he came with baggage but that shouldn't be the case. "There was no reason for me to think Leicester were going down and they had to sack Cooper. "I've met Ruud van Nistelrooy and he's a lovely bloke. But I get the feeling he was the players' friend rather than the players' coach. "I feel they needed someone in there that would drive them rather than befriend them. "He is an incredible man, but that doesn't make you a great manager." Listen to the full podcast here

Foxes are 'prime target' for punishment

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has estimated that Leicester City could be inline for a "seven-point deduction" for their latest breach of the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). Speaking to BBC Sport's Charlie Slater about the situation, Maguire said: "If we use the Everton and Nottingham Forest cases as a starting point, they were given a set penalty plus an additional penalty, in terms of points, for the severity of the offence over the allowable limit. "On the basis of that, we are probably looking at something like a seven-point deduction which if applied this season - and there's a case for saying it is too late - would result in Leicester City probably dropping from 18th to 19th position in the Premier League. "The reason why it might have to be applied to this season is because you get around about £3.5m per place in the Premier League. Therefore, from the perspective of Ipswich Town, they would say they are entitled to an extra £3.5m and they would want this particular issue to be pursued." Former Leicester City striker Matty Fryatt said the situation "doesn't look healthy" on the When You're Smiling podcast: "It certainly doesn't sound good initially. "The club are the prime target number one because they used that loophole before to get out of the previous charge. "The Premier League obviously deem it a breach of their rules so they are already after them. Then subsequently, because of relegation, the EFL will want a nibble as well because the club had previously breached their rules but went back up to the Premier League again. "So, all in all, it is a mess. I do think both the Premier League and the EFL will be after Leicester City, especially after they were clever in getting out of the situation last time. "It doesn't look healthy. I don't know whether the points deduction will be enforced for this season, which would probably play into Ipswich's favour for a bit of money, or if the EFL will go after Leicester City next season. "I wonder if the EFL could even save the points deduction and use it the following season, if Leicester City get promoted next season? It is very messy and the club is prime target number one unfortunately." Listen to the full podcast on BBC Sounds

Vardy exit 'the end of a chapter for Leicester'

Former Leicester City defender Michael Morrison says Jamie Vardy's departure will mark "the end of a chapter" at the club but believes the record-breaking striker will leave behind a "massive legacy" at King Power Stadium. Since signing for the club in May 2012, Vardy has won a Premier League title, the FA Cup, the Community Shield and two promotions from the Championship. Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast, Morrison said: "I was looking at how many games he has played and it is just incredible. I can't think of anybody that has played that many games for one club in the last 10 years. "Then it is amazing to back it up with how many goals he has scored, the accolades he has received and the record-breaking runs he has gone on. "It is the end of a chapter for Leicester City as a football club. He's also the last remaining player that was involved in the team that won the Premier League, so that is another closing door. "I think his legacy is massive - and as a player you can only be proud of that. "When he looks back at his Leicester City career, I think he will be amazed at what he has achieved. He wouldn't have thought he would have had this much success in his wildest dreams. "I'm sure this isn't how Jamie Vardy saw his Leicester City career finishing. It is a really difficult moment to be celebrating such a legend because it's off the back of a really disappointing season. "I do think it will be a bit of a strange atmosphere for some but the club is strong enough and it has bounced back plenty of times, so I definitely think Sunday should be used as a celebration for what Jamie Vardy has done over the last 13 years."
