Supporters of Leicester City Football Club will be over the moon once again soon. That's because they have another gift on the way via their historically generous ownership. Blue Army members in attendance are entitled to one free beer each prior to the crucial Wolverhampton Wanderers match up on Sunday. Clearly the King Power chiefs wish to get the faithful involved for the important fixture and in good singing voice!
Meanwhile a currently popular pundit (with some teams and players) has been talking about the east Midlands outfit once more. You see, Chris Sutton has Leicester living in his head rent free. And we don't wipe our feet or taken our shoes off upon entry. In all seriousness, I have no idea why the former Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea and Celtic centre forward dislikes City so much. Unless it was because he thought LCFC poached his beloved Brendan Rodgers a few years ago!?
Anyway, I digress. On this occasion Khun Top Srivaddhanaprabha and his director of football Jon Rudkin were in the firing like. I must be honest here too, Srivaddhanaprabha and Rudkin have made some errors in recent years. The latter's immunity is obviously concerning for the LCFC fan base too. But why did Sutton slam the Foxes ownership and hierarchy at large? And was the Englishman right in what he said?
Included in Sutton's scathing assessment of Leicester bosses was a statement suggesting City are: "making things up as they go". In some respects I agree with Sutton, difficult as that is to admit.
The 51-year-old specifically pointed to the appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy as Foxes manager. Sutton believes the installation of the ex-Manchester United player is "interesting".
The one-time Rovers goalscorer notes that van Nistelrooy was reportedly not in the running to become LCFC boss in the summer. And the retired professional considers the Dutchman somewhat inexperienced.
