Van Nistelrooy's chairman showdown soon & when he may be sacked | OneFootball

Sadly for everybody associated with Leicester City Football Club, the Foxes were relegated on Sunday after a long, arduous and atrocious Premier League season. Some of LCFC's so-called star players were unquestionably poor for the majority of the campaign. A few team starters don't have any business in the English top flight for a start. Meanwhile the backup brigade and squad depth were seriously lacking. But the unsatisfactory roster is not the only significant problem on Filbert Way - far from it.

Installing the wrong manager is never going to get you anywhere. The fans, observers and pundits who raised eyebrows aloft when Ruud van Nistelrooy was appointed City boss have been vindicated beyond belief. Those of us who believed they saw something special in a former winner were drastically mistaken. As others have said, the King Power outfit didn't require somebody used to winning: we needed a battler.

Who knows, maybe Sean Dyche would've done the job! Steve Cooper was certainly preferable in afterthought with 20/20 vision. Although this debate and discussion is now resigned to the history books. From what I hear and have read, it may not be long until the Dutchman is also predictably relieved of duty. But when is RvN's crucial meeting with Foxes chairman Aiyawatt 'Khun Top' Srivaddhanaprabha? And what is the probable outcome of the upcoming showdown?

Ruud van Nistelrooy's rendezvous with Leicester City chairman impending with the former Manchester United man staring at oblivion

Van Nistelrooy has twice subtly complained to media that he is awaiting showdown talks with Srivaddhanaprabha. Well it appears that the meeting will happen this week:

The LCFC board is supposedly undecided on RvN. I imagine that claim is wide of the mark. We will plausibly see a new head coach in the dugout by July, ready for 2025/26.
