Why Leicester may struggle to retain most gifted stars

Leicester City have multiple worries at present. In fact, problems are worryingly mounting on Filbert Way right now! In all honesty as a Fox myself, I hate bringing our readership negative news. Analysing it on an almost every day basis is also unappetising to be frank. While it's a difficult job - someone's got to do it. Because the club is, and has been, run in an unsatisfactory manner for a few years now. And it's showing!
First of all, the east Midlands team got their Profit and Sustainability parameters all wrong. Alternatively, the LCFC hierarchy knew they were breaking rules and pushing boundaries. Either they didn't care or were simply negligent. And not just in this case.
I believe the Foxes ownership weren't too fussed about making signings in general. By stating this, I'm suggesting that saving tens of millions and leaving a stale and stumbling side was preferable to King Power. Yeah, I know right. It's just my own notion, but you never know!
Further matters in the east Midlands are making it harder to retain the most adept players if they are ultimately relegated. Signing the best athletes, considering budget restraints, will prove awkward too. You may have presumed a man with Ruud van Nistelrooy's reputation would attract gifted footballers. He's had a hand in developing some eminent talent as well.
Well, let's say City do have a hypothetical transfer fund, van Nistelrooy will therefore want to spend. But he's inexperienced and has a struggling team. Would superior stars wish to join a sinking ship, or one that's barely stable?! After the chairman supposedly lied to the boss about money, the situation seems more unstable.
Maybe the ex-Manchester United man's main problem shall be trying to convince Leicester's star players to stay over the summer. Van Nistelrooy requires a realistic plan and proposal to do so. Interestingly, we are not just discussing standout senior players here. No. Prospects such as Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans will be targeted by bigger organisations after their respective rises.
