Leicester City fans are far from happy currently with how things are going at the club this summer.

The Foxes appear to have finally found a replacement for their vacant managerial role in the shape of Marti Cifuentes.

Leicester City had been linked with a number of different managers for the role, with the most recent being Gary O’Neil, while Chris Wilder and Danny Rohl had also been suggested to be the successors to Ruud van Nistelrooy.

While the managerial situation is now looking to have been solved, fans are still not pleased about being relegated from the Premier League twice in the previous three seasons or that their side wore training gear for their opening game in preseason.

Fans are letting their dissatisfaction about the running of the club be known publicly now.

Leicester City fans lack trust in those running the club.

The Foxes will once again compete in the Championship following their relegation last year, while there remains uncertainty about whether there will be a potential points deduction for an alleged breach of the EFL’s financial rules.

The results of a wide-ranging survey undertaken by the Foxes Trust were reported by Talk Sport, showing that just nine percent of fans believe the owners—led by chairman ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha—are currently successful in their role.

In a more concerning stat, just four percent have confidence in their day-to-day running of the club, while 93 percent of fans wish to see a change of those in the boardroom.

There are also only two percent of fans from the survey who believe the club’s player and manager recruitment were operating well, with this perhaps being explained partly by the drawn-out departure of Van Nistelrooy.

A need for change in the boardroom

While it had previously been reported that there was an impending reshuffle in the boardroom at Leicester City, this process needs to be sped up.

Things at the 2016 Premier League winning club are not rosy, as seen by the fan reaction to the current ownership.

With the increasing fan protests about those running the club, with the blame being laid predominantly at the feet of Jon Rudkin, there appears to be a desperate need for change.

The success experienced by the club under Claudio Ranieri and Brendan Rodgers is what fans dream of returning to; however, with the current state of the club, this kind of glory seems impossible any time soon.
