I think delaying any decisions about the future of RVN or other management will have tipped a lot of people who were on the fence into cancelling their subscription. Talking to people that were there on Monday most had renewed but there was almost an entire row of empty seats in front and people leaving after half an hour shaking their heads. I don't suppose the club will release the figures.

I think a number of decent people won't fancy the Leicester job for many reasons whether it be financial or unrealistic expectations. Big name managers from abroad like Ancelotti might sound a little more exciting than some but they won't know just how shambolic the last 9 months has been or be familiar with the players/Championship. Rosenior or Corberan would IMO be good but of course how much more compensation will Leicester be able to afford and would they be interested?

The club is in free fall and the lack of change on and off the pitch is a huge concern considering the performances we have seen. Perhaps someone external needs to look at the structure of the club and give the Chairman independent advice. Leicester don’t want another summer of uncertainty and a shambles of a preseason.

Watching Barnes last night he made a few mistakes but his running and work rate was streets ahead of most of the City players. He deserves the success he is having and the applause from the home fans.

After Daka hit both posts and into the hands of the keeper there was a sort of feeling night that nothing would change. Amazingly Leicester could have scored from the kick off with ironic cheers from the kop that we nearly scored. It could get worse with Liverpool at home next up.

I've always enjoyed watching Newcastle there is usually a bit of banter with the away fans and of course Harvey Barnes may be in their side always interesting to see how ex players react. I've got a few things to do in Leicester today so I'll be there tonight but if it is another game with 8 or 9 defenders essentially no changes and no goals scored I might leave it there for the season. I'll get behind the lads but need to see some effort and ambition. Just looking on the website at tickets there will be a lot of empty seats and totally understand why

It would be nice if we don't set up with 8 defenders and at half time add another. I'm sure Newcastle will win whatever we do but concentrating on being solid/compact has done nothing to stem the tide so agree might as well at least show some ambition

The comments on BBC sport are critical to say the least. However I agree with his comments that Leicester went for damage limitation at half time in Manchester in taking Vardy off and adding a defensive midfielder. It must have been a frustrating watch for those who travelled and have seen City win at the Etihad in the past

It is all about setting the ground rules with players at the onset. This doesn't sound like the time to introduce changes or setting examples surely it can wait until the summer. The club needs to be sending out the best possible squad and it worries me that Winks is not part of that.

Agree asking Winks to stay over for a night doesn't seem excessive. I wonder how he was asked and how much the manager engages with some of the players particularly with the lack of squad rotation

I can’t help thinking that the embarrassment of another potential sacking within such a short period is allowing Ruud more time.If Ipswich and Southampton pick up a few points and Leicester’s run continues it might be sooner.No replacement is going to want to start by adding relegation to their CV.

Tricky one. The club would have to insist on a huge drop in wages and if he stays the usual complacency could set in and no serious attempt made to find a replacement. Daka didn't score many last season and one this term so Leicester are going to need to recruit 2 more strikers at least if he goes. On balance I think Jamie deserves a new opportunity maybe abroad for one more season but I hope he remains linked to the club in the future in some role maybe motivational

Although Winks has had a tough season he does have quality on the ball and agree it is the fee Leicester paid for Skipp that is the biggest issue he is not a bad player. Soumare is too inconsistent and watching the highlights was jogging back for the first goal and not getting the challenges in which has been a problem before. I accept he has had a few decent games earlier in the season. I'd really like a major overhaul in midfield next week as only Bilal seems to be creating anything and that is very limited. Leicester need to look at the whole squad with a view to the Championship and fringe players need a run out. I'm not saying the squad has been good enough all season but it has underperformed due to increasingly negative tactics which have had no impact on goals conceded whilst draining confidence going forward

The decision to take Vardy off at half time for tactical reasons clearly indicated that at 2 0 games are written off. But to be honest the latest changes with 2 strikers giving the impression on paper of a threat with almost zero support won’t work IMO. There is a lack of quality and goals from midfield and I wonder what players like Ricardo, Winks. Mavididi and Facundo have to do to get a starting place when we need to take a few risks to create something

Expected goals 0.02 only 1 attacking midfielder and so little creativity. All too negative. At least Ipswich and Southampton are managing to get on the scoresheet things with Leicester so predictable

So few changes Daka and Soumare have been struggling but seem set in the team. Winks not even on the bench and I think Bilal will find it difficult to provide creativity on his own

There were a lot of empty seats for the United game I’m not sure the official figures of 31773 are accurate. I’ve had enough of fixtures at odd times like Sunday or Monday nights and the emails if you miss the odd game but I’ll try to get to most of them

I can't help thinking that the fact that Southampton and Ipswich are in a similar position has perhaps given the hierarchy some freedom to consider this to be normal as a promoted club. There is nothing to suggest any change is imminent at any level but surely the whole club needs reflect on the season and maybe the ownership need to get some independent advice.

There was almost total silence when the second goal went in and for several minutes afterwards.The anger that we saw has gone it is more resignation than apathy IMO

I don’t think the club did enough homework before appointing either manager and very little direction to new staff was given about the players that were being inherited. Leicester are still experimenting with players recruited in 2021 that Rodgers didn’t particularly rate. On top of that only 1 player recruited last summer/January was starting yesterday. Going to be a huge undertaking for any manager to sort

Having 2 strikers is fine but really not sure where the service is coming from. Still feel that keeping things tight is number one in the managers thoughts

I remember in Jan 2016 watching Leicester beating Spurs last minute at Surfside in Holetown. Robert Huth scored. Not too many City fans in the bar but fantastic start to the holiday.

It is nice to hear that Luke Thomas had a good game and he is an option. However I just don't think playing several full backs rather than pure wingers is going to be any sort of answer when the club is so short of goals. The thinking presumably is that they can give some width and defend as well. But it is all too half hearted Leicester really need to have more than 3 attackers on the pitch.

I think the team selections are always too much of a compromise to achieve very much going forward and we know that Leicester will concede. Just 3 attack minded players virtually no goal threat from midfield when we need 3 points and changes again made very late in the day

Ultimately I don’t think the squad is strong enough and he hasn’t been supported in the market However I found it hard listening to Ruud being critical of players for lack of press and a passive approach when for so many weeks the line up has felt like damage limitation.
