Susan Whelan: Chief Executive To Depart LCFC
 

Leicester City Football Club announces that Susan Whelan has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer after 15 years of dedicated service.

 

Susan joined the Club’s Board of Directors following King Power’s acquisition in 2010 and was appointed Chief Executive a year later. Over the course of her tenure, she played a key role in supporting the Club’s operations and long-term vision, contributing to some of the most memorable moments in Leicester City’s history. In that period, the Club rose from the EFL Championship to become Premier League champions in 2016 and FA Cup and Community Shield winners in 2021. The Club also secured its three highest Premier League finishes, resulting in three European campaigns that included a run to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2017 and the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League in 2022. 

 

Her leadership also supported the Club’s commercial growth and infrastructure development, including the delivery of the Club’s state-of-the-art training ground in Seagrave, the master planning of the King Power Stadium expansion project, and the integration of LCFC Women into the Club’s core operations. She contributed to shaping the Club’s long-term strategy for the women’s game across Leicestershire.

 

Susan also helped strengthen Leicester City’s role in the community. As a trustee of both the Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation and Leicester City in the Community, she supported initiatives that improved lives across the region through sport, education, and social inclusion.

 

Leicester City Football Club expresses its sincere gratitude to Susan for her leadership, professionalism, and unwavering commitment over the past 15 years.

 

In the interim, Leicester City Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha will assume the role of acting Chief Executive Officer, ensuring continuity in leadership.

 

Senior representatives from the Club will meet with its Fan Advisory Board, which includes representation from the Foxes Trust, in due course to ensure continuity in our commitments to fan engagement.

[jonny_wright]

3 years too late, but it’s a start 

[Libertine]

Wow! Good.

[BeaumontFox]

Came here straight away before even reading. It’s a start, but why can’t it be f**king Rudkin.

o dear 🙁

KP happy clappers will be a sympathiser for what she's overseen in our catastrophic demise just because she was lucky enough to have great people under her for a while when we had our success.

 

Anyone with any morals and self respect would have walked years ago. Cya

 

By the way I wouldn't be jumping for joy yet. Timing of this suggests to me she knows something big is coming up.

1 down, 2 to go.

[Libertine]

Step forward CEO Rudders.

[Pliskin]

One down two to go. 

[VLC86]

Such a contradiction here. Leadership and Top do not belong in the same sentence.

[Haywood_6]

You watch top promote Rudkin to CEO now

Some good news on here for once.

[CL Fox]

Not sure this is the celebration some will think it is. Has been sidelined for years and just makes Rudkin more powerful.

[CosbehFox]

The boardroom battle has been won. 

 

Conclusions will be hasty but personally reckon this is going to be a very big problem for us.

Wrong way round in who should’ve left first really

All this means is more power for Rudkin and the Nepo baby by the way.
