Leicester City news: Foxes Trust on failing to learn from previous mistakes

Leicester failed to learn their lessons from relegation two years ago, according to the Foxes Trust.

The club were relegated from the Premier League on Sunday after the 1-0 defeat by Liverpool left them 18 points adrift of safety with five games left.

They have made an immediate return to the Championship having lost 16 of their past 18 games and scoring just six times since 8 December.

Leicester were relegated in 2023, just two years after winning the FA Cup and seven years following their Premier League title triumph.

“We were obviously resigned to it.” said Foxes Trust co-chair Lynn Wyeth. “For some time, I don’t think anybody was under any illusion that the Great Escape had been on.

“People are angrier this time because it doesn’t feel like we’ve learned from our mistakes from last time. I think it’s the over-arching feeling of the club not being managed very well at the moment.

“It’s not just about ‘well, we weren’t good enough’. The three teams that went up weren’t good enough. We knew it was going to be a hard season but it was how we came down. It was the capitulation on the pitch. It was the lack of fight and then it’s what a lot of fans see as mismanagement in so many areas of the club.

“Not just about really duff signings in the summer and letting contracts run out, it’s some of the other stuff off the pitch, the fans feeling disconnected from the club,

“Years and years of loyalty don’t seem to matter anymore. It doesn’t feel like a family club. It’s that Premier League corporate stuff coming in that disconnects you. All of it happening at once has just created a miserable season.”
