Since that astonishing season of 2015-2016, Leicester have been obliged to play a difficult game of sale and renewal. He left behind him firm foundations - and a plan of sorts, but it is hard to replicate the man himself.

There is no starker example of the razor’s edge many Premier League clubs outside the elite walk than Leicester City: once the League's most improbable champions, two fifth-place finishes – one as recently as 2021 and FA Cup winners the same year – and now fighting for their lives against relegation.Ī very private club, previously run by a patriarch who made all the big decisions with the kind of instinct and ruthlessness with which he had built his business empire in Thailand.
