Leicester City supporters have delivered a scathing assessment of the club's recent decline after King Power were rumoured to be putting the League One side up for sale.

The Foxes Trust has acknowledged the owners' historic contribution while arguing that a change is now needed to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

Foxes Trust criticise Leicester City owners after ‘disastrous' decline

The Foxes Trust says Leicester have “lost their way” despite King Power overseeing some of the most successful years in the club's history.

The supporters' group pointed to the 5,000/1 Premier League title triumph, European football, the FA Cup and the development of the club's training ground as major achievements during the 16-year ownership at the King Power Stadium.

However, it believes the decline since those successes has been impossible to ignore.

The group highlighted that Leicester were an established Premier League club with a strong squad, academy, facilities and reputation just five years ago, but have since suffered a dramatic downturn both on and off the pitch.

The Foxes Trust also referenced a supporter survey in which 75 per cent backed a change in ownership, welcoming King Power's decision to put the club up for sale while stressing that finding the right buyers will be crucial.

It wants prospective new owners to listen more closely to supporters, appoint the right executives and ensure the club does not continue drifting towards another relegation.

FGG says: Leicester fans are right to demand a change

It is perfectly reasonable for Leicester supporters to recognise everything King Power achieved while also believing the club now needs a fresh direction.

The decline from Premier League champions to a club facing serious concerns over its future has been stark.

A sale could provide a much-needed reset, but only if the right owners are found.
