This is usual, isnt it ?

This is no new situation to Leicester fans who has been around for a while and knows the history of the club. The last time Leicester was relegated after the 1994/95 season 17 players left the club in just 10 months, including Mark Draper and Julian Joachim (pic). They were Leicester's biggest assets back then. When Leicester was relegated after the great Bloomfield era back in the 70's the whole squad of stars was gone just two years after Bloomfield was sacked. Why he was sacked is the biggest mystery ever to take place in Leicester. Frank McLintock came in with his ideas and just a month or two after Frank Worthington was shown the door at Filbert Street. Then when the disasterous 77/78 season was over, McLintock got sacked and Jock Wallace came in. six or seven months after the relegation, almost everyone of the Bloomfield boys were sold or contracts had been cancelled. Sammels, Woollett, Jayes, Yates, Earle, Blockley, Alderson all left the club in the summer, Sims, Kember, Weller, Whitworth left during the season and Kelly and Rofe who was part of the team that got promoted and won the 2nd division championship in 79/80 left before the new campaign at highest level started the season after. Players like Gary Lineker, Ian Wilson, Tommy Williams, John O'Neill, Larry May, Kevin MacDonald and Andy Peake got the chance. They didn't cost a penny and yet they became the back bound of the team. When Leicester was too small for them they moved elsewere and Leicester cashed in. They have a culture of that and this was probably why they lost Martin O'Neill. I doubt that the men in charge would let £ 11 Heskey millions just fly out the window, and take the chance on a team that we saw against Sunderland would fly all the way into the Champions League and really fight for domestic trophees which had been won on two occations under O'Neill. If Heskey had been hold back one more season and the board had taken a chance on those £ 11 millions and hoped that Heskey had helped Leicester to the top together with Martin O'Neill the world would have been another today. O'Neill wouldn't have left the club if they had kept Heskey and showed him that he could take Leicester even further. But now all the money is spent, the club is in deep financial trouble, and they have a stadium that will be filled with teams from the backyard of English football. Who is in charge, yes the same men who has been there forever, making the managers skapegoats in a big run of changes. This is a culture of the club, and not something that just happened after the relegation in 2001/2002.
