Where did it go wrong? - Lineker on Leicester relegation | BBC Sport - Спорт
Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. As Gary said, they won the PL, FA Cup, Community Shield and played Champions League football. For a team that’s not the usual cream of the crop to have accomplished those feats, that’s one heck of an achievement.
Leicester achived more in 10 years than most premier league teams do in 100 years. You have to respect that.
@@ryank3747 The 15/16 leicester team was a team of brothers. People like to call it luck, but it wasn't. That was a masterclass of teamwork.
They will come back next year!!!
@@naar7192not without investment they won’t
😂
Shearer- "They got off to a good start"...They Won 0 Drew 1 Lost 6 of their first 7 games
Think he was being sarcastic! not 100% sure but I think he was, because like you said the start was shocking lol.
Maybe he meant today?
@@MultiLoskadoubt it, these pundits don’t have a clue what’s gone on in a season, they muddle up previous seasons when making points, it’s like they don’t do any research and proof check what comes out their mouth
@@Youafool500 Yeah, so many pundits are absolutely stealing a living. I remember Shearer once laughing on air about how little he knew about one of the teams playing in the World Cup...even though that was his only job!
Yes like WTF... they had almost literally the worst start possible
As a Swansea fan we still love our 8 year Premier League stay and a League Cup. Can't imagine winning the League, an FA Cup and playing in the Champions League in a similar time frame. Absolute mad lads
The fact people say stuff like this but take the piss out of man united is hilarious, hypocrites when it suits you
@@Johndoe-gf7eu Cos united are a massive club that should be competing for everything but have spent £1B in the last decade and have gotten no closer to winning the league and champions league 😂😂😂😂
they should not have let Schmeichel go
He must have been able to see the writing on the wall.
@@innercityprepper he could have helped them stay in the PL though. They scored way more than Everton. Just let in 10 more. Where is he now Niice? Shame.
I am glad he can say he wasn't a part of that. Because he was hugely responsible for their previous success. Love Schmeichel.
@@Mcfc2Rich Worse places to be than playing for a decent team in a beautiful stadium on the French Riviera.
Also should not have let Vardy get older.
7 years after winning the title, Leicester get relegated. Next year will be 7 years since Chelsea's last title win...
... you joke, but I'm already mentally preparing myself for Championship football in 2024.
poch will sort that shower of shite out.
Nice joke
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And Chelsea could go down or avoid the drop next season if their 12th place position is anything to go by.
One premier league, one fa cup, two community shield finals with one win and a brilliant champions league quarter final with Atletico Madrid and Conference League semi final against Roma. What a journey.
Arguably got robbed against Madrid in the qf
Oh did they get into Conference League semi final against Roma? I forgot about that.
I thought they played Champions’ League followed by the Europa League.
@@sexycesc yeah exactly they played champions league and reached the quarter final then they finished 5th twice in a row 2019/20 2020/21
In 20/21 they reached the round of 32 of Europa league
In 21/22 they finished 3rd in group stage after that the had sent to the conference league and reached the semi finals against Roma (first game at king power finished 1-1 and the away game leicester lost 1-0)
And now cannon fodding with massive Dept's in to the championship
Changing the Manager in April was suicidal
It should have happened earlier.
Lunacy from the owner who is clueless about running this club since his father sadly died. Better sell out and get new investment, Saudi or someone who can get us back up. Clearly the love afair with Top and King Power has to stop right now.
In the words of Rupert Pupkin: “rather be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime”
As Gary said at the end there, Leicester have been on the most incredible ride over the last 8 years. Everton stayed up today but you’d rather be a Leicester fan with a league, fa cup but a relegation than an Everton fan who just about scrape survival every year. Leicester will be back promoted next season anyway
😂😂😂 back to the championship for your little club
@@adamkennedy7297 why do you think I support Leicester?
@@04mdsimps because your comment is blatant dick riding for Leicester
I respect Leicester but I don’t agree they’ll be back next season, I think they’re in for some pretty bad times.
I put their chances of promotion back to the prem as 50%. Far from assured given the strength of the championship next year.
It’s a collective responsibility. Constant mistakes over the past 2 seasons especially:
- giving players ridiculous contracts
- poor signings
- incompetence from Top and the board
- Rodgers should’ve been sacked earlier in the season
- weak mentality within the squad
- a “hope and pray” and “we’re too good to go down” attitude in the club
- letting players run down their contracts
- countless injuries to key players
- kicking out the captain in Schmeicel and not replacing him well at all
- possibly even the training ground pulling player togetherness apart 🤷♂️
- financial hit by covid so can’t buy players
- constant individual errors on the pitch
I mean there’s probably more issues. It’s a shitshow right now
Leicester have been financially unstable since the pandemic. Thus the squad could not be refreshed, they could not sack Rodgers, had to sell Schmeichel with no replacement, and go for bargain bin signings.
Agree on all but Schmeicel
Poor defence aswell
And Jamie Vardy not being at his full potential after his wife Rebekha lost the trial against Coleen Rooney.
All true, but had they held on to Rodgers they'd've probably stayed up.
The death of Vichai their chairman hit Leicester hard, he led them to success and was their leader and visionary.
Champions years ago to relegation. Still shocked
Same thing happened to Blackburn
Life in Premier League is not easy.
Well it's all relevant. Maybe the shock is not the fall but the rise.
Are you shocked when villages of children are bombed ?
@@dazzaMusic yep Blackburn have spent many years in the Championship all a far cry from their 90s glory days.
letting players run down contracts
another thing they should've done was install Iheanacho as their main striker for the 21/22 season. He finished 20/21 in amazing form then picked up a preseason knock at the start of 21/22 but as soon as he came back, they should've put him immediately back in. But no he was back to fits and bitpart appearances as Leicester tried to function with Vardy/Iheanacho/Daka/Barnes/Maddison/Perez and it just didn't work.
AS is spot on in that everything to do with the EPL is set up to deny upward mobility. The only way to break into the closed shop is getting gargantuan financial backing. Pep’s City to continue to dominate until NUFC project comes to fruition. 13 of 20 clubs just glad to be there.
Yeah those at the top are more likely to stay, especially with financial backing. In a way it rewards meritocracy but also rewards elitism and financial backing in football.
The only other way a smaller team can challenge would be to implement a good structure at the club, become like West Ham or Wolves in recent years, or Brighton this season and keep building upon higher revenues with European football. Requires genius and hard work, but it is conceivable.
Two words
Kasper schmeichel
4 words
Brendan Rodgers
Dean Smith
Riyad Mahrez
Leicester are a victim of the destruction COVID caused on many clubs' finances. Leicester's owners make their money in Thai tourism, and that fell apart during the pandemic. The result has been the club's failure to continuously invest in the squad, a failure to renew contracts, the selling of players undervalue without quality replacement, and the financial inability to remove Rodgers when he had to be sacked.
I feel sorry for Leicester, its fans, and its owners who despite the financial setbacks clearly care about this club. But football is a cruel sport.
Well said
All okay now though thanks to jab
@@EdekLay 😂😂😂 yea that works 😂😂😂
You missed the "L" out of "plandemic".
Hands face space 🤗
Ranieri - a really good manager
would have seen out his time
at the club,taken us forward for the next 3 or 4 years , made
us stronger,established us in the top 6,and bought a couple more players of the same quality as Kante,Okazaki and Mendy,who Ranieri bought .If he hadn't have been sacked 6 months after we won it,we'd be in the Championship in 2017 !
Brendan Rodgers is clearly to blame for Leicester's decline, which started 2 years ago. Despite what others have said, Rodgers did get investment but he spunked the money on trash who brought no benefits to the team.
Rogers also kept key performers like Iheanacho and Soyuncu out of the starting lineup. Ultimately though, the owners left him in charge too long.
U shudnt have stole him off celtic then serves uz right GTF
Poor Gary. Not.
Gary spoke a lot of sense about keeping managers. Us (Forest) are the best example of that, but there's several others.
Yep.... In cooper we trust.
Shame he can not choose the players, but he works well with what he has.
Wasn't happy to see Liecester down until I realised Lineker support them 😂
Why?
If you follow football how did you not know Lineker is a Leicester City fan?
@@kb9072considering he can't spell Leicester, might give you an inkling.
Lineker's the reason myself, and hundreds of thousands more don't watch MOTD. The highest rated MOTD in years was the one Lineker and all his mates went on strike for.
@@KatchouroBlade that's nice dear.👍
I feel for Leicester city getting relegated but to gary lineker 😂😂😂😂
I’m with you on that, Lineker’s tears are a tonic
Oh yes! He was so smug
Agree. Nothing against Leicester - think they are a great club. But I'm not a fan of champagne socialist Gary Lineker.
@@matthewsprague7674
Nail on the head. He is the original Mr Fake woke
That's wiped the smug self righteousness off someone's face. 😂😂
Was he triggering you 🥹
Karma for Lineker being a plonker
totally agree with this. I like Gary Linekar but he can really rub it in when Leicester win so, if anything, at least it's humbled him a bit 😂
@@QuiteVeryJohn Nah, it's his tweets on political issues that annoy people.
@@user-hp6ls8qy6d If he wasn't criticising the establishment I bet people would use the 'free speech' card with him
It starts and ends with letting kasper go i watched 8 or 9 games of theirs before the world cup and danny ward cost Leicester City 8-10 points on his own he was terrible
Danny Ward isn't, and has never been a Premier League-quality goalkeeper.
It's not that he's inconsistent or has a howler in him, he just seems remarkably easy to beat.
Not replacing him was the problem. Kasper himself wasn’t particularly good last season, probably cost them a few points himself, as good as he was before that
Deserve this for sacking Ranieri
What about Pearson
I still think back to when they signed 0 players one window, their recruitment has not been to their previous standards recently.
Maddison was remarkably INCONSISTENT
Missed an important spot kick against Everton 🙈
FANTASTIC NEWS. REALLY HAPPY FOR LINEKER, COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED TO A NICER BLOKE ❤️. AS USUAL TALKING NONSENSE, RELEGATION IS A DISASTER FOR ANY CLUB.
I mean they usually get a massive parachute payment and go straight back up, the next season.
@@mixodorians12mate being relegated is awful lol stop trying to play it down
@mixodorians12 Coventry, who used to be in the top flight for a long time, got relegated years ago and haven't made a return yet.
Football can give you dreams but sometimes it can give you nightmares
7 days of agony 90 minutes of hell
No matter what happens to Leicester city,, but they achieved something is possible in football,, i will respect them forever.✌🙏
Got to agree with Gary's closing comments! The glass is half full for Leicester!
Letting Schmeichel go and not having Soyuncu in the team cost Leicester relegation only one man to blame Brendan Rodgers he squandered the transfer money on complete garbage
Leicester should’ve sacked Rodgers long before they did. Everyone could see he had lost the hunger and desire and only hung in for his massive pay off.
Spot on! Brenda Bodgers had no idea how to close out a game or have a Plan B. And the ridiculous 'playing out from the back' when you only have championship-level defenders was a recipe for disaster. But, Hey! what do i know? Annoyed and Fuming Foxes fan!
@Paul Lancaster you shudnt have stole him off celtic then mid season you put a gun to his head and said come now or not atall good riddance hope u go down another league to league 1 your slagging Rodgers he won u the fa Cup and got u the league and into the champs league and u employ a guy that gets sack at villa takes Norwich down now takes uz down hope u never get back up
@@DavidBroadley-tw7ks thank you for your thoughts. Don't let facts get in the way of a rant, eh? Have a nice day. 😁
We are back but I don’t think Leicester will have that success they had in the last spell in the league which was Leicester’s second longest spell.
I've never really supported an English side and had only a passing interest in the league but all that changed that season Leicester won it. That was the most exciting Premiership season ever. By a mile. I watched ever Leicester game that was on live. Was over the moon when they won it and I've been rooting for them ever since. They'll be back.
I still remember their title winning season. Was some of the best football ive ever seen. The fall from grace has been so stark really sad.
James Justin, we will welcome you back at the kenny with open arms!
At least you get to taste different pies next season.... I hear Rotherham and Preston do lovely half time snacks....
Maddison was playing for his Newcastle future
Lineker is absolutely right 100%!!!
It happens, teams go through cycles and someone has to go down.
Not with a team valued over 400 mill you dont
Glad to see them down and out!
I feel for the team. But it's golden to see the smirk wiped off linkers face.
It's not the relegation that hurts. It's being worse than Everton 😢
😂😂😂😂 enjoy the championship boy
@adamkennedy7297 My team still in PL but thanks for concern.
@@user-hm1vp5uw9r why would you make out another teams relegation is hurtful if you don't support them? You're a Leicester fan obviously 🤣🤣🤣 don't worry son I wouldn't want to admit either 😂
Coventry will finish higher than you next season
@@davidmarchant9386 That would be weird.
Brendan Rodgers I believe would have turned it around
If you learn one thing from Manchester United is that keep sacking managers does not work. Continuity is needed
Hopefully they come back up next year but still need some massive signings to even do that IF those out of contract players leave
On recruitment because people are slating them with no context. FFP really hurt them and they had fianancial shackles this year. They should've sold Tielemans and Maddison earlier to create revenue but there definitely is a fine line where they thought if we keep them and not spend maybe we can survive the drop and go again because if you sell them and try to replace you may still go down so its a hard one to get right. Things just got very stale and like that graphic showed too many of the squad knew they weren't there next season. A great club with great owners so wish them all the best in their rebuild.
FFP? Chelsea didn't have to abide by those rules this season.
@@eivom1 they did. Difference is players will sign for chelsea for 8 years because there's a good chance of success across 8 years at a club like chelsea, and they may become star names. Few, if any, players would commit to leicester for 8 years, so they cant spread the cost across long periods of time to get around FFP.
Maybe teams will learn from this, the hopeful manager bounce can sometimes bag a few points but keeping a manager who hasn't lost the dressing room is the best course of action
Wout faes with 2 own goals against Liverpool was quality 😆
Hopefully Leicester bounce back. As an Everton fan obviously I am pleased with the eventual outcome but sad to see Leicester go after the miracles they have performed in recent years. I think they will always be a club that will have great moments but also flirt with the wrong end too. The right choices in recruitment in the next few months should see then have a good year next year.
Leicester had a good thing going, identifying great players developing them and then sell, but for some seasons they stopped doing that, and held on to a alot of players for just too long.
I think they had key aging players like Jamie Vardy and Johnny Evans not being able to run like they used to, they had a missing presence on their wings as well which they realised too late when they got tete on loan and their run in the conference league definitely tired their players out, we saw the same with West ham when they came semis in Europa that they didn't run like last year, some of those players played over 50 games of football in the whole season which is ridiculous
I think Leicester will get promoted again but they will need to rethink their tactics rather than depending on the core of their midfield considering maddison will leave for either Manchester or Newcastle united and youri tielemans will likely go to arsenal or Liverpool, I think even ndidi could be on the way out too.
Outside recruitment wasn't a good idea considering this is a team that made Robert huth from stoke and Nathan dyer premier league winners
Great escape then the title champions league last 8 5th place twice and Fa Cup win most Leicester fans would have taken that in May 2013
Majority of clubs would snap your hand off for what Leicester have achieved during this period. Relegation isn’t the end of the world, I see it more of a wake up call. There’s no reason why they can’t bounce straight back but obviously recruitment is going to be crucial now with so many likely to leave.
Problem is so many other clubs want promotion too. And if it comes down to play offs it's a lottery and a lot of luck is needed. They could be down for years to come.
They messed up when they haven t sacked Rogers before ,he ruined them and the son of the owner is definetly clueless in doing busness.
Looking back,
How do you expect to compete in the Premier League with the likes of Ward, Iversen, Amartey, Perez, Albrighton Bertrand and Vestegaard. A serious club in Europe would not have any of those players on their team.
Also, the transfers they made in this season, all where Deadline Day signings.
Albrighton was a good player in his day, and a key member of the title-wining team. The rest of them, agreed.
Brendan Rogers quit, he wasn't fired
Madison, remarkably consistent my rsss..
Jesus crist the state of the Prem with so many small teams in it not going to be good for the TV revenue I mean who is going to watch Bournemouth vs Fulham or Sheff Utd vs Burnley
Brentford vs Luton 😬
It’s going to be like it was when Blackpool, Wigan, Stoke & Bolton where in there 🤯
Still remember Stan collymore score hattrick in his first game
What happened since
I feared for leicester massively after we battered them 6-2 before the world cup
Sadly for Leicester lack of investment poor decision making within the club has put them in this position. The run They had will never be forgotten hopefully they can rebuild and come back 👍
Good luck for next season hope go back up Leicester city
Also Leeds changed their manager and went straight down, hope it sets some things straight in future
This "Top" character is largely to blame for Leicester's downfall. His (his father's) Duty Free company don't have the monopoly on Airports that they once had (a lot lower cashflow) and he seemed to cut costs across the board at the football club, gave no new contracts and pushed out the likes of KS, who would never have left if he felt wanted. Its the reverse of The Who song - The new boss is far worse than the old boss, his Dad would never have let this happen. Investing in the new training ground looks like it took precedence and he thought he could sacrifice the money from the team. But it doesn't work like that. They also invested stupid money into horse racing, which hasn't paid off. Could be another 10 years before they see the top flight, especially with him at the helm. Sad, I enjoyed their success 😢
One word , complacency
As a Spurs fan this is a massive warning to my club.
Leicester won the league only 7 years ago, had two top 5 finishes consecutively, an FA cup 2 years ago and fonished 8th last season. Yes they lost there way this season but sacking Rogers was a mistake in my view.
Just goes to show how a board can mess it up for a team. Agree players have to take responsibility but this is scary 😨
Part of that is what keeps the league exciting though IMO, no one is ever guaranteed safety.
Don't think Tottenham will go down anytime soon, I think the club can invest in a new squad and has been developing alot, like the new stadium.
There will be a huge downturn when Kane and other players leave/retire over the next 2/3 years, but that will be the worst of it for a while, they'll transition.
Madison missed that penalty against Everton that was the defining moment of there season
No it wasn't they was crap all season 😂😂😂😂
Lack of ambition and taking premier league for granted is the main reason for the disaster that waited to happen
The club lost the fighting mentality, and became a pay check dispenser for overhyped grifters.
Happens to almost every premier league club. That’s what happens when players only want to play in the league because they get more money than any other league
Agree with Gary, should have let Brendan try to sort this out. Dean Smith and John Terry added nothing to keep us up. Rabbit in the headlight signing for Dean Smith.
The key to small clubs succeeding is not to chase so called established pricey players, but to instead scout inexpensive good players that you will be able to turn a profit on further down the road. Brighton understands this the best.
Leister got destroyed because of the goalkeeper who left.
Good for them
I thought the term ' too good to go down ' had gone out of fashion . I privately thought it
Yep, great to have achieved all that we did, most of the clubs out side of the top 6 can only dream of taking in some of the silverware and even some of them in it (Tottenham) can't manage it. I disagree with Gary about Brendan Rodgers though, we should have given him the boot a lot earlier. Sticking with him for so long and accepting the decline in standards has what has led to this mess. The signs were there even the season before. We finished a respectable 8th but there was a sense that a late rally kind of papered over the cracks a bit. There are a lot of mitigating factors but Rodgers and Rudkin bare a large part of the blame for some catastrophic mismanagement.
I look at the board aswell
Gary's tight Rodgers is a good manager give him more players and he can do good. He did ok at Liverpool had us playing some nice football tbh.
I’ll tell you where it went wrong Gary, They didn’t get enough results.
Leicester ought to have concentrated on getting results instead of Lineker's politics. Fully deserved relegation.
Only happy because Gary Lineker is a supporter lol🎉🎉🎉 any others fans i feel for you
Personally I thought the error Leicester City made was not taking action earlier and changing manager. I thought against Gillingham in the FA Cup that Leicester looked every inch relegation material and that should have not acted upon.
West ham were never in any danger of going down a very expensive squad everybody knew that.
Bournemouth were doing very well to stay in contention of survival so why would they change manager and they same goes for Nottingham Forest.
As a Liverpool fan myself I can’t speak highly enough about how well Leicester have done over the last 6-7 years, it is a shame that they couldn’t maintain what they’ve been doing over the last 3 years bar 2021/22 season which was challenging for top 4 because I think them failing right towards the end of those two seasons to miss out on top four I think made them lack in belief that they could maintain that consistency in challenging for top 4. For a club that we’re a championship club before 2014 to all of a sudden for the next nine seasons to Win the prem, make quarter finals of the champions league, a conference league semi final, come very close to qualifying for the champions league twice, win the fa cup and the community sheild is what dreams are made of for a club like Leicester and is second to none for what that football club has achieved. What a story it has been and hopefully they will bounce back next season in the championship and get promoted
They sand Hillsbouorgh songs. Glad they went down
They've stank the last two years
The tragic death of the owner and his ambition was lost.
The writing was on the wall when they sacked brondon roggers
Letting their goalkeeper go was the beginning of their problem, just as it was with Everton letting James left when he was their best player previous season.
Would you rather have what Leicester had in the last 10 years (Relegation, promotion, premier League, FA cup & relegation) or be Spurs??
What about if FL still at Everton
Danny Ward was responsible for leciester's relegation. Most likely Brendan Rogers would have kept them up if he had stayed
It went wrong when the players became more powerful than the manager that gave them the title and he got his marching orders from a board that were inept.
Wow ❤
Everyone forgets their champions league run as well. Most fans would dream of this trajectory for their club
People go on about owner doing great for them but forget it was father who did all the work, his boy hasnt done anything, made any replacements sticking to an aging Vardy, defensive players were poor, even keeping players who end of their contract
Can't believe this is Insane
They never replaced N'Golo Kante. He was the only reason they won the comp. Bloke was everywhere.
The other teams have picked up so much witch they didn't a few seasons ago .I think that's the problem.Wayne
We can say the management and the owners let the Leicester fans down. So shocking
Probably would have stay up if they kept Rodger’s til the end of season
Leicester City won a Premier League, an FA Cup, got into the quarter finals of the Champions’ League and played after in the Europa League. They have done what majority of English football league clubs will only do when having a drunken Saturday night dream and they have done it in the space of less than ten years. Other clubs have been mediocre at best for around a hundred years lol 😂 they have every chance of bouncing back and, even if they don’t, what a ride it has been. Respect to Leicester and hope you come back up to the Premier League.
Shearer deep down is loving this
