“What NONSENSE, he’s the cost of all this, his time at Kind Stadium is over”- Danny Murphy names who is ‘to blame’ for Leicester City’s horrendous run of form
Leicester City will face Newcastle United tonight in a crucial Premier League match that the Foxes must win.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team is currently 15 points behind Wolves, who occupy the final safe spot in the top flight, with time running out for Leicester to achieve the results needed to avoid relegation, especially with Southampton already confirmed to drop down.
Rumors over the weekend suggested Russell Martin is being linked to the Leicester job, further raising pressure on Van Nistelrooy to win over the fans. The Dutch manager’s tenure at the King Power Stadium has thus far been a complete disaster.
Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has now pointed to one person as the key reason for Leicester’s poor form in recent weeks.
Ruud van Nistelrooy to blame for Leicester City’s struggles
Speaking on TalkSport, Murphy laid the blame squarely on Van Nistelrooy, stating, “You have to change something, be more adventurous, take more risks. The coach has to take the blame.”
With Leicester on the brink of making unwanted history—should they lose to Newcastle tonight without scoring—things look bleak for the 2015/16 Premier League champions.
Van Nistelrooy’s role in Leicester’s dramatic decline this season is undeniable. Despite his impressive background managing PSV Eindhoven and a stint at Manchester United, he has proven to be a poor fit for Leicester’s needs.
Leicester has made a series of missteps over the past two years, and appointing Van Nistelrooy has only pushed the club further from their ambitions to return to competing at the highest level in the Premier League.
Leicester must move on from Ruud van Nistelrooy this summer
Even if Leicester manage to finish the season on a positive note, Van Nistelrooy’s tenure will still be viewed as a failed experiment. His credentials, while impressive, haven’t translated into success at Leicester.
As the summer approaches, Leicester will need to search for a new manager—one who can build for the long term and lead the club back to its former glory. If the right decisions are made behind the scenes, Leicester can once again become an exciting project. However, as this season has shown, the board has struggled to address the club’s most pressing issues.
