Can Leicester be relegated?

[stuartmmcfc]

From the start, let me say I hope not. I don't want any team to be relegated (except Utd obviously .
After last seasons amazing success everything seems to be going wrong.
Living in Leicester now, I've been amazed to hear some to talk of sacking Ranieri. They feel that he couldn't repeat last season so they should have got someone who could!
They're 2 points above the relegation zone, teams below them seem to be coming into form, there's disharmony in the ranks and they're setting all sorts of records for poor results as defending champions, especially away from home.
I think last season was the result of a "perfect storm" and I didn't expect it to be repeated but I didn't expect them to be where they are now either.
What's going to happen?

Hull winning didnt help though.
Stuff Utd tomorrow in the same way you did us, and I'll be happy

We pegged Swansea back so Utd ought be a bit down and Leicester should be a bit up.
Down to you lads

They won't go down.

A lot of people, myself included, were saying they won't win the league this time last year.
I suspect the bookmakers odds are shorter at the moment for relegation right now than they were for winning last year this time?

I think Leicester would be financially ok for while, what with the prize money from last year and this years CL. They've not spent like Champions and their owners aren't short of a bob or two

Not going to well at the moment.

[stuartmmcfc]

If Leicester were to be knocked out of the CL, would it focus the mind and result in the team putting renewed effort in staying up or would it destroy what little confidence is left?

[stuartmmcfc]

I think Rob has hit the nail on the head. Leicesters current momentum only has one outcome unfortunately.

[stuartmmcfc]

Yesterday: definitely going down.
Today: I think there's a good chance they'll stay up, especially if they can bring Mancini in.

The Hull match will really show where Leicester are going. A win and I'm sure everything will be ok, lose and it's back to looking forward to playing Forest and Derby next season.

Blaming Leicester for not winning the league is the funniest and most deluded thing I've ever read

Leicester were by far the best team last season but if they weren't so good last season & by our standards we had a good one & with everybody else other than Arsenal being so average the yes i think we could well of won it.


Fair play to Leicester they came to our place sat back & won & that was that. I'm not blaming Leicester at all we weren't good enough & they were ,

I was hoping for a foaming mouthed reply but that almost seems quite reasonable
