'The most worrying is the complete disconnect with fans'
We asked you what you thought of Ruud van Nistelrooy's departure from Leicester what you had to say:RJ: I feel we need somebody that won't shy away from difficult decisions, somebody that has a track record of being able to motivate, and sort out the deadwood. I think Sean Dyche is probably the best person. It saddens me to see the club in this Ruud had to go, with his record. Get rid of the deadwood. Get Harry Winks back in midfield and give Liam Rosenior, a bright young coach to bring on all our very talented Right decision, awful timing. I suspect there have been negotiations with Ruud (this is "mutual consent", not an actual sacking) to reduce his pay-off and an agreement has just been reached. Otherwise the timing makes absolutely no sense. And please not Sean Dyche. My patience with and interest in the club I've supported for over 30 years is wearing very thin and that might be the straw which breaks this particular camel's in North Wales: It's strange why it has taken so long when everyone knew he wasn't the right man to bring us back up. You know what you are getting with Sean Dyche, the style won't please everyone but he has a good track record. The question is, how much money will he be have to play with, given PSR?Neil: I think the club have taken far too long and treated Ruud really badly. I fear for the future with the news of King Powers financial troublesGary: The most worrying aspect in the last couple of years at Leicester City I feel is the complete disconnection with the supporters. Never has there been clarity or an explanation into the club's plans or directions. Nobody has come forward, held their hands up and accepted responsibility for this dire downturn in the club's fortunes. There has been no meetings, fan forums or explanation into the status quo. We are at the same point as 12 months ago, no manager with a possible points deduction looming. The club (or someone) needs to take control of the situation quickly; or we'll be sleepwalking down to League Well, there you go! Those in charge have treated RVN shamefully. Could anyone have gotten any better from the players put together for the season. I doubt it. He should have been given 20 more games. Well he is better off without the job! Who next? Nigel Pearson; if he wants the job. Proven winner!Steve: The people who really need to be sacked are still running the football club, and with King Power going bust and financial rules penalty points looming, our darkest days will soon be upon us. What a mess!Ian: Too little, too late.. you could not write this mess in modern history. It's like taking big risks before preparing for a new season in one of the most competitive season in the Championship. Almost like leaving it last minute to climb Kilimanjaro or Everest. You need the right leader to manage a team to climb that mountain day by day. The club is like an oxygen tank supporting this group every step and like any Hollywood story the mad expedition boss in charge taking huge risks. Will we achieve that goal getting back to the Prem or are we doomed to fail at the first attempt? "Top of the world" or flop again!

Leicester v Liverpool: Premier League
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Want a match preview written by me? Probably not but here it is anyway. Share Still no Harry Winks in the Leicester squad. Van Nistelrooy does not like chatting about it after reports Winks was originally omitted having fallen out with the Dutchman over a demand to stay at the training ground once a week rather than continue a lengthy commute. Alexander-Arnold is back in the matchday squad for Liverpool after five weeks out as the days seemingly tick down on his Anfield career. Share Leicester (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Ricardo, Faes, Coady, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; El Khannous, De Cordova, Mavididi; Vardy Subs: Stolarczyk, Justin, Kristiansen, Okoli, Skipp, Buonanotte, Ayew, Daka Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenbech; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Gakpo Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Jones, Elliott, Jota, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah Share If you are coming here for a Liverpool title confirmation, then Arsenal want a word with you. Instead we will see Leicester get relegated if Liverpool give them the shooing everyone expects. Obviously, Arne Slot's side will win the league in the next seven days but Arsenal want to delay the celebrations as long as possible. The Reds have been the best team in the league all season, offering effective and efficient football. Mohamed Salah is their star turn, settling many matches to prove his worth at Anfield, something he will continue to do for a couple more years at least. We could do some deep analysis on Leicester but they truth is they are utterly dreadful and will most likely be down by the end of the day. Ruud van Nistelrooy completely failed to correct the slide and will have to wonder if it is worth staying on for next season in the Championship. Let's hope it is competitive, at least. Kick-off: 4.30pm BST Share
