NafisaWe outline and give our thoughts on why Lee Carsley was seen at Leicester City Football Club. Is the England Under-21s boss preparing to step in at King Power Stadium? Current Leicester coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is unlikely to last beyond the summer on Filbert Way.
Plenty of fans in the East Midlands are now speculating on when the Dutchman will exit. Alongside that, they’re also considering which familiar – or perhaps surprising – tactician might succeed the former Manchester United forward.
As well as discussing that LCFC angle, there is more to evaluate elsewhere in the Leicester setup. One highly regarded Foxes youngster has come under fire for his recent displays.
While on loan at already-relegated Cardiff City, Will Alves’ form notably dipped. Some sections of the Bluebirds fanbase were also unhappy with the young Fox’s contribution toward the tail end of the campaign. Let’s explore both situations and attempt to understand the root of the unrest.
Talented Leicester youngster slammed for Cardiff City outings after Welsh relegation blow
We sympathise with you in Leicestershire, Cardiff supporters! They’ve suffered relegation too. And, although Alves started brightly while on loan from Leicester, he couldn’t make a lasting impact for the Bluebirds.
Naturally, the emerging talent thanked the fans on social media after departing, as is customary. However, the Welsh supporters weren’t overly impressed with Alves.
WalesOnline’s Glen Williams noted fans’ ‘patience eventually wore thin’ with the 20-year-old. The journalist explained Alves lost his starting spot and was later deployed as a last-ditch option at Cardiff City Stadium.
Why Lee Carsley showed up at Leicester City’s:
Carsley is the coach most heavily linked with replacing van Nistelrooy at LCFC, based on current rumours. That said, he was most likely in attendance at the King Power to observe Southampton players in his capacity with the England U21s.
Still, one can hope Carsley found his time in LE2 worthwhile.
