. It's not easy to admit when you're wrong and take responsibility, but I think it's good that he's doing just that. The Premier League title saga is crazy, I can see why they'd need a revamp 
.
. Reducing the wage bill and selling high-earning players might be tough for some fans, but I think it's necessary if they want to stay competitive 
.
. Communication with fans is key too, they need to build trust and make sure everyone's on the same page 
.
. With a new management team in place, I think they might finally turn things around 
. Fingers crossed! 
. I mean, it's been 10 years since they won that Premier League title and it's clear they've struggled to keep up ever since. Cutting costs and finding new talent is the way forward for them. I'd love to see a new manager come in who can bring some stability and direction to the team.
. It's clear he's not happy with how things have gone down but I think he's making some good calls 
. Reducing the wage bill and selling high-earning players could be a game-changer 
️. But, gotta ask, what's the plan B? 
. And cutting wages? That's gotta be hard for the players but if it means they can compete with the big six then I say let them do it 
.
. I've been following Leicester City for years and it breaks my heart to see them struggle like this. But with Srivaddhanaprabha at the helm, I'm feeling a little more hopeful 
. Maybe they'll turn things around soon?
. leicester city's owner talkin openly about makin changes and takin responsibility is like a breath of fresh air 
. 10 yrs since he spoke publicly and now he comin out with plans to revamp the club's structure... it's like, finally somethin' happenin' at leicester 
. and that quote "how can i walk away from my son" 
just broke my heart in a good way 
. fingers crossed for leicester city fans, might finally see some positivity come their way
