The Foxes are currently preparing for life in League One, back in third tier for the first time since the 2008-09 season.
From winning the Premier League back in 2016, to back to back relegations. The fans certainly made their feelings known, holding many a protest.
Supporters and players got into a confrontation, “Top” also came out to face the noise towards the end of the 2025/26 season.

Here’s how fans reacted with reports that an unnamed Middle Eastern firm are interested in buying Leicester City with owners King Power open to selling…
@ReeveTom: Not sure how i feel about this 🤔
@lcfczoone_: MY CLUB WILL BE FUCKING BACK 🥹 🇸🇦 #lcfc
@ExclLcfcnews: Premier league here we come #lcfc
@hursty16: Lets be totally honest here, who really is surprised about this? It’s been blindingly obvious for a couple of years, at least, that Tops heart isn’t in this club anymore. Can understand why but it probably is for the best that he moves on, with our eternal gratitude #lcfc 💙🦊
@ragsyrai: Yet we were told by the nay sayers that protesting was pointless, the financial demise is the prime factor but our stance on them to sell has affirmed it, they were passively looking to sell a minority stake for years but now even they know they’re finished #LCFC
@lcfc_broski: They are selling bc they ruined the club and have no cash and KP is in trouble. They gave zero crap about the protests
@Bedfordfoxajb: Potentially the right time. Still a huge disconnect between club and fans. They have been brilliant but have also contributed to the biggest football failure in modern times.
@quickbluefox07: If true, Top should have done this 2-3 years ago if his heart wasn’t in it anymore…. and he’d have probably got a far better price for it then too!
@Armchair_LCFC: No surprise whatsoever. The money has dried up. King Power won’t fund us anymore. Selling up is the best thing he can do for us.
@rudfoxes0205: That would b the highlight of my year & year before that & before that. Top has proven how incompetent he has since his dad passed & new ownership, new direction, new blood, new investment would be amazing. As long as any deal sees the departure of JON RUDKIN, I’d be delighted.
@sparky__26: Any money made in this transfer window isn’t going to be invested back into the club, let’s be honest top and king power will asset strip it as much as possible and disappear back to Thailand when it’s a carcass and sold for peanuts. The training ground will be next #lcfc
@THLCFC: Fully support the sale of the club. the fact he’s listed us means he’s lost interest. We need owner/s who are fully dedicated to returning the club to where it belongs and keeping it there. Wasn’t the same after Vichai passed. Yes we won the FA cup and had Europe but not the same
@Robbie_T7: Just do the fit and proper right. As much as I don’t really like Leicester, too many fans are screwed over because the FA let anyone take over and don’t react when the owners decide they are bored. It’s the fans that lose out.
@CJ_7171: Sounds like better times are ahead for Leicester & they’re managing to wriggle free of their inept owners. At least they realise they’ve fucked up badly & it’s best for everyone to just leave & walk away, unlike our useless, oblivious spivs #fosunout
@LCFCx15: not sure how I feel about this, new owners is always risky, especially when the club’s direction is finally looking more positive. we have needed a change for a long time and so far this transfer window has seen drastic changes so maybe this one is necessary too.
@JamieB8806: BuT WhOs GOnnA BUy Us? 🇹🇭 🦊 💙
@Ryanlcfc2: If true, this is a significant moment for our club. A sale is far from guaranteed, but the fact King Power are reportedly exploring options suggests the club could be entering a new chapter. The priority now is finding owners with a clear, sustainable vision. #LCFC
@RFox55_: A day closer to getting my football club back! If a sale is agreed, I hope McCarron is kept on as he’s doing a quality job.
