Conor Coady says internal issues persist at struggling Leicester City

Former defender Conor Coady suggested that Leicester City’s recent struggles stem from deep-rooted issues beyond the manager and playing squad. The club currently sits 18th in League One with five points from five matches following a 4-0 home defeat to Oxford United on Saturday. Coady noted that the club has been in a period of transition for several years, suffering three relegations in the last four seasons. Journalist Rory Smith questioned the lack of a consistent long-term strategy, pointing to the varying styles of recent managers. Manager Russell Martin remains under pressure to secure quick results to meet expectations for an immediate return to higher competition. Ownership has placed the club on the market with an asking price exceeding £200m as the search for stability continues.
