They were angry at the players who emerged from the stadium, and they wanted the chief football officer Jon Rudkin out of the club. There were also renewed calls for the owner Khun Srivaddhanaprabha, to sell the club. Khun Top, as well as manager Gary Rowett, listened to what some fans had to say. The owner also issued a statement external saying there were “no excuses” for dropping to the third tier a decade after the 5,000-1 Premier League title win and just five years after lifting FA Cup. “We have experienced both the highest highs and the lowest lows. The pain is shared amongst us all. “I am deeply sorry for the disappointment that we have caused. “I understand how strongly our fans feel, and we don’t take their support for granted at times like this. They were relegated after 12 games. They were relegated within 12 games. Rowett, who succeeded Marti Cifuentes in February, had 14 games to save the club from the drop. Rowett said that in order to bounce back quickly from a relegation, any club would need to learn lessons and ensure they don’t repeat the same mistakes. “I am not saying that I have received any assurances – this is not my responsibility. It’s up to the club to decide what they do. Here is my opinion on how decisive you may need to be to ensure you hit the ground with next season. The club will have to make financial cuts of tens of millions, but some players will also need to move on. Ricardo Pereira is out of contract this summer, as are Patson Daka, Jordan Ayew, and Jannik Vestergaard, who are on loan at Monaco. Rowett said that there would be a “natural freshening up” of the team. “At every club in the country, whether you’re relegated, or not, a few players will feel that a new start would benefit them, and maybe even the club. I won’t go into the semantics about which players they are. “‘Leicester was everyone’s second team'[embedded contents]Rowett spoke before a group of media in a room where the voices of fans outside the stadium could be heard. “It is a wonderful football team, it’s such a shame to look at where they are,” said Holden. “They were everyone’s second favorite team 10 years ago, when they won the Premier League. It’s so sad to see them drop off.” “Supporters must be frustrated. I’m sure they have gone through a lot. “Rowett said that he “understands the frustration” of the fans. He added that it is “incredibly extreme”, to have won the Premier League ten years ago, and then “have this low”. Rowett told BBC Sport that “it absolutely hurts”. “It is a nice story because it’s the Premier League but I don’t believe that it resonates more than anyone else being relegated into League One. “Of course, it’s a larger story and it’s sure to get more coverage. But ultimately, the pain for any fan who gets relegated will probably be quite similar. “Related topicsLeicester CityChampionshipFootballMore on this storyLatest Leicester news, analysis and fan viewsListen to Leicester City content on BBC Sounds
