Leicester owner 'tears into squad' during angry meeting at training ground

Leicester City owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha tore into Foxes players in a crisis meeting at the club's Seagrave training ground earlier this week, according to reports.

A turbulent weekend at the King Power Stadium saw Leicester lose at home to Chelsea, resulting in Steve Cooper being sacked just 12 Premier League games into his reign. Hours before his dismissal, and in the wake of the Chelsea defeat, Leicester players were spotted partying in Copenhagen.

The Christmas get-together was signed off by Cooper in advance, but it brought criticism from fans, who were fresh from witnessing a fifth consecutive winless match.

Srivaddhanaprabha was not impressed either. According to The Telegraph, the Thai businessman confronted the whole squad and accused them of letting Cooper down by performing poorly since their promotion back to the top flight.
