Leicester are in a special situation at the moment. We believe there will be no interim regime at the club at this point. Ruud van Nistelrooy will not walk away from his contract. Therefore, the current situation will continue until the end of the season. The game yesterday is one very difficult. This is not the day to judge Ruud on his job. It will clearly be done at the end of the season.
Danny Rohl is said to be a contender. He is doing a good job at Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls had a struggle to pay wages at some point in the season. So a move for Rohl could be one to consider if Ruud is to walk.
We have seen Leicester taking different actions towards manager decisions. There were busy times under the leadership of Milan Mandaric. The manager changed often. This led to a decline in performances. Under Thai onwership we have seen the same. There is a strong leader at the top. Players also have a strong presence and are said to have a direct line to this leader.
We do believe Ruud will be gone when a relegation is definate. If he manage to turn the ship and a survival happens, then he will continue to run the show.

We have seen Liam Rosenior mentioned as a candidate. TCF believed he should have been approached in the summer. He was out of a job then. Surely, he was a better candidate than any of the two who has been tested this season.
There will of course be a number of condidates to consider. They could go for a man in a job at the moment. Picking an assistant from a top club as they did with Enzo Maresca. Another alternative is to bring in a man who is vacant. Claudio Ranieri was an example of such.
The name Steven Gerrard would be controversial. He was also linked to the job on previous occasions. This could see a return for Gary McAllister to Leicester. He is close to Steven Gerrard and was his assistant at Rangers and Aston Villa. McAllister previously worked in this capacity also under Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool.
There will be interesting days coming up. The struggles at this point are huge. We cannot really see the miracle happening. It seems unlikely for Ruud to continue, for next season.
