Leicester City “needs a complete reset" after suffering back-to-back relegations to League One, says the Foxes Trust, who have issued five calls to action.
City dropped down to the third tier of English football for just the second time in its 142-year history last season, 12 months after being relegated from the Premier League.
Foxes Trust released the results of their 2026 End of Season Survey on Wednesday night after gathering 4,413 responses from fans.
After assessing the survey results, Foxes Trust have called for ‘five priority calls to action’. They want:
Jon Rudkin to depart
A reset of the Fan Engagement Framework
Reduced ticket prices
Communication of a "credible" five-year plan
Consultation of fans on matchday experience
Ninety three percent of those who took part in the survey are dissatisfied with Rudkin’s promotion. Rudkin has a new title of chief football officer at the club after previously serving as Director of Football.
Furthermore, 92% of fans lack confidence in the club’s financial future and 91% agree that player recruitment has been poor. 94% believe the management of contracts and wages for players has been poor and 82% feel disconnected from the club.
Chair of the Foxes Trust, Lynn Wyeth, has called for change at the club to “begin the process of rebuilding and reconnecting”. “The survey results confirm the general feeling of disbelief that a director of football who has presided over three relegations in four years, despite multiple spending breaches, has been rewarded with promotion,” she said.

“Despite promises to get closer to the fans and communicate more effectively, there have been no substantive communications from the Club since relegation was confirmed on 21st April.

“The board of the Foxes Trust, believes that our Club needs a complete reset, from top to bottom. We believe that had supporters, and supporter groups, been better listened to over the last few years, the Club would not find itself in the perilous position it does today.
“Our Football Club needs to halt the decline and begin the process of rebuilding and reconnecting by listening, acting and making meaningful changes.
“We are sharing these survey results in-full with them both direct and publicly, as well as five calls to action we believe would go a long way to getting the club heading back in the right direction.
“We hope, this time, the Club listens to what supporters are telling it.”
In a statement, the club acknowledged the findings and said they "remains committed to ongoing dialogue with supporters and supporter groups".
A Leicester City spokesperson said: “We acknowledge the findings published by the Foxes Trust following their recent supporter survey. We recognise the strength of supporter feeling at this time and appreciate the level of engagement from those who took part.
