Champions to relegation, Leicester City, who have repeatedly failed in their attempts to break into the BIG 6, have finally seen their "blood-selling mode" backfire on themselves as the holder, the King Power Group, has been hit by the Wuhan Pneumonia Epidemic, which has caused them to suffer a huge loss of financial resources.

Many people will still be lamenting the fact that they missed out on the closest thing to wealth and freedom in their lives (1 to 5,000 for the Foxes to win the title that season). What was not expected was that the club that had won the FA Cup Community Shield the year before would be relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. With the other two accompanying teams

Unlike relegated teams, Leicester City's relegation is a long story to tell.
Also, after being relegated to the Championship, there are many people, including the biggest names on this site, who are optimistic that the Foxes will have no problem getting promoted next season. Is that really the case?
The English media now like to trace Leicester City's relegation back to the team's 2015/16

on the team-building strategy formed after winning the championship.
At the time, the Foxes were both trying to prevent the giants from swarming in to carve up their starting lineup in the short term, and were also looking to fund the team by selling off starters. As a result, from the summer of 2016 onwards, one could see the Foxes sell an absolute starter at a high price every year, and then use that money on contract extensions for the rest of the starters as well as gradually acquiring young players from the market in order to gradually complete the bloodletting of the entire lineup.

The most celebrated small and medium-sized clubs are even getting their first glimpse of the hallowed halls of luxury.
However, this policy was interrupted for a time in the summer of 2021, which some blamed on the general downturn in player trading due to the epidemic, when in fact Leicester City still had a number of hot bargains in their squad. It would have been better to continue with the annual dumping strategy at this point, but Leicester City have been in the midst of a second consecutive year with the

The rubbers went against the grain and retained all of their starters in that summer transfer window and ended up backing the General Manager with a net outlay of nearly £60 million to revamp the squad.
The ensuing 2021/22 season is in fact the turning point in Leicester City's fortunes.
They didn't look too bad last season, starting with the FA Cup winners at Wembley.

(The last honor of the journey) However, last season the whole team has begun to show chaos, bouncing around 6 major tournaments, 7 countries, 58 games, experienced 31 injuries before and after, and it is also in this season that the team's defense began to carry the symptoms of a large number of goals conceded.

Instead, the team was knocked out of the knockout rounds and went to Europe to fight until the last 4 before being eliminated by the champions Roma. After the FA Cup, the team was knocked out 4-1 in the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest, who were still in the Championship at the time, and after the match the manager openly expressed for the first time his concern and dissatisfaction with the progress of the team's rebuild, "Nine of our starting eleven are the same old players from three years ago when I first took over the team, and some of the players have already entered their psychological comfort zones due to past success. We need to evolve our roster and this coming summer will be critical for us."

A club that still hadn't signed any new signings at the start of the gong. The Fannie was already in a position to do so, and the Foxes spent £182 million on player salaries alone last season, accounting for a whopping 85% of the team's total revenue, and leaving them with an eventual loss of a record £92.5 million, triggering the FFP alert on the financial shackles, and the Foxes were in that position in what should have been one of the most pivotal

Wout Faes was signed from Ligue 1 on the closing day of the market, but the housemaster was embarrassed to find that the cards in his hand were not even as good as 7 months ago: compared to the FA Cup loss to Nottingham Forest last season, Leicester City released Danish keeper and captain Kasper Schmeichel in the summer and failed to bring in a replacement, choosing instead to bring back substitute keeper Danny Ward, which led to the The Foxes started the season with a bang, picking up only 1 point in the first 7 rounds, and the entire season

There were only 17 gate clearances.
This season the Foxes are the 10th team to start the season with less than one point in the first seven games, and only four teams eventually escaped relegation, but the last time has been 2017/18 super-hard-hitting Crystal Palace. The youthful back four is in dire straits, and with a goalkeeper and reserves at the bottom of the league, the team's defense is naturally in disarray.
