Leicester City fans were in complete agreement about the future of manager Ruud van Nistelrooy after witnessing another embarrassing defeat.

On Friday night, Ruud van Nistelrooy hit a new low at the King Power Stadium as Leicester were thrashed 4-0 by Brentford.

Fans called for Van Nistelrooy to be sacked as a result, with hardly anyone convinced of the 48-year-old turning a desperate situation around.

This was evident once more on Thursday as Leicester were comfortably beaten 2-0 by West Ham, as the visitors hardly laid a glove on the Hammers across 90 minutes.

The Leicester manager set up his players in a defensive style, but two shocking pieces of defending in the first half saw West Ham score two goals.

More alarmingly, the Foxes only made one final third entry in the first 35 minutes, telling of how ineffective and lifeless they were in all aspects of their game.

Leicester City fans want Ruud van Nistelrooy sacked after West Ham defeat

Many saw Leicester replacing Steve Cooper with Van Nistelrooy as a turning point in their season as the Dutchman promised to bring some exciting, attacking football.

Three months into his tenure in charge, all the hype surrounding his appointment has evaporated, with Leicester losing 11 of their last 12 matches in the league.

That is an abysmal run of form and warrants being sacked, something the fans think should happen after watching their latest inexcusable display.

“You can say all you want about the board at Leicester etc. Ruud is a diabolical manager,” one fan wrote.

“Ndidi wins a foul deep in Leicester territory to relieve some pressure. Surely Ruud van Nistelrooy has to react here? His have been atrocious,” another commented.

“Ruud has less than half the points per game of Steve Cooper He’s the worst manager I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen David Pleat, Ian Holloway, Rob Kelly and Craig Levein manage us,” a third said.

“Ruud sacked by the time my train arrives please,” a fifth replied while many commented on Van Nistelrooy not making any substitutions at half-time.

“No subs!??? After that? Bye Ruud,” one fan wrote and another said: “No changes. Yeah Ruud has given up.”

Leicester City are as good as relegated

Regardless of whether Leicester sack Van Nistelrooy or not, it seems a return to the Championship is nailed on, and no other manager could prevent them from dropping.

No team has ever survived in the Premier League after taking 17 points from 27 matches, and given the horrid fixture run coming up, it’s impossible to see how this team takes many more points, if any.

Following this defeat to West Ham, it’s clashes against Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle. It’s hard to see them taking any points from those games, with next to no chance of making up the current five-point gap.
