  24. 🎧 Managerial chaos but is it exciting?

    More Managerial Candidates Emerge

    "The one thing that hasn't changed is the chaos in the situation."

    Could Leicester's new man in charge be former Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder? Sheffield Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl? Former Burnley and Everton manager Sean Dyche? Or could they look at ex-Wolves boss Gary O'Neil?

    The When You're Smiling team take a look at the candidates for Leicester City's vacant managerial role, but former Foxes winger Matt Piper isn't feeling all that enamoured.

    "Flip-flopping around from different managers, different journeymen, just reeks of what we've all been pointing fingers at the club for," Piper said.

    "It all seems a little bit unprofessional, not well planned out and scraping the barrel.

    "No candidates really on that list that you're really excited about or I'm certainly not anyway."
