    Leicester City: Owner Khun Top takes blame for Foxes’ decline

    The club’s finances have been top of the repair list.

    Khun Top insists wages, which were outstripping the club’s turnover in recent years, have been “reduced a lot” and that he expects the club to comply with spending rules in future.

    As for charges the club faces for alleged PSR breaches relating to the 2023-24 season when Leicester were promoted as Championship title winners, Khun Top was hesitant to go into detail as he awaits the outcome of a hearing that could bring with it a potential points penalty.

    “I cannot say anything, I have to wait until the result comes out and hope it’s fair,” he said.

    “The club is in the healthy position in terms of complying with the PSR. We are OK with that. And I’m here to support on those finances anyway.

    “I’m here 100%, and I want to make sure the club is sustainable with a long-term plan, and not just that we are promoted this year and next year come back down again.”

    The club that Khun Top presides over now is in much the same position as the one his father bought in 2012, sitting in the Championship and rebuilding for a shot at the Premier League.

    The difference is that Leicester were then a club on their way back up from League One, while this is now a club whose greatest successes have faded into the background of mediocrity.

    Khun Top, however, says he wants to recapture the essence of what drove Leicester to such unimaginable heights in the first place.

    “We should be the underdog like before. We should fight for every ball, fight for each other,” he said.

    “When we won the Premier League, when we won the FA Cup, we had ambition. And ambition will never be gone in this club. It’s still here.”
