It was when the Leicester City hierarchy noticed a new disconnect between Brendan Rodgers and his players on the training ground this week that they decided ...

Many around the club, meanwhile, talk of how it hastened a decline in the Rodgers’ project. The brightness of his ideas were now met with a staleness, with results, then naturally seeing the more debated elements of Rodgers’ man-management irritating players who wouldn’t have previously cared.
