Leicester City's Biggest Headache Keeping Club from Sacking Brendan Rodgers

• Leicester City are still calculating the cost of sacking manager Brendan Rodgers after a poor start to the season
• The Foxes are without a win and have picked up a solitary point in their opening seven games
• Rodgers is one of the best-paid managers in Britain at the moment and it could cost Leicester dearly to sack him

An out-of-sorts Leicester City are weighing their options as far as sacking their current manager Brendan Rodgers is concerned.

Several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Bournemouth have already made managerial changes early on in the season after poor runs.

For Leicester, however, the situation is trickier despite the fact that Rodgers has lost six games on the bounce heading into the international break.

The latest 6-2 hammering at the hands of Tottenham rang alarm bells all over, and Rodgers is now a heavy favourite to receive the sack.

However, the Sun also reports that sacking Rodgers would be an expensive affair for Leicester, who cannot afford to take a huge financial hit.

The cash-strapped club would reportedly have to pay the former Swansea and Liverpool boss in excess of £ 10 million.

Rodgers is one of the best-paid managers in all of Britain, with only the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte earning more than his £10million-a-year.

One of Leicester’s biggest obstacles to sacking the 49-year-old is the fact that his deal is fairly new, with three years still remaining.

Sacking him would mean a very heavily severance package.

Leicester is among the elite clubs in Europe which had little to no transfer activity in the summer, with most of the transfer gossip revolving around players’ exits.

Tielemans happy to take break from Leicester

Elsewhere, midfielder Youri Tielemans has admitted things are tough at Leicester City and going back to his national team provided a much-needed break.

The Belgian almost left Leicester in the summer but ultimately decided to stay with one year remaining on his contract.

He however reiterates that he does not have any qualms over his decision to remain with the Foxes, despite their struggles so far this campaign.
