Steve Cooper remains in the firing line at Leicester despite their last-gasp equaliser at Ipswich Town on Saturday, sources have told Football Insider.
The Foxes needed a 94th-minute goal from summer signing Jordan Ayew to snatch a point against Kieran McKenna’s ten-man Ipswich side following Leif Davies’ opener.
With results going against him, Cooper is struggling to win over the supporters at the King Power after many turned on him following the 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest nine days ago.
He was jeered by home supporters in the immediate aftermath of the game against the club he took to Premier League promotion two seasons ago.
There is growing impatience among the Leicester hierarchy, with sources saying Cooper could even have been sacked had his team not drawn at Ipswich.
That last-gasp Ayew strike has given the manager a stay of execution, and he is now expected to be safe until the November international break.
However, the threat of the sack remains looming over the boss and it is thought he will need a major and immediate turnaround to stave off that threat.
This comes after Football Insider revealed on 24 September that Cooper has struggled to win over the dressing room at the King Power as the players remain unconvinced by his methods.
