Gary Lineker says Leicester City fans are ‘baffled’ by Steve Cooper decision amid ‘worried’ verdict

Steve Cooper has undergone a difficult start to life as manager of Leicester City with one point from three games in the Premier League.

In truth, Steve Cooper started his rein as Leicester City manager on the back foot with promotion-winning manager Enzo Maresca leaving for Chelsea and taking Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall with him.

Add to that Cooper’s affiliation with rivals Nottingham Forest and you can see that the Welshman had his work cut out from the get go to be a success at Leicester.

However, Cooper is not one to shirk a challenge and will look to earn the love of the Leicester fanbase by steering their club to Premier League safety in the face of financial worries and a possible points deduction.

A somewhat lucky opening day draw with Tottenham Hotspur has been followed up with narrow 2-1 defeats to both Fulham and Aston Villa; with a 4-0 win over Tranmere Rovers in the Carabao Cup a welcome first competitive win for Cooper.

Despite the fact Dewsbury-Hall was sold to Chelsea to help Leicester avoid a PSR breach this summer, Leicester have splashed the cash on the likes of Oliver Skipp, Caleb Okoli and Bilal El Khannous for the new season.
