Leicester City lost another game, this time on Friday night against Brentford, which meant that the Foxes set a new record of all time.
It has not been the best season for Midlands and this could go somehow to explain why Jamie Vardy could sign another Premier League club and why Wilfred Ndidi was able to end at Atlético de Madrid.
Van Nistelrooy’s unwanted record
In fact, in case Leicester falls through the descent trap door, there is likely to be a massive exodus of players who do not want to play a tough championship season on 25/26.
If the foxes go down, it is likely that it is also the end of Van Nistelrooy, unless the club’s hierarchy decides to plunder it before.
The Dutchman has supported what should be one of the worst runs of any director from anywhere since he took over Steve Cooper.
Since overcoming West Ham in his opening match on December 3 last year, and has appeared against Brighton in the second game of Van Nistelrooy, Leicester has only beat the Queens Park Rangers in the FA CUP and the Tottenham to the Premier League.
They have lost the other 11 games and, after the 4-0 defeat against the bees, a game in which Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard and Fabio Carvalho scored all, Leicester remained in 19th.
Leicester is likely to be relegated under Ruud Van Nistelrooy
The wolves are two points and two places above them, but there is an eight -point vacuum in West Ham, so the probability is that the three that come down from the teams currently in the lower four.
If Nistelrooy did not have enough to worry about the next games, he has also set a new record for all time to have lost six games at home in a row without scoring.
This has never happened before in the history of first English football and could be the final nail of Van Nistelrooy’s coffin.
