The next few months should have been simple for Leicester City. After executing one of the greatest ever Premier League escapes, Nigel Pearson’s Foxes should be concentrating solely on their preparation for next season.
And if squad preparation isn’t enough for Pearson, he’ll also have to deal with transfers and the general ins and outs of the club. It’s imperative that they avert the void that we witnessed Steve Bruce’s Hull City fall into this season. For a club like Leicester, transfers have to be at the very top of their off-season agenda.
Sadly for Leicester City fans, this might not be the case for this season.
The club has confirmed that they are investigating leaked footage of three of their players, including Pearson’s son, performing sex acts whilst racially abusing three asian girls.
The squad were in Thailand to celebrate their survival in England’s top league, and to help promote the club in the owner’s home country. It’s safe to say, that a universally acclaimed squad have been left with nothing to eulogize, after Nigel Pearson’s son James, 21, and pals Tom Hopper, a striker, and goalkeeper Adam Smith, 22, filmed three Thai girls committing sex acts with them in a hotel room, thus letting down a previously celebratory squad.
The trio then foolishly forwarded their videos to friends in the UK, in which one you can hear racist jibes towards the girls.
On Sunday, the club released the following statement via spokesperson: “We take the conduct of our players at every level extremely seriously and will take appropriate action, if necessary, once the full facts of the situation have been established.
Pending the outcome of an internal investigation, the club will make no further comment.”
It is unsure on whether the players will face the sack, but a hefty fine is expected to be implemented.
