It’s no secret that there’s quite a big position to fill at Leicester and rumours have been circulating that Roy Hodgson is the favourite to take over as manager.
Following Claudio Ranieri’s unceremonious sacking last week, caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare has been filling in (leading to a 3-1 win against Liverpool to help move them from the relegation zone) but could the old England boss be heading for the Foxes?
Well, Leicester have refused to respond to the reports that they’ve approached Hodgson, but that hasn’t stopped everyone speculating about whether he would be able to fill Ranieri’s boots.
Let’s be diplomatic – a lot of people don’t think it’s a great idea.

Does this mean Jamie Vardy will be taking corners and playing on the wing?
Roy Hodgson is linked with the Leicester City job … Vardy then on corners ????

Doesn’t anyone remember about Iceland?
REMINDER TO @LCFC Roy Hodgson was England manager until suffering the ignominy of an exit to Iceland at Euro 2016.

Leicester fans are not coping well.
If Leicester appoint Roy Hodgson I will cry

I really don't want Roy Hodgson to be our new manager. We should just keep Craig Shakespeare until the end of the season @LCFC

If its Roy Hodgson then I will be signing my official papers to switch allegiance to Hinckley United.

Roy Hodgson in talks with Leicester, if he gets the job I'm leaving with Claudio. #LCFC

Some people are staying positive though.
Roy Hodgson would be perfect for Leicester, the key to their success was a solid defense and that's exactly what Roy would bring #ffc

Massive over-reaction to Hodgson for Leicester. Terrible time at England, but that's standard. Well at WBA and Fulham, good mid-table coach

OK not many.
