Football Weekly · Coventry return to Premier League and relegation looms for Leicester – Football Weekly podcast · 21 Apr 2026 podcast

It doesn't make sense, especially when you consider that two seasons ago, loads of these players were

were in a team that won the championship playing for Enzo Maresca, whose style of football was like a heavy possession, aggressive possession, high press.

Like what made them think that these were the right decisions?

I can understand with Rauert, the idea is like, oh God, we need a firefighter.

Let's go and get someone who supposedly guarantees safety.

But-

you know you've got to look at squad fit and player profile fit and it doesn't surprise me at all that these players who you know know they're not going to be playing in league one next season are looking at this and thinking you know what i don't really fancy this like this isn't the way that we want to play and i'm not going to it's not conducive to getting us to win games of football i was going to ask um i think it might be a kind of a spurs effect here in that

Yes, not great.

Pretty nervous ahead of tonight.

I mean, the thing is, because Blackburn have played this extra game, and because Blackburn play away at Sheffield United on Wednesday night, it basically means that Oxford can go into Wrexham tonight knowing that a defeat will make it almost impossible.

Not impossible, because we can win our last two games of the season.

If Blackburn lose to both of theirs, then we will overtake them, but...

you know what I keep saying to Oxford fans who are telling me that it's over is that if we beat Wrexham tonight a game for which Oxford are favourites to win and then Blackburn don't beat Sheffield United tomorrow night then we go into a home game against Sheffield Wednesday knowing that a win will take us out of the relegation zone going into the final day so it's not over but it's not looking great but tonight is it's huge it's the first time I've woken up on the day of a game which I'm going to feeling genuinely and genuinely quite sick because either I'm going to go to bed such a funny feeling isn't

delirious or i'm gonna be crying yeah yeah it's so funny this thing that we do it's not good for us that pit of your stomach and there'll be so many listeners supporting so many teams feeling like that am i right in thinking that west brom's points deduction has to be resolved before the end of this season is that right i think we'll find out relatively soon it would be a bit of a strange situation if leicester are relegated tonight and then reprieved tomorrow um but but but let's see

I think the speculation, and this is purely speculation, is kind of two or maybe three, or three with one suspended, so therefore being two.

I don't think it's going to make a big difference.

They're playing incredibly well under James Morrison.

I think...

There's probably an element here where the EFL just, you know, what they don't want to happen is for any relegated teams to feel harshly done by about, you know, when it's been implemented, especially given that Leicester have had a points deduction implemented this season.

So I'd be really surprised if we don't get a resolution in some way sooner rather than later.
