Dickov added on the reasons for Leicester’s demise, with the 53-year-old Scot allowing emotion to spill out: “I’d love to see them getting that back as quickly as possible. I know the board are getting a bit of stick and people within the board and the owners, but the players have got to stand up and be counted.
“To look at that squad that they’ve got, the players that they’ve got, the experience they’ve got, to be one of the favourites to get promoted again and then to be relegated with a couple of games to go is shambolic really.
“It’s quite easy for players, players are very good at blaming everybody else. I was one of them myself and we’re very good at saying it’s everybody else’s fault. Sometimes when you’re in that position, you have to take a good look at yourself. There are too many of them that have thrown the club under the bus in my opinion.
“It’s something I feel quite strongly about. I’m not usually like that, but to see a wonderful club with the fan base that they’ve got in that position, with the players that they’ve got, isn’t quite right.”
