"Doing a December double over Derby may have offered Leicester fans some festive cheer but it is unlikely to brook the longstanding resentment against a board whose treatment of staff over Christmas has only exacerbated ill will at the King Power Stadium. First-half goals from Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jordan James sandwiched Rhian Brewster's equaliser to earn manager Marti Cifuentes some respite after successive defeats."
"Scrooge would have struggled to make a worse job of managing staff morale at Christmas than Leicester. Non-player wages were due to be paid on 19 December before an email on the 18th from interim managing director Kamonthip Netthanomsak regrettably' informed staff they were being deferred until new year's eve. The atmosphere at the Christmas party was said to be foul."
Leicester earned a win over Derby with first-half goals from Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jordan James, with Rhian Brewster briefly equalising. The victory gave manager Marti Cifuentes respite after successive defeats and moved Leicester four points off the playoff zone ahead of an away trip to Sheffield United. Home supporters chanted for the board and for technical director Jon Rudkin to go, reflecting deep resentment after non-player wages due on 19 December were deferred by an 18 December email until New Year's Eve. The Christmas party atmosphere was reported as foul, and chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has been absent from recent games.
