The statistics tell a damning story of Ruud Van Nistelrooy's reign as Leicester City manager and they got worse after a limp Premier League loss to West Ham United on Thursday.

If there is a resignation that Leicester’s Premier League place is no longer salvageable then decisions must be made now

Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy says his side were "too passive" in their 2-0 defeat at West Ham United.

West Ham eased past Premier League strugglers Leicester City 2-0 at the London Stadium on Thursday thanks to an early strike from Tomas Soucek on his 30th birthday and an own goal just before halftime.

But Ruud van Nistelrooy may be about to discover that a quickie divorce can be on the cards if those errors keep occurring. Leicester City appointed the former interim Manchester United manager as the replacement for Steve Cooper on December 1 and they celebrated by beating West Ham 3-1 at the King Power Stadium before drawing 2-2 with visiting Brighton.
