Reactions to relegation (06/04/02)


No-one was particularly surpised by relegation today, so maybe that's why people have been able to stomach it a little more easily than expected. We're all looking forward to success next season, are excited about a new era under Micky and with the youngsters looking good and so the fans went down singing today.

Bassett said after the game on the official site:

"It was a tremendous show of support which augers well for the future of the club.

"It shows that they are through-and-through Leicester City fans and it is on days like this that you feel for the supporters."

Matty Elliott speaking on Sky immediately after the final whistle also praised the fans for their support not just for today but for all season.

Matty Piper again shone and grabbed the attention of all the Sky pundits today. He would have been man of the match if they didn't have to feel obliged to give it to the winning team. He spoke to the official site about the disappointment of actually being relegated but added,

"The fans were brilliant and I think they know that if we'd played like this all season we'd have stayed up. But if we produce performances like that next year I'm certain to be straight back up.

"The future is very bright for the club and I definitely want to be a part of it. Its always been my dream to play United and I want to play them again. I want to be straight back with the top teams the season after next.

"There are a lot of youngsters who will be hungry to do well next year to return to the Premiership. That's good for Leicester and good for our future."

Robbie Savage gets quote of the week though for saying at least if we're to go down we can take Derby with us! Nice one, Sav.
