Leicester boss Claude Puel is fed up of the speculation surrounding his job.
The Frenchman’s first full season in charge at the King Power Stadium has been against a back drop of fan frustration and, according to some reports, dressing room unrest.
His position has felt under constant scrutiny amid the sense that his tenure could come to an end at any moment.
Puel polarises opinion among a divided fanbase, with ‘Puel In’ or ‘Puel Out’ hashtags on social media after almost every game.
This is despite Leicester currently being seventh in the Premier League table, which is arguably as high as they could expect to be given the size and spending power of the clubs above them.
That irks Puel, who said:
“All the time there is speculation about difficulty around this club. I can speak a lot about this.
“To finish seventh during the first half of the season with all the problems we’ve had, it’s a very good performance. If people think our place is sixth, or higher, this is not the truth, it’s not possible.
“If seventh or eighth is bad then this is crazy.”
