Brendan Rodgers expects Newcastle’s new-found wealth to make Leicester’s life tougher as he tries to restore the competitive edge that helped his players make history last season.
Rodgers was one of the names on Newcastle’s list to replace Steve Bruce following their £305million Saudi-backed takeover but the Foxes boss said on Friday night he had no plans to leave Leicester.
And as he prepared his faltering side to face Manchester United on Saturday, Rodgers admitted some of his players were struggling to build on May’s FA Cup victory – Leicester’s first in their 137-year existence – and their consecutive fifth-place finishes in the Premier League.
