🎧 'It's such strange timing' - Piper on Cooper's sacking

Former Leicester City winger Matt Piper thinks it's a "strange" situation at the Foxes, with the timing of Steve Cooper's sacking and hopes the club resolves it soon.

Speaking on the latest BBC Radio Leicester When You're Smiling podcast, Piper said: "What I'm most shocked about is the really strange timing. The more I think of it, it's such strange timing, you get beat by Man Utd (3-0) and it's the worst performance of the season by a country mile - we just didn't turn up.

"Then you've got a two week international break, you leave the manager in, you get beat by Chelsea and then you sack him.

"It's strange timing - I can understand that timeline if they think 'right we've got to move Steve on' but they've spoken to someone else and they're ready to go - then it makes sense.

"But, the club have come out and said that's not the case. We did this before and it bit us on the backside.

"I hope they've not gone down that line again, because the last time we did that it didn't work out well at all."
