“Leicester City Chairman Top Drops JAW-DROPPING Plans for ‘Game-Changing’ Next Steps – You’ll Be STUNNED by His New Role!”

Leicester City are set to take “important next steps” in their ongoing search for a new chief executive.

Club chairman Aiyawatt ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha has temporarily assumed the role following the departure of long-serving CEO Susan Whelan earlier this month.

Whelan’s 14-year tenure played a significant part in shaping the club’s modern era, and her exit opens the door for what could be a new chapter — particularly if the next appointment comes from outside Leicester or parent company King Power.

In his first programme notes since stepping in as acting chief executive, Top expressed enthusiasm for his closer involvement with the club’s daily operations.

“I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to get closer to the operation across the club in recent weeks, to recognise what’s working well and where we can be stronger,” he said.

“Together with the leadership team, we’ve been focusing on maintaining stability while preparing to take some important next steps in how we move forward, which I look forward to sharing with you.

Our ambitions, and our long-term commitment to pursuing them, remain as strong as ever.”

Notably, there was no reference to Whelan in Top’s message or elsewhere in the matchday programme.

Whelan herself has yet to comment publicly on her departure, though tributes have poured in from Leicester figures including Jamie Vardy, Wes Morgan, and former manager Nigel Pearson.

Among Top’s first major responsibilities as interim CEO was resolving the issue surrounding the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor.

Leicester have now confirmed crypto casino BC Game as their official shirt sponsor, with the logo appearing on players’ shirts for the first time last Saturday.

The club had agreed a two-year partnership worth over £31 million with the company last summer.

However, the deal was thrown into uncertainty late last year when BC Game was declared bankrupt by a court in Curacao, where its gambling licence was registered. The company no longer appears to operate in the UK.

Next season, a Premier League-wide ban on gambling companies appearing on the fronts of shirts will come into effect, meaning Leicester’s partnership with BC Game may prove short-lived.
