"It was really interesting to talk to Conor Coady recently to get his thoughts on why Leicester have struggled so badly this season. In particular, we spoke in the context of Coady having previously captained a promoted team - Wolves - to a European qualification.
"He had some strong views on the gulf between the Championship and Premier League, arguing that it can be bridged if clubs like Leicester were to make better decisions."
