Yahoo News Graham Potter to Leicester City stance as 'issues to sort out'
Leicester City have been told to go all out for Graham Potter.
The Foxes are still looking to appoint a successor to Enzo Maresca, who left the King Power Stadium after only one season to take charge of Chelsea. Potter is a leading contender to be the club’s new manager ahead of their return to the Premier League, with City’s hierarchy having been fans of him for some time.
Potter is also the bookies’ favourite ahead of the likes of West Brom manager Carlos Corberan and former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper. Former Foxes player Danny Simpson thinks Potter is the man for the job, having previously done well at Brighton, and has urged his former club to act quickly with the new season fast approaching.

“I think Graham Potter would be good,” Simpson told SportsBoom.com . “He’s been quiet for a while now and, from what I understand, he was someone who the club spoke to about the job a while ago.
“It didn’t happen then, but maybe now would be a good time. There’s still a few issues to sort out with some senior players, but whatever happens it needs to be done quick.
“The club still have a core of players who know how to play in the Premier League, but they need to get a new manager in because, before you know it, it’s pre-season again and decisions need to be made.”
