Van Nistelrooy seeks clarity after Leicester relegation

- Published
Leicester's inevitable relegation is finally confirmed and now the club can seek clarity.
Sunday's defeat by Liverpool confirmed the drop but it had been coming for a long time. After 16 defeats in the past 18 games, it may even come as a relief.
It allows the Foxes to move forward and decisions have to be made over Ruud van Nistelrooy's future, with his appointment in November failing to stop the club's slide towards the Championship.
The Dutchman said there was no date set for talks with the club's hierarchy over his future but knows time is of the essence.
"The club has to use this time, otherwise you will waste it," he said. "In a situation like this, you have to sit very carefully with the club to discuss the matters.
"I'm focused and taking my responsibility to do the best things for things for the football club, the future and next season.
"Performances like Brighton and the Liverpool game are signs the players are willing to do that and finish the season the best way possible the new season will start and continue.
"We have to take responsibility and that's what I'm doing for the next five weeks and after that we have to see."
