Kevin Phillips has supported Leicester’s backing of manager Claudio Ranieri but admits the owners have shown they are capable of being ruthless.
The former striker, who finished his playing career at Leicester and is now a coach at Derby County, spoke to talkSPORT ahead of the Foxes' FA Cup replay against the Rams on Wednesday night.
Ranieri played down fears that last season’s champions were in the midst of a crisis but all eyes will be on Leicester as they battle to turn their calamitous current form around.
