Leicester boss Rodgers accepts fans' 'sack' chants

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says he respects the opinions of the club's fans after some chanted for his sacking in a defeat by Southampton.

The Foxes lost 1-0 to Saints on Saturday and are just two points above the Premier League relegation zone.

It was also a seventh defeat in 10 top-flight games for Leicester.

"It has been very up and down for us this season, for the supporters it has been a challenge from the very first game," said Rodgers.

"Listen, I respect the opinions and that's what the game is about.

"I never take any support from the board for granted, I just do my best with what I have."
