Foxes boss set to rebuild; Warnock determined to put things right
Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson admits he will need to spend the summer attempting to find the right formula to help the club reach the Premier League.
He watched his side secure a final day triumph at Leeds as teenage debutant Harry Panayiotou scored a last-second winner in a 2-1 win at Elland Road.
Pearson, a mid-season appointment after Sven-Goran Eriksson failed to turn a lavish pre-season spending spree into a promotion challenge, will be well aware of the hard work ahead this summer.
"We finished with a win and that's the best you can say," he said.
"We finished with a three-point game but I didn't think it was a good game. I think there were a lot of poor decisions throughout that irritated both benches.
"The season has finished now and we are looking forward to getting a rebuild."
Determination
Meanwhile, Leeds boss Neil Warnock is aware of where they have gone wrong, though, and is determined to put it right over the summer.
"I think the record is justified, it shows how low we've come," said the veteran coach, who replaced Simon Grayson in February.
"Instead of being a fortress, it's been a weakness. It won't happen again. This is the lowest ebb for Leeds to lose that many games.
"We couldn't have tried anymore, but that's how it goes."
Warnock is to announce his retained list on Wednesday, with the number of departures expected to dwarf those staying.
Names such as Portsmouth's Jason Pearce and the controversial El-Hadji Diouf are waiting in the wings to arrive in West Yorkshire.
"We're having a drastic change to the squad. We need to get ready and get amongst them," he added of his work ahead.
"I don't have the time to blend them in. We need to be ready to go."
