Season summary
edit
In the 1976–77 season, Leicester made a slow start with 6 consecutive draws but after 13 games, the Foxes were fifth in the table and in the UEFA Cup places despite scoring 13 goals. Then on though, throughout the season was ensured by lack of consistency and finished the campaign with 1 win in 10 league matches but despite that poor run, the Foxes finished in 11th place. A week after the season was over, Jimmy Bloomfield resigned as Leicester boss.
