Leicester today made a double change at the top with Martin George replacing John Elsom as chairman on the day that Micky Adams was confirmed as the new manager of the Foxes.
George is returning as chairman for a second spell and he was at the helm when Martin O'Neill was made manager in 1995.
Now he has opted to return with Elsom standing aside after City endured a disastrous season that has left them doomed to relegation from the Premiership.
He will form a new partnership with Adams who has taken over from Dave Bassett to become City's third manager of the current campaign.
Adams came to Filbert Street as Bassett's number two in October on the understanding he would take charge of team affairs. That has now happened sooner than expected with Bassett moving into a director of football role.
