Leicester City 2004–05 football season
During the 2004–05 English football season, Leicester City F.C. competed in the Football League Championship .
Season summary [ edit ] Leicester City were hoping to make an immediate return to the FA Premier League following relegation the previous season, but got off to a poor to indifferent start to the season, seeing them drawing too many games and prompting Micky Adams to resign in October despite claims by the club that they wanted him to continue.[1] He was replaced by Hearts ' Craig Levein ,[2] but he couldn't inspire Leicester to improve and the club finished the season in a disappointing 15th place.
Leicester retained the previous season's kit, manufactured by French company Le Coq Sportif and sponsored by Narborough -based bank Alliance & Leicester .[3]
