Season summary A superb start to the season saw Leicester City begin October on top of the league just four months after the appointment of Peter Taylor as Martin O'Neill's successor - they had not occupied top place since 1963. Two weeks later, they surrendered their lead to Manchester United but were still in the top four by Christmas. By the midway point of the league season, the Foxes were third in the table with 35 points. However, their impressive league form soon wore off, and they would only collect another 13 points in the second half of the season. Notably, an upset to Division Two underdogs Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup quarter-final midway through March had a negative effect on the Foxes, who endured 9 defeats and attained one win from their final 10 games, collecting only 3 points from a possible 30 and losing 8 consecutive league games. This slump dragged them down to 13th place - their lowest finish since winning promotion to the FA Premier League back in 1996. Several high-profile end-of-season signings - including that of Chelsea legend Dennis Wise - gave fans hope that Leicester could regain their form and rejoin the challenge for honours in 2001–02.Wise seals Leicester switch https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/1370717.stm BBC Sport 25 June 2001 2 August 2015 November saw the announcement of plans to relocate to a new 32,000-seat stadium at a site adjacent to Filbert Street, with a targeted completion for the start of the 2003–04 season.Foxes detail stadium plans https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/leicester_city/1044907.stm BBC Sport 28 November 2000 2 August 2015 Later in the season, it was announced that Leicester would only have to spend one more season at Filbert Street before they could move into their new home.Leicester's stadium start date https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/leicester_city/1382704.stm BBC Sport 11 June 2001 2 August 2015 right England Flowers England Rowett Scotland Elliott Northern Ireland Taggart England Guppy Turkey Izzet Wales Savage Northern Ireland Lennon England Impey England Eadie Nigeria Akinbiyi 2000-01 Leicester City team Final league table 2000–01 FA Premier League LEI Results summary 10 4 5 28 23 4 2 13 11 28 2000-01 FA Premier League table December 2014 Results by round table b Round Ground H/A/A/H/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/A/H/A/H/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/H/A/A/A/H/H/A/H/A/H/A Result D/W/D/W/W/W/D/D/L/L/W/W/D/W/L/W/L/W/W/L/L/L/D/L/W/L/W/W/L/L/L/L/L/L/L/L/W/L Position 11/4/6/3/2/2/2/1/3/5/3/3/3/3/4/3/4/4/3/4/6/6/7/8/6/7/7/4/7/9/9/10/11/11/12/13/10/13 Home Away green2 Win yellow2 Draw red2 Loss 1st 2nd 3rd red1 11v11.com: 2000-01 Leicester City results December 2014 Results Leicester City's score comes firsthttp://www.statto.com/football/teams/leicester-city/2000-2001/results Leicester City 2000-2001 Results - statto.com 28 November 2012 25 March 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130325074017/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/leicester-city/2000-2001/results live Legend WinDrawLoss Pre-season 2000 7 28 y Finn Harps 0–1 Leicester City Eadie ?
