Everton Fans Deliver Savage Warning to Leicester City as Relegation is Confirmed
Liverpool, April 23, 2026 — In a moment dripping with Premier League rivalry and old grudges, Everton supporters have fired a brutal taunt at Leicester City just hours after the Foxes’ relegation to the Sky Bet Championship was mathematically sealed.
The Toffees’ fan account “The Toffee Blues” posted a pointed message on X (formerly Twitter):
If you come for the King make sure you don’t miss
The post was accompanied by a screenshot of an old November 2023 tweet in which Everton was targeted by Burnley, Leeds United, Leicester City, and Southampton, who were reportedly planning legal action against the club over alleged financial breaches.
The message appears to be a direct clapback, suggesting that Leicester and the other clubs “came for the King” (Everton) but ultimately failed — with three of those four clubs now having suffered relegation themselves.
Just minutes later, Leicester City’s official account confirmed the painful reality with the message:
“Tonight’s result confirms our relegation to Sky Bet League One.”
The post included a sombre image of the King Power Stadium, underscoring the grim end to Leicester’s latest top-flight campaign.
Background
The 2023 legal threat from the four clubs stemmed from Everton’s points deductions for breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Everton were initially deducted 10 points in November 2023 (later reduced on appeal), with further sanctions following. While Everton managed to stay in the Premier League through resilience and strong performances, several of their critics have since fallen through the trapdoor.
Fans on social media have been quick to react, with many praising Everton’s “never-say-die” attitude and the poetic justice of the situation.
One viral comment read: “They came for the King… now three of them are watching the Championship from the stands.”
Everton currently sit comfortably mid-table in the 2025/26 Premier League season, while Leicester’s fate was sealed following a disappointing run of results.
