Leicester City Chairman says the team will 'fight to return to the Premier League'

"Today we share the loss and the pain together. But we will be back."

Leicester City Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabh has released a message to Foxes fans saying they will fight to return to the Premier League.

The team have been relegated from the Premier League after finishing 18th on the table.

The Srivaddhanaprabha family took over Leicester City in 2010.

Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabh said: "In our first season back in the top flight, everyone thought we were down, but we showed immense resilience and character to come back and produce one of the best recoveries the Premier League has ever seen. A year later, we’d completed an ascent nobody thought was possible – from relegation favourites to Premier League champions and one of the greatest sporting stories ever told.

"This past season has been the most difficult for all of us to endure, ultimately resulting in relegation from the Premier League. We gave everything to turn it around yesterday and the atmosphere in the stadium after we’d gone in front and looked on course for survival was absolutely incredible. But relegation is a consequence of 38 games and over that period, we haven’t been good enough. Over the coming days and weeks, we need to reflect on the processes and decisions that have brought us to this point. What we learn from this experience must convert into action that makes us stronger and prevents this happening to us again in the future.

"Today we share the loss and the pain together. But we will be back.

"We want to thank you and let you know that we still have the same ambition for Leicester City that we had 13 years ago. The incredible support we had in our stadium yesterday, the positive messages we have received from our fans and the constructive comments we must take on-board – we will gather all this support and use it to power our recovery. Power to justify our fans’ belief in their Club. Power to take us back to the Premier League.

"Next season is going to be tough, but it will be a year for collaboration and unity. We will come together and fight to return to the Premier League.

"Thank you for your support."
