Micky Adams admits he faces a "massive rebuilding job" next season to try and get Leicester back into the Barclaycard Premiership. Manchester City's win over Newcastle sealed the Foxes' fate, despite a 2-2 draw at Charlton. And now the Leicester manager is not sure what squad he will be left with come pre-season training. "I fear for the club in many ways, in terms of trying to get back onto this stage," said Adams. "We won't have the problems we had two years ago of administration, but it is going to take a massive rebuilding job. "I am sure there will be clubs out there looking at my players and thinking that they might want them in their team." Marcus Bent gave Leicester an early lead before Jonathan Fortune equalised at the start of the second half. Nikos Dabizas was then dismissed by referee Rob Styles after what looked minimal contact on Jonatan Johansson just inside the area and Paolo Di Canio dispatched the resulting penalty with 14 minutes left. Les Ferdinand equalised with a well-struck free-kick in stoppage time, but it was not enough to keep Leicester up. "When you are at the bottom things just seem to go against you," reflected Adams. "I have just seen it on the TV and it was not a penalty and did not merit a sending off.''
