i am playing devil's advocate here as i don't think ranieri is a disaster but i would love to have someone with a little more ambition, a little more flexibility and the balls to try something adventurous
the problem,as always, is finding someone the board will back with cold-hard-cash
Its not so much his doing but the desire to achieve great results & prove the doubters wrong.Had the old guard not performed week in week out Ranieri would be severly screwed.Nobody expected Del Piero to be in such sintalating form(except the die hard fans ala Rab,Hoori & Cigdem

) but the players have defintely exceeded expectations & i think thats why the board didnt invest in quality players last season.Take the old guard out of the equation & Ranieri is as clueless as Maher trying to write a match report on his own.
Yes we defintely need a coach with more ambition & flexibility but someone that can work for the furture as well.Ranieri plays like its gonna be his last season,cant incorporate youngsters into the team.Everybody knows Ranieri's preferred formation is the 4-4-2 & unfortunately for him there are tactitians that know how to handle it.
I think if we had to sign Wenger the board would most defintely back him as his signings are quite shrewd & he does tend to go for quality youngsters.
What stature btw? They even don't consider us rich enough to offer Bremen for Diego
Seriously we had/have to rebuild our team in order to regain our stature which drastically devastated after calciopoli but unfortunately the board was/is too inept to do this.
Youve got jokes huh?

Look what the board did to bring this team up was exceptional & i doubt any other team would have been able to mirror the same leap back up to Serie A.My main irritation points with their decisions were selling mutu for a schmuck like bojinov & selling ibra for peanuts to a direct rival.In all honesty i think they could have loaned ibra & mutu for a season or two with an option to buy had Serie A qualification not been achieved.
