Only time will tell if the sack was legitimate or not. Every statement now is pure emotion towards Ranieri
apparently the senior players lost their faith in him and even went as far as stabbing him by complaining to the board after the man utd game

Leicester are retarded, he deserved to see out the season. The team isn't great, they are still on their feet in the CL.
emotions aside, did the club really have much of a choice? the money involved and in fairness to the board they gave him a lot more time than what most clubs would give. They may have taken a leaf out of swansea and Hull's book having changed their managers recently and getting positive results and I'm not saying this works every time but it was hard to see ranieri really keeping the side up and if it's true he lost the dressing room then all the more reason he had to go

tancredi doesn't deserve anything less than cancer, that cunting piece of shit. It wasn't long ago that this cunt wanted ranieri gone from Inda.

Leicester made too many mistakes in wanting to give last year's team a shot in the CL. They should have changed their backline instead of buying some okayish forwards, none of whom have fired this season. Now they are too close to relegation. And the bigger problem was that Ranieri was not acknowledging all the problems they have right now. He sounds increasingly delusional after every defeat, brushing it off like there's nothing wrong and everything would be fine soon. Ideally for me, Leicester should have sacked Ranieri in December but I guess they wanted to give Ranieri a shot at the CL, which is why he stayed on till the 1st leg.

And to think how after last season, Ranieri was hyped here as one footballing God! :rofl:
I called it back then, it's no stroke of genius to win a title when every single one of your competitors are incompetent fvcks. And I especially said to our in-house experd, zach, felating Ranieri nonstop, that his track record shows he can't handle big egos in the locker-room. Surprise, surprise!

It's definitely not simple as that. They are simply back to normal, the form from 2 years ago. Of course Ranieri has made wrong decisions, but if you have watched Leicester's game this season, you also know some of the players egos have over inflated after winning the title.

What big ego's exactly ? They sold the good and kept the sheite



Ranieri worked with amazing players, and this is probably one of the least talented teams in his career.

Its their fault if they are idiots

Too much money at stake, they succumbed to the pressure of doing something, anything to turn the tide, it's difficult to keep your cool and stay patient when 100s of millions are at stake.
This. They've been playing like utter shit for a while. Worst form among the relegation battlers. The club would have been stupid not to attempt something to try and keep them in the league.
They should have bought at least one CB in the summer or even in January. They have two old men who played out of their skin last season and the backup is a 36 year old. Morgan and Huth have been absolutely horrible this season.

Well, last season was definitely a once in a lifetime chance that every top team was fumbling left and right. Chelsea was in shambles, Man U continued their crappy trend of the past seasons, Arsenal were their usual self choking right when it matters. Just like Liverpool. The only real competition was Tottenham. It was like all the stars have lined up for a half decent team to take the lead and make a run for it. I wouldn't call a coach taking advantage of such a situation a genius. A competent coach? Sure.
And now that it's business as usual with the top teams, we saw what Ranieri is really capable of.
And that last part of your comment is exactly my beef with Ranieri. He's a pvssy when it comes to man-management. He's shown it all through his career. And that alone, makes him a mediocre coach.

He did manage Valencia iirc

Yeah and he was a successful as well as a popular man there. He also did a great job at Monaco but they didnt renew.He should stay out of England and Italy.

His 65, so may see this as the end of his career but if it is then what a sad way to go. It would be a similar ending to Van Gaal, these EPL clubs are vile.

Hopefully they still go down. Mancini would be an excellent appointment for achieving that.

A few of their players have definitely rested on their laurels from last season, but I suppose that was always going to happen. They could never live up to that again. Maybe they should have fucked off the likes of Mahrez and Vardy and got hungrier players in.

Ok, you are right about that.
