I think this guy is quite positive that he will leave this summer. He seems a little weak to me though.
Euro Success Might Not Save Me - Ranieri
04/05/2004. Chelsea coach Claudio Ranieri has admitted the outcome of tomorrow's Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal may not have any baring on his future.
The Italian, whose attitude has to be admired, insists he is not affected by the speculation and will be able to leave Stamford Bridge with his head held high if he is given the boot.
He told the Sunday Herald: "If I'm not Chelsea boss next August, I'll walk away with my head held high.
"If the club decide to keep me on I have a contract until 2007 I'll be even happier. I have a feeling Tuesday's result won't affect things much.
"I was never under any illusion. When a new owner comes in, he likes to make changes and bring in his own people.
"This is true in football and in business. It's something I accepted, which is why all this speculation does not affect me now.
"I had to lay the foundation of a team which could begin a cycle of success which could last, five, or seven years into the future.
"That's what I'm being judged on. Not something like whether we win silverware, because the difference between success and failure is tiny and it's something for which you can't plan."
