gently caress Ranieri, the oval office's making out he's some sort of martyr.Jason Sextro posted:The rumour is that it was the players who complained to Leicester's board about Ranieri, which lol if true Lashing out is a common withdrawal symptom.

He's not loving dead he was leading the champions of England to relegation of course he got sacked. There was a better way about this and personally I thought he should have walked before Christmas with his head held high (and taken the England job) but this is all getting stupid.

Blue Star Error posted:Alternatively he lead a relegation bound team to the title Well yes he did and like I said I don't think he deserved to be let go in this manner... but do you really think the goal pre-season was to try and avoid relegation? He completely failed to build on anything he achieved last season, and he's arguably left the club in a worse position than they were when he arrived (how many of Leicester's big player are going to stay if they go down? How much money have they drained out of the club?). Someone on the BBC has pointed out the same thing happened to Mourinho last season and absolutely nobody batted an eyelid because they don't like Mou. Ranieri is seen as some sort of darling of the Premier League and so everyone appears to be overlooking how terrible a job he's done this season.

If Sunderland went on a 13 game winning streak and snuck into 4th, would Moyes deserve the sack if they were fighting relegation next season? Fighting relegation is Leicester's level, last season was the aberration not this one.

Players dropping a level after a title isn't totally unexpected, but that team was utter crap to begin with.

they might be able to get a better manager, but that's the sort of thing you'd expect a smooth transition in place for. Not reactively sacking a guy because his players were found out to be not good enough and he didn't replace an entire team of accidental league-winners.

Blue Star Error posted:Fighting relegation is Leicester's level And he was doing a poor job about it. It's sad to see Ranieri go, he's a likeable man and last season was fantastic. It's not the end anyone wanted for him, but football isn't a fairy tail. Saying he should stay because of last season is like saying Rooney should be the first name on the United teamsheet because he was great in the past.

Don't forget the desire of football journalists to make themselves look the best. Leicester seemed heading for the drop with Rainieri. Considering the finances involved in it taking a chance on a new manager is probably worth it for them. Leicester doesn't have the squad and resources we do but Jose had us heading for the bottom last year too.

It's funny how people treat you more humanely when you don't demean and belittle other people including the officials and your fellow managers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why people were so merciless when Mourinho was sacked as opposed to Ranieri.

Some people have definitely been a bit hysterical about it. Lineker said they shouldn't sack him even if he got relegated four times in a row and that he literally cried when he heard they had.

That was UEFA doctoring live footage - Mourinho is a victim of a UEFA conspiracy to undermine him by any means necessary, clearly Ranieri unfortunately was the victim of his own success - people expected more from his team of cloggers than they were ultimately capable of giving, looks like Kante was the only elite player on that team

Fighting relegation is Leicester's level, last season was the aberration not this one. This would normally be true but they spent a poo poo load on players who wouldn't normally go to them because they were in the champions league and had just won the league

hmmm yeah I agree the only thing that matters in modern football is current form, imo Manchester United should have sacked Sir Alex Ferguson if they were ever 17th halfway through a season

The most offensive thing about all of this is Lester's lovely championship level players believing their own hype and demanding that the man who led them to actually achieve something he sacked. After that the board's hands were kind of tied.

The man was getting poo poo results and performances and the players didn't believe in his methods after the drugs stopped working so he had to go. Hopefully they've left it too late and go down.
