Disgraceful after what he achieved.
Indeed. I had hoped they'd stay up, hope they go down now.
Can't say I am surprised. He will always go down as a Leicester legend
^^^this^^^
Unfortunately as we all know it's all about money and his team look awful at the moment.
The owners are obviously hoping that perhaps a new person can come in and get something extra from them and alter their course.
To be fair even their 2-1 loss in the CL last night flattered them.
CR will be alright, nice pay off, a few months holiday break before another top club comes in for him.
A day after a decent performance, and vital away goal, in Sevilla in the CL last 16.
Sevilla being the reigning Europa League champions and 3 points behind Real Madrid in the race for La Liga title.
I loved watching them last season - but this year it has been frustrating to watch a team under-perform as Leicester have. Ranieri's signings have not worked out and the whole team has been under-par. Reluctantly, because I think he's one of the good guys in football, it is probably a good footballing decision to change the manager in view of recent results.
It's all the more surprising following what was a great result for them last night. He deserved the opportunity to see out the season.
Is he the first Premier League winning Manager to be sacked the following season?
Suppose Warnock wins us promotion. He then wins the Premier League with us against all the odds. The following season sees us start averagely but get worse to the point where we are looking like relegation fodder. Warnock makes strange decisions which affect team morale, dragging us further into the mire where there appears to be only two choices: 1) Show loyalty in the knowledge that we'd almost certainly go down, or 2) Decide that a change is desperately needed to avoid relegation.
I reckon most City fans in such a scenario would ultimately choose 2. There's a certainty that some of those saying we should be loyal would change their minds the moment we went down.
I wouldn't have Ranieri down here. He's been a bit of a journeyman, and I think rode a wave that Pearson created. They showed title winning form before he was appointed at the end of the previous season.
He's obviously done an amazing job, but maybe another manager might've done the same with those players. He certainly seemed as surprised as everyone else in his interviews.
I don't see why there's an uproar to be honest, aren't football fans used to this kind of thing already..
