Ranieri sacked as Leicester City manager

Where to start?? This post..... or your posts since ..... or that you haven't backed up your original post and fail to answer other poster's points (a la Kasper Schmeicel).

Your friend's Dad thinks Ranieri supposedly did something? Could it be any more convoluted or vague?

If the sports science staff were so fundamental to Pearson, they could have been sacked/let go ages ago then? They were there when Leicester only just avoided relegation two seasons ago.

Remember, your original post was specific and bold in saying the entire football world had unanimously come to an opinion that you disagreed with.... namely that even if Leicester were getting relegated, they should have stuck with Ranieri.

All you've done is link three Leicester forum posts and a story from your friend's Dad's second cousin's neighbour.

No one is arguing that this season has been poor for Leicester or that Ranieri may have made mistakes but you're adding two and two and making 53 by saying the entire world is only against the sacking because they're sentimental sheep.

Maybe it's because Ranieri hasn't become a bad coach overnight, maybe it's because the owners said they would stick by him, maybe it's because it's clear the players are playing sh!te, maybe it's because he might have kept them up anyway and maybe (MAYBE) for some, it is because they are sentimental.... and that's a bad thing yeah?

For what it's worth, I'd have kept him - Leicester owners appear to have forgotten that their natural position is about 10-18 and last season was a miraculous one-off.

I've had about 10 replies in the last hour or so, who even mentioned Kasper Schmeichel? And yes, my friend's dad thinks something, I'm at university with some reasonably well-connected people and am myself from a reasonably well-connected family, I also have a uni friend whose dad is a Manchester United director and another owns a Bulgarian bank, I've also played racket ball with Roger Federer, tennis with Judy Murray, my dad used to play golf with Hugh Grant, hope that makes me more believable?

When Leicester were nearly relegated they were still a happy and united team, and have you ever thought that Ranieri didn't become a great coach overnight either? My point was that you and the rest of the world don't believe Ranieri should have been sacked simply because on the surface he shouldn't. But the closer to the club you get the more you realise it wasn't a surface problem.
 
basically the gist seems to be we should have waited to lose to Liverpool on Monday before sacking him

according to someone with a decent source Ranieri had sidelined Craig Shakespear and Mike Stowell, key members of the coaching staff, reduced to role of the sports science team, sacked the psychologist that all the players used and were close to, changed the dietary staff and increased the intensity and volume of training against the advice of all the coaching team

Haha, not surprised then with Leicester recent form and I also noted this week before as one of the reason their form suffered. And most members on here will label Ranieri as some god. These staff members played a vital part of their run for their title and fight for relegation. Ranieri seems to get all the credit when things are going well and no credit when things are going bad on here haha.

Could help with living up to the tag line. Jokes aside, if Ranieri was the main problem, then it would be in the best interests of everyone else associated with Leicester to clarify how, given the public sentiment. Of course, this may also spur them on, them against the world type of deal.

I don't confess anything other than surface knowledge. But I've yet to see anything that makes the sacking seem sensible.

that's not what happens here, they still haven't said why Pearson was sacked and they cannot stand him, personally the owners liked Claudio a lot

Did Pearson's sacking need to be explained? Seemed extremely unstable.

the official reason was always "non footballing reasons", Claudio has been sacked for footballing reasons yet there is outrage over that and not someone being sacked for something unrelated to his ability to do the job

Wasn't Hoddle sacked from the England position for non footballing reasons. As well as Sam. Sometime it may require scrutiny, other times it's fairly evident and a bit of a fart in a box.

The sacking calls into question, IMV, how much leeway a manager can through success create for himself, and the answer seems to be very very little.

Was there a reason needed for him to go after all the shit he has done though?

Probably the biggest of it his son throwing all those racial slurs at prostitutes who were licking his and his friends' arseholes in Thailand and all of this shit?

look at the league table, 2 or 3 more wins and this wouldn't even be a conversation but we are now in the bottom 3, were always likely to be by the time we played Liverpool on Monday, relegation is a very real threat

If it's only 2 or 3 more wins and this wouldn't be a conversation then it must be extremely thin margins for sacking material and full confidence. But I get what you're saying, they are in a bad state. For me, that just isn't enough to sack someone who just demoted everything Leicester have ever done to a footnote in their history compared to his achievements.

There is nothing that guarantees a turnaround in fortunes by this sacking either, if we adopt a strict short-term pragmatist perspective.

Fair play to Kasper. Apparantely, I've been hearing stories that he is one of the ring-leaders, but he doesn't seem like the kind. Have any other players come out with to thank Claudio? I've not heard anything from Vardy, Mahrez etc.

I have some relatives who are close friends with Kaspers mom. The way they have spoken about Kasper I'd be very surprised if he had anything to do with CR's sacking. Kasper is very much a family guy who just loves playing football and do not bother so much about all the other stuff going on. He didn't join the party from when they won the Premier league. He stayed home with his family and celebrated with them

I think it's a classic case of manager striking while in a position of strength to gain increased power at a club, forgetting that their success was only partially down to him anyway.
Click to expand...
The things I cannot comprehend are:-

i. Isn't playing the way manager wants and giving 100% on ground is a player's only job?
ii. Why Managers and Club's Hierarchy allows them to cross that line?
iii Was Ranieri wrong for trying to gain more power at Leicester (after winning the title)?
iv. Who draws the line ?

I think its absolutely disgraceful how they let their club into that mess, they should be finishing in top half of the table comfortably.

I still find that story absurdly hilarious! I can't decide which is the most damning part; the racism... the arse-licking... or the being idiotic enough to film it! Haha, poll?

Are you sure it was Ranieri's managerial abilities that helped Leicester City last year and not something else?
I mean, haven't you ever thought of some new enhancing technology, still uknown, therefore still legal?

I do believe Ranieri is a nothing.
And I can't believe how his players were always first to get on the ball last year, challenge after challenge for the whole 90 minutes, week in week fecking out.

The media also built an icon of the good grandpa coach.
On the other hand, in his previous job (greek national team) he was deminishing his players and he brought staff together with him and this staff was really USELESS.
He was acting like a diva in the dressing rooms and nobody liled him.

Or the fact that Pearson thought the board were wrong to sack his son.....

Or that the owners didn't sack him when he went off on one big style to a journalist..... Or when he nearly strangled a player in a match ...... Or when he told a Leicester fan to "f!ck off and die".

Obviously defending an (allegedly) racist deviant kernob of a son was one step too far for the owners?

Most hilarious post of the year?!

Obviously Liverpool losing to Leicester would greatly help our top 4 chances as well as normally provide amusement to Manchester United fans.

But Im finding myself desperately wanting Liverpool to give Leicester a hammering on Monday to precipitate their relegation at the end of the season. During Monday's Liverpool vs Leicester game, Ill be supporting Liverpool!!

Interested to find out what % of United fans feel the same? If you agree, perhaps create a poll?

Ultimately what matters to me is how well United do. Liverpool dropping points increases our chances of making top 4 and finishing above them.

Leicester winning or losing is entirely irrelevant to us. Liverpool losing, however, has a big impact on our standings.

Some my question is, you can't possibly be serious?

I think you're alone. Can't understand why any United fan would want Leicester's failure above United's success, no matter what the circumstances.

Im just utterly disgusted at Leicester City Football Club. The sacking of Ranieri has caused a deeply uncomfortable emotion within me which transcends football.

Maybe its just me!

I'd only ever support/wish for a Liverpool victory if it was beneficial for United.

Personally, I couldn't force myself to create a poll which has "I want Liverpool to win" as an option!
 
@sammsky1
Yes, most of us will want Leicester to fail and their snake players to fade back into mediocrity but if it means seeing Liverpool win we would rather Leicester win the league again. They are our main rivals for a reason, seeing them succeed is truly sickening.

Ranieri is a scum.
There was no miracle last year.
It just happens most people don't know or forget how pityful he was in his previouss jobs (eg Greece, Monaco, Chelsea).
