Ranieri sacked as Leicester City manager

Personally, I couldn't force myself to create a poll which has "I want Liverpool to win" as an option!
:lol:

Well even if Im the only United fan on Redcafe, for once in my life: 'I want Liverpool to win'!
 
I don't want Liverpool to win. But this game comes with the comfort of even if Liverpool win, there'll be an element of schadenfreude
 
If only you knew the way he treated the players and the greek staff...
and his physio whom he brought in Greece was worse than the greek guy...

Isn't this just conjecture on your part from his failure with the Greece NT?

I mean, calling his Chelsea stunt a failure doesn't speak well of your objectivity. He finished 2nd and assembled a team that a big part of became mainstay under Jose and won them titles for years later.
 
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.

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?

Man, some of the stuff person can read in this place.

You must be absolutely pissed out of your mind to even think this to be honest.
 
This yasbestos fella and his posts. Jesus.
 
Why don't you enlighten me.

It just happens I know somebody from the staff who has worked for the greek national team for several years in different periods. Ranieri was on his own world. Completely disrespectful and unprofessional.
 
feck me we have some seriously connected ITK's in here today.
Ehm... how can I say it. This person I am talking about was in the plane with the players and the coach. He had a very serious role. I really am not talking fir a ticket holder or anything, but Ranieri's co-worker.
 
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.

Our point is Leicester suddenly belonged to the global village as a very special and welcome phenomenon until two days ago, now they are back to their local dimension and brand is dead. Locals are happy, everyone else just does not care anymore. Is this sound business in the long run?

How would the brand be in the championship?

So many stories to write... the incommensurable grace, the thunderous fall, the mighty return, a new shot to grace after the ruin... all being a darling of the sport worldwide. Don't you think it would have lasted three years more of daily coverage at the very least? Now you are simply back at being a small club from a national league in a sport named football, no fairytale anymore, just sh*t week in week out and some distant awkward memories.
 
Oh shut up you pillock club gets relegated all the media interest abroad goes, if you are talking branding then being in the Premier League is a must
 
Lets be honest, the world gives precisely zero fecks about Leicester. There is no global brand. There is just a story. A classic underdog tale. Getting relegated would only add to romanticism. But once interest in the story has passed, Leicester will become nothing more than an erroneous footnote in history; and a source of bafflement as to how it ever happened. Sacking Ranieri certainly drains the romanticism from the whole affair.

Wherever they go now, something is pretty poisonous at the club. Whether it's the staff or the players.
 
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?.

:lol:
 
I once saw Frankie Howerd on a beach.
 
Christ this is quite a hotbed tonight. Maybe we can start a new world order with all these connections?

Seriously though, I can understand the sacking at this stage. The manager has to control his players, if it was a revolt he should have seen it coming and ended it. He gave too much faith in them and it backfired.

Ranieri will always have the fans on his side, what he achieved was fantastic, but in the here and now Leicester are in freefall - it's a proper dogfight in the relegation zone. Everyone needs to be pulling the same direction or they WILL be relegated. Hence, the only logical decision was to let him go.
 
My dads mates mums sisters husbands cousins brothers Italian uncle is Ranieri himself, and said he's been given the sack because he wanted to sign Griezmann but they want Neymar so he called them a bunch of gabagool cnuts.
 
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.
They're getting enough stick as it is, you want them to add to that being the first club to publicly trash a manager after sacking him?

Seriously, I couldnt care less about Leicester. What matters is what benefits us, and that would be Liverpool losing.
Why is that even up for discussion ? It was a bs decision by them but that is their problem, not ours.
I find odd that some people actually want Liverpool to win.

I actually dont rate Ranieri that highly but the guy did more than enough to atleast manage the team till the end of this season and see where that leads. I doubt they can get anyone better anyway

How do you know that they won't get relegated under a new manager?

The weird thing is that last season, everybody was talking about Vardy and Mahrez. If they leave, then LCFC will fall apart. But nobody picked up on the work which Kante does.
Last season, Kante was in the title winning side, while Chelsea finished in mid table.
This season, Kante moved to Chelsea, who are now top of the league. Meanwhile his old team are in a relegation battle.


I agree. A logical and reasonable post; the new manager bounce is deceptive and is not always successful - http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2015/01/06/epl-midseason-manager-changes-premier-league Kante had a major influence on the team and his leaving the club may have had repercussions that went under the radar.



Personally I hope they stay in the premiership; however I for one have lost a lot of respect for the players and the Leicester board of management. The present predicament is not all down to Ranieri… Unfortunately, despite my wanting them to remain in the premiership; I have a feeling Leicester have blown a great hole in their chance for premiership survival.

Of course I agree there are pros and cons to the sacking of Ranieri and that the forum is divided, but I cannot help but think - Ranieri is a casualty of over achieving last year; in what many agree was a sensational yet surprising accomplishment in the history of top tier English league football.

In your opinion, is the plight of Leicester down to the players not wanting to play for Ranieri or poor tactics/team management? Do you expect his sacking to be enough to lift the club or will it depend on the abilities of whoever is replacing him?
