Its not a "Thai" thing at all.  These decisions have been rampant throughout football for years.  Whilst many of us, including myself think its the wrong decision we also knew it was on the cards.

 

Decision made even worse for me because Ranieri is a very decent man, a true gentleman of the sport.

indeed. it's got nothing to do with where the owners are from or if they are "foreign" or not.

 

feel sorry for ranieri but on their form it was always coming.

Who's in the hat for the 'rescue' job? Shebby Singh, Kiatisuk, Curbishley, o'leary...

[StevieH]

that irish manager, robert o'mancini, is favourite with the bookies apparently.

Sorry mate but they were going down. Not that they won't anyway, but Leicester aren't Burnley.

 

Got above themselves.

Sure the board have to try something.

 

Alan Pardew should through his hat in the ring, show Fat Sam how to do it ?

Think he only played a handful of games though didn't he? Can't see him going for sentimental reasons but can see him taking it to be back in the prem.

A sad day for Leicester,they could have waited 2 more weeks.  now Sevilla will crush them in the home game.  Ranieri was very important to the team despite the bad run in PL. I can't see them survive now.

And a disastrous one.  They would be better off getting a Pearson like clone in.

Ha ha ha he should know better than to criticise anything "foreign" when Stevie is about.

 

H Rule No. 1:-

 

Criticism of all and any things British is OK, anything else is verboten.

In fairness both he and i were referring to a particular post we suggested it was a foreign issue as opposed to what it really is, which is an issue endemic in football nowadays.

 

On a side issue, what i find so sad is that Ranieri's been chopped but the likes of Mahrez are still there, banking their great big salaries and are not being held accountable for the clubs woes.  Selling the midfield engine and not replacing combined with being totally let down by key players has seen to the managers fate and its all very sad.

I doubt over at Elland rd they would agree with you on that one MB

and his partner Peter Taylor deserves a great deal of credit for Cloughies success don,t forget that....they were a double act until they fell out and Cloughie was never the same after it

I agree with everything you have said. Not a lot of people say that to you do they?  :)  But you are correct nothing to do with foreign. Could be a player revolt, an owner issue or just a football today thing.

 

H worries about me if I don't yank his chain every now and then.

Well the ones that don't agree is fine by me.  If they did i'd have cause for real concern.

Well i reckon they will avoid the drop because i reckon Ranieri was brought down by a player revolt, and certain key protagonists will start playing again as of this weekend.

 

The likes of Mahrez, Vardy for example.  

 

Seem to remember a similar thing happening by Mourinho left Chelsea.

The outpooring of disgust with the way the owners have treated CR has left a very bad taste in the neutral supporters mouths,Leicester City gained tremendous admiration and support for the way they took on the big boys of the Prem in winning the ultimate prize and rightly so, it was great for football.....now just a couple of weeks after giving him "unwavering support" the owners sack him with rumblings of player dissent,where a warm welcome and  generous applause was given at away grounds before this incident I am sure booing and cat calls will now be the order of the day,rightly or wrongly,and Leicester City and its owners will quickly realise that the respect they gained last season is in the distant past,relegation for them would be justice well served.

The booing and cat calls will start because fans will realize the part played by certain elements of the squad.  The lack of fight this season is a polar opposite to that shown last season.

Jesus, a rarity, a sensible post from petermilk at long last.

Fear not, he'll be back to being a typical red gobshite if they win the cup tomorrow. No offence milkylad ?

[Rc2702]

Maybe a blessing in disguise for Tinker.

 

Even if the new lad keeps em up the writings on the wall for a lot of those over achievers. 

 

Ranieri will forever be a legend to Leicester and the door I suspect may remain open in the future. No blame will be pointed to CR. Hangover season big time and a lack of reinforcements.

Jamie Vardy, celebrates giving Leicester City the lead against Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.

Someone do me a favour and check when/what channel is an evening/weekend rerun of the Leicester vs Liverpool game on Truevisions. Cheers.
