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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Rc2702 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 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.
