JDog Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Who would be a football manager? Last season Ranieri took a below average team to the Premiership title, one of the truly great team shocks in the history of sport. This season they have not done too well (apart from having a great chance to get to the quarter finals of the top European club competition) and now he has been sacked. An ignominious end for a decent man. I blame player power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Sad end to something we might never see again regarding an unfancied club winning the EPL. Agree with player power and it seems like he had lost the dressing room and you know what they are like when the dummy gets spat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 The players should hang their heads in shame. Big on ego, short on guts. Ranieri is better than the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Last season he instilled pride & belief in the team. This year they had no pride & didn't believe in him........ the ego's of players will see how thier ego's go if they get relegated when they look for the £££££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Since it's inception the club I support has yet to sack a manager. Previous ones have left of their own accord if the job was beyond them. Once a club sells out to Sky and overseas investors it's just a business with scant regard for morals or loyalty Vardy must be gutted he didn't go to Arsenal last summer, his value must have halved at least.

Cranfield Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think it is a scandal and agree its the result of "player power". He took average players (apart from about 3 of them) last season and got them playing above their ability level. At the end of the season they lost one of the best 3 players and gave too large new contracts to a few of the others, who now think they are better than they are and don't have to try anymore. Lets see who bother coming in for Vardy (reputed to be the main agitator) at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandringstar Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I cant cry for multi millionaires, sorry, maybe that's callous, its not the sack as we know it, its a giant sack packed with wedge, its all a game, he will have a break and be signing another contract for another team next season. football and me ended many years ago.

ShootingEgg Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 They sold kante and it went down hill as they did not replace him. A player who owns a game is invaluable, kante was that player last season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 To be fair Kante had a buy out clause in his contract though. Leicester couldn't stop him going. They bought Mendy who is a similar type player, but he came injured and has never really performed. There are no managers still in place who have won the PL since 2012. That shows how bad the game has got and there was one telling comment today in that you never see a director or player sacked mid-season when things aren't going right. It is always the manager. A pox on Leicester City's owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Reports in Leicester say claudio has donated half his 3 million payoff for being sacked to Leicester city's foxes foundation, If true then fair play to him.. As a manager he is a dying breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think he picked up three million quid as part of his exit deal. He has been treated appallingly though. It's that bad I hope Liverpool give Leicester a really good stuffing tonight. Most soccer fans want to see the foxes relegated. They haven't won any fans because of the way the treated Claudio. We was a really nice, honest type of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
