If they hire a Marco Silva or Clement as opposed to a big Sam they'll stay up. However, it's never easy to make the change at this point in the season.

they can't do worse than they are right now.

Leicester was a team that was on a knife's edge between an EPL champion and a relegation candidate last year. Any small disruption in personnel was bound to return the club to its natural position of relegation candidate. Not really Ranieri's fault. And, he will go down as the only manager to have ever won the EPL for Leicester from now until forever. Build him a statue in front of the stadium.

Sad but at the end of the day, sometimes the club needs a new voice, a new philosophy. Its rare for any team in the world, in any sport to have one coach or manager with the same voice and approach come in with the same ideas over and over and have the team buy into it. At the end of the day having a new voice can be a big motivator for the team.

It has happened to Klopp at BVB and now Ranieri at Leicester.
It happens and so is life.

Klopp left BVB himself. They didn't sack him.

Leicester disrespectfully sacked Ranieri with awful timing.

by BarcaLearning Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:42 am

Football is so full of drama and unbelievable events, who would have thought after last season he wouldnt even last another season before being sacked, just amazing.

Leicester did pull out some performances on occasions this season but in many matches I saw they just were so different to last season and some players just seem completely lost and lost confidence. Just goes to show how difficult it is at this level.

From real high to real lows, I guess we should thank Ranieri for the historic last season though, and good luck in his next job.

Klopp improved his results significantly in the 2nd half of the season or he would've found himself sacked too. Meanwhile Leicester have scored 0 goals in the last 6 PL games (since December) and are 2 points away from 20th.

It's funny to see how more offended other fans are compared to Leicester fans Laughing

Make them turn up like every good manager should.

Motivation is part of the job description, something he's clearly failed to do.

It's very easy to blame the players, but the reality is he has a history of being unable to self-motivate and everything going to shit once his teams go on a bad run.

Every top level manager has to be able to do this, he's never shown he can.

Only in football where the manager basically fails to self motivate his employees and it's not considered a failure on his part.

This is so untrue. See, great manager doesnt necessarily equate to players always will delivering. Especially players of today who are nothing but spoilt brats who will have all the benefits as opposed to a manager. What you are saying was true once ,but not anymore sadly. Even a prick like Jose couldnt get the Chelsea players, (who are miles ahead btw in terms of quality to their Leicester counterparts) to put in at least minimum required shift last season. After a bad start they were just in free fall and none of them seemed to give a bleep and were basically like dying to get Mou sacked.

Ranieri on the other hand first of all is not a cnut ala mou who will throw his players under the bus and people need to understand that. His motivational approach will be different and is kinda father figure more than a strict disciplinarian.
I have heard there are factions within that LC side, like 1 headed by Morgan and that they are pulling the strings from behind. If its actually true then lol never mind Ranieri even Pep or Conte wont be able to do shit with this group of players.

Then you have such piss poor quality players such as Morgan and Simpson who by some miracle performed like Gods last season. They have waned massively since that.

The blame has to be 60% on players for their attitude and effort, 30% on the board for not addressing this issue earlier one way or the other (At this point in time, there might not be another option than to sack him, yea probably. But they shouldnt have allowed this wound to fester this much.) and only 10% on Ranieri for poor buys.

Ungrateful poses should go down and I will cheer every defeat they suffer from hereon. Fckin Morgan and fcking Huth! Mad

Thats because Leicester fans are bleep idiots who somehow think bloody Nigel Pearson was the real reason (for mysteriously laying the foundation or some shit) why their side lifted the title last year. Laughing

The cnuts were blabbering on their poverty forum that their team is so brimming with quality that they would have won the title even if it was Pearson.
Embarrassing bunch, really.

Probably even Ranieri himself agrees with his sacking in a way

Ranieri's statement Sad

Yesterday my dream died.

After the euphoria of last season and being crowned Premier League champions, all I dreamt of was staying with Leicester City, the club I love, for always.

Sadly this was not to be. I wish to thank my wife Rosanna and all my family for their never-ending support during my time at Leicester.

My thanks go to Paolo and Andrea, who accompanied me on this wonderful journey. To Steve Kutner [Ranieri's agent], Robespierre [his GL agent] and Franco Granello [his Italian agent] for bringing me the opportunity to become a champion.

Mostly I have to thank Leicester City Football Club. The adventure was amazing and will live with me forever.

Thank you to all the journalists and the media who came with us and enjoyed reporting on the greatest story in football.

My heartfelt thanks to everybody at the club, all the players, the staff, everybody who was there and was part of what we achieved. But mostly to the supporters. You took me into your hearts from day one and loved me. I love you too.

No-one can ever take away what we together have achieved, and I hope you think about it and smile every day the way I always will.

It was a time of wonderfulness and happiness that I will never forget. It's been a pleasure and an honour to be a champion with all of you.

No idea why he thought Wes Morgan, Danny *bleep* simpson and Robert Huth will continue with their fake form.

Ndidi flopped too. Failed to replace Kante properly.

No idea why you aren't winning EPL titles since you are so good at reading and understanding anything.

Upon further thought this is how I think this will play out.

Next week Leicester will. Be revealed to have committed doping all through last season. They stopped this season after fears of being found out. Ranieri was fired over this upcoming scoop.

Leicester will have their title removed and awarded to Arsenal instead. Lessterpoli will save Wenger's job, ensuring him another 12 year contract.

Lesster will be automatically relegated and not permitted to come up again for 5 years.
