WigstonWanderer Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 Good article, but perhaps underplaying Claudio's role last season. He changed the formation from 352 to 442 for example, and Vardy & Mahrez thrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 Good to see some balance as you say. As much as I didnt want Ranieri sacked I could definitely see why he was. All these comments in social media and so called journalists: 'Hope they go down' 'Why sack him after last season?' Etc and not addressing WHY he would have been sacked. Lot of people over the last few days have displayed their total lack of football knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 It's a good article in light of all the other exaggerated and biased reporting against the club and owners. However, I think it underplays Ranieri's role last season. We will forever be grateful and respect him for his achievements and it was mainly his persona and character that helped us become everyone's second favourite team. I will love the man but it was time to move on, for the good of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxholecharlie Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 I think this is the best article I have read regarding this whole sorry episode. I am very sad it ended like this, but in all honesty I don’t know what else the owners could have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxinsocks Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 good article. please be mindful that in most other media organisation they are just interested in filling up column inches... most of their readers are not lcfc fans so they need to find an angle that engages their readers.... claudio back stabbed... money obsessed owners buying 500k of wine.... duplicity... In my experience it is not unusual for big decisions to take some time while reflection and preparations are made.... it would be mad if they had lost at swansea and sacked him at full time. I am wondering if the club ought to put out a statement to explain their conflicting thoughts and dilemma... Did they offer Claudio any other way out or aside,,, even if he didn't want it it would show compassion and self awareness... or may be lie low and wait for the media to move on. They need serious media advice to restore the happy patronizing multicultural lcfc image Yet the first relationship they have to mend is with a large section of the fan base - this should be their priority.

Wortho Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 I don't remember Chelsea getting much criticism when they sacked Di Matteo. And he won the CL!! The media just hate us atm, and they wait for us to be relegated. Also they didn't really want us to win it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Van Gaal was sacked in May 2016, just days after lifting the cup I don't remember a massive press witch hunt after that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes "He fiddled with formations for a while but quickly changed back to what the players were comfortable with and the rest is history." well thats completely wrong isn't it?

Guest bennytwohats Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 A good website for football is football365. The thinking mans football website, most of you lot probably wouldn't like it. anyway, they have a good section taking apart some of the drivel in other websites, see here for them picking apart some of the hysteria about us: http://www.football365.com/news/is-this-the-most-heinous-act-a-manager-can-commit They also have a usually fantastic mailbox, this has some good contributions from Leicester fans and I feel is very balanced. One from yours truly too: http://www.football365.com/news/mails-forget-sentimentality-ranieri-sack-is-right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a British disease "red top mania" they build people up and then smash them to pieces they built the Leicester story up and now are joyfully smashing to pieces just look at the fake sheik stories nearly all aimed at people they built up and then set out to destroy ! LCFC is just another victim of this very British media tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He changed it back to 442, we played that 99% of the time during Pearsons time and the signings looked nailed on for us to go back to that even before CR came in.
