Lesteban Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Claudio Ranieri's managerial statistics 1991-2014: Games 943 W-433 D-264 L-246 Win Percentage 45.92% 52% premier league win ratio, only six managers in history (Benitez, Mancini, Wenger, Ancelotti, Fergie and Mourinho) were better than that. Worked with Esteban before at Inter, so good chance he'll sign on. We could do much worse, If he manages his career average with us, which admittedly he probably won't, we'd be on 61 pts (that would be enough for 7th place this year).
General Smuts Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Just realised that it was Ranieri who sold us Dennis W*se. Ranieri OUT.
RedSoxUK Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Why do we want Shakey to stay, does he have any sway with the players? I would like Walsh to stay, they must know each other from their Chelsea days and Cambiasso as player coach...... He's a very good coach, often leads the training sessions and had a big say in the way Leicester has been playing, and has been trained in the past. Undervalued as a coach IMO because Pearson obviously takes the heat and the wrath from media/fans, where Shakespeare arguably had a big role in Leicester City under Nigel Pearson.
Dr The Singh Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Cottee slaughtering him on SSN! ! I must say, I didn't see this comming. Will he get the financial backing? If he does, then were screwed, and will be in debt
ramboacdc Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Cottee wanted Lennon, well f**k me.. you don't say! haha
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 How on earth can it be underwhelming when we were linked with Lennon, Big Sam and some guy in America???They weren't the only names linked so yes I am slightly disappointed
Jakemoore Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Did anyone catch Tony Cottee on SSN just now?! He was very very negative about this appointment and went on to say that we could do with signing a new striker. It's clear to me that he doesn't follow the club closely at all. He just stated what it usually the standard for a lower placed premier league side. Sky just asked him for an interview because he's already contracted to sky.
AKCJ Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Just realised that it was Ranieri who sold us Dennis W*se. Ranieri OUT. I'd say that he got rid of him, so it's a yes from me.
Fox92 Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Got to back him regardless. Not sure about the appointment, mind.
BoyJones Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Actually now Cottee, Lineker and Arry aving a go, I am feeling happier with this appointment. Reunited with Huth after all these years, wonder what Huth is telling the lads!!
RedSoxUK Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Just realised that it was Ranieri who sold us Dennis W*se. Ranieri OUT. He's a very smart man manager obviously to sell that twat from Chelsea.
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Gutted, smacks of a total cock up by the Owners,another Sven like appointment and will end the same way. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Corky Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Oh and extra kudos for pissing off Redknapp. Fvck you very much, you'd love Ranieri's history you prat.
Dr The Singh Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Excellent appointment - very pleased indeed.Why?
STUHILL Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Pretty happy with this! No manager is without risk and the owners have gone with someone with an impressive CV which is fair enough. It might not work but it's worth a try and could take us to the next level. I think the players will like him as he has a lot of charm and history of being the "nice guy". Don't get why some are using the word 'Underwhelmed'. Have you seen the list of clubs he has managed?! I also don't agree with those who assume he will spend loads, he has been with relegation threatened sides before and not spent much. The amount we spend will be down to owners and Rudkin. Ranieri will just work with what he has and I can only see another 2 or 3 players coming in now anyway. A guy who with vast experience who was depserate to manage in the Prem again, and who has a lot of prestige and contacts in the game. Overall, a decent appointment. Roll on Sunderland!!
Finn Claw II Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 I would have thought Harry had more class than to slate another manager. As for pundits they can do one. he deserves half a season at least before any real assessment is made
Edingleyfox Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Personally think it is a huge gamble but it might pay off as long as he doesn't tinker too much and looks at the last 10 games of the season before making major changes or spending out. Clearly not first choice but let's get behind him and with a bit of momentum early on he could be great fun and the official site suggests he has worked with a few of the guys and he should have the right contacts
Oldinnblue Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 He's a very good coach, often leads the training sessions and had a big say in the way Leicester has been playing, and has been trained in the past. Undervalued as a coach IMO because Pearson obviously takes the heat and the wrath from media/fans, where Shakespeare arguably had a big role in Leicester City under Nigel Pearson. Did he coach our set pieces, if he did he was the worst in the league......
Finnaldo Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 People moan about this because he's been sacked from high profile jobs, yet would also consider Moyes the ideal candidate, despite failing at Man U.... He's rebuilt clubs from midtable or lower leagues back to the big time and that's exactly what we're looking for. Carries a reputation that along with Walsh could really boost potential signings. Harry can fook off, walk into the job? Well yes, we're not gonna make him complete the Crystal fvcking Maze to get in are we?
Dr The Singh Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 I would have thought Harry had more class than to slate another manager. As for pundits they can do one. he deserves half a season at least before any real assessment is made Why half a season?
