Confirmed: Ranieri new manager

Recommended Posts

Posted

Without looking into every team he's managed in the past ten years, are we the weakest team he's had? I'm with some on here that are simply glad we have someone.......not so sure it's a step up though other than on paper!

Finally some sense - the mind boggles. I'm sick of the football dinosaur comments, he's managed some enormous clubs and amazing players, and given where we've been in recent years this is a massive coup.

Exactly this!

The hope: Has good contacts, is still respected by players, gets in a couple of names maybe slightly above our station, gets us to comfortable mid-table and by the time he goes we are a more attractive proposition to still-relevant big-name managers.

 

The reality: Cringeworthy, naive and expensive. Has a good start but is sacked after a woeful run of results as he usually is. Let's just hope we do enough in his first few months to stay up. Sven 2.0.

I really don't get the negativity ...... We sign a world class manager for once and it's met with "hope he doesn't do anything different to Nigel" .... 

 

Change is uncomfortable for some people but without it you generally don't make progress .... this is a progressive appointment, even if only short term. IMHO.

Is he fluent in English yet?

From what I recall while at Chelsea he had an interrupter, and one who made things up apparently.

its going to make ht team talks a nightmare.lol

Other clubs fans will have a negative view. My initial reaction last week was 'no way'. But I hadn't got the facts of his career since Chelsea and I softened my opinion after I had. Other clubs fans won't bother. They will just diss us. Good!

Goes without saying but I hope he starts well, can't see it too long before the pressure is massively on. Knowing Leicester fans it might be before the season starts if we look shit in pre season.

I don't know how much we're paying him but he could easy whore himself around Asia at his age, not taking over at a team who just survived in the premier league last year having been away for 10 years.

How on earth can that be 'reality'?

It ain't happened yet.

Not happy with Ranieri, didn't want Allardyce, don't want O'Neil coming back to ruin his own status, Lennon not experienced enough and as for preki... Just wondered who some people would of been happy with, seems to me the owners were in a no win position with certain fans.

Personally I think this is an excellent appointment which benefits both parties. We get an excellent proven manger with plenty of contacts, someone who can convince cambiasso to stay. For him, another chance in the premier league.

Remember where we have been. Megson, Allen, Holloway, Worthington, and people moan now we have a top European manager who has a win ratio of over 40% at club level. That ratio would give us at least 45 points. The bloke wants to be successful, so let's get behind him.

Very very underwhelming

Still time to get behind the team and cheer them on again soon

 

Agree, I for one am gutted at this appointment.

 

I'll need a few days to digest it and accept it before I can support him 100%.

If he's 100% committed to us and isn't here for one last pay day then he'll be backed

Pretty much any appointment other than Klopp would have caused a divide with our fans and others.

 

We are still bitter from sacking a successful manager with no obvious reason and so that doesn't help either.

 

I hope he gets off to a good start as I can see he won't be getting much patience from a lot of us.

 

Cambiasso staying will be a big difference I feel.   Get it done Ranieri!!
