Matt Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Although I've been critical of this appointment and not convinced he is the right man for the job, as an LCFC fan I will of course give my full backing to Ranieri and really hope he proves me and all the doubters wrong Nah I ain't having it. Because you're critical of the appointment and not convinced it's the right decision you must want the club the fail... In all seriousness I agree.

ARM1968 Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Isn't Ranieri about the same age as O'Neill? Didn't see anyone questioning MON's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackneyfox Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 It's their decision whatever the intentions and they will be judged by it, same way all owners should be. They have probably put themselves in a bit of a situation where they are there to be shot at now given the excuse for the dismissal was so impertinent. I wouldn't bank on Pearson keeping his mouth shut either, we might learn something sooner than people think. Personally, based on nothing at all, I think NFP will be advised to keep quiet as he's probably in the wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Isn't Ranieri about the same age as O'Neill? Didn't see anyone questioning MON's age. I was. However intially when NP first got sacked I was calling for Big Sam, didn't realise he was 61 though, saying that, I still probably have him, but i'd be more confident of having him at the club longer than Ranieri will be here for.

ARM1968 Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Matt - you must be the exception that proves the rule. I don't think any of them are too old. Lot too much talked about young, hungry managers. Ranieri really isn't all that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamRocket Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 I think some managers are good club managers and some people are good international managers. Personally am not 100% sure but the manager will still get full backing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Because it's a strange appointment football wise. Why is it a strange appointment 'football wise'? We didn't have a manager, Ranieri didn't have a job, he's done well at other clubs and we (allegedly) wanted a big name manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphericalfox Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 If they've not said anything yet they're not going to now. Someone is going to have to get Birchy pissed up and pump him for the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't have a manager, Ranieri didn't have a job, he's done well at other clubs and we (allegedly) wanted a big name manager. Is it even about the "big" name? Its just that were getting a very astute manager with a wealth of experience. I cant really see why its strange or a backward move either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphericalfox Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Why is the media in general against this appointment? Is it just because we are Leicester ? Because they didn't get their blood this summer.

Fox Ulike Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Yeah, me either. what do you think makes it strange? It's strange because older football managers who have managed some of the biggest clubs in Europe don't usually want to end their careers in charge of a parochial club in the bottom half of the Premiership. Ranieri going to Greece was like a semi-retirement. He didn't even live in the country. His results there suggest that he probably wasn't that committed to the job. So it's strange that he's now chosen to go back into club management, and even stranger that he's chosen to do it at a small East Midlands club in a League that he hasn't worked in for 11 years. What do you think his motivation is? Our aim next season should be to finish 10th in the League. Why would a Manager with Ranieri's history be interested in achieving that? If he couldn't motivate Greece to beat the Faroe Islands, how is he going to motivate Leicester City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 14 July 2015 Share Posted 14 July 2015 Aren't the Thais/the club doing just about everything correctly and by the book? Keeping hush hush about the reasons for Pearson's sacking, not letting much out about Ranieri until it was a 'done deal' (even the bookies didn't really know) and staying out of the media, smacks of professionalism doesn't it? Regardless of whether it's the 'right decision', they've played their cards very close to their chests I think? The whole thing could have been a complete circus and actually, it's not been at all.

Regardless of whether it's the 'right decision', they've played their cards very close to their chests I think? The whole thing could have been a complete circus and actually, it's not been at all. Id have to agree. The circus was generated by the media. Klopp and Bielsa were never on the radar and it was probably a case of ironing out Claudio's role, the situation with staff etc. Why should the club air all the dirty laundry in public? Its obvious there had been a major fallout between them and Pearson after the Thai's had shown an enormous amount of patience and belief in him by keeping him on. They wouldnt have made that decision on a whim. And in terms of "not knowing anything about football" id say theyve made quite a shrewd appointment as well.
