How much longer does Claudio get a pass?

[tyfox]

He can't stop the rot he needs to go by January if it don't change

[Tuna]

Since leaving Chelsea in 2004  Ranieri has stayed on average 13 months at his other clubs since (Valencia, Juve, Roma, Inter, Monaco and Greece - not counting
Parma which was always a short term job).

 

Doesn't seem to stay anywhere long term.

 

[oxtonfox]

I don't want Claudio to undergo a relegation and humiliation. We need to get someone in and Sam's the best option. Maybe we can get Defoe in January too.

What I can't understand is how poor our defending is. Where is all that great Italian defending which Italian teams are famous for.

 

If we are going to make a change Eddie Howe a talented and hungry manager. Or take a chance on Giggs, With his experience as a player for Ferguson and Utd he could be an inspired choice.

Just whacked £15 on CR to be next manager gone at 33/1, pretty decent odds that

maybe decent odds, but take your pick from Bradley, Bilic and Pardew

Last season was remarkable and beyond our wildest dreams.

Ranieri didn't really have to bollock anyone and spirits were high.

 

This season we look a shambles all over the pitch.

Defending looks a lost art and we are void of any attacking threat. Whilst only losing 1 player.

Our setup has changed and we seem to have no game plan and no confidence in each other, and some are playing for themselves and not for the team.

 

Ranieri is lost at how to change our faltering premier league campaign, as he hasn't been in this situation last season at all.

 

Whatever happened in the summer has gone through our squad like wildfire as at times we look pretty average. A stark contrast from last season where everything we tried came off, now we don't want to try anything creative or attack with any purpose.

 

Being in the CL (which is great) is blinding people's opinions on how shockingly bad we have been all over the pitch so far. 

What we do on the training pitch isn't coming across on match day as we look a lost bunch of souls and I don't think as much as I want him to get through this sticky patch.....I genuinely feel he doesn't know how.

'Not So Clever Fox'

[dannythefox]

Never seen football like it last season brilliant all season. Raniari tactics every game was spot on. I think now he's 2 games away from the sack, the club is in free fall and we don't look like stopping it. When under Pearson we we're playing well but not getting the points this time we're playing poorly deserving to lose. 

[bovril]

Giggs

[jayfox26]

I'm not one that currently thinks we should get rid of Claudio as I think that would be premature, however if come mid Jan we are down near the bottom, questions will need to be asked. If the worst does happen and we end up sacking Claudio, how would people feel about Sean dyche. I never liked him after the season we won the championship and he kept slating us "many pound notes" but recently I've grown to like him. He's down to earth, level headed and gets the best out of his players. Still pretty young for a manager and he's English. I think he would be a good bet if Claudio did go

Rather Giggs

[NeilLCFC]

It's a real shame but it's clear that Claudio is not able to turn things round. We massively need to strengthen in Jan but i wouldn't trust him to get it right and we'll end up blowing a load more cash on crap. 

 

Pretty evident he's lots the dressing room. The bluk of this team has been with us from the championship to the great escape, right through to the heroics of last season, and throughout they've always shown fight and determination - so why have they suddenly given up? You can say what you like about big contracts etc but I don't believe that crap, Walsh leaving was a big sign that things were going wrong behind the scenes. 

 

Not saying I want him back but I'd be more confident of NP turning this around than CR. Even if it didn't work out, at least we would go down fighting.

[TMELcfc]

Anyone think O'Neill would be open to a return and change our fortunes around? 

 

Id like Ranieri to just try a new system and look to prioritise clean sheets again. If not, go and bring in big Sam!

[Bunyip]

He has to go and he will. After another battering and humiliation against Man city.  The fans will turn on him and the players and the owners will be left with no choice. He's been found out and the kings not wearing any clothes.

[Spiritwalker]

I'd give him 4 more games, if we still look as poor as we do at present

then he has got to go. I think the owners will now be looking at who may

be available. Hopefully Roy and Big Sam will not make the list.

[bigDfox33]

O'Neill - Quality!!

[bigDfox33]

Can someone put a list of available managers

Dear oh dear why is Allardyce 'the best option'?

 

Is that what you want us to be? A hoofball team with no long term direction? A Sunderland type club who sleepwalk their way through every season? Whose crowds drop away as they get less and less inspired after every passing week?

 

Surely after the last campaign you can see why it's worth showing a bit of ambition, why it's worth trying to play positive and progressive football? Managers like fat Sam and  Pulis who always said clubs like us should accept their place in the footballing world were shown up as fools last season. We showed them you didn't have to just play a limited brand of football and accept staying up as a success.

 

Even if Claudio did go it's incomprehensible that you would want Allardyce. It shows a total lack of footballing awareness and intelligence.

[dannythefox]

My manager would be Eddie Howe but notsure if he'd be available to us as he might want a bigger club.

Shall we go through that season's fixture list so I can remind you how bad were in the majority of games before April?

 

So many people have such a blinkered view of that season.

We we had opportunities to sign players in the summer and continued to haggle endlessly in some cases - if we wanted Keane, for example, we should have just paid up. 

Do you think, it was CR's decision not to pay up?
