This is a man who has achieved a feat in the English game that may never be revisited in our lifetime, taking the Premier League title from the elite" I agree with him - thought that Fuchs was well out of order doing that and CR looked pretty miffed at the time.....

I guess Samuel's point is that maybe the players should be more respectful to the person that gave them their biggest career highlight to date. It was only Fuchs who sprayed champagne over him during the press conference after we'd won the title. Disrespectful? Who do they think they are? What? Title. Trophy. Champagne.

Go and get a big order, whilst your boss is sat at his desk shower him with babycham ..... see how suitable he thinks it is!!! It struck me at the time as a bit surprising.

evil jack Posted 25 January 2017 Share Posted 25 January 2017 "A big order"? Even as a Leicester fan, you must understand the sheer flipping lunacy of what they achieved and what they were feeling?

fuchsntf Posted 25 January 2017 Share Posted 25 January 2017 Rorke's drift..or Ranieri's Rift. I just couldnt care...he is the manager, only foxes manager who has lifted the 'Precious' The players have lost fans respect, not for losing, but for the lack of bite and losing that fearless tag. They have had 22 games to balance out their performances.They were given their management support.They if anybody have lost it..Ranieri picked what he believed were champions.. I still wont blame anybody..!! We rode the crest of the wave, reached a pinnacle that many deemed right to the last minute impossible. I know for one its just unfortunately "one of those things" Forget Kante...The stay behinds, the 1-2 more seasons loyals , had given their all. That 1 season, not too far...this season is the season too far. So what..you only have to do it once!! Hard to take we have imploded, and not done a Chelsea, we have been poor.Chelsea still played football. They had within the same players continual extra quality.. hey..!! I still say thanks to my legends of .....2015/2016 PL Champions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnthefoxrayner Posted 26 January 2017 Share Posted 26 January 2017 If Ulloa stays with us he needs to start games. I can understand his frustration and why he wants to leave but give him a chance. Ulloa has scored vital goals for us show some loyalty to him and he will not let you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 26 January 2017 Share Posted 26 January 2017 Think you've nailed it. The reason the players aren't performing for Claudio is because they had a big argument about Fuchs pouring Champagne on his head after we (yes we, Leicester) won the premier league. Ban all champagne from the KP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as gent laughed it off once he could see again!! It surprises me that people thought it was disrespectful towards Ranieri? I saw it as a sign of affection that they all made the effort to do it. If you won the league, would you do something similar to your manager as you are just over the moon? Or course he was miffed, he's soaked but he took it in good spirit. Also, if at that point the players didn't respect Ranieri, how come they all signed new contracts and didn't leave. Drinky, Vardy, Mahrez could have left for the same money as we were offering but stayed. Mahrez brought in his mate Slimani! If they didn't respect the manager, why did all this happen? Surely you'd want to leave and get out while you can? People read into things too much. Players from other clubs have played pranks on their manager throughout the years. I remember one manager getting drowned in ice water (but can't remember who) in an interview situation. I think this season Ranieri has tried new tactics (some I actually agree with) but the players are struggling to adapt to them. This is mainly down to a bizarre pre-season where we couldn't try new tactics, bed in players because we were jet setting around the world. It hurt Chelsea last season, and now we are struggling.

It's not as if Ranieri was at the hub of a players bukkake celebration party in which case he'd have had every right to be miffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 26 January 2017 Share Posted 26 January 2017 Winning the title shouldn't guarantee anyone's job for life. It's ancient history now and the focus should be firmly on the next potential achievements as top clubs demonstrate all the time. The celebrations should have finished months ago but some of our staff don't seem mature enough to cope with that and to get their feet back on the floor so they can do their job properly. I don't care whether Ranieri's popular or not. I do care that he's fair to people and I do care that he's effective, both in terms of the performances he draws from the players, his contribution to the development of our aspiring youngsters and the standard of our recruitment. On what he's paid, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect him to cope with these three tasks. Right now in relation to this which is the one we're on as opposed to last season, I'd say he rating about 3/10 and that's mostly related to the Champions League when we haven't excited with our performances but we have got results.

Certainly not £22m (Slimani £30m - Ulloa £8m) better. Or the amount of money I dare say we're getting for Ulloa compared to whats being offered for Slimani.
