Thracian Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 Surely there is a manager somewhere in the world with a committed attacking philosophy, who knows how to blend a team together in an exciting manner, who has the desire and ability to develop our young players through to their full potential, who is strong enough to get all his charges fit and focused like a commando outfit and is by some quirk of fate both available and willing to come here. I've just don't know who or where he might be found and until there is someone, there's as much risk in moving Ranieri on as not, perhaps more. Depressing thought, that. Especially after this season's efforts.
squidsworth Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 Got to be a real chance of the sack, you can't compare now to Pearson as we've come a long way since then. We were supposed to become a established premier side with an international following, after last season, but we've become embarrassing turkey's that are going to be playing lower league football pretty soon if things don't change and fast. Not to mention the triple figure millions spent since Pearson left, even our owners won't want that round their neck. Don't want to see CR go as he was manager when we did the impossible, but based on what's happened since u wonder just how much was down to him rather than what was in place before.
MC Prussian Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 He won't be sacked. Yet. Us still being part of the Champions League and the FA Cup is his saving grace at the moment. Although given recent results and performances, further progress in both competitions is highly unlikely (although more so in the UEFA competition). If we showed up at Pride Park in the state of today, we'd get picked apart easily. Sevilla away is currently looking like a worse scenario than us losing 5-0 against Porto. Unless we're witness to another miracle and our form somehow picks up over the course of the next four weeks, we're in for a right thrashing. The worry is that we made it to the top with a team that wasn't really "his", but founded and nurtured by his predecessor. Now that he's had a full summer transfer window to spend some decent amount of money on, the players we've brought in under his tenure look nothing but fringe material, haven't really settled in properly or aren't given enough time on the pitch, whilst the heroes of yesterday flatter to deceive on a more or less regular basis. And what should be our key area, a settled defense, appears shaky, old, slow, sloppy and uncoordinated. A fatal state.
Johnthefoxrayner Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 If you sack him who is out there to take over and please don't say Pearson. Alan Pardew is not in work I don't think notable manager
UPinCarolina Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 After the match ended, I was ready to see Claudio off...but now I am not so sure. I'm more ready to see the players off, truth be told!

lcfcrinaldi Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 Ranieri will have to walk if there is to be a change in management, he wont be sacked. It's really good to see a Chairman with loyalty to their manager, which is rare in this time. I think he should be sacked, but I highly doubt it will happen. Ranieri was the right to man for the job last season, with the challenges we faced that season. But this season is completely different, with different challenges to face. And he has no answer for any of them. So clearly he's not the right man for the job this season.

Mendy probably his call but slim and musa we were looking at when Walsh was calling the shots. No idea about Kapustka or Hernandez word was that the owners asked him 'would he stay if we were relegated ' last year. Context has changed but would be a big call for them to sack him now. Cant see it although if things get really bad, would he walk?

I just hope the owners don't wait as long as Newcastle did last season because they would of stayed up if they got Benitez in earlier.

This is what is hurting.....just maybe Near 100% of us ,have the same feeling and thought A couple of good performances isnt doing it. We are poor in every department in any area of thought of play, mentality and physically.We have been devoid of anything that can point to the positive. We have been worse this one season, than Sunderland have looked over 3.. Everyweek, every game we comfort ourselve that this week, or that week will be the turning point. We've even been poor at being bad...!!! If you saw Souness today or last week, or Shearer, they have hit it on the head. Simply not going for it , in any situation, not going that extra yard, or inch, lose yes, but not chasing down. Not doing a Leicester of 2015/2016...no endeavour in any single action. My club is really leaving me very cold....The strange thing, I actually believe the new buys would have more to offer If the Vets were putting in half a shift of lsst season. It will only hurt, I know...but I will hang onto the dire threads of belief, that the FA cup and Sevilla-CL will somehow Someway put smiles on our faces once again... Leading into 2017..Neither Cricket, nor Tigers are delivering any relief. I am against my will, being forced into turning out to be a grumpy ol man... So lets be thankfull for the ..1/132. We must be, with some twisted and weird train of thought, be happier than Arsenal , Liverpool, And the Manchester sides Fans who expected and dreamed of more....O u r services just returned to normal, where their nightmares grind on..
cruzFOX Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 If the alarm bells havent been ringing they sure are going off like a tsunami siren right about now. I made the judgement call not to wake up at 4am today to watch this game and seeing everyones comments on the result I'm glad I didnt. Needless to say I'm really really worried now. We look like a team who are sleep walking to relegation and no one can seem to wake up. Ranieri is as honest a bloke as you'll find in football and when he's now saying its all his fault that tells me he has no idea how to stop the rot as he's desperately trying everything but nothing seems to work. He's a man who's lost control as its plain to see the team have no idea what they are doing anymore. Confidence is gone, frustration is setting in and there is zero enthusiasm left in the team. I can just see the ears of our best players burning from their agents telling them to jump ship at the next opportunity. Its crunch time now, either the team bands together has a big heart to heart and pull themselves out of this mess or they surrender it all and finish this season humiliated. If I were the chairman I'd fly in and speak to the team directly and ask them all if their heart is in it or not because I've given everything and more for last season. This season feels like a big slap in the face!
lee7 Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 There should be a real good chance of him going right now. Purely based on our performances throughout this season. The football we play is absolute turd. The centre backs both are incapable of playing the ball out along the floor instead they opt for aimless hoofs which benefit nobody. We don't look creative in the slightest. Personally I do not believe he can turn his around. Week after week I think something might change but nothing ever does.
Tielemans63 Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 I'm not sure Claudio believes he can turn it around. Horrible to see after the ecstasy of last season.
Leicesterpool Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 I don't know why but I got a bad feeling something may happen within the next few days. As mentioned before what hasn't helped Claudio was he spent £75 million in the summer and we're 15th! Pearson may have been rock bottom for many months and stuck with him but he spent nowhere near that amount not even over the period time he was here combined.

That probably can't be fixed by Ranieri and we require a new manager to come in and put the players in their place. Ranieri was brilliant last season, he got the subs spot on, tactics were second to none, but if the players aren't playing for you then there isn't much that can be done. You only have to look at how much Chelsea improved once Mourinho went Slight difference mate... Chelsea had some decent players.... We don't.
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 It's a 50/50 for me due to numerous reasons. Firstly the reasons why they wouldn't fire him - 1. Last Season (no explanation needed here - superb), 2. Payoff (surely after last season it would cost a bit to terminate Claudio's contract), 3. Champions League (i think the owners would find it morally difficult to take away the Champions League from the man that got us here). Now the reasons they might - 1. Shambles (everything seems off, tactics, mentality etc - we haven't looked this hopeless for a long time in our owners reign), 2. Signings Record (like mentioned - a lot of money spent and we look incredibly unbalanced - can they trust Claudio any more?), 3. Relegation (above the Champions League and everything else we must not get relegated) It's a tough one no doubt, we're nearing the end of the transfer window so we're all but out of time in all reality to be able to relieve Claudio, bring in a new gaffa and bring in players quickly. Perhaps the best idea now would be to give him another 10/15 million this week (if we can of course), see if we can bring in a couple of first team players - and perhaps a new coach to work alongside Claudio? Then come the end of the season have another look, if he doesn't turn it around and we go down - he'll go, if we struggle and just stay up we've got the summer to headhunt a new manager (I like the idea of Mancini, Wagner or Howe) Backup plan if shit hits the fan and we're in the relegation zone come February/March - try and persuade Martin O'Neill back till the end of the season (i know there are questions about him now he's getting on a bit) but we'll need a load of passion and desire to try and get us out of trouble.
char123 Posted 22 January 2017 Posted 22 January 2017 I doubt it. I don't think the owners actually know much about football really do they?they know its a results business and we arent getting results. they will also know how much money winning the league brought in and would have a rough idea how much relegation would cost. they are business men at the end of the daySent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Well there's no way we have become one of the worst teams in the league by losing one player,we must have at least a team capable of not being relegated.
urban.spaceman Posted 23 January 2017 Posted 23 January 2017 I think after this season he'll probably retire in the summer.

We aren't looking to become champions again but these players should be capable of being comfortable from relegation at least, which isn't the case at the moment
