Faith in Ranieri Poll

[Fox92]

Voted the same as I have felt for the past month and that's leave.

[chris_lcfc_85]

This is slowly starting to swing more and more each game.... Not good.

 

I think we just need to say thank you Ranieri, you are a Leicester legend and always will be but now we need a different direction

[Guest LCFC_World]

I can just see it. Man Utd on Sunday people with cardboard with writing on it saying "thank you for everything but it's time to go"  

[tsintskaro]

there was a great chance to make this club more than championship-battling for avoiding relegation level,to make this club consistent at least for top 10,club  who has bright future

but no

i cant forgive this

i dont blame only claudio,owners are idiots

 

[Guest Col city fan]

I genuinely can't believe the owners are just going to sit on this and watch us get relegated. It would have huge implications for the club. 

Surely they are discussing some course of action? 

The difference between the Pearson side, relegation bound, and this team is that Pearson's lot had some fight in it. This bunch looks like they are giving in already.

[CKB]

I do feel for Ranieri as this mess started more or less straight after we won the title!

 

We haven't planned well at all, the owners were panicked into handing out utterly stupid contracts, our recruitment has been embarrassing, the list goes on

 

So while Ranieri has made mistakes he's also been fvcked over by many things aswell. The players are the main culprits, they were given this and that and in turn that turned once passionate, hungry players into big time arrogant Charlie's

 

But now I'm not sure if this mess can be sorted out by Ranieri. I'm beginning to think we need someone who's gonna knock some heads together and put some fight back in us and won't be afraid to ruffle some feathers if needs be

I was never a huge fan of Pearson, but I can't agree more with this.

In a better position than Feb 2015 with Pearson

but been a lot less fun. he's not throttled anyone, not headbutted anyone, not called anyone a c unt, a pr ick, to die. just stands there and says he's pleased. it's bullshit. 

 

pearson knew we were half shit and was fighting to make us less shit. ranieri hasn't even worked out that we are rubbish yet, let alone tried to do anything about it. 

[TheSomersetFox]

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri insists he is not concerned by his club's form, despite a 12th defeat of the season last night that leaves them in 16th place, only two points clear of the relegation zone.

"Panic? No," the Italian said. "I'm happy with our performance, with our character, but, of course, the result is not with us. 

"We have to work more, fight more and believe. "We need to make two, three good matches with points, and then we will be getting better." 

 

 

 

Seriously, seriously tired of this bollocks. Leave.

[Guest Danny Clender]

I keep thinking go then stay, sheer indecisiveness.

Have to make a decision though, so, for me, he stays until the end of the season, no sack, not now and no sack ever.

I have said this before, but this is what I'm now sticking with whatever happens.

 

We stuck with Nigel, so we stick with Claudio.

I know its been said before, but if there can be a compromise let's sack him and reinstate him. 

[tetly]

He has lost his mind you can't defend him or the players any longer they have been appalling.  All I hear him say is the same old garbage time and time again. We need to fight bla bla bla, good performance but not the result. 

We all know what a sinking ship looks like and this man seems to think we are ok.

He's been banging this drum for months now. Holy Rae, let there be a method to Claudio's madness!

Firstly regarding Claudio and transfers. Like all clubs in modern day football they have a set up to look at players. You rarely see managers flying to France to watch a league match these days. However what is evident is these are picks that Claudio has sanctioned. Whether its players that our system has been looking at for weeks, months or even years, Im sure Claudio has his say. If he didnt have his say then he wouldnt have fought so hard to be stubborn and keep Leo. The other thing is I have read countless times about Claudio calling a player and trying to convince them to join us. He of course is involved but his recent quotes of being a coach and not general manager is because other people are employed at the club to deal with the negotiations and financials.

 

As for the big club in transition remark, whether you like it or not its true. Teams can be transformed with a few signings and they have this season. United are doing better because of the input of Pogba, Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan. Those are three massive players for them. Imagine them without that trio this season. Look at Chelsea heading the league. Kante for them has made a huge difference, massive in fact. I mentioned on another thread about his stats yesterday against Liverpool. He made 14 tackles in the game, the next on the list was Lovren on 3. Add Luiz who has arguably been one of the best defenders this season and you can understand the difference of a few key signings. Alonso has also given them much needed balance on the left. I wont go through all teams but just work out how many sides have newish managers from the top clubs and its clear that most were in rebuild mode. This season the aforementioned are a different beast altogether.

 

Back to us and winning it, well we were largely a bunch of misfits. Huth was deemed not good enough for a struggling Stoke side, Simmo at QPR, Albrighton wasnt offered a new deal at his home town club. Fuchs left on a free and instantly started talking about playing in America, largely because he thought he wasnt good enough to play at such a high standard and Im sure he even surprised himself. However, these dudes played out of there skin. They then had Kante doing the work of 2 in front of them and that allowed alot of the rest of the team to express themselves which they did. It was a complete freak season and one that is unlikely to happen again.The players performed, the manager kept the pressure of the them and the club and people started liking us again. The media were wound up by Pearsons goings-on and Claudio did magnificently to calm everything down and allow the players to play. Unfortunately this season (so far) they havent repaid him and the club with league performances. We showed what we could do v Man City but the reality is they cant string two decent performances together.

 

And finally....  You are typical of the knee-jerk reaction fan who can take the good and not the bad. It was all ok last season and the champions league has been great this season but you want to down tools and sack the manager in the hope that it will kick off our league season. Unfortunately life isnt like that. Most of the people who made us the team of the century last season are still here this season. They need to (as a collective) get us out of the mire. They will be much better for it next season if they can turn it around.

You are completely going off track with every point you try and make and eventually end up trying to make examples of things we don't really know the full truth about to try and make your point valid or completely contradict yourself. How do you know what influence CR has with transfers, as previously suggested CR has said he isn't involved with transfers, whether that means the signing procedure or the identifying/scouting procedure I'm unsure, some managers in the past have publicly spoken about having no say whatsoever with transfers and basically just being given a player turn up on the training field... im sure and hope our club isn't like that and that CR does have a say but based on what you are saying... who are these players he is supponsingly calling up to convince to come here? I haven't heard of any and no signings have struck me as being like it either, are you sure your not getting him confused with Sven now?   and if CR is involved with signings as you suggest, what signings have struck you as such an influence on the team? Hernadez we got rid after 6 months, Musa struggling to cope, Benny nowhere to be seen, Kapustka apparently not ready, Gray he seems unfavourable although he is the one player who shows any form of desire, Inler last season, Slimani abit hit and miss, Mendy still to be judged but feels as if it's either going to be him or drinky and I'd prefer to see drinky on the pitch, Zeiler who isn't good enough for the premier league, Amartey still feels as if he doesn't know where to play him and that's also the fact that he has failed to strengthen us defensively and that's all with smashing the club transfer record numerous times... so if you want to say how involved CR is with transfer dealings your not really strengthening your claim why he should stay - we have spent over a £100m and this is the position we are now in. 

 

It isnt true about how we was basically gifted the league due to clubs in transition and if it is the case why didn't the likes of Everton, Spurs, Stoke etc win the league who have consistently been just outside the top 5/6. You don't get gifted a league and a big team is never going to forfeit a league title because of them going through a transition. I love the fact that you can't see how much of a state our club is currently in yet reference United and Chelsea to how well they are now who amazingly have had new managers!!  the fact is Chelsea struggled last season because of dressing room unrest - players were the same who won the league and minus Kante are basically the same side, LVG style didn't suit united and he failed to adapt to the premier league, Mourinho has came in and now plays more attacking football whilst understanding the league, yes the signings too have made a difference but minus Zlatan only of late as Pogba has been hit and miss & Mkhitaryan only just getting run in the side. 

 

WTF are you going on about... media wound up by Pearson and people liking us again? If you like to think that had an impact on us winning the league then you've seriously got your head in the clouds! We beat Man City purely down to Peps ignorance, hence the reason why we was 2-0 up within 5 mins! West Ham result was encouraging but we have failed to follow it up, that was over a month ago now! There is a hell of a lot more to be worried about from this season than believing the odd results will be enough, we look like a team of strangers, we can't attack, we seem to struggle to adapt to new tactics/formations, we aren't scoring - if you seriously believe we can stay up with what your watching I seriously am amazed! 

 

I love how you slate the players but then use what im putting in your own words to come across that you know what your talking about, yes the players can get us out this situation... like they won the league last season and yes they got us to survive few seasons ago... it's tactically where we are struggling to utilise these players and outclass opponents which falls to the manager! 

 

I would rather be called a knee-jerk support (which isn't possible as last month I said CR should be given more time) than someone who thinks we won the league because people liked us again, media was less wound up and using terms such as... we need to get our eye of the tiger back! I can guarantee you're the type of supporter that has only just liked us again and will be quick to jump on the happy wagon if we get a new manager in. 

[Koke]

Ranieri said this after the dismal 2-1 defeat to Sunderland, and prior to the 5-0 defeat to Porto.

 

Quote

“Am I worried about the sack? Never,” said Ranieri prior to Leicester’s 5-0 away drubbing at Porto in the Champions League last week

 

Well, he better be now.

[Ricey]

I think the majority of problems this season aren't his fault, but nevertheless he has failed to turn it round and we are now in a situation where we can only play one way, that way isn't working and the he appears to be losing the dressing room.

 

I just pray we can muster together one good performance and result that may raise confidence, heal the rifts and set us on our way back.

 what are you on about? You asked my opinion on why we won the title and I clearly told you there are way too many reasons why. I did touch on the media because I think you need them on your side to get the best out of the players. I believe that to be the case with National teams and thats why England always fail because most of them find reasons to rip us apart and Pearson was in that mould. The constant battle he had with our local reporter (I forget his name) was embarrassing but whether he was calling the media ostrich, trying to strangle Crystal Palace players or just being his obnoxious self, he was never the sweetheart of the media and didnt do us as a club any favours there and that IMO is what ultimately cost him his job from honorable owners. Claudio came in smiling, his press conferences even in the beginning were fun and he made us a likeable club again. Now you may think that it doesnt mean fudge all to players but I beg to differ. Over the years I must have read over 50 autobiographies of players and so many blame managers for outting them or being in the centre of a media backlash. It may only have made a 1% difference but what Claudio did helped big time. As for being gifted the league well that is again not what I said. I said some of the big boys were in a transitional period and pointed out some of there summer purchases which has elevated there level. Again that had another 1% to do with why we won. Thats the 2% covered now. I cant be assed to go through the other 98% and I know the people reading wouldnt want me too either  Needless to say it was totally deserved, a modern day miracle and this type of 5000/1 long shot is unlikely to happen again in either of our lifetimes.

 

As for slating players, they are the ones who get paid the millions and they are the ones who got the shiny new BMWs and contracts. Claudio has always been humble and pointed to the players when we did well. He even looks embarrassed when he goes to pick up these trophies as he genuinely thinks its down to the players and the whole set up. That means if we fudge up, of course he has to be blamed as he is coaching and selecting the side but you can tell he seems to still be trying. I cant say that for the majority of our players. Im not asking for them to play to the same level as last season but I am asking for the same effort. If you are going to sit there and defend some of our players performances and some of there effort levels then you must be a mentalist mate. We started the season and completely stopped doing the things that made us successful last season. I havent seen Vardy have one game where he ran around like a lunatic and get wound up. I see him and he labours around and when something goes wrong seems to be smiling like he dont give a shite. The same can be said about most players who dont put the effort in. Thats why I am blaming them ahead of Claudio.

 

Now to finish on signings and stuff. Players have come out and said Claudio called them and even he has been quoted as saying he spoke to this player or that. The reason I mentioned this is despite us having a system in place to sign players (thats evident as we are buying players we have been looking at for years), Claudio is sanctioning the deals. I also believe that there is no coincidence that we all of a sudden have been linked to Francesco Acerbi, Eder, Pedro Pereira, Gabriel Barbosa amongst others and ended up with Molla Wague. All of the aforementioned are based in Italy. If he was just a coach he this wouldnt be happening IMO. Again, like you I cant say for certain but I am trying to use some common sense here. As for you blabbling about players, all I can say is you are getting your knickers in the twist. Cambiasso left when CR arrived. He wanted an experienced midfielder so went for Inler. I dont think he realised how good Danny was and how good Kante was going to end up. You`ll remember that Drinky didnt play that often before Claudio came in. According to the stats he was 12th on the list of players who started the most games for us in the season leading up to CR arriving. However, CR saw something and picked him. Inler couldnt get in ahead of him or Kante so fell down the pecking order. Whats wrong with that? "Gray seems unfavourable"??!! WTF!! He is young and we have got a Balon Dor nominee on one wing FFS! Gray if memory serves even started the season at Hull and has featured heavily in recent times!! Yeah the lad looks like he could be world class but he isnt yet. The fact that we have thrown him in and he has failed to see numerous opportunities to cross or pass the ball and is so selfish doubled up with his lack of goals and assists tells us he hasnt earned his place yet. Mourinho came out and said that he gave a 30m signing in Martial the chance to make that place his own and he was disappointing he didnt take it. He has been lazy, greedy and selfish. That needs to be ironed out but you cant have a pop of CR for that surely??!!!  I still think he will be sensational in the future but he hardly set the world alight so far. Use him as an impact sub for now IMO. Anyone who knows anything about football knows that Amartey is another raw talent. He is very inexperienced and young. He shows some good and then not so good. CR tried Andy King first because of his experience and then Mendy who got injured. What should he have done, not played him? As for not knowing Amarteys fav position, WTF are you on about? He has played in central midfield. When did CR start him in central defence?!!! Zieler is a decent GK and a better option that old man Schwartzer. Im not saying Zieler is a world beater but an OK replacement. He hardly makes mistakes but rarely makes wonder saves. Id rather have him than either Liverpools two donkeys who always make clangers. Slimani has done OK but the production line has dried up.

 

I`ll end this 1000000 page document with this. ALL the players have to fight for this club, the manager and the owners. Things may have changed with Kante and Walsh going and us having our heads on the block as Champions but there is no excuse for effort. The lads who are being paid a fortune are being paid because of effort, desire and quality. I as a fan also want them to start seeing that quality. Drinky, Vardy and Mahrez are top of the list of players who need to start delivering. So lets get off Claudios back and wanting to be predictable in sacking the manager and getting someone else in and ask more of the current crop to start earning there wage.

Maybe i've got the wrong end of the stick but i'm not sure what point you're trying to put out there?

 

That he's never been relegated so it's unlikely it'll happen here?

 

He'd never won a top flight league before last season either....

 

First time for everything.

Who would we replace him with that would actually come?

 

And yes I don't think we will get relegated if Ranieri stays until the end of the season. Things are bad without doubt but I think he will keep us up. Slim and Amartey to come back will help.

So lets get off Claudios back and wanting to be predictable in sacking the manager and getting someone else in and ask more of the current crop to start earning there wage.

 

I really wish FT would allow us to put a whole convo thread together without having to go back and quote every comment going but you literally make no sense at all. 

 

So from what your saying, we have a good side but they aren't playing well, they don't look interested, we have missed out on various transfer targets and summer transfers who as you have just confirmed was CR approved aren't good enough!? If that's not CR's fault then please entertain me by explaining who's fault it is? And please don't say the players because as I have previously said, they need to take some responsibility but the issue lays a lot deeper. 

 

To also go against this silly theory of 'media not linking us contributing to success on the pitch' all of Pearsons antics happened BEFORE the great escape and some during it, so how was Pearsons relationship with the media our downfall on the pitch? Cambiasso also announced he was leaving before CR was announced although CR said he was going to speak to him to try and change his mind (also again against your theory of CR supponsingly masterminding these deals by talking to all these players prior to signing, which you have still failed to give an example)   Which lead to the signing of Inler which as CR said was going to be his replacement as he wanted a leader with international pedigree. For whatever reasons drinky didn't play much during the survival season as Pearson favoured Cambiasso and James in a 442. It wasn't until Pearson changed to a 5 man midfield and bought drinky in our fortunes changed so not sure what point your getting at previously!? CR didn't rate Kante and played him out of position with Inler and DD initially which then became DD and Kante. 

 

I cant be bothered to go into detail with everything your babbling on about as your either going way over your head with reading autobiography theories or making no sense at all. 

 

You want more from players and players dont look up for it/not committed but a lad who comes on and actually does something he needs to be on the bench because we have a ballon d'or on the pitch!? You do realise you play with 2 wingers!? And although he can be frustrating to watch at times he is one of our top assist players this season. So with that in mind and him not starting/little time off the bench how is it a shock I say he is unfavourable as CR favours Albrighton. 

 

Amartey has played RB and RM, was used as a CB with Copenhagen. 

 

Zeiler hardly makes mistakes? The back line seem to have no confidence in him or poor communication, poor decision making, poor distribution, there's a reason why we never registered a league win with him in goal. 

 

So so if nothing changes in terms of results and performances, at what point does the club change? Or are you still happy for CR to continue? 

 

I get the whole sentimental reason, I like CR for everything he done last season but to be approaching 3/4 of the season and in the position were in is worrying, something needs to change asap and as CR seems to be unable to resolve anything on the pitch and publicly announce he is pleased with the performances is a concern that comes across as more stupid than Pearsons antics.

In 30 years as manager has Ranieri ever been relegated? I can't see anything online that he has been. 

 

 

I think he has always been sacked before it's got to that situation?

Who would we replace him with that would actually come?

 

And yes I don't think we will get relegated if Ranieri stays until the end of the season. Things are bad without doubt but I think he will keep us up. Slim and Amartey to come back will help.

 

As for replacement's i've already listed 3 (If I put more thought in i'm sure I could come up with more) in another thread.

 

Unrealistic, it definetly won't happen but i'd love it to happen: Pearson.

Not sure if it's unrealistic or not: Mancini, he's available, not a clue if he'd come.

Risky: Rowett, as i've said risky but certainly one of the better managers to have if we did go down.
