Some of the performances were absolutely hideous, some of the most turgid football I've seen. Do you remember Vardy playing on the wing? Ulloa up top on his own? Albrighton being benched despite assisting whenever he came on? Playing for a draw and then panicking when we went behind and had to chase the game about 20 times? The Villa cup game? Swansea away where we measured the goalposts before kick off before putting in one of the most inept performances of recent times? Mark fvcking Schwarzer? No of course you don't, you remember the Pearson era as a period of unbridled success. You know why that is? Because you're biased. I'll admit though, the players did not show the shocking attitude they've displayed this season.

So it started last season as he was leading them to the title. Send the ring leading ungreatfull cvnts to train on viccy park. Then get rid in the summer. They don't try put in zero effort and a betraying us all. Fvck them off and play the kids. If the hangers on continue to play up feck them off to.
stox259 Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 I support Leicester City FC. I don't support Claudio FC or any of the players individually. Get the senior figures in a room and sort it and do what's necessary to keep our club in this division. If that's replacing the manager because the players (who we cant change) want it then so be it.

I say again, the overall running of this football club looks to have become a shambles. It's embarrassing But these are the same owners we were all lauding very recently, many quotes about the best owners in the country.You don't get to where they are without knowing your onions and if we can somehow finish 4th bottom( can't even believe I am writing that) I expect major changes at the club from top to bottom. However, sadly I think the first major change will be after Swansea,it would be naive to think they are not preparing to take action just because it's not happened yet. No one should underestimate how big the next 7 days are in relation to where the future of our club lies and the direction it will go in.I am dreading going to the game tomorrow and it just should not be like that.

Guest Mee-9 Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 I just wish we'd have a team who look like they actually give a shit. Letting the fans down massively.

I'll admit though, the players did not show the shocking attitude they've displayed this season. Really agree with this. We have a lot to thank NP for but the problem is, it's a bit like when some dies, after a time, people with rose tinted glasses remember the good times only and the individual concerned obtains cult status. We also had a big flop in form in the Championship and people then were at a loss as to understand why. But there can be only one manager. Many of us on here have differing opinions yet none of us are wrong, it's just opinions, but we can't be all right either. Our players will all have their strong ideas and, as professionals you could argue that they have more of a clue than us. BUT, we only have to think of certain one's of them that may fall into the 'none to bright' catagory, without naming names (but one's just gone to Palace, Doh), to realise why you have to rely on just one head to make the decisions. The pressure is on both Ranieri and the players despite what they say and there is undoubtedly some mischief going on. Tempers under such conditions are bound to flare and is natural. Press rumours of training on midweek game days are an example of where we are supposed to get wound up by the hint that our manager has gone a little bit mad. Or he's lost his temper over a football boot stud issue also apparently. I look at with an open mind at such reporting. If Claudio doesn't think his tactics are getting over to his players sufficiently then surely we should expect him to try and drill it in even more. In other words he's working hard to put things right. If he still thinks they're not grasping it, he's got to change back even at short notice. I've seen calls for a Pullis type manager, but what do we think he does in training to tighten his defences? His relentless drilling is legendry, unpopular with moaning players, but works. As for the boot studs incident I had to laugh, he's obviously demanding that just for a change, Okazaki tries screwing a set in! Players, despite what they think, at this stage have to follow orders and they have a man at the helm who is infinitely more experienced and wise than them. If they don't follow orders then it won't work. Effort now, particularly on the money they're on should be a given and any player like Marhez, who won't work hard and follow orders has to be sacrificed. If you want to leave to go to a better team then put yourself in the shop window. Too late to change managers now I'm, and there's no one decent out there in realty available who'd want to come. If the players are so unhappy with Ranieri, then for a variety of good reasons, they need to graft, sing from the same book and then, when we're finally safe, make their representations. Anything less is totally unacceptable!
ozleicester Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 its all just being done for the movie... (whatever happened to that?)
TrentFox Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Whether we like it or not, football isn't like real life. Only the players can win games. But if they don't, the manager tends to pay the price. If they won't / can't play for him we're basically fecked. He has to go. There is no way out of this with him at the helm, in my head at least. Unless the owners are prepared to accept championship football and let him rebuild. But why would they do that? Insane. The sooner it's brought to an end the better our chances of survival, which look less and less with each insipid and spineless performance.

Whats even worse is, its the more senior players like Drinkwater, running around with his smacked arse face, Vardy, Mahrez for example gets a ballon d'or nomination, this season hes half the player he was. Same with Vardy. Huth and Morgan wear lead boots. Error prone, lack of concentration, quality, you name it. Publically, they get absolutely nothing other than total backing from the manager. Backing when theyre in poor form, backing when theyre being arseholes on twitter, backing when theyre racially abusing people in casinos, backing when theyre being rewarded for their efforts. Contrary to popular belief, hes not so stupid as to take a brilliant winning formula and completely change it into what youre seeing now. People say the team has no identity. It did last season, a bloody successful one, everyone knew about it and no one could stop it. When he does get sacked, which is absolutely inevitable now, id love to hear what some of the "senior" players have to say about this. Usual crap lines that get trotted out are "well we take our share of the blame too"......no you dont. Youre completely absolved of blame because you know the moment you can be bothered to play again, the fans will get your name on their shirt. And youll have your 100k a week to console yourself. Love to know what theyve all fallen out over too. Probably because theyve got some competition for their place in the side and cant be bothered to fight for it. Probably because their win bonus of 10k should really be 15k. But then again no point asking them to give any sort of useful answer anyway. Just starting reading this thread, and what I have to say is this.

He was reminding me that he had told me the players were completely underwhelmed by the appointment and in the early weeks openly disrespected Ranieri. The general feeling is Pearson and team had created such a momentum and well oiled machine in the great escape that they didn't need that much to change( as per Ranieri quotes). It seems that as players opinions of themselves have risen and the Pearson framework has eroded so the disrespect has surfaced again. Personally I find it hard to believe a team can win a league without respect for the manager. Whatever the truth the players are showing a lack of professionalism
fairbanksh Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 The examples of Claudio mismanagement are very concerning It seems the whole club is imploding Im very much aware that many players are underperforming but the facts speak for themselves Players confused by tactical changes Awful transfer activity Team psychologist sacked as not needed ( tell that to the likes of Pulis Big Sam etc Im sure senior players are upset but the buck stops with the manager and the owners
adejo92 Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Yeah, i start to dislike and blame Claudio but then i see his little lost fact in the pre match interview and remember he is a god.
Dr The Singh Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Should it be 'if they don't believe in me, come and talk to me..? Wouldn't any manager want to to discuss this and sort it out, rather then going blind to the chairman, I think this bizarre?

I was wondering if he had suspected/heard rumours of squad members going to the owners and was calling their bluff on it. It's a reallty odd thing to say if it's based on nothing

Wymsey Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 The owners have probably had their word on the current situation in the match day programme tomorrow and urging fans to sing hearts out for the team etc. They've never talked publically to any UK media as far as I’m aware and only communicated to their local Thailand media when things were great last season?
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 12 hours ago, Donut said: Im not so sure that he has a history of leaving clubs due to dressing room unrest, i wouldnt say its a hallmark of his. I would agree with Smudger, his key mistake for me this season was not being innovative enough, early enough. I think he had issues at Roma with Totti and Inter players (including Cambiasso) were rumoured to have fallen out with him over tactics. As per these rumours, those were not confirmed by player or manager so it is hearsay. I cant understand (if true) why he is treating Shakespeare the way he is. For me, Shakey is a massively important part of our club and has had a great influence since he came. Similar to Robertson under O'Neil. Unfortunately, assistants don't really get the credit. If it is true, you can understand players discontent when assistant usually act as a bridge between the players and the manager. Again, if true, he needs to act with a little bit more integrity than try to phase out a good servant at this club. Just sort oft it out guys!
TheUltimateWinner Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 I share the sentiment that Shakespeare was crucial in the transition from Pearson to Ranieri and if he has been alienated then that could contribute to a breakdown between players and manager. No matter what happens, I would like shakey to stay in some capacity, he's been a great part of our back room staff for many seasons now.
