I can't see either to be honest, and from now on in given what's come out recently in the media, it will go either way. Players will either get their act together and try to make a real effort to get ourselves in a better position, or the lacklustre performances & results will continue, in which relegation will be the likely outcome. yes..he should know he's dragging the club down - and since the players are never gunna resign - he should

Hes got his deal woth £25m, his hunger and focus have gone. Some insight, Vardy is acting billy big bollocks, and a lot of players arent having him. In fact most, including Mahrez, Drinkwater, Morgan and Kasper. Theres your poison. Vardy is lacking the professionalism and doesnt have the repsect for Ranieri. Let's call it a disagreement of opinions which got a bit heated ? If the above is true, Ranieri needs to drop him from the team, first team training, the lunch room and everything else. Sorry mate 24 goals in one season does not make you bigger than this club. This is is my concern. Weak management. I blame Ranieri for this alongside Vardy. Yes, a lot will ask who do you replace him with but You've got a guy like Ulloa throwing his toys out the pram to play, Musa who we have not see next to a big man (to accommodate Vardy) and Slimani. Only an idiot (which I have no doubt Vardy is) can do all the hard work to make himself a legend and within 8 months destroy all that. Holding the club to ransom, dropping the level of performance below any standard that could be remotely acceptable and now this. Get out of my club.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Don't know what is wrong with vardy but we did look better when he was suspended... all January we haven't managed a league goal that is just awful given the teams we were playing too

I honestly dont know how Claudio is dealing with it or to what extent or how deep it is for him to know. All I do know is that senior players are not happy about Vardy. Lets face it Vardy is not the brightest or most grounded , the money has gone to his and his wifes head. 120k a week, or £25m plus, plus
Chelve84 Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Problems are bigger than just vardy, it don't explain why they can't pass a ball 5 yards to each other and why CR can't see what is wrong. I think the owners are looking for a new boss now and soon as they get the man they want, I think CR will go and wouldn't surprise me if he is gone after a hammering from man u

Pay the cvnt to stay home and don't play him. Don't even let him train. See how he likes it. By the time his contract is up he will be to old to play. He will have plenty of time then to sort out his books film and magazine interviews.
lifted*fox Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Ranners now down to 3/1 to go next with only Karanka above him at 5/4. Getting some money on at 12/1 is looking pretty good right now. Silver lining and all that jazz.

J.Lisemore Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Tomorrow's game will be the decider I feel. Body language is a big thing to go off, we'll see how the lads turn up.

Morgan and Huth to me look like they've not recovered from last season playing at 130% every game which now looks like it's 70% every game. Another year older.
Leamington Fox Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 I've long felt that none of us really know what has been going wrong; other than something is seriously off. The newspaper reports today ring very true for me, which is really sad. If we can't get Slimani fit soon, I think we are doomed. Vardy is not going to pick up more than a couple more goals this season. Us fans and our owners deserve so much better than what we are being served up this year. Last season's triumph, whilst probably the highlight of my life, only makes this feel worse.
MPH Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 I hate to say it... but one thing Pearson had over Ranieri is his ability to deal with the players. If anyone was acting the billy big balls, he'd nip it in the bud immediately and isolate them from the team. no one was a bigger personality than him and that's what was needed to deflect attention away from the team during the tough times and the run-in. could he of tactically done what ranieri did last season? I doubt it and I'm not saying we should of kept him, but that's the one area that he could deal with- getting the players pulling in the same direction. when the team seems to be pulling in the same direction, ranieri is a masterful genius at making it work but it's very worrying that he seems to be absolutely clueless in how to deal with things at the moment....

Steven Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/feb/03/claudio-ranieri-unrest-leicester-city-players-staff Claudio Ranieri faces growing unrest among Leicester players and staff • Manager has become increasingly distant from backroom staff • Tactics and selection decisions have left squad scratching heads Claudio Ranieri has made changes to try to get a reaction from his Leicester City team who are short of confidence and only two points clear of the relegation zone. Friday 3 February 2017 22.30 GMT Last modified on Friday 3 February 2017 22.32 GMT Claudio Ranieri believes the promise he made to Leicester City’s owners at the start of last season to stay with the club in the event of relegation should mean that his loyalty is repaid during a hugely disappointing second campaign, yet there is growing unrest among players and staff about the team’s predicament and the Italian’s management style in the face of a crisis. Although there is no suggestion that Ranieri’s job is under immediate threat, the Premier League champions are now just two points clear of the relegation zone after winning only one of their past eight league matches and the spotlight is starting to fall on the manager as much as his underperforming players. In a season that has badly unravelled, the Guardian has learned that Ranieri has become increasingly distant from members of his backroom team and is in danger of losing his grip on the dressing room, where some of the tactical changes and selection decisions have left players scratching their heads. Ranieri has made alterations in a desperate attempt to try to engender a reaction from a team who are clearly struggling and short of confidence, yet players have been left bewildered at times. Sportblog Jesus makes mark as Leicester hurtle towards drop – Football Weekly Extra The podders look back on an intriguing midweek in the Premier League. Will Arsenal bounce back at Chelsea – and will Leicester turn back the clock against Manchester United? Listen Team spirit has also suffered and that is not just a product of poor results. It is understood there was a strange incident after one match when the players were told that their opponents had been briefed beforehand about problems with egos and bad attitudes in the Leicester squad. That story caused a storm because it was alleged that the information had initially come via someone in the Leicester camp. Ranieri is 65 years old and has been managing long enough to know that it is never a smooth ride when results turn, but he badly needs to galvanise a group of players who are in danger of becoming the first top-flight champions to be relegated since Manchester City in 1938. Leicester play Manchester United at home on Sunday and then host Derby County in an FA Cup fourth-round replay on Wednesday, yet the critical game in everyone’s mind is the trip to Swansea City on Sunday week. Swansea are now behind Leicester only on goal difference. The Midlands club have lost their past three league games and are yet to score a top-flight goal in 2017, with Ranieri now second favourite to be the next Premier League manager dismissed. “Everything is possible,” Ranieri said, when it was put to him that there was a feeling in football that he was “unsackable” because of last season. Asked whether he felt he should not be under pressure given his extraordinary title success, Ranieri replied: “Look, it’s not my philosophy to think about this. If my thoughts go there, I remember what was said by the vice-chairman [Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha] the first time I met him: ‘If we go down, you stay with us?’ And I said: ‘Yes.’ Now why [should] I have to think about this? I’m thinking to fight and to survive, that’s it.” Although Ranieri maintained ahead of the United game that his playing style is “always the same”, he has chopped and changed the side and altered the system far more this season, on occasions at extremely short notice. When Leicester travelled to Copenhagen in the Champions League, the first anyone knew that they were playing a 3-4-3 system was less than two hours before kick-off. In the 3-0 Premier League defeat at home against Chelsea last month, players were visibly confused at times as to what was being asked of them. The following week Ranieri opted for a midfield diamond against Southampton, when Leicester were again beaten 3-0. There is a feeling that Leicester have moved away from what made them successful last season, becoming too preoccupied with opponents rather than playing to their own strengths. For all that, there is no escaping the fact that the players must also take their share of the blame. Key individuals have not come close to hitting the standards they set last season. Riyad Mahrez, the PFA player of the year last season, has been unrecognisable from the winger who tormented defenders. Jamie Vardy has scored only five times. Danny Drinkwater’s form has suffered, and Wes Morgan and Robert Huth are a long way from being that impenetrable partnership at the back. The bottom line is that everyone needs to improve, from Ranieri to the players. “I know only one way: if you are a loser in this moment, you go down,” the Leicester manager said. “If you are a fighter in the bad moment you show your strength. Now is our moment to show our strength.”
surrifox Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 All I can see in my minds eye is the prawn sandwich munchers singing " you're getting sacked in the morning " if we go behind . We can't have that happen .
SecretPro Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Bench Vardy immediately. He's been dogshit anyway and we all knew he was a ****, just accepted him as one of our own.

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 10 hours ago, Cardiff_Fox said: Oliver Kay from the Times reporting that Ranieri got rid of the psychologist and any kind of support in that regard at the club in September Excuse the pun but that's mental. Im a big believer that the psychological side of things - whether it be life, or football are all important. If this true I don't agree with it despite up to this point giving Ranieri the benefit of the doubt in what seems now to be him Vs two faced, lazy overpaid backstabbing brats. Whatever the truth is it needs to be sorted pronto - understatement of the week given today's results!
