STUHILL Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Just now, milney2i3 said: Ranieri can only pick the team. The rest is up to the players!! I think that is what he is getting wrong now though. I really pray he makes changes to the back 4 against Derby. I have sympathy for him, over how poorly the players are playing, but I can't understand why after 6 months, we still have the same back 4. Needs to man up and make some changes!
l444ry Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 2 minutes ago, Bunyip said: Yes it is. There is no comparison to the way we fought under Pearson even when we were losing. Compare that fight and attitude to what you saw today. There is no way will we stay up under Ranieri whether it's his fault or not. You are stating an opinion, I'm giving you a fact. There is no argument to be had.

He picks the team, he motivates the players, he makes the subs, he picks the tactics, he inspires the players, he chooses a style of play.... It's more than just "picking the team"

That's last season, it's gone. Chelsea didn't think twice about sacking Mourinho. Rewind to mid-2015. What was the most amazing thing you ever thought you would see in your football-watching lifetime? You've got to learn to hold on to the good things, otherwise you become Roy Keane - successful but utterly miserable. No disrespect at all, but Chelsea are a big club, with ambitions and resources way beyond Leicester. Just not comparable. Anyway, people hate Chelsea, they love Leicester - mostly because the club has a soul.

A quality man or two at the back and we should be good as a squad. Yes and we should have done that in January.
GavParket Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 9 months on from winning the league, suddenly Claudio has gone from legend to villain. Stick with it, he will turn this around. From following this club for over 35 years, just support the lads and the rest will take care of itself.

Oh I never thought we'd win the top flight ever. But this season we are bad. Worse than when Pearson was here. We lack everything. Football is a results business and this season has been a disgrace.
splinterdream Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 TBH we don't know the half of it. Ranieri may have asked for players and the club haven't delivered, he may have tried to impose a philosophy that was above and beyond the footballing abilities of our squad, the coaches may have let him down, they're may be in team bitching over money causing fractions in the team. Non of this would really be Claudio's fault directly but as manager he has to take the fall because the only thing that can bring focus back to the team is a new manager with a new philosophy imo.

Chelve84 Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 5 minutes ago, turtle2000 said: Not a Leicester fan (so sue me), but I looked at this site to see if it was actually true that some Foxes supporters are in favour of the club sacking Ranieri. Didn't think it could possibly be true, but seems that it is. With apologies to those many, many supporters with reasonable attitudes (that owners should come out in support of Ranieri, there needs to be more clarity, there needs to be a change of tactics etc etc), those of you calling for Ranieri to be sacked are the most miserable, deluded, fairweather fans football has ever seen. Reality check: (1) Leicester is a mediocre team (I support Swansea, I know about mediocre teams) that is precisely where it should be this season - the lower reaches of the Premiership. That's the club's natural place; it's obviously never going to be a top 6 club. (2) Somehow, by some sublime alchemy, last season, YOU WON THE ****ING PREMIER LEAGUE. (3) To repeat: LAST SEASON, YOU WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE. (4) That achievement lies somewhere among the most remarkable football stories of all time - probably in the top ten. Have Granada ever won La Liga? Offenheim the Bundesliga? Of course they haven't. Teams like Leicester City simply don't win national championships, let alone the richest national championship in the world. (5) Nothing remotely that good will ever happen to Leicester City again. Ever, ever again. Rather than marvelling at this, and basking in the glory of it and looking forward to a Champions' League (YES. CHAMPIONS' LEAGUE. A COMPETITION YOU WILL NEVER BE IN AGAIN) second round tie against Sevilla, and appreciating the fact that you are now an incredibly well-liked club, youse lot are talking about sacking the guy who made the miracle possible. If you sack Claudio Ranieri, you will not only tarnish last season's achievement within Leicester City FC, but your reputation outside in the wider world of football will go from one of the most beloved teams in the land (hard to remember any team that has enjoyed the general goodwill Leicester have had since last season) to the most hated club in Britain. The most soulless, least grateful, most vilified. Enjoy the miracle that has happened to Leicester City. Who gives a sh*t if you play Championship football next season? It's just football. Last season you were witness to a biblical miracle, way beyond 'just football'. Jesus wept. Ffs, you have a great club, don't ruin it. Bore off mate, go on your own forum and complain that you shouldn't have sacked the American Bob Bradley. We pay money every week to watch that shite. clueless.... you just want us to keep him so you get easy 3 points next week ?

Ffs, you have a great club, don't ruin it. That seems to be precisely the attitude we have within the club and great percentage of fans (till the past few weeks). For me it's a terrible attitude, why not strive to be the best you can rather just go through the motions because something good happened in the recent past.

I don't think anyone thinks he's a villain, it's just obvious that this can't be turned around. I'm sure Chelsea fans thought the same with Mourinho, we're not Arsenal fans after all

Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 20 minutes ago, Bunyip said: Well with a new manager we could have a least a bit of hope . With Ranieri you know we are going down, it's as simple as that. I agree but we should've done this much earlier. The warning signs have been there since October we haven't just woke up and turned shit. I would love to know how many "ranieri stays until he chooses" supporters remain now.

Whenever do fans know more than half of what is going on? Your just speculating with failing to sign CR's wanted players, team harmoney with money, coaches letting him down etc Why do people find it hard to recognise how poor we are playing which is a team CR is putting out and how he is unable to affect a game with his management rather than clutching at straws with speculation for him to remain in charge!?

Fair point...panic at this stage as we have 14 to go.. it it may seem irrational to some but having seen so many relegations and promotions in the last 40 years I tend not to have the view that is a complete disaster....yes, it would be bloody ridiculous and so Leicester City but 132 years to win the league means that I would back Claudio over every single player even if it meant championship football !
