Whether it's Claudio's fault or the players fault probably doesn't really matter. What matters is that it seems unlikely that Claudio can get us out of this mess. Changing the manager is about the only thing that might shake things up. Whether it would save us from the drop, who knows, but if the owners leave things as they are I can't see us staying in the prem.

This is how i feel. I think they must act, and any delay will only worsen our plight. This has gone on for too long now, hes had time to asffect change, and hasn't succeeded in doing so. If we stick with him we're gone.

[Guest Lako42]

Correct decision and shows at least a bit of loyalty does exist in a game that is now shallow and fickle beyond comprehension. 

 

As for back or sack him, they are backing him as they haven't sacked him. They dont need to come out and make a silly little statement for anyone, they also arent the type, thank ****.

 

Nobody other than Ranieri deserves to take their place in the dugout in Sevilla, he has earnt that right without a doubt.

If we do go down I'd go all out for either Gary Rowett or Sean Dyche. 

 

Burnley will stay up but hopefully we could tempt him with many pound notes in his back pocket and a big budget to get us back up.

Don't see Dyche coming to us if Burnley stay up. With the amount of players who will inevitably leave, i don't actually see us as a team that will go straight back up.

 

We couldn't even establish ourselves as a secure prem team after winning the bloody thing. Bob all hope of it happening in the next few years.

I agree, Ranieri will take us down. With that in mind, i would probably keep him and get rid of most the squad.

 

Can't see the grass being greener with any manager that will come and take over us in the Championship.

Why not get rid of him now and keep the squad? Watch how our players 'miraculously' start playing like champions again under a new man in charge. Could it be any worse? ..and you never know...maybe we would score a goal again this season.

Sad times but I fear it's our only hope now.

And who do you propose we get? with our situation we need a relegation specialist.

Eddie Howe in before it's too late

Sorry but this relegation specialist is a myth - the managers badged as such are just decent managers with a style that gets results at a time when they are needed. We just need a manager with a clear vision who can bring a bit of harmony to proceedings - win games you stay up. I'd go for Mancini or Monk longer term.

It only shows, that foofball fans in Italy are as fickle as here.

I can assure they they are much much more fickle than we are!

I remember an Italian football correspondent being interviewed on BBC radio Leicester when Ranieri was appointed. She said that after a year the players become confused by tactical changes and disillusioned under his management. This article seems to point out the exact same thing. 

A bit pathetic giving her a load of credit for a great prediction when essentially her feeling was Ranieri was a negative appointment.

 

Regardless of what happens this season he was an inspired choice of manager.

 

This journalist didn't exactly predict we'd have the best season in our history in his first year did she?

No, its also a manager who is willing to take on a team in this situation and is capable of making improvements.

 

I appreciate all managers are capable of making improvements but how many 'decent' managers will be willing to take on this club. Makes me laugh people naming premier league managers who they think will drop everything and take over the titanic.

So that's no a relegation specialist - it's a manager who can only get a job at a certain level and is capable of getting a few results - If Conte turned up I'm sure he'd be a relegation specialist aswell. I totally get your point, the point I'm making is that if we can get a longer term appointment we should. Your right about unrealistic suggestions - Howe and Dyche are most likely unrealistic. The only two would be Wagner and Monk but even then it's really needs to be pre Sevilla - else we could be swapping places. 

[norwichfox]

I'd prefer a vote of confidence from a reliable source....then we'd know for sure we would get a new manager

 

"as understood by Sportsmail, that the players are close to losing faith with Ranieri’s approach. " is about the same as someone saying "now listen.....I'm going to give you my best guess, I know fcuk all"...

 

The "close to" bit cracks me up the 5-0 defeat by Porto following the 2-1 defeat by Sunderland was probably the last straw with most of the squad, for a) Not being played and b) Not having a clue about the tactics employed..

I suppose by Relegation specialist i mean somebody who has a proven record of being able to keep a club up. It is at this point i would usually say the name Big Sam however even he may have bitten off more than he can chew this time.

 

I do agree with what you say, a 'relegation specialist' might keep us up this year but then won't be any good next year thus will need replacing. We need a manager who is capable of keeping us up but also who can build a team around him and establish us as a secure premier league team.

 

At this moment in time i can't think of any manager.

[J.Lisemore]

The owners don't really need to say anything, the writing is clearly on the wall. Unless we produce a miracle and actually win our next 2 games, he's gone.

John Percy also wrote an article yesterday saying as much and we know he knows his onions.

When he leaves them they'll sink like a stone back to where they came from. 

[Gerard]

We're an absolute shadow of the team we were last season.

 

Ranieri gave me a season I never thought I'd live to see but his decisions are baffling now and he doesn't seem to have the support of the players or coaching staff. For me I can't come to any other conclusion than that he needs to leave and I say that with 100% conviction. It's clear as day that he knows this himself and it's obvious he's hanging around waiting for his pay off. I just hope that we are speaking to candidates behind the scenes and will pull the trigger when it's all in place. We're not even in the bottom three yet but it feels inevitable and only a matter of time.

[reynard]

Will he still get "this vote of confidence" if we are bottom come the end of the Swansea game which could well happen?

[Fox 4 Life]

It's the mail so I wouldn't take it as gospel but if there is any truth this completely points to a Mourinho type situation at Chelsea and the only way to fix it is replace him, ASAP

[foxy boxing]

the dreaded 'vote of confidence' is a sure sign the owners will act soon!. it's unlikely Claudio will still be here next season! I can only wish Claudio well and will never forget what he has done for us, whether he stays or goes

Burnley will stay up but hopefully we could tempt him with many pound notes in his back pocket and a big budget to get us back up.

If we appoint Sean Dyche I'm burning the stadium to the ground

 

Although watching the gravelly ****'s head explode trying to explain how he can't be expected to compete with Burton Albion's financial prowess with only £60m worth of strikers would be entertaining at least

Who is giving her a load of credit? I'm saying that it appears that she's not the only person that thinks that way. She works in Italian football, I don't even watch it. Surely you can see why I'd at least acknowledge her opinion.

I was speaking to a Blues fan yesterday and he was pretty luke warm about Gary Rowett.  I'm not excited by that.  If we go down and Burnley don't, there's no way Dyche would come to us.
