Chico1958 Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 About time for all concerned Pearson can continue looking for work other than waiting on the phone We can stop calling for the manager to be sacked The players can either do it for themselves or the club He will know the people who maty have caused unrest and deal with it knowing he has six months at least The coaching staff will need to knuckle down The players know he's not going anywhere We can get back to talking about something else apart from "Ranieri's got to go " Let's just get on with supporting the the people wearing blue ...................... What ever they do

I do wonder whether some of those applauding stuff like this, will continue to do so if we keep playing so poorly. I'm nervous. I've watched City try to get back into the top flight for too many years for Ranieri to fook it all up this season. I sorely hope all those placing their faith in the man, THIS season, are correct to do so. I expect fully that if they aren't, they'll twist it round to say he should have gone anyway. At least the Thais have said something though. About time. Aaah, the prelude to i told you so, like the dreaded vote of confidence, it is very likely to end with i told you so. Good work fella. For what its worth i want him to stay and think this is a good thing. And surprisingly if it turns out shit, i might not be happy about it. Would that make me a turncoat? Or would it make me willing to give him more time than you have. How ever in true double dare style i guess i can also say i told you so if it works out? I guess you wont celebrate if we start winning, thats how this works isnt it?
justfoxes Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 I just hope for Claudio's sake if they do decide to replace him then they should ask for him to resign rather than sack him after what he's achieved with us last season !? Lets keep him at legend status and not embarrassing our legend by sacking him !!

As fans, we just desperately want our form to improve again, receive signs that things won't end up in a dreadful relegation. That goes for you, me, Col city fan and everyone else here. If we end up going down, there's no guarantee the result wouldn't have been the same with another manager at the helm. Likewise, if we manage to stay up, it will not necessarily mean that hanging on to Ranieri will have been the right decision.

Spiritwalker Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 Now they've come out with this statement I fully expect CR to be here until the end of the season whatever the results, so let's get behind him and the team, and hope for the best.
Dr The Singh Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 It's what I expected, the owners are the decision makers, let's hope, there are 3 worser clubs then us
HybridFox Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 anyone see the answers he gave to the fried chicken question today? made me chuckle, the side of Ranieri we all love. Let's just hope something happens on the pitch though!

NeilLCFC Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 7 hours ago, ealingfox said: That's it then, we are down. Gutted to have only lasted 3 seasons up after waiting 10 years to get back, particularly after a lot of that time was so wildly successful. Lack of ambition was clear last summer in hindsight and its now proven just how much luck was involved in last season. We do not have football people at the top of the club and without Pearson they've been exposed for that, not for the first time. Without Pearson we'd most likely have gone the same way as QPR.
char123 Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 Yeah, that's it, we all stop going to games, tell the players to stop trying and resign ourselves to going down and when we do nothing will ever be the same again, that's it then oh well. And yeah its so gutting isn't it, I mean its not like we achieved anything, I wish Pearson was still here to apparently control everything and tell everyone what to do because the club has clearly fallen apart and done nothing in his absence, we are totally exposed laughing stocks who will fall into oblivion. Jeeez, I mean I know getting relegated isn't ideal but bleeding heck it wouldn't be the end of the world, the club would still be around and we would still have WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE. Honestly coming onto these boards is so annoying, its like everyone is almost happy that they have something to moan and whine about again. WE WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE, I'm only 24 and so supposed to be obsessed with the premier league but honestly if we are playing the championship next season so bloody what, we won the premier league under a manager who absolutely 100% deserves to be backed, even if we go down. Some people are acting like we are 15 points adrift, a couple of wins and we will be back on track, have some faith and more importantly have some respect for the greatest manager in our historyaah thats it. your only 24, youre a plastic fan Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

volpeazzurro Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 3 hours ago, Babylon said: I don't think that's fair, he's been slaughtered not for trying a new formation, but for trying about 4 different ones over a 5 game period. He's not given any of them a chance to actually work. The chopping and changing and then going back to 442 signifies he has no idea what the problem is or how to fix it. If you think 433 will fix the issues you stick with it and give the players time to get used to it. Look at our switch to 3 at the back during the great escape. There were some crap performances and losses to start with. But we stuck with it as we thought that would cure the issue and it did finally. That's what people want, someone with a clear plan to try and alter things for the better. At least have the conviction in your own beliefs if you think it will solve the issue. The actual game plan, how we press, how players attack and defend has remained absolutely unchanged from what I can see. Almost no attempt to tweak our style. That could mean a 442 with attacking full backs, players switching wings, attackers being told to take up different positions etc. For Christ's sake, these are supposed to be professional footballers, they have nothing else in their tiny minds to concentrate on all week, week after week . If remotely any good they should be able to adapt to a different strategy with a weeks notice for every different game if required. Let's think about it. If in a 4 week period as a supposed top team you have to face such obscurely different teams like Barcelona, Liverpool, West Bromwich and Burnley, would you set your team up in the same rigid way because your team is slavishly comfortable with it? I admit I'm being pedantic and using extremes, but professionals at this level should be able to cope with different tactical changes within a single match and do as they are instructed, let alone changing with a weeks notice. Some of them (a few) have believed the hype around them and actually think that they are more than one season wonders and journeymen and don't have to graft at full performance anymore. I feel very sorry for the one's tarnished by the few. Schmeichel appears very unhappy and in the days of Walsh and Taggart I think a bit more than a few words would have been had. They shouldn't need a 5 game period to adapt.
ktfox59 Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 Some one may have made this point before, and I've not read whole thread, but when people note that he was assured his job were we to go down, that was on the expectancy based upon the season before with the"great escape" Surely the owners ambitions given last season were a little higher than being possibly relegated the following season. Surely he hasn't been given the same guarantees out of loyalty? Are the owners really not concerned about relegation? Would Ranieri want to manage in the championship anyway, if by freak of miracle the owners didn't terminate his contract?

Foxxed Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Vichai asked Ranieri to stay even if we got relegated at the start of last season. He said he aims to treat his businesses like a family. You don't really sell your father. I would of course sell some of my lesser favoured uncles to stay in the premeriship. But then I'm a different man.

We got our success early now the short-term, short memorists want another change. If he's sacked I'd love to see their reactions when we appoint Bob fvcking Bradley.

(A deal would be done behind the scenes re his compensation as technically resigning would mean he is entitled to nowt) Best possible outcome. I'd like Claudio to be treated with respect and dignity.
roblcfc84 Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 I read the statement as for now! We are behind him at present. It's being used as a way to galvanise the club and players to get unite and get results. If this doesn't yield better performances they will have to move him on.

I don't think you have really picked up what loyalty means to this family ,,,,, claudio will not be sacked during the season even if we lose every game between now and end of season then in the summer they will review
