Guest Col city fan Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Why would you want to give it to Shakey? He's there at the moment and don't seem to be having any impact whatsoever.

Plays good football, has some steel about him, is performing miracles at unstable Leeds and Swansea have gone from mid-table to relegation fights after sacking him
RowlattsFox Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Gary Rowett would be my choice out of those out of work, would be a risk but I'd prefer that to a journeyman like Pardew. Mark Warburton wouldn't suprise me, wasn't there talk of interest before we went for Ranieri? Was poor at Rangers though. If we were to sack Ranieri, I don't think we'd go for anyone in a job.
simon789us Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 It ain't going to happen club won't sack Claudio

Gerard Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Steven Gerrard would be a decent choice. I know he's inexperienced but he knows the game and would get instant respect from the players.

I wouldn't blame the players 100% for not respecting Ranieri. He must have acted in a way that made the players lose respect for him, it's a two way street.
Ricey Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Whoever it might be, I just hope we bring someone in who has an identity and thinks long-term. Ranieri was never that man. Pearson knows how to set up a club behind the scenes and create unity, but he is an awful tactician and I couldn't be doing with his mood swings again. I'd like to think that the club have been extensively researching replacements over the last few months but I'm not holding my breath.

norwichfox Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Chances are that no ewmployed manager would want to come her unless they were in an equal or worse position. Mancini would be a good fit imo, my heart says Shakespeare, but head says frying pan...fire. Wouldn't want Gerrard or Giggs, Gerrard has zero experience and Giggs sat next to the worst manager United have had for decades as an assistant. Pulis would sort us out at the back, but we need to hit goals as we are in a position where we need to win 6 of our 13 games and maybe draw 2 others to be safe and I just don't envisage that happening. Can forsee us being in a similar league position to Villa next season, looking over our shoulder trying to avoid Div 1.

I don't because he is not good for this club, he is not good as a manager and yet I feel he still disrespects the fans in his press conferences and interviews by not calling a spade a spade. I don't think he looks after this club and I don't this persona that butter wouldn't melt. If people disagree, that's fine respect him. Too many stories are coming out of his treatment of players and/or coaches which call his real life persona into question. I'll have my views on him and respect those of others. Think there's more to this than a lot of people will think, personally.

Guest Danny Clender Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 No? not happy with that? You're right, long term and football management, daft concept thesedays.
Koke Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 7 hours ago, Mickyblueeyes said: Again, fair enough but... 1. Yes, he was manager while winning us the league but the coaching staff, players, sport scientist were all involved. They (apart from the players) got no respect and/or gratitude for what they did; 2. We have always been a happy club for me. It's our flipping club, we were laughing and joking down in league one! But again, point 1, answers this in someways too; 3. This is why irks me about him. Shakey who has done wonders for this club from a coaching perspective has been treated like dirt on the bottom of his shoe. His treatment is on par with a new team leader coming in and being told he has to work with and/or deal with the existing lot. He agrees to get the job but slowly reduces the teams involvement to get them to jump himself. John Percy who reported this is taken as gospel and rightly so as more often than not, he is correct. Why not the big shout and screaming for the treatment of Shakespeare or the sports scientist who have been treated like dirt by mr nice guy?: 4. A great media persona doesn't mean anything if you spend your entire career alienating your inner circle. Remember this is a man who pissed Totti off so much, he contemplated leaving Roma - its happen this season again, players questioning what they deem as "lies"; 5. Ok, I'll give him that ? I have my opinion on ranieri. I don't expect everyone to agree with it but there are reasons. Too many fall outs and too many disgruntled players have played under him. This can't be a coincidence on each and every occasion. I also don't like the way he continues to believe he is right when after 40 years of getting it wrong (except maybe 2 seasons), he is reluctant to listen to those around him. Anyway, my "disrespect " for ranieri is the least of Leicester fans problems. Maybe if we got over the fact that some people (and I am pretty sure I am not the only one) do not like him, we would come to the realisation that this club has been dismantled of all things that make it "club" and are in the dire shits. Is Pearson a better manager than Ranieri in your opinion?

Good record in England and Scotland - and an ex-City man. Also named back two of Clint Hill and Phillipe Senderos this season, a pairing somehow older and worse than Morgan and Huth.

As an outsider you'd say the man that won the top league is with Leicester is better. For me I'd say Pearson as he's managed to improve our club year upon year during his two stints as manager. Whether he'd have continued to improve us is another matter. In terms of his absolute control of the club and having a tight knit club with everyone pulling in the same direction through both bad times and good it's not even a competition. Pearson's managerial career is still very much in it's infancy though, if he is unable to replicate what he managed at Leicester then you'd have to question whether it was a one off and special circumstances. I'd love to see what Pearson could have achieved with Kanté in midfield instead of GTF or Dean Hammond.
Thracian Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 I don't get all this continued praise/respect/confidence in Ranieri. Last season's been and gone. Whatever Ranieri's contribution to that incomparable success for our club it's been alluded to many times and he's been well congratulated. The 2016/2017 campaign was a totally new chapter and a manager starting from the marvellous position of having a champion team, plenty of money to strengthen well-known weaknesses, minimal departures and totally supportive owners from where I sit. And what has he made of a situation some managers never get the chance to enjoy? He's made a mess, that's what. Not a mistake or two. But a complete mess that'll take more cleaning up than the Torrey Canyon spillage, in a sporting sense..

But you look at the clubs Ranieri has managed and the clubs Pearson has managed and there's only one winner. Sven waa utter shit for us and is has been a fraud for a decade but when it's all said and done his managerial career is vastly superior to Pearson's. That said, if i was gonna rebuild a club I'd hire Pearson before Sven or Ranieri.
Outfox the Fox Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Do people remember the story going around when Pearson went, that Rudkin was talking up his mate, Mark Warburton, as a possible replacement? I think they both played for the City Youth team in the late 70's, under Frank McLintock. Well, obviously Warburton is now available and we might be in need of a new Manager soon! I would imagine you'd get good odds on him at the moment. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/five-candidates-replace-claudio-ranieri-9806251
Wymsey Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Wouldn't want him tbh, he has sounded quite arrogant at Rangers and not getting along with chairman etc.

Seemed a decent manager at Brentford but then his struggle at Rangers has raised eyebrows. He's left them in 3rd place 27 points behind Celtic!
