But as I mentioned with Pearson's first sacking, this club has had similarly 'dishonourable' and 'shameful' removals in the past under the same owners before we got to the Prem, what's the difference now? So, not everybody in Leicester/Leicestershire agrees with you. Difference? HUUUUUGE. This is the guy who epitomizes one of the biggest fairytales in international football history. Who cared about Pearson outside the skirts of Leicester?

We were only heading in one direction. It's very sad but the situation hasn't left them much choice. If a new manager gets a tune out of what has been a woeful bunch of players all season then it will further justify the decision. It's like a divorce. Initially it might seem the painful thing to do, but may well be right and necessary to move on. Honourable men stick to their word when given.

Why do you think I care, for even a minute, what the international footballing community thinks about Leicester? A manager should only be shown respect if he looks good in front of the international community? Nah that doesn't fly with me. I watched us have a roundabout manager policy for years, watched the club sink to its lowest point ever. A season in the Championship wouldn't of phased me, again I would of kept Claudio. What p!sses me right off is someone who's had an interest from afar for two years tell the people who sat and watched us be relegated to League One that they're unloyal. Those who think like that, in my opinion, can do one. Leicester City is what matters to me, since I was a kid Leicester City has been what matters to me. Football fans in Italy, America, Egypt and India, who didn't even know the name Leicester two years ago, wouldn't have a care in the world about Leicester if we went down. So why should I care what they think?
justfoxes Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 Something else must have gone on that we don't know about the press have had a big part of this with their stories of disaster and woes Fuchs knows what's gone on player power or what but all I can say is THANKYOU CLAUDIO FOR ALL THE MEMORIES THE DREAMS COME TRUE AND THE TITLE GOOD LUCK IN YOUR NEXT PROJECT !!

It's about a story of English and foreign players and an Italian coach who have defied the odds and gained respect of most who watched them on TV screens all over the world. It was an inspiration to us all. See? .. it's NOT about YOU.

It was Leicester fans and former players who were putting their own money in back in 2004 to keep the whole club from vanishing, so yeah the fans probably do deserve some credit. My great nan's ashes were spread in the memorial garden at the stadium. This club is more than 'the story' and it's insulting to those who have legitimate emotional ties to the club to make out all that matters is the two years that you decided to pick it up. If these people feel like Ranieri should of gone, I don't agree with them but that's their opinion and it's happen. You have no business calling them disloyal.
The Doctor Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 54 minutes ago, Jakemoore said: Anyone claiming that they would rather go down with Claudio in charge than stay up without him is either deluded or just playing silly bolloxs. As some have said already, there's a big difference between wanting him gone and appreciating that he had to go. If it's deluded to want to not draw out the suffering (let's be fair, this next appointment will be terrible long term and have us back here in 12 months time) then I don't want to be rational.

Shaggy Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 We have to be honest as well, CR and his team (including Rudkin) made some shocking signings,and I would guess that those signings would not get a return of a third of what the owners paid for them
justfoxes Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 Now this is fuching ridiculous gutter press I'm so hoping this is untrue I for one don't want this man back at our club,thanks Nige for what you did for us but it's time to move on !! http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/591015/Claudio-Ranieri-Nigel-Pearson-Leicester-news
tetly Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 We never handed the success that came overnight and were not well enough prepared. If we stay up this season and manage to appoint the right manager we will be ok long term. We have some good young players and great owners
Guest bennytwohats Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 So much justification based on business metrics. Why do you even bother with football? To support a business? Taking this decision, for me, is just as damning to our club as relegation - that's not about money, or results, it's about integrity.

FuchingKante Posted 24 February 2017 Posted 24 February 2017 It had to happen or we'd be relegated. Some of his decisions this season have been clueless and I'm not sure what some of you would have preferred to have happened. Go down then sack him between seasons? Or let him stay as long as he wants, regarless of results? Unfortunately how ever much of a legend of our club he is, no man is bigger than the club and this move was inevitable.
sylofox Posted 24 February 2017 Posted 24 February 2017 Way to much sentiment in here. Last seasons gone wages and bonuses' paid in full. From a personal point many thanks for that CR. But this season we have been beyond awful and something had to give. Can anyone name a club that's sacked players for bad results? I bet we can all name a club that's sacked a manager for it. I also bet we can name a club that won the league and sacked the manager the following season. It was so obvious he was a goner it was just a case of when. I also don't get people that think because we won the league it's ok to go down now. I'm sure we would have all loved for him to still be here. But not at the expense of relegation.

Ranieri isn't bigger than the club and he was taking us down. Are the players? Seems that we are accepting their performances.

Pasty1 Posted 24 February 2017 Posted 24 February 2017 Should have done the right thing and stuck with Claudio..... Yes even if we were relegated! Pearson's sacking was completely different, following what happened in Thailand. We are the laughing stock of football!

I think youre being rather naive if you think sacking Ranieri will resolve the issue of poor recruitment He's the manager, he might not have hens picked every player. But he sure as hell would be involved in what positions and what type of player he wanted. Did he but a 10, no. New right back, no. Quality CB, no. Three positions almost everyone highlighted as needing looking at preseason. The type of players we brought in, mostly didn't seem to fit in terms of style for what we needed. Mendy was nothing like Kante, never been a ball winner so why buy him. Why buy Slimani when we didn't play with a big man and had Ulloa as back up. Maybe the days of good buys are gone, but least we should expect is a round peg in a round hole.

It would be even worse, double jeopardy, if the club goes down (very likely).

Did they expect him to copy last season?? He led them to a deserved premier league trophy which gifted the shareholders with Champions League football this season!! If they had done what was expected and just managed to "tread water" last season it would be business as usual, he'd have five more seasons of it. It seems that because they over-achieved last season he is being punished now! No offence to Leicester fans, last year was well fought and well deserved, they got off to a flying start and momentum carried them through. It wasn't world class football and at times it wasn't pretty, but every match they played the whole team just seemed to WANT it more than the other guys. Ranieri ignited and stoked that fire, and now they've binned him because Leicester are playing mediocre football...as was expected of them last year. The premier league is a disgrace. Disgraceful, after all he's done for the club! Those players and fans who called for his head should now hang theirs in shame!This from Ranieri:'I could leave last season, I won the title and I had something with other teams but I wanted to stay here because I knew it was a difficult year.'I came here to build, to build something good for Leicester, for everybody. I keep going, I maintain my mind in this way. I forget the title and I want to achieve something good for the fans, chairman and the city.' Disgusting. He took them to heights they could never have dreamed of. 6 months ago he was a god to them and now something resembling reality has hit the club they dump the man who has given the fans more to cheer about than anyone who came before him. Funny thing is, if this happened to another club similar to Leicester, most of us would probably be saying the same thing. But reading some of the comments people were leaving online today was shocking! Last year everyone wanted us to win the title. Now everyone wants us to get relegated!
Arcs past Posted 24 February 2017 Posted 24 February 2017 I couldn't be happier with the yesterday's news. It was like Brexit all over again.
