An official goodbye before kick off at one of our matches where they give him flowers and whatever. Maybe last game of the season against Bournemouth. He deserves to get a goodbye from the fans in a packed KP Would you come back for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they should of offered him a director's post of some kind, keeping him at the club would have been a positive thing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 We sang his name at the end of the game Wednesday and he waved back His statement makes me really sad but we have been shagged by managers walking out on us in the past and no one cared about our well being then so it's just the way it is im afraid. No room for sentiment. a real shame they couldn't find a way of him leaving by mutual consent. Now I fear the weirder stuff about his behaviour will inevitably come out to defend the clubs action and detract from his achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 I called for him to go. I was sure (and still am) that if he'd have stayed we would most certainly have gone down. Now its happened and the dust has settled, I cant help but feel a complete selfish, fickle cvnt. I feel like i've fallen for Sky's plan. The plan that convinces us all that Premier League football is the be all and end all and the money they can generate for you trumps everything else. Thinking about it all day and now reading that statement, I now know that I would much prefer to have stood by Claudio, gone down and kept him with us in the Championship. Fvck the Prem. Fvck the money. We've let ourselves down with this and I'm genuinely sad that Claudio Ranieri is no longer our manager. I was wrong to want him gone and i'll forever regret that this ever happened at Leicester City Football Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheppyFox Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 Feel for him, those ****ing players have nothing to hide behind now though and his removal in my opinion will keep us up, should top get it right with their new selection. It isn't easy, right or fair, but the players have won. All the best Claudio, you truly are lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Ranieri is to Leicester what Shankley is to Liverpool, what Clough is to forest, fergie to Man united his legend will rightly grow and grow. In years to come when your grandchildren ask you about the great man hopfully you will remember that you spent the last few months of his reign moaning and crying like a little girl and demanding he was sacked because he lost a few games.

justfoxes Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 He should publicly come out name and shame those spoiled brats who went behind his back and caused a mini revolution,because those spoiled brats if it can be proven talked their co players to actually throw games by underachieving to get Claudio sacked! I feel so sorry for Claudio for the way this gentleman has been treated by a small amount of spoiled over paid under achieving brats,if proven then the Premier League must step in and fine these individuals ! This is the first time I have really thought our owners of letting both Claudio and the supporters down and I know the Claudio out brigade will disagree but this gentleman of football was poorly treated by players he kept faith with and made them Premier League Champions and they stabbed him in the back like spineless little Bitches !!

GloverFox Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 ... the players may have won the battle to be rid of one of the most popular figures to ever grace our not-so beautiful at this moment in time club .... but as it has already been said in this thread, they now have nowhere to hide ... then again, being paid what they are will they really care let alone put the effort in to prevent the greatest of embarrassing ends to a season? Truly heros to zeros if they continue the pathetic excuse of playing standards we've witnessed in 2017 ... Claudio deserved better, the fans demand better but the media are licking their lips at the prospect of a total meltdown ... whilst I'm disappointed and saddened by the whole situation at present my overall feeling is one of anger ... the sooner we are rid of these players the better, premier league or not then so be it!

Struwwelpeter60 Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 Okay, now I know, what "unwavering support" means in Thailand. When the owners wrote that, they were obviously lying through their teeth. But, hey, that's modern day football. It's all about money. Nothing else. Who decided not to trigger Silva's release clause, who decided not to pay the 25m Burnley wanted for Keane, the 35m Watford wanted for Deeney? Who decided not to make an improved offer for Ramirez or Acerbi? I mean, how much did we actually spend in the last transfer window? Player motivation: who decided to give them those big, new contracts? Who decided to give them those silly new cars? And not to forget: who decided to turn our team into the Leicester Globetrotters, instead of having a proper pre-season? Ranieri? He had, like all managers, no influence at all on financial matters. He was not a member of the Board, where all these decisions were made. Did he make mistakes? Of course!!! Like all managers. His farewell note shows again, what is so special about this man. The owners aquired LCFC because they needed a marketing tool (that's what our club is right now) for their King Power business empire in Britain and, if possible, in Europe. Therefore winning games was essential, but winning the press and the wider public was also very important. A positive image of the club was worth a lot of money. With NP that was impossible. Insulting journalists and fans on a regular basis didn't really do the trick. Ranieri, however, was a PR dream come true. He was, more than anybody else, responsible for the fact, that our club was loved by almost every football-fan in the world. He was the public face of LCFC. The people out there cheered us on, because he was the best ambassador LCFC ever had. Sacking him just 16 days after promising him "unwavering support" has changed everything. From being the most loved club in the world, we have turned into the most despised one. Well done Mr Srivaddhanaprabha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
