crsleicester Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 1 hour ago, Realist Guy In The Room said: 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. He's left his job with a bundle of notes in his back bin to tide him over. He isn't dead FFS!! Man up or put the Gin away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Mr Srivaddhanaprabha. They just trashed their brand..... what brand values does king power represent now? Claudio rises above it..... he has enhanced his standing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 I feel terrible. I felt that changing manager would be for the best, but now he's gone, I would rather he still be here. Sorry Claudio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyfox Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 Players come and go, owners come and and, sadly, some supporters come and go. The dignity, decency and utter warmth exuberated by Claudio will well and truly remain forever in the history of LCFC. Good work, Claudio. Consider yourself a genuine legend and a thoroughly decent chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has died and, ultimately, if most people don't pull results in at work, they get binned. Personally however, I think there's a wider issue here, and that's one of morality; The club, in my opinion, had a chance to stand by the fella' that achieved the near impossible, they failed. Yes, that's a sentimental theory, and yes, there is no place for such offerings in the modern world, let alone football. But, for me at least, it was a refreshing opportunity chance to buck the trend of a 'must have it all age' . A real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketing-wise he was the jack-pot. The people out there loved us, because of him. Dilly-ding, dilly-dong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What annoys me is we gave the guy the chance to rebuild his reputation when no one would touch him. He has done that successfully and will find himself in work again if he wants it. Plus he got a handsome pay off, people need to calm down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LCFC_World Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 You do get that feeling that "you don't know what you have until it's gone" but I still think it was for the best. Let's remain positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a business, the business manager failed at his job this season which will/could put their business in a dire situation. HE left them no choice. Get over it.

Just a question. you can't choose when to score. there are 22 players on the pitch, it's in complete open play. I agree some players might not have been putting in the effort but to say they deliberately spurn chances is ludicrous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
