funkyrobot Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 Should have an option for those of us who didn't want him sacked in the first place.

midland_red Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 I first though Claudio should step down after the first Boro match. I thought then (and said on here) that the last minute equaliser would do us no favours because it would postpone the need to make difficult and painful decisions. So - no regrets and I stand by my original view, however sad and pained I feel (and believe me I do).
TrentFox Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 Truly ridiculous thread. Anyone changing their mind needs a reality check. The media love a drama and have duly created one. He's a charming man who achieved a miracle. But he was leading us back to the championship. We haven't scored a league goal in two months FFS. Why would you change your mind because the media played the card they were always going to play to create a bigger story than is actually there?? Bizarre.
joachim1965 Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 The owners have not lost the respect of the majority of city fans !! They are doing the right thing for the club, for christ sake i wish some people would get a grip, it's not like someone has died.

Guest Col city fan Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 No regrets at all. I'm a City fan, not a Ranieri fan. The only regret is that it didn't happen before Christmas, giving a new bloke both time and a transfer window. The rot had set in months ago. It's just come to a head over recent weeks.

Bernieboots76 Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 No regrets he is a good man but we can not let the fact that we were on a downward spiral with him charge go unnoticed. And if anyone could honestly say they saw anything in recent performances to say he was turning it around then yes he might have saved his job. I am sure the owners did not sit there sharpening their knives waiting for the opportunity to sack him. They gave it as much time as they could before they felt they had to make a decision. There is still a chance of us going down but there was more of a chance if C.R stayed in charge. And if we are to go down who's to say how long it would take us to get back up again I don't think the owners or even us the fans want a extended period back in the championship.
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 Similar, but not as intense out pouring when NP got the bullet. Obviously a decent replacement is essential. Chance for Rudkin to show us his worth

No doubt we will find out Monday night the fans feelings!

seenitall Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 I think the lack of class from some of the 'fans' on here is probably compounding how others feel - it's a bit like Brexit - if you are tactless enough to go on and on about how right you were, you probably weren't.

Show me the posts that lack class. All I have seen is people agreeing with the sacking but upset the way it's ended.
Ian Nacho Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 I don't ever call for a manager for to be sacked, however I was thinking in my head, something has to change or we will be going down. I don't regret my thoughts, I must admit I did shed a tear or two but nobody is bigger than a football club no matter how much they've done.

Correct and you get some idiot pundits saying if we had finish 10th last season he wouldn't have been sacked,the title win bought him 2 extra months we couldn't afford to give him.
Blue ROI Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 I'm sad at the timing of it. I was very pleased with the second half show on Wednesday but lets face it we would have surely found ourselves having the post-match fallout again on Monday. I've grown to like Claudio a lot more than I would have expected to in July 2015 and its not just because of last season but I don't regret wanting a change.

We we will be pariahs in the football world for the next year if so. I'm an old school, traditional football fan - but I don't think it is fair to dismiss this sacking as driven by branding and money, and devoid of honour or integrity. Not getting relegated is a pretty big part of the game, nevermind the financial implications. We expected Ranieri to be ruthless in his team selection and not blinded by sentimentality - surely the owners eventually had to do the same.
Ted Maul Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 I've been surprised by the tidal wave of hysteria and nonsense which has come our way from pundits, journalists and football fans, but we needed a change.
daverollo Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 Although my initial reaction was bitter disappointment we have to trust the owners on this one. More a case of I wished Claudio could have sorted it out, but the signs have not been good. It's not a decision they would have taken lightly - they have demonstrated immense loyalty in the past. You only have to look at 2014/15 when Leicester were cut adrift at the bottom of the table. They stuck by Pearson then to get them out of that mess, BECAUSE everyone could see that the performances were there. They weren't getting hammered every week, were playing well and finally got a break and confidence flooded in, a belief that they could get results. The performances at present are not there, they have been in a steady state of decline all season and it is the correct decision to NOT carry on doing the same thing over and again and expecting a different result. A change was/is needed. Whether that change will bring about the desired affect only time will tell. I would have loved nothing more than to have seen Claudio guide us to safety and 17th position - and he may well have done that, BUT the signs were not pointing in that direction, we are in freefall. If it weren't for us being in the champions league, I think he would have gone a few weeks ago, it was out of loyalty to Claudio that he was given that game.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 I see a disconnect between 'experts' like us (the majority of whom who at least try and watch the games, if not in person), and the wider Leicester public who loved our clubs triumph last year, who many on here would call 'plastic' fans. The masses are more outraged because they don't understand how hollow modern football has become, how poisoned by money it is.
Foxxed Posted 25 February 2017 Posted 25 February 2017 I didn't want him sacked. But I can't disagree with it. He failed to break the back of the revolt against him. The Seville game was proof. Kingy refused even to celebrate Vardy's goal. You ain't going to win anything but relegation in those circumstances. As someone here said, "You can't sack the team." The alternative would have been honourable relegation, which is not appealing. Now those who instigated the revolt, have to own it, and win survival.
