ALC Fox Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 Give him a 5 year contract! (Shakey, that is.) To be honest, the more credit he's given, especially for his work during the three league titles and the great escape, the more likely he'll get the job in the summer, and perhaps the more likely players from other clubs will be attracted to the possibility of playing for him here (which seems to be Stringer's concern about him at the moment - which is quite a legitimate concern though, I suppose)
Moksky Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 Everyones your best friend when you winning, but your biggest critic when you're losing
LittlethorpeFox Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 Ranieri - a brilliant front man, good in the media, handled pressure will. Poor tactician and coach

Ted Maul Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 Whilst I don't like the fact that Ranieri (and our title-winning season, in fact) has been knocked, the signs in the article are that we have the potential to move forward under Shakespeare and continue to win games. Just draw a line under it all. Last season was incredible. No point muddying those waters with stories of unrest behind the scenes, just remember it for what it was- the most unbelievable and pure English footballing achievement in decades. This season, he wasn't up to scratch and he paid with his job. Simple as that- football is a ruthless game these days, pretty much every manager in the world has lost his job at some point. He'll always be loved in Leicester, no point discrediting him. We'll always have 2015/16, and the decision to make a change means that we have a chance at survival and a CL QF this season. Onwards and upwards.

Pearson must have started listening to him and hence the great escape.

I don't agree we would have gone down without Kante, but I do recall the "joke" that Ranieri made about Kante, and how Steve Walsh had to work hard to persuade him. OK, so Ranieri turned the story against himself, but I do wonder if that contributed to Kante and Walsh leaving at more or less the same time last year. Ranieri did want Kante, and didn't trust Walsh's judgement, and said so in public... Doesn't sit well, does it?

I don't get how CR is knocked for the whole Kante thing.He should be given credit for listening to someone else about a player most had never heard of and then within a few games had him in the starting line up

Yes, give him credit for that, but I think the problem is talking about it in public, and making a joke about it. I may be wrong about this, and I have no way of knowing, but it may have upset both the player and the guy who signed him. May have.

I can tell you now, Kante didnt want to come to Leicester and was adamant he was leaving at the end of the season, nothign to do with Claudio or anyones elses comment. Kante even said as much last week. He was unhappy living here, and wanted to go to Marseille not us.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 I've slated Ranieri this season as in my opinion the buck stops with him and because of that he rightly lost his job. You can't however be hypocritical and blame him for this seasons results but say he played no part in last seasons. Im well aware that he was part of a much larger setup, but you can't take away the fact that he was the manager who won us the league. He will forever have my respect for that.
Thracian Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 4 hours ago, Koke said: That's pretty damning. Phillips just went in. I feel sorry Ranieri cos he's a nice man but I hate this outside perception of him that he's flawless and faultless. He had problems and was to blame for a lot (not all) of the things that's gone wrong. Ranieri might come across as a nice man in front of the media but I'm not sure that's the full story. Shaky's been described as "honest and straightforward" but not all the comments about Ranieri when he's away from the spotlight are quite so glowing. I'm not suggesting he's impossible to work with or anything like that but the suggestion is he "does have his ways" for want of a better expression.

If we went to shit again next year his head will be on the block and it will look awful for his CV. If I were him I'd run as soon as he keeps us up, as it can be attributed to him being in charge. CR should have done the same after last season. Personally, I'd like him to stay on and build, but I wouldn't if I were him. This chance of taking on a PL team, could well be his last. Such situations to become a manager anywhere is rare, but we are talking PL.If he doesnt want the chance of soaring so high, then he he rides the rest of his career as a coach..Does he have it in him to aim high...??
Struwwelpeter60 Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 1. A simple question: why has CS never before been given the manager job? I mean, the guy is 53. 2. CS is a lucky man. Tomorrows match will be his third home game in a row. Under CR we won 8 at home (5 in the PL, 3 in the CL). The KP was/is not our problem. 24 of our 27 points were won there. I will believe, that we have turned the corner, when we win at West Ham. 3. We are still only 3 points above the drop zone. Isn't it a little bit too early to celebrate and fantasise about winning the CL?
Nalis Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 Fvcking hell, will we get a statue of the Leicester squad lifting the Premier League trophy with Shakey, Pearson, O'Neill, the tea lady and Rob Kelly included whilst Ranieri gets airbrushed out just to prove a point?

Well it's now coming out it WASN'T all down to him. The players are the ones who gave us the greatest day of our lives. The team was already in place and as Phillips has said the team sorted it's own self out. The moment it was down to Ranieri and his tactics and signings it was downhill all the way.

Of course it wasn't all down to him but he was a big part of it ... can't we just celebrate what they achieved as a club and band of brothers together.
fuchsntf Posted 13 March 2017 Posted 13 March 2017 I dont know if I am amazed, confused, in expectations mode, when reading some fans posts on this forum.. We have the..known it all along, backstabbing, Told you I was an expert, He did, no!! He did !! ..Brigade. I couldnt really couldnt give a.. F U C K.!!! We won the PL in a fantastic super year, in style, against the odds, pundit-unfriendly, gobsmacking, jealous/envy provoking most successfull, downright audacious season of my fox-supporting 60+ years.... write, post, dictate, discuss the spite and shit out of it as you like... I will then take alone the credit and plaudits of the 2015/2016 season, because in my heart I am but a true fan... The rest of you must find out ...why!!! WE WON IT, THATS ALL THAT COUNTS...!!! The Jeremy kyle-soap opera means nothing......If I am forced to go to war, or fight Brexit It might interest me, but falling over others feet, for football....garbage, rubbish..laughable!!! 132 yrs, I die knowing my team won the PL...fk the WWI or WWII.fk Brexit and ISIS... Leicester city won the PL........
