Koke Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 This is ESPN. Even after winning 4 in a row and getting to the Champions League quarter finals they are still butt hurt. Craig Burley even said he can't understand most Leicester fans saying "it had to be done". I'll tell you why, Craig. That's because we support Leicester City FC, not Claudio Ranieri FC. We were 100% going down under CR but they wanna pretend we werent.

You mean the ones who clearly support other clubs but gave us their good wishes last season? Boo hoo.

The lad on the left is giving well thought reasoned points and he's coming back with stuff like "It's the worst thing to ever happen in football". All Leicester fans think that the ending of Ranieri's sacking was sad. It was a sad day for Leicester City but the decision was made to put Leicester City first and foremost and I think that's where the media have got the wrong end of the stick. Ranieri did a lot of tings for this club. We wouldn't be where we are without him however he did not earn the right to take us down with no repercussions.
Ted Maul Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 Shall we run a sweepstake on how many times the phrase 'long hard look at themselves' will be said?
foxy boxing Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 he's got some brass neck , at the end of the day the facts speak for themselves and since Claudio was sacked we've picked up immensely. you could see Claudio this season was tactically naive and was constantly changing things! yes the sacking was harsh after the dream season but the owners could see the slide and did what they had to do to pick the squad up!

I'll assume he doesn't follow one team per say, as if he did, he'd know that the proper fans don't give two hoots about "millions of new fans". We'd all support Chelsea or Man City if we did. What I thought was quite telling was the reference to "if Steve Nicol was here he'd talk about all the tinkering and changes", to which the panel flat out refuse to acknowledge this point. Outsiders just aren't thinking that the club is bigger than one man, and the media won't let fact get in the way of a good story.

I hope he keeps his wits about him and isn't tricked into saying something dodgy (what with his sometimes poor grasp of the English language). I've no doubt he will carry himself with class. Claudio's grasp of the English language is far better than Carragher's

We were 100% going down under CR but they wanna pretend we werent. Craig Burley is an absolute ringpiece. I watched a preview for the Sevilla home leg, and he stated categorically that Sevilla would beat us comfortably. He said something along the lines of 'Sevilla will go there, and people will talk about the atmosphere- that's not an intimidating atmosphere, they will win easily." I then had to watch the review, and he was emphasising that Sevilla had lost the tie, rather than us winning it. Shove it up your arse, Burley. I feel all warm and happy when I think about how much people hate us winning.
Finnegan Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 Ian Darke was overwhelmingly annoying when I watched a recording of the Sevilla game when I got home. Complete salad.

AmarteyAndChill Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 I wouldn't take anything they say seriously. I've watched loads of those clips on YouTube and haven't agreed with any one of their points.

We were 100% going down under CR but they wanna pretend we werent. You see, I don't understand comments like that. Guys like him, Carragher, Merson, Henry, Neville etc tell us last season was a freak, a fluke. We shouldn't have achieved it. It was all a big **** up by everyone else and we are an average team. Ok, so on that reasoning, last season should be ignored. It was a blip in the universe and no one should be credited surely with achieving what is deemed a fluke. So, what was wrong with Leicester City having spent 80 odd million sacking their manager, because they were on the way to relegation? It's what every other average team around us has done. Seriously, I don't think people like Carragher and Merson should be allowed to "debate" on tv when their own reasoning indirectly proves them wrong!
MPH Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 He has to be careful not to complain too much as he has the possibility of making himself look a right tit considering how well we have done since.. However that doesn't appear likely considering his previous gentlemanly conduct throughout his career.. I put this article down to trying to bring in some viewers for the game.

We were in the bottom three until after we beat Liverpool, so if he had stayed as manager we'd have been in the bottom three under him that weekend until we had a chance to play. He might have left before we slipped, but leave or stay we were in the bottom three either way. So suggesting he didn't take us into the bottom three is a moot point, as we would have been.

By the time anyone else had a chance to take control of the team, we were in the bottom 3. Claudio may have been sacked on the Thursday, but his league performance has to be judged up until the point that someone else could affect it, which was 7.45pm on the Monday, when we were in the bottom 3.

Yet the fact remains he wasn't in charge. He won us the league and yes performances were shocking but the players have to take responsibility there. You can't change players in 2 days to a side that wiped the floor with Liverpool... Bloke led us to the title and last 16 of the champions league. He will therefore forever be a legend in my eyes. And should be for all LCFC fans. Its just a shame that there is some that don't have patience and apparently can predict the future and say he wouldn't have led us to survival this season. Have to take each day as it comes and enjoy the good ones.
Dan Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 Ranieri taking us into the bottom three, not taking kick offs into account, would've been based on how we did v Liverpool. Under him? A nailed on defeat.

When he left we weren't in the bottom 3 but results over the weekend pushed us in to it before we played again therefore he got us in the bottom 3 and Shakey pulled us out. He is a legend but I support Leicester City, not Claudio Ranieri. The best thing for our club was to get rid and that is what we did.

My point was that had the Liverpool game been played on the Saturday at the same time as other games we wouldn't have been in the bottom three.

Well you can if its the system that's at fault, its a simple case of playing last years starting eleven, minus the obvious one, and saying go back to what you were drilled to do in the first place.
Guest Foxin_mad Posted 28 March 2017 Posted 28 March 2017 If Ranieri had stayed here is how the last few results would have panned out: Liverpool at home - started the game ok, sat back, allowed Liverpool to come at us and dominate the midfield no urgency, maybe create a few half chances. Then because we are sat so deep a defender makes an error and Liverpool score 1-0, heads drop 2-0 before half time. 2nd half we defend like warriors and maybe concede 1 further goal. Hull at home - started the game ok, sat back, allowed Hull to come at us and dominate the midfield no urgency, maybe create a few half chances. Then because we are sat so deep a defender makes an error and Hull score 1-0, heads drop 2-0 before half time. 2nd half we defend like warriors and maybe concede 1 further goal. Sevilla - Destroyed 4-0 as we sit back and they tear us apart. West Ham away - started the game ok, sat back, allowed West Ham to come at us and dominate the midfield no urgency, maybe create a few half chances. Then because we are sat so deep a defender makes an error and West Ham score 1-0, heads drop 2-0 before half time. 2nd half we defend like warriors and maybe concede 1 further goal. That's pretty much how every game went, we would have been well adrift by now had he stayed.
