Melbourne Fuchs Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 I don't see any point in slating Claudio anymore, anyone who still thinks that sacking him was the wrong decision isn't going to change their mind now.
AmarteyAndChill Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 If he was shocked that he got the sack then the mans deluded no goals or wins in 2017 and 18th in the premier league

Shakespeare takes over the team and a few days later we're playing like the side that won the league and we've continued that level ever since. Either Ranieri couldn't motivate the players to play like that or was too stubborn, naive or blissfully unaware to do it. Whatever it was it's plainly clear as time goes on the right decision was made. Bottom line is for whatever reason Shakespeare can get a tune out of these players whereas Ranieri couldn't.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 Grown men still pretending to get angry about this.

ealingfox Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 Imagine still thinking being in a relegation battle in our first season up under Pearson and then this season is a valid comparison.

I think stubborn is the word. Imo he had a vision of how he wanted us to play. For whatever the reason we could not do it. But CR was to stubborn to revert back to what won us the league where as Shakey has us doing what won us the league.

Could you please post the quotes from others at the club who blamed others? Fact is, they don't exist. Nobody blamed anyone else but themselves publically, players included.

K1FOX Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 If Ranieri does try and play the sympathy vote it will leave a sour taste in the mouth. All this about Ranieri won you the league the players should be forever grateful to him from jealous pundits is very weird. Majority of these players were here before Ranieri which many people forget and if anything they have more inclination to the club than he does. Yes he was the manager but without the players what is a manager ?
Joefox Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 How can Ranieri be surprised seriously? He's saying that purely for sympathy. Saying that he's never been treated like this in career before. Why doesn't he just get straight to the point and say he should have been unsackable because he took little old Leicester to the title? It's clearly what he's thinking. Ranieri should know More than anyone the reality of modern day football.
Corky Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 8 hours ago, AKCJ said: I've literally not seen a single Leicester fan unfairly criticise Ranieri. If anything he's gotten off very lightly. We'd have wanted a any other manager sacked months ago. There have been a few. People have tried to take the credit away from him for winning the title, saying he was lucky to inherit the squad he did as though anyone could've done the same job. The problem is that the more the media try to push the argument that it was a disgraceful, heartless decision the more people will try to argue the other way and inevitably Ranieri will be questioned more than if the media had given a rational reaction to his sacking.
maddog Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 Claudio tried to fully incorporate his methods and Italian tactics into the group after the group won the title playing differently. No shame on Claudio for trying to stamp his identity on the place. He earned the right to do that as manager of the club and he did it with the right intentions, the main one being teams worked us out a little at the back end of last season and simply continuing may have been too predictable tactically and may not have worked. I see the logic in what Claudio wanted, it didn't work and he was gone. But the man steered us to the league title and gave the second season a good go, he tried his hardest, changed formations and personnel to change our fortunes, can't ask for more than that. As he has said many times in the past sometimes you just don't get the results, sometimes you do, this is football.

He said he wasn't angry, just surprised at his sacking, if that's the case he would never have known what went on so he can't blame the players. Apart from that didn't he also say if the players have a problem, then go and see the owner.

Not to mention every single award under the sun

By sacking him, just 2 weeks after giving him their "unwavering support", the owners/the Board put all the blame on Ranieri. Show me one single quote from anyone else in charge of the club, that could be regarded as self-criticism.
dynamark Posted 30 March 2017 Posted 30 March 2017 I'm not sure about giving it a 'good go' this season. We stopped counting goals and counted chances last 6 games

No they didn't. They couldn't get rid of the players and the only option when the relationship had broken down was to change the manager.

I asked this and couldn't understand it when Ranieri got sacked, the amount of people worried and concerned about our image was unbelivable. For people worring that we're gonna get slagged off, open wounds, e.t.c...why? These players, this team love to be wrote off, they love to prove people wrong, we are better under a seige mentality, that goes for the fans aswell, we are more resolute, get stronger, louder, support better when we are up against it. Slag us off?....Bring it on! It was sad and unfortunate Ranieri got sacked after what happened last season, i'll never forget what he did last season (Although the more you read, did he actually do that much?! However he was the face of it all, he was there and for that he needs to be thanked and respected), but he had to be sacked and it has proved to be the right decision so far, from those looking in from the outside it's simple to assume the players are snakes and stabbed Ranieri in the back but for us who watch regular the change (for the better) is clear to see, the mistakes and changes (for the worse) Ranieri was making were clear to see. I understand the siege mentality and how we react when under the cosh, but enough is enough let's look forward with optimism and back with pride. I am afraid this will not lend itself to either and I for one would rather we were spoken about in sporting terms again not be a entertainment pantomime.
