HoustonFox Posted 20 October 2017 Share Posted 20 October 2017 Not sure the negativity. He got Sadio Mane sold from under him, but brought in VVD, got Romeu playing, and signed Boufal (who a lot on here wanted). Also blooded a lot of youngsters. Tactically astute and played football, don’t we want that?! Harshly sacked I think (agree with some comments that if it had been us, we would have been destroyed in the media). Out of options, I think he is up there with the better suggestions, and pressure won’t be as great compared to Ancelotti or Dyche who would have spotlight on them (for different reasons).

It often touted by the anti Ranieri brigade who seem to like to rewrite history in an attempt to convince some that he is somewhat of a joke character and it was all an accident etc. The truth is that the end of Feb & March out of a 10 month season - was the period where our run of the the 1-0 victories came. Early Feb were were beating Liverpool 2-0 and marmalising Man City 3-1 away when it could have been 5. In April one of the 4 games was a 4-0 hammering of Swansea. Come to terms with the fact that we won the ****ing thing totally on merit, and the reality that CR did not have us playing for 1-0 wins left right and centre, much as some cretins would have you believe.

4everfox Posted 20 October 2017 Share Posted 20 October 2017 Won Ligue One with Monaco in his first season as a manager, turned Lille into Champions League regulars, took Lyon to the semi finals of the Champions League, turned Nice into European regulars and got Southampton to the League Cup final in his first and only season in charge. He is regarded as a defensive minded manager so would suit us well. We could do a lot worse, I'd take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably come up with multiple XIs of Southampton Academy players playing in the Premier League. There probably aren't 11 Leicester Academy players in the league, let alone covering every position. There is much more going on down there and the Academy Factories at Chelsea and in Manchester than a short term manager can fix. Van Gaal gave a ton of youngsters there debut at United but it was mostly due to an injury crisis even though there is no denying they have a ton of super talented kids up there.

Scotch Posted 20 October 2017 Share Posted 20 October 2017 Speaking to my Southampton supporting mate about him and his exact words were.... "He gets results but his brand if football is chronically boring. He will turn Leicester into a solid mid table team at the expense of all excitement in the club" To be Fair, the pal who said this is THE most critical football fan I've ever known (look up "Scotland's angriest football fan" that's him contesting a throw in) so for him to say that is actually a glowing recommendation.

He’ll probably do alright considering we’ve already gone to the trouble of removing all excitement from the club. To go from having to take a walk so I didn’t start hyperventilating against Sevilla, to getting emotional about how shockingly boring and shit we were against West Brom in the space of 6 months is impressive!

I'm not sure I give a shit what other clubs charge for tickets. All I care about is that the club has never been richer - and yet matches have never been as expensive.
