Gerard Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 Oh how I love when outsiders preach to us how Ranieri should have been allowed to leave on his terms. Most of us will know that under Ranieri we were in a continuous decline and relegation looked likely. Professional sport is a tough and unforgiving business, when your time is up there are few hiding places and you soon outstay your welcome. Even Jamie Vardy will be quickly moved aside when he begins his decline, that's the nature of the beast and little room for sentiment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though we have proven to be more than a yo-yo club these days. Just nonsense, Ranieri upset too many after the title win and that is the reason he went. We were much better than relegation fodder. Why don’t they talk about Mourinho getting sacked at Chelsea when they were near relegation, with all what he achieved? what is even more funny is these were the same people telling us Ranieri was a terrible appointment, he was finished and had us going down before the season kicked off .

I remember Barry Glendenning being apoplectic about the CR sacking, claiming he'd earned the right to relegate us all the way to the National League and still have a job. A lot of people see the LCFC title as a story which belongs to them, and thus the ending should be one that makes them happy. They're unwilling or unable to actually see what was happening from a football perspective in that 2nd season and simply parrot the "But you're only Leicester" line to tell us that we should accept the fate they've decided is acceptable for us. Anyone like that journo is not worth having any of their opinions listened to. Edited 12 March 2021 by martyn 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 Who the **** is Simon Stone? I wonder if he was a Leicester fan at Swansea away when we got beat by a crap swans team. That’s when I knew unfortunately Claudio had to go. That was a dismal day You can almost understand the ranieri talk at the time when he got the chop from outsiders of the football club but how on earth can they can say it again now I’ll never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board wanted to rectify that and put us where we are now. How ignorant can you be to still harp on about Ranieri and see it as only being ‘probably the right decision’? Absolute nonsense that he deserved to see that season out, fans were devastated to see him go - but he’d upset just about everyone at the club in that second season and was, as Bourne says, taking us down on that form. We played worse in 16/17 (under Ranieri) than 14/15 when we were bottom. To be fair, he says “every so often” which completely changes the meaning from what you quoted. But yeah, shoehorning Claudio into the Wilder story is bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RumbleFox Posted 12 March 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 12 March 2021 (edited) To be honest even as a Leicester fan a part of me understands where it all comes from. Obviously we probably had to get rid of him but it was fvcking gutting. He delivered us the dream and he was a gent. If anyone in the entire history of world football did ever deserve a chance then it was him. I’m not saying we should have accepted relegation and kept him, in a footballing sense it was the right decision but that doesn’t mean that in a human sense it doesn’t leave a bitter taste. In hindsight I really wish he’d have just walked away after the title win. X Edited 12 March 2021 by RumbleFox 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if we should have just settled for relegation based on winning the title and ignoring anything good we might have done since then, in terms of establishing ourselves as a PL club but more so as a side that can challenge the top 6 and qualify for Europe. He basically needs his head checking for even raising it as a point, let alone running with it with some level of arrogance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumbleFox Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 Ok so everyone knows it’s possible to understand why someone was sacked, and agree with it, but also wish it didn’t happen right? And to understand that some people not collected with the club might view it differently to how we do. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people seem puzzled by the Wilder thing. But a mate of mine, who's a big Blades fan rang me earlier, and was actually pretty happy he's gone. According to him, most of his friends will be in agreement. Hard to argue with that really, when you look at them this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 12 March 2021 Share Posted 12 March 2021 I always got the sense Wilder’s man management was limited. If you keep insisting to your players -- and the media -- that they are Championship and League One talent, and lucky to be where they are, that may put a charge up them in the short run. But once things start to go seriously wrong, how do you motivate them to believe, when you’ve beaten into them that they haven’t got the quality?

I'm not a fan of managers coming out and doing it in public., Wrong comparison here but I wouldn't want my boss to have a go at me in front of others outside our team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
