Ranieri

[Sampson]

Surprised no one’s mentioned it. But that was such a beautiful moment last night when he was on screen and the entire crowd started singing his name and he slowly got up and waved to the crowd. You could see he was getting emotional and made me emotional a bit too.

 

Still think a lot of us forget just how much we loved him that season and how immensely likeable he is.

[StanSP]

Lovely moment. You could see how humbled he was. 

 

 

[LestaAl]

A great man and welcome at the King power for ever.

[21st Century Fox]

But when is he getting a statue!!? 

[Ric Flair]

What a man

Got a feeling likely not for a very long time sadly.

It may or may not have made any difference to the result, but you know Claudio would at least have had a go last night. We wouldn't have died wondering.

Puel had a decent record in the big games as well. We'd lose to all the fodder in between though

I don't want to turn this into another Rodgers-bashing thread, as much as he deserves it. I can accept losing, but how we lost so meekly last night leaves a bitter taste. That's the last I'll say on the matter. Carry on with the Ranieri tributes.

[Kierzz]

What an incredible guy. Inspirational

[CrazyKopCorner]

What a man. 

 

I got the impression he said all of the right things about being a Rome Man but I think secretly he was going for us. 

 

Loved and Adored in equal measure - A true gentleman  

 

Was the highlight of a shite night for me

Great moment but I have to say the punditry on it was ****ing sickening in the US. “He should have a lifetime contract, they shouldn’t have fired him”

 

He was taking us down and literally scraping butter into a bin in the changing room. Lost his head.

[volpeazzurro]

Just a lovely moment, gave us some very special moments from his interviews to what we witnessed on the pitch. Very special for me personally that I witnessed it with my teenage son, a memory that I'm sure will linger on with him long after I'm gone. No-one can ever take that away. Would still love to meet him.

Maybe

 

I don’t think he’s ever come to terms with his departure though sadly

[Paninistickers]

Beautiful 😍 

 

He looked very proud of us, like we were a much loved foster kid he'd cared for, arriving abroad all grown up at his own family house 

[kingkisnorbo]

Build the statue. 

[Guest Mee-9]

Best moment of the game if i'm honest.

 

 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Loudest chant from the away end last night was for Claudio.

Only decent thing in the whole 90 mins 

[Finnegan]

Probably my favourite ever manager. 

 

I was delighted when he signed, I've always been a fan, even back in his Chelsea days he was one of my favourites in the league because he's just such a genuinely decent human being. 

 

Honestly just a fantastically likeable guy.

Maybe there is a 50 page thread on this but if true, I need to know more

My stream was looping every ten minutes or so and looped this to the tee.

Misguided hope forced me to refresh though

[joachim1965]

Just for that season alone he is our best manager of all time, can't see us ever achieving that level of success again.

He was definitely our most lovable and successful in his short tenure. He really is a true gentleman and just seeing him on screen makes you feel good about the world.
