I wasn't being serious but thanks for the clarification Kudos for attempting Chinese at all by the way, I don't imagine that's very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have far more sympathy for Craig Shakespeare over his sacking by Leicester than I did when Claudio Ranieri received his marching orders last season. Shakespeare has been unfortunate to be bound by the newfound level of expectation at the club. Ranieri attempted to repeat what he achieved with Leicester in the Premier League on the European stage and it nearly relegated them. However, if Shakespeare and Ranieri saw their former team's performance against Swansea, they would have chuckled at the reaction of the players they once managed. These men would have had a very special relationship with the players at one stage. It shows how fickle football and players can be at times. Premier League records of Leicester's permanent managers since the club's Thai owners took control Manager Games Win % Nigel Pearson 38 28.9 Claudio Ranieri 63 44.4 Craig Shakespeare 21 38.1 Riyad Mahrez was outstanding against Swansea and it begs the question: had he produced these sort of performances earlier would Ranieri or Shakespeare have got the sack? What I do know is that Leicester's owners must learn from their mistakes and stop appointing short-term fixes. Select a manager who will develop the club, but slowly. Stability and Premier League consolidation is all that matters right now. This boom-and-bust mentality must come to an end. That won’t make good reading for those who would would have you believe NP was the club’s (nay world’s) greatest manager. Great builder of the club though he was.

Insulted "us". Who is "us"? And why do we supposedly pander to them? It's stuff like this that makes me that bit happier when we win.

glenny_fox Posted 30 October 2017 Share Posted 30 October 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41795393 Garth Crooks team of the week has Vardy and Gray in. Though I'd love to hear Garth's reasoning for putting Gray as a CM in a midfield 2. Literally a parody to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 30 October 2017 Share Posted 30 October 2017 Where's the "insult"? It seriously makes no sense. What he means is "they fired a bloke I liked as a person despite his terrible run of results, which I understand happens to every other manager everywhere" What a dumpcvnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 30 October 2017 Share Posted 30 October 2017 I think it's because they did like the story, but only as a total one off. The praise for us as a club, city etc... whatever it was was absolutely hollow and deep down they want the natural order restored. That's why they're so insulted by us.

Nalis Posted 30 October 2017 Share Posted 30 October 2017 Jim Holden's 'Leicester insulted us' piece is up there with 14 year olds from Asia/Africa posting 'Leicester, you have lost all of my respect' on social media after the Ranieri sacking In other words, none of us give a flying fvck about either notion.

Corky Posted 30 October 2017 Share Posted 30 October 2017 I like how he slates us for the ambition of returning to mediocre anonymity as though we weren't doing that under Ranieri. We can add him to the list of people who seemed to ignore the league table and the statistics last February and couldn't understand why a man in a relegation battle was sacked. Disagreeing with the decision isn't a problem, rewriting/ ignoring the valid points made is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vacamion Posted 30 October 2017 Popular Post Share Posted 30 October 2017 “Yes, it could be wedded bliss for a manager who is a reticent, foreign, softly-spoken public speaker to work for reticent, foreign, barely-heard-in -public owners.” I love how he suggests these are negative qualities when they are actually astoundingly positive. I don’t want the celebrity-obsessed loudmouth owners that have plagued other clubs. I’m glad we have owners who have, for the most part, been blissfully “reticent, foreign and softly spoken”. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
