benpicko Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Why are all opposition fans acting as though Hiddink at the moment would have been a better appointment? Hasn't he got an even worse recent record than Ranieri? The only thing people seem to be using against Ranieri is that he finishes 2nd a lot, and a few of those are with teams who have been newly promoted or were doing awfully the year before

davieG Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Claudio Ranieri's appointment a risk for Leicester City - CotteeLast Updated: 13/07/15 7:24pm Claudio Ranieri has not managed in the Premier League since 2004 Tony Cottee admits he is shocked at Claudio Ranieri being named the new Leicester City manager and says the Italian's a risk. Ranieri, who has previously managed Chelsea, is seen as a surprise appointment with the club having been linked to Neil Lennon and Martin O’Neill. Sky sources also reported on Sunday night that Peter Schmiechel had applied for the role. Leicester sacked Nigel Pearson last month and Cottee thinks the club are taking a big gamble.

I just didn’t see this one coming. “Obviously there have been many people linked to the job but as far as I’m aware Ranieri wasn’t one and for me it is a strange appointment. “They made a massive risk getting rid of Nigel Pearson who did such a good job football-wise towards the end of last season. To appoint Ranieri now, bearing in mind where he has been the last 10 years, is a huge gamble.” Ranieri, 63, has not worked in English football since 2004 and was dismissed as Greece coach last year after only four games following the defeat by the Faroe Islands. The former England international, who scored 27 times in 85 appearances for Leicester, thinks the news of Ranieri’s arrival will be controversial among fans and believes they will begin to voice their concerns if the club do not have a good start to the season. “He has managed in Premier League football before but when he did manage with Chelsea he was working with players that were capable of winning the Premier League,” Cottee added. “At Leicester it’s a completely different ball game. He is going to be dealing with players that are good players but Leicester have got a fight for survival on their hands. Claudio Ranieri spent four years in charge of Chelsea “It’s going to be a little bit different managing at the bottom of the Premier League than at the top. He will need to hit the ground running and make sure they get some points on the board. “If he does that he will get the fans on his side and have a chance, but if they get a poor start I think there will be itchy feet among the fans.” Despite having Premier League experience, Cottee is concerned Ranieri will not know what the club means to the fans and the city and believes Lennon and O’Neill would have been more suitable choices. “I was hoping Neil Lennon or Martin O’Neill would go back to the club, people who understand what Leicester is all about, what the city is about and what it means to the fans," the Sky Sports football pundit stated. “Ranieri is quite a big name in the football world but sometimes it’s better to go with people who understand the football club. “I’m disappointed one of my ex-players and ex-managers didn’t get the chance to go back to the club.”

Matt Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Gary Lineker; "Claudio Ranieri is clearly experience, but this is an uninspired choice by Leicester. It's amazing how the same old names keep getting a go on the managerial merry-go-round."
Corky Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 If you're fed up of reading Sunderland views, don't go on their forum. Who cares what they think? They aren't a rival, just another club.
Matt Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 (edited) If you're fed up of reading Sunderland views, don't go on their forum. Who cares what they think? They aren't a rival, just another club. I was thinking exactly the same thing. It seems some people on here need to be outraged though and if they have to go out and seek that outrage then so be it. Edited 13 July 2015 by Matt
