Ranieri Sacked

[joeinbrighton]

I dare say that Leicester firing Ranieri will turn out quite well for him.

I was over in Italy last summer and the Italian media were very much celebrating what he had achieved at Leicester and taking an interest in him and Leicester at the start of the new season.

His achievements at Leicester have boosted his profile everywhere, but none more so than in his homeland. The next time a big job comes up in Serie A, he is going to be a candidate. I'd imagine Vincenzo Montella who is on a bad run at AC Milan at the moment will be looking over his shoulder, for instance.

Kante should have stayed at least for this season .

It doesn't look like he is going to have cause to regret that decision though.

Poor show. Medium sized club , over achieved, boots too big. da de da de da.

Pathetic and I hope we don't sack CH in 2019 after he has led us to the Premiership next season....

I hope the film of the 'Leicester Story' hasn't been made yet, because this season will add LOADS to the storyline.

Are you replying to my comment or just rambling on about whatever?
Claudio? Leicester? Did you actually read the OP?

I'm taking the piss out of the fact that all you can talk about is your "history" , you never win anything,

So as I said, what has it got to do with Claudio or Leicester?
Do you understand English or is it your second language?

Nothing whatsoever, just glad I've managed to hit a nerve with you .

Oh yes, I've been thinking of nothing else. You must be a bitter as your far too intelligent to be a Manc. I like Rangers too!

Surprised to see Pearson odds on to replace Ranieri
Thought he fell out with owners
Put a few quid on Mancini at 16/1

Keeps his payoff, gets re hired for more money and looks forward to getting another pay off in a couple of seasons.
Win win for him.

I'm intelligent enough to use the correct spelling of you're .

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread somewhere but I wonder if this will enhance the chances of Ulloa getting some more game time. I know he went on strike but I got the impression he felt more let down by Ranieri rather than the club.

I don't suppose the owners of the club have budgeted for relegation.

Even when Leicester were struggling under Nigel Pearson, the owners there were making it clear they want Leicester to establish themselves as a top half of the Premier League side, along the lines of Southampton or Stoke, not to just make up the numbers.

That's all very well but there are 20 teams in the PL. Six are pretty much guaranteed top 10 (Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, Man U, Man C and Liverpool). Add in Everton as a 7th and that leaves three spots for 13 teams. Do you honestly think that fans of Southampton, Stoke, WBA etc wouldn't swap one of their glorious top 10 finishes for a Premier League title?

Ulloa is back in the fray, being on the bench tonight.

Fancy a cheeky bet on him as last goalscorer at odds of c10-1. The gods of football scriptwriting tend to put strange stories together for nights like this, so fully expect Liverpool to take a 2-0 lead and Leicester to come back and nick a stoppage time winner, probably from the head of the big man.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Leicester in the lead, which puts Palace back in the relegation zone. Come on you foxes.

2-0 Leicester, obviously decided to turn up tonight
