Yorkie Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There must be a reason why he can't stay in the job for more than about a year. Strange appointment, that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Totally smacks of owners who have the best intentions for the club by trying to emulate the likes of Southampton but this will fail miserably. This is the opposite tbf, they hired young, progressive managers. Leicester have hired a past it old man who has let the game pass him by. Aye fair enough about the age gap. What I meant was Southampton binned Adkins when he was doing okay to the outrage of the football world (well his fellow average English managers). They then obviously appointed the right man in Poch. My point is Leicester have tried to do similar in binning Perason and appointing probably a more 'glamorous' foreign coach Pearson only got sacked because he's evil, he did a great job for them and he'd definitely have been given at least another season if he wasn't psychotic. I'd be very surprised if Ranieri finished higher than the 14th they achieved last season, he probably won't finish the season at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 He's a character, but that seems like all he's got going for him at the moment. Like everyone else I can't see him doing a full season there and he's treading very near becoming the joke Sven is in terms of job hopping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Love Ranieri. Certain relegation candidates this year though. Cambiasso would have been a better appointment, based on his leadership alone. I suspect the players will like Claudio though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?" then "Claudio Ranieri is clearly experienced, 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."
