Deuce Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Many online reactions to this are waaaay too OTT. It's not despicable, disgusting, the death of football etc. It's an unpopular but justifiable decision. And there's lots of 'know your place, Leicester' from the press which is ridiculous.

It is though? You look at their squad and it's relegation fodder. Zero quality - only class player was Kante and he's gone. It's ridiculous what they've done - they won the league, they're still in the running for last 16 of Champions League. So what if they get relegated - it probably would help them in the long run, get rid of the average players with massive egos who are now massive salaries. They're not going to attract anyone better.

Momentum won them the league. Not Ranieri or the players. What a load of utter drivel. Kante, Ranieri, Vardy and Mahrez won them the league. Probably in that order. Drinkwater and others were exceptional but those 4 were the key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I guess it's similar to Pardew getting 5th then us wanting rid the next season. Hardly - Pardew had a CV in which he had been fired several times after a good start with clubs so people shouldn't have been surprised that he started to fail....we were justified in wanting him gone as Palace fans will now testify. Ranieri had a much better career than Pardew and NUFC are by far a bigger club than Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 There's no question that momentum, positive or negative, is important in football. We've seen that often enough with our own club, and we're seeing it with Leicester in a very dramatic form. A crucial factor is the loss of Kante. Normally a player in that role is replaceable, but his ability to break up opposition attacks is exceptional, and we're seeing it with Chelsea now. Obviously Chelsea are a team that you expect to be in contention, but I don't think anyone expected them to be this far ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their owners have sank close to £150m in the club and they wouldn't be in the PL without them most likely, those owners have every right to try and keep them in the PL and protect their investment. Also it's becoming clear things are all not well behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thought this poll was interesting. Leicester fans were pretty unanimous in wanting him gone. I fear it's already too late, but it's the only card we have left to play. Let's not leave it too late like Newcastle did last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollof rice and pea Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think Mahrez's form couldve continued if hed chosen to leave, and then he'd get as much credit as Kante does, he was the best player in the league last season, his role has been massively downplayed now hes struggling this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with these things outsiders make so many judgements that because of last season there is no reason in the world to sack him but it's clear that they've been awful for months now when reading that and things had gone too far in the opposite direction. Probably similar to how we all wanted pardew out, but fans across the country were insistent we were wrong to want him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think it's a fairly valid consideration that the man in question is obviously an affable, honourable bloke, like. I know that doesn't win you games but it points the 'loss of the dressing room' finger squarely in the direction of the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Momentum won them the league. Not Ranieri or the players. It started well and just kept going. I rate Ranieri as a manager about as much as I rate Vardy as a striker. They are both average but contributed to an unforgettable season. Sacking Ranieri is only a bad decision if they hire some chump, which they will. Ridiculous post I think it's ridiculous that some people now think Ranieri is a good manager. He's not. Something randomly amazing happened to them. It was deserved, yes but It was totally out of keeping with the standard of most of their squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The reaction has been mad. You'd think they had sent him off to dignitas for fucks sake. They haven't scored a league goal in 2017 and it's nearly March. Was he going to turn it around? Probably not. What are the board supposed to do? Sit around and pray he turns it around? Regardless of his achievements last season, they probably rightly considered relegation as unacceptable and if they thought they were heading that way, then its obviously the right decision.

Doctor Zaius Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It's all contextual as well. Keeping up momentum with a group of already motivated played, sticking to a game plan, making sure players keep their cool in a title race is obviously a completely different skill set to motivating demotivated players, freshening up tired tactics, finding replacement players etc. Benitez is prime example. Would you say he's a good manager? He's obviously good in the right situation but not in others and its the same with most managers. It's not as simple as good manager/bad manager.

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 so is that 2 years in a row the title winning manager has been sacked the season after? presume that's a supergiggs but i hadn't thought about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
