54 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 Pellegrini is the only manager to finish the following season in the last 5 years after winning the league.

triggs 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. He was a good manager long before he went to Leicester Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 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. This. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Ranieri not a good manager f***ing hell man. He's had a few pretty bad jobs like but last season was clearly all down to him. He's not like. I'd have been gutted had we chosen him. Winning the premiership won't make me assume he's a good manager. In a world where people post the most ridiculous things on social media, to write that Ranieri is not a good manager after winning the title with Leicester is right up there.

ponsaelius Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Other than promotions and a sprinkling of cup competitions with Fiorentina and Valencia (hardly a slight on his coaching credentials), Ranieri's always been a nearly man. Runner up with Chelsea to Arsenal invincibles, runner up with Juventus and Roma to Mourinho's dominant Inter, runner up with Monaco to PSG's unlimited budget. He's had a career of doing very good, but not quite enough, and being confronted with dominant opposition. The Leicester success was a vindication of his career. To suggest he's not or hasn't been a good manager is ridiculous, even if it took a late career swansong and miracle season to finally get a title to prove it.

Deuce Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 incredible thing to say that really, even if they'd not won last season ranieri is still a good manager by any objective standard like An argument can be made that he's not quite cut out to manage really big clubs. But he's won loads of silverware in Italy and Spain (in addition to one of the greatest triumphs in football history). He's a very good manager who's shown consistency across nearly 30 years of management, despite massive changes to the game over that period of time. That's highly impressive.

Cronky Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 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. Surprised at that. Being pretty much from there it's not the impression I got at all. I think that internet polls attract a particular group of motivated supporters, and aren't necessarily representative of general opinion, which is usually more moderate and cautious. A bit like the difference between Labour party activists and Labour voters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 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. They might still end up relegated anyway. In any case, they made their choice, hopefully they'll sink back into obscurity mired in the perennial relegation struggle clubs like that deserve. The players have won today, but within a season or so most of them will be yesterday's news just like the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Ranieri at least deserved to see out the CL tie against Sevilla imho, they have a realistic chance of turning that one over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The circumstances being Leicester fucking City won the league, were outside the relegation zone and have a reasonable chance of progressing to the QFs of the CL. This is a fanbase that celebrated winning the league with clappers. The midlands is full of creeps and you know it Neesy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
