The Leicester City "spiral" watch!

Basically the board are finally acknowledging they fluked the league last season.

Something I've been saying since Hazard scored against Spurs.

 

Provocative, mate.

 

Factual HIAG, factual.

Don't shoot the messenger!

 

"After all that Claudio Ranieri has done for Leicester City, to sack him now is inexplicable, unforgivable and gut-wrenchingly sad."
(Gary Lineker, on Twitter)

 

In other news Kane scores a quality own goal

 

With all respect, it's this attitude that is wrong with people who don't know the full story

 

Agreed

 

Think you hit the nail on the head, lost the dressing room

 

Well, if he did then he had to go, as there is little chance of pulling that round.

The new bloke will have to work hard, though, to get the team to work together, particularly if there are pockets of conflict among the players.

 

The last league champions to lose 5 league games in a row were... Chelsea, 1956.

@CFC: Champions of FFP you should make a new thread about this, mate.

 

Shouldn't you be at Wembley?

 

Look there can be some understanding and sympathy with the decision to sack Ranieri (although personally I think he deserved until the end of the season)

BUT why the fck did they publicly give him their backing 10 days ago. That's what fcks me off. Proper ****s imo. There are plenty of clubs that do this but the unique situation at LCFC with them winning the title against all odds meant at least stick by your word you ****s! Once you've given your word, Ranieri deserved at least that much.

 

If I didn't have important stuff to do tomorrow, I may well have gone.

 

I hope Leicester have Bob Bradley lined up after sacking Ranieri. It's clear to see that Vardy, Mahrez and co haven't given a **** about this season.

 

You normally buy your kebabs there mate?

 

Beware Taiwanese bearing gifts!

Isn't the so-called vote-of-confidence known, in football circles, as the kiss of death?

 

Top bantz!

 

Agree but that is why I pointed to the fact it's a unique situation. LCFC arent City or Chelsea where you are expected to win the league and then follow ut up again... and therefore if the manager gets the dreaded vote of confidence we can laugh about it. This was a club with a manager who punched above their weight and achieved something remarkable. SO if you give your word to back him, in this situation you motherfucking well should. ****ers imo proper ****ers.

 

The full story is Leicester City are current league champions.

Words you never thought you'd hear.

He should have been given to the end of the season. If you go down then so be it, you can always come back up.

 

Ridiculous from Leicester.
Shades of Abramovich here.
Maybe Ranieiri can take the Arsenal job when Wenger leaves, you can win **** all for over a decade there and still keep your job.
I would have at least kept him on until the second leg against Sevilla ffs
