    I think they should build a statue of Fossy outside the KP, the deluded nob jockey.

    You've got to accept the rough with the smooth though. You've had the media love in for 18 months, so you have to understand you'll also get the media furore. AND before anyone says it, this is NOT the British media building someone up to pull them down again. For once, THAT is not the case.

    Just providing balance. If someone else comes in and we get past Sevilla, all you'll hear is 'well Ranieri did the hard work'. Works the same way that he took over a side that was ready made.
    And it is common knowledge round the club and city how vital Steve Walsh is and I think we'll see that at Everton given time

    As I said you Spurlock, just providing balance. It's fine they are reporting the story but it's not providing any balance or fact, it's a pure hate thing which not reporting

    I think the most important thing now is to move forward and working towards finishing anywhere above 17th. But I bet 90% of ppl don't honestly believe LCFC would've been relegated. Yeh it was great for a good wum, but there are easily 3 worse teams than you. That's what's such a shame about all this. If you escape relegation (which I think you will) how will you know you wouldn't have with Ranieri??

    We would not have won the league without Ranieri... under Pearson Vardy was used as a left winger predominantly...Drinkwater and Simpson were not getting a game ...he switched from Pearson's back 5 to 442 and the team 'clicked' ...
    ...his 'failing' for me was that he has been too loyal to some key players of last season... hoping they would recapture the same level of performance...they simply haven't...

    But those 90% are the ones who didn't want us and are condemning the club now. Within that 10% are pretty much all Leicester fans who watched us week in week and and knew we were as good as gone with CR. You will never know, just like you wouldn't know we wouldn't have won the league with Pearson or that if we went down with CR whether he'd have been capable of getting us back up.
    I agree about moving forwards and that is the point. We have been moving backwards all season.
    Oh I disagree about 3 worse teams, we are easily the worst in the league, Sunderland and Palace are close but that wouldn't be enough to stay up. The rest piss all over us

    Am I in that 10% although I didn't watch you play every week due to boredom?

    I guess some people are just generally good at predicting **** (like me).

    Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner has distanced himself from the vacant manager's role at the King Power Stadium. (Huddersfield Examiner)


    Can you blame him after this shambles?

    Yes yes I'm sure you are in that 10% Sky and you are very good at predicting **** :emoticon-0148-yes:
    As for your post below, I bet you're just sad because it has come right before we play you :emoticon-0136-giggl

    The only reason you are ahead to be going back is because of CR.
    Some would argue Leicester are back where they belong.
    I disagreed with sacking Mourinho last season under similar circumstances and I disagree with this.
    The players downed tools and are sacks of ****.
    Just like our players last season.
    I can understand where the owner is coming from I suppose.
    If the players are not playing for a manager, for whatever reason, its easier to sack one manager than to change half your team (cheaper too).
    But after being behind Leicester both last season and this......I am so rooting for them to go down now.

    ...could have left it as "just sad" ...sums the president of the HIAG fan club nicely... just a little surprised he hasn't started another new rimming thread :)

    ...you didn't watch us due to being too busy running around after HIAG like a mother hen (as usual) more like ...others did and their opinions therefore carry some merit ..yours are full of bitterness, frustration, and envy at our title winning...plus you hate it when we label your love interest a twat ... :)

    With respect, I don't think you've read much of what I've said. Ranieri cannot claim all credit for last season. I'll ask you this, if a new manager comes in and gets past Sevilla, does he he all the credit?
    The back where we belong line is patronising and bollocks. We shouldn't be challenging for the title or even Europe but spending £80mill to get relegated is embarrassing, we should be mid table.
    Agree the players are a discrace and you are correct that as in any situation, you cannot sack the team so who manages that team?
    The owners were put in an impossible situation and cannot take all the flack they are (from all those on-Leicester fans).
    The playing staff both management and the players have to take the responsibility for ****ing up so badly

    Happened to Newcastle last season.
    And QPR a couple seasons before that.

    No, the new manager wouldn't have gotten all the credit, just as Ranieri shouldn't get the blame for what has happened already.
