Very well put! To clarify I'm not saying Ranieri didn't get himself sacked just that he deserved alot better from all at Leicester in the wake of his departure due to his all be it fleeting achievements. Ranieri is a class act and was never going to have a parting shot at Leicester, but they had a fair few at him because it gave them an instant excuse for their own underperformance.
Happy players are confident players, less destructive players and more productive players. Many of them turned into what Ken Way calls 'Terroists' It's one of his main techniques where he snuffs it out the second it shows. Had he kept Ken Way, it would never have happened. Reniari allowed this attitude to spread and ended up going against him. Footballers on the whole are ****ers, Ken Way understands this and deals with it by not allowing them to be ****ers. Ranari didn't need Shakespeare, but getting rid of Ken Way combined with his man of stone persona were his ultimate down falls imo. They went from having bosses they liked with a whip on their arses for bad attitude twinned with a heavy team bonding focus to a stony inflexible gaffer who couldn't give two ****s about their feelings as human beings and doesn't subscribe to the notion of team spirit. It's was always going to take a radical downtown. Ranari dismantled all the positive feeling the more he phased out the old ways. He dragged the heart out the dressing room while letting ill feeling breed like bacteria. Yes the players turned on him and stopped playing for him, but that's the monster he created. Players shouldn't be precious, but in the modern day they are, that's just the way it is. Managers can either accept it and adopt ways of managing it, or be in denial about it, believe they should be what they aren't, do nowt about it and become a dinosaur. I think Raniari is well on his way to becoming one of those out of touch dinosaurs. It's cost him his last 2 club management jobs. I've been torturing the safc twitter site with requests to hire @ken_way and even received a like from him. He'd sort us out a treat. Biggest mistake Leicester city made was not telling Raniari what Ken Way stays no matter what. Unfortunately, he found he'd been sacked by Raniari when he went to collect his kit only to find out he hadn't been issued one. That sort of treatment of staff the players hold in such high regard is going to have them working against you from the off.
I’m going off his time in the PL thus far. I haven’t seen him play a Chumpionship game. Long and short. Would I have him at Newcastle? No I wouldn’t
I expect you to say nothing less. I think he’d add to your squad. Maybe not first team (although I’d rather him - when back to full fitness - in the “10” than Perez) but squad his pace alone is worth the spot. He’ll do well for us this season I think. Unless the twat that owns us sells him in January. Nothing would surprise me.
