    Ranieri was brilliant for us ... but he had a whole pre season to prepare ... and the sigings of Okazaki and Kante ... at Fulham he had to try and do something with a team that had already got one manager sacked ... not sure anybody could have come in and turned that ship around tbf.. .

    He'll always have a special place in the hearts of Leicester fans ... currently only Gardiola has achieved as much in the English game ... the rest are still trying to match him <cheers>

    Ranieri is a very likeable guy but he’s an average manager. He’s been at loads of clubs and rarely lasted very long. That Leicester season was a perfect storm and he quickly reverted to type.

    This, he came into Leicester after Pearson had won us 7 of the last 9 the season before to keep us up, he just turned on the charisma with the media and let the backroom staff get on with it.

    Yes that is exactly what I said <doh> ... but to disprove my point please quote any current manager of an English team that has achieved more than Ranieri in the English game other than Gardiola ... if you can't, have the grace to shove some chilli flakes up your arse and admit I'm right <cheers>

    Ranieri isn’t currently the manager of an English team so your comparison is bollocks.

    No ... Pearson did not give either Drinkwater or Simpson a look in ... he also played Vardy on the left wing ...

    Ranieri paired Vardy with Okazaki through the middle and soon introduced Kante ... the only team in the Big 6 we played during the end of season run under Pearson was Chelsea and we lost 3-1 ... indeed Chelsea stuffed us in every game under Pearson...

    Under Ranieri we only lost 3 games in the title winning season ... twice to Arsenal and away to Liverpool ...

    No real comparison ... Ranieri's tactics with us were completely on the money ..<cheers>

    Ranieri isn’t currently a PL football manager.

    You compared an ex-PL manager to Pep so I mentioned another one. What’s the difference?

    Just admit that you ****ed up again.

    Is Ranieri a current PL manager? No.

    Even if he was still a current PL manager would your statement have been correct? No as the West Ham manager has had some past success and is still actually managing in the PL.

    I skim read your ****e about your midfielder having the best goal and assist stats this season. You got your arse handed to you on that subject as well.

    You’re clueless.
