No mate, not to my knowledge ... I loved Claudio and felt he was shabbily treated by the club ... the inside line is that he wanted to change tack and make us change our game from the model that won the title to move the club forward ... we'd lost Kante and Big Wes and Huth were not going to be as effective with the FA introducing rules that countered their rather physical approach (plus they had just gone by their sell-by for me)... certain senior players were apparently not happy with the new direction (a couple of the names I've heard might surprise you) and the owners acted upon the dissension in the camp ... many supporters were not impressed ... but I guess something had to give and the owners are pretty shrewd businessmen ...
Ok thanks Fosse Someone has put out a rumour that Shakespeare might be joining Ranieri again I think we would be happy if that were true
Mate ... my posting style is well known ... particularly when it comes to winding up a few of the 'entitled' brethren on here ... but for the record here is my take on the top Leicester City managers since I started going down in the 1969 / 70 season: 1) Claudio Ranieri 2) Martin O'Neil 3) Jimmy Bloomfield 4) Gordon Milne 5) Brendan Rodgers 6) Frank O' Farrell 7) Jock Wallace 8) Nigel Pearson ... some of those guys achieved minor miracles with little funding ...
Wether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous managerial appointments or become a plastic supporter and just follow who is winning at the moment
They were great together for us ... Claudio was the Generalissimo, the thinker, Shakey the Sergeant-Major ...
