You're doing exactly what Ive said you'd do - Ranieri throughout his entire career makes an incredible start at all of his clubs and then when it goes wrong for whatever reason - there's suggestions he gets repetitive and players get bored and switch off - he simply cannot get it back on track.

He will 100% not be Lester manager by the end of next season.
Not to dissimilar to Stevey Bruce then really though I'm probably being too generous as SB has a history of getting promoted with a club only to get relegated again ?
More like Colin Warnock & Dave Bassett !
 
Ranieri had the final say as far as I've read it ... apparently he often watched the reserves with Pecini - Pecini had mentioned a really good kid playing for Lyon reserves (I think) so they duly watched that game together ... Ranieri was suitably impressed ... Pecini kept tabs on the kid's availability and alerted Ranieri when that came to pass .. Ranieri then sanctioned the signing ...

Ranieri does IMHO have an impressive history in the youth developmnt sphere ... brought Mendietta through from youth ranks at Valencia ... same with John Terry at Chelsea (where he also signed Fat Frank and Claude Makalele) ... perhaps the best one was when he was at Napoli and Maradona was leaving ... go out and replace with an expensive purchase? ... or bring someone through from the youth set-up? ... enter centre stage a diminutive pimply youth .... Gianfranco Zola.

I'm more than happy to have him as manager ... as you might have worked out <laugh>

I don't think he can really take the credit for Terry, he'd already played 15 first team games in the season before Ranieri took over.

... maybe ... but Terry wasn't particularly impressive until after Ranieri had signed Wayne Bridge and encouraged him to bring his girlfriend to training sessions ... thinking outside the box you see ... or perhaps in it ... like JT did ... on several occasions ...
 
Excuse the intrusion guys but my fellow fox , FF meant we are the only unbeaten team that includes league and cup matches so far!
I don't think Brighton and Pompey are still in the cup are they so perhaps in conclusion they have indeed been beaten this season !!
Should just give the trophies to Leicester now saves time
 
If mahrez and vardy get injured you'll be screwed . They are carrying the rest of your team.


..hmm .... yet neither played agsinst West Ham on Tuesday (OK Mahrez did come on in the 82nd minute) ... virtually the same West Ham that had won so impressively at Man City at the weekend ...

It's always good to get the views of intelligent, insightful, informed football fans ... if you should bump into one perhaps you could get them to write a couple of posts for you?

Fingers crossed they can stay injury free though you better hope Livermore can stay DRUG FREE. !!

It's not vardy getting injured you should be worried about , it's him beating up the Japanese forward you have signed you should be more concerned about , how about a bonding session down the casino !
