Fosse serious question

Was there an issue between Ranieri and Shakespeare when he left Leicester

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

Is that why you're writing essays about it with every post? <laugh> Yeh you're not bothered at all lol.

It's only been 24 hours since the link broke and you've been posting thesis about how you're not bothered... throwing in the FA Cup every other post <laugh>

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 ...
