So, Leicester fans, was this sacking also fully justified? Was the man who saved you from relegation last year taking you down this year and so deserving of the bullet? Or is the reality your owners are mentalists with unreal expectations? Discuss.
Sacked the man who won them the Prem. Sacked the man who then kept them in the Prem. Ungrateful ****ers.
I'd have given him a bit longer if he had learnt from his mistakes and dared to start the next game with the same set up as we finished last night. Being unadventurous and negative has cost him. Never nice to see someone sacked especially whose been a huge part of the club for years. I just hope we aren't going to replace him with someone negative and have someone willing to introduce some more exciting football
I think it's clear having been watching us recently that he's just in above his head. He got a bounce initially but it's all now reverted to what it was before. Personally I think the players need looking at
I think it's a bit of everything. I don't think he'd have taken us down but we certainly weren't progressing. Something inside the club (above Shakespeare's level) really stinks at the moment. The whole Ranieri business, the laughable transfer window, the decision to give an unqualified man (a gentleman, but unqualified man) the reigns when we'd just come off the back of a quarter final in the Champions League season... the list piles up. I think I'd have given him a bit longer myself but I can't say his sacking is totally unjustified. Would have been ideal to agree to get a proper manager in so he can go back to being a really top quality coach again.
Many times it usually is, problem is you can't sack 11+ players. Your board never helped matters though what with the Drinkwater/ Silva situation. A few at the top should be joining Shakespeare through the exit door.
Absolutely right. I said this when people slagged off the Ranieri sacking that you can't sack all the players. They need to be gradually dropped, shipped out and replaced. There something wrong at the club and it's not directly the owners as they employ people on the board. The transfer fiasco was a farce and we need some people clearing out from above
I can forgive valiant losses to Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. My guess its because of the piss poor performances against Huddersfield, Bournemouth and WBA last night.
The current favourites for the job are: Sam Allardyce, Chris Coleman, Roberto Mancini, Alan Pardew, Michael Appleton, Carlo Ancelotti and David Moyes.
Was just about to mention those two. Opposite ends of the managerial spectrum. They'll probably end up with Pardew.
