    Bit of a generalisation Johnny Utah..so far it’s only 999 of CFC that’s agreed with the sacking. I think it’s an abysmal decision. Especially if it’s true about certain players repeatedly asking the owners directly for CR to be sacked. Anyway he’s gone now. In May we will see whether the owners decision was vindicated or not.

    Kante was sold but the vast majority of the title winners stayed. Ranieri has shown zero ambition this season except in the Champions League.

    Im not surprised to see him go, results are dire and I think the owners prefer taking the credits than letting Ranieri keep them.

    If the Foxes stay up it will have been the right call, if the dressing room implodes it will be the wrong one. I still think Leicester will have a strong finish to the season.

    The Premier League that everyone raves about was the ultimate killer along with SKY.

    It’s sheer greed. Leicester and any other club out there know how vital the stakes are and so cup competitions are compromised robbing the fans in not fielding regular first-teamers.

    It’s a disgrace, but the reality is that being relegated for Leicester themselves would cost them greatly in relation to tv revenue received which of course won’t be the full amount.

    This is obviously why there’s a greater emphasis on current table standards and Leicester have slid quite rapid. I don’t like the way the whole Claudio affair has been handled and that’s my angst towards all this. It’s as if last season’s achievements have been all swept like it never took place.

    But hey-hoh, this is the cruel cut-throat world we live in so maybe a change is a good as a rest.

    Many were delighted to see them succeed last season.

    Very few will shed a tear for them if they do actually go down.

    Nil, if you feel like that then why are you supporting Liverpool? Go and support your local non-league outfit. My uncle did that. For decades he was a Fulham supporter, when Al Fayed came in he dumped them because they sold their soul, according to him. He now only goes to watch non-league clubs. I admire him for that. He has beliefs and has acted accordingly. Hypocrisy is something I loathe and I am reading lots of it on here with people whinging about a system that they are willingly partaking in.

    Foxyfoxes its jealousy mate… I got high doubts about whether Ranieri could have built a new side without Kante. It’s still ruthless though, you are still in the Champions League and everyone predicted that you would struggle to juggle the league and Europe.
    I think the owners are focusing on Europe, hoping that a new manager with a cup record could see you progress there.

    Firing Ranieri was a panic move. They didn’t even have someone lined up, Mancini rejected their unofficial approach after they’d already pulled the trigger.

    Absolutely pathetic, I hope they get relegated twice.

    Johnny, with the greatest respect mate whatever my opinion on this may be it doesn’t equate to the opinion of all Chelsea fans so that’s just another cheap shot from you!

    I’ve supported every single Manager Chelsea have ever had going much much further back than the Abramovich era inc Rafa! And I’ve been a critic of Roman when he’s fired the Managers he has. And my views reflect the views of the majority of Chelsea fans that I know perhaps bar Rafa.

    I think it’s very sad that Claudio has lost his job and nobody would have wanted it all to end this way but I suggested a couple of weeks back that changing Managers might be now the only way to save Leicester and I stand by that but that doesn’t mean I like what happened it merely reflects given all the circumstances that I can understand why the owners took the decision they did.

    Interestingly there wasn’t this great moralistic outcry last season when Mourinho lost his job in not dissimilar circumstances perhaps because Ranieri is considered to be a nice guy and Mourinho isn’t.

    Very different scenario there Nine. Chelsea were among the favourites for the title whereas Leicester were 5000-1.

    Interesting interview with Kasper on sky sports, maybe I saw it wrong but he wouldn’t deny that the players had spoken with the owners about Ranieri, just kept saying that the accusations were hurtful, and he has no influence on any decisions taken by the owner. Had the chance to say no but didn’t take it….Pagan

    Kopite, not really when Mourinho got the sack Chelsea were sliding down the table and close to the bottom three and he had allegedly lost the dressing room so the circumstances at the time of Mourinho’s sacking were very similar to Ranieri’s circumstances now.

    But there was no moralistic outcry about Mourinho getting the sack then having won the title in the previous season in fact the reverse a number of opposition fans on here at the time seemed to glory in his demise.

    Yes Nine, they were sacked under similar circumstances but the expectations were vastly different. What were the odds on Chelsea being among the relegation candidates when compared to Leicester.

    Foxy, gods honest truth mate, if this scenario involved Liverpool and Klopp, even if we’d be facing relegation, I’ve endure the experience and wouldn’t call for his head. Furthermore, I’d expect the American owners to show loyalty during such a tough time, though I wouldn’t hold my breath and wouldn’t be surprised if they threw the axe on Klopp.

    Nothing to do with hypocrisy, so don’t quite understand how you’ve raised that to the surface of this topic. Give me league titles and surpassing United’s record, and I wouldn’t be to bothered at all every week if our results fluctuated. That’s how I’d like to live it as a fan of football, not be caught up with all this business lark because it means nothing to me as I don’t gain anything at all financially.

    Yet you called for the heads of Benitez, Hodgson and Rodgers Nil.

    For different reasons Nine and neither of them by common ground won the League Title. That’s the key piece of detail my friend.

    Ranieri on the other hand did. And besides, Rafa was on his 5th year and the club completely regressed so it was an indicator that a change was needed. Ranieri on the other hand barely 2 years and he gets the axe.

    Nil, Rafa won the CL with probably the greatest turnaround the CL will ever see , Hodgson did struggle from the start but Rodgers all but won Liverpool the title and none of them took Liverpool anywhere near relegation but you wanted them all gone.

    Mourinho lost his job in very similar circumstances to Ranieri but got very little sympathy from opposition fans in fact the reverse there was somewhat of a glorying in Mourinho’s demise.

    Perhaps the above is a little of the hypocrisy that foxy is hinting at?

    Well Nine, the hypocrisy (I hope) isn’t at me and I stand by everything, past and present, so you may go ahead and remind me but there was only so much time the Champions League trophy card could be played.

    Anyway, this topic is about Ranieri in which he got a chance to say goodbye to his players but was with the owners which seems to me as if he was escorted and couldn’t be trusted to be left alone to spend a few monents – pretty low really to be treating such a wonderful gentleman.

    Believe me, he is well regarded by the Leicester community and wouldn’t be surprise if on Monday night, some form of protestations are raised.

    Nil, I saw that Ranieri had visited the training ground to say goodbye to the players but haven’t seen anything else about being accompanied by the owners.

    Can’t see why the owners would be worried about him saying anything untoward to any of the players he’s not that kind of fella.

    The Leicester fans do seem split in terms of agreeing or not agreeing with the owners decision I don’t know how far and how deep any feelings are against the owners by the Leicester fans but if they’re sensible they will just get behind the team on Monday night because they desperately need points and Liverpool will be a very tough game for them.

    Nine, once the dust settles, then we’re likely to find out more. He has up to now handled the media well with dignity and has maintained his counsel.

    Cheers
