I doubt they'd win the second leg anyway but yeah the timing of this is weird, thought it would have been done after they lost to Swansea the last league game Can only assume they've agreed something with a new manager in secret or the players have completely revolted Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the hype has probably gone to their heads and created massive egos They were all journeymen and underachievers before last season and as much as they deserve all the credit they got it was a real freak, it didn't turn them world class all of a sudden Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 They're getting relegated; good move to try and save them. He's lost the dressing room due to his inability to stick with a settled side. And let's not kid ourselves, there is big big big connection why Leicester won the title last year and why Chelsea are going to win this year and it ain't the Italian manager. And Vardy made a big mistake not bolting when his stock was sky high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 82,177 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just had a look at one of their forums and their fans wanted it. Giving it more thought I'd probably be the same had similar happened to us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromDeAnglais 5,470 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Don't really know what changing the manager will achieve tbh, I've heard Ranieri is too nice and too much of a gentleman but really, the hunger is no longer there in the squad. Kante is gone Mahrez looks like the £400,000 player they originally paid for. Morgan now has his own clothing range. Simpson now has his own series of salons. Vardy is helping write a film about himself. What the fuck did anyone expect? Ranieri has probably lost a bit of hunger after last season but Leicester will never have a season like that again, to sack him after a more than decent result in the CL, 1 goal away from the quarters is sickening. Hope Seville put 5 past them and they go down. The board deserve it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 He would have walked at the end of the season anyway. Let the guy go out with a bit of dignity, what a shite way to treat the manager who brought you your greatest ever hour Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If he had lost the dressing room there was really no point in keeping him there. There is no room for sentiment in football. Bringing in a new manager certainly won't guarantee their safety from relegation, but it's worth the gamble as the player's are more likely to turn things around under a new gaffer rather than someone they have seemingly lost faith in.

RFC55 108,841 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I hate that shitey fucking league. diddy teams galore that think they're some sort of world beaters. Spurs out on their arse from a Belgian side who are pish. Arsenal anhilated, city on edge against Monaco and Spurs also went out an easyish champions league group. Fucking love when the Europeans show the shower of shite up for what they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
