They won the **** league, they should be rightly furious that he didn't build on that whatsoever. If you play that title winning season 100 times, that team finish outside the top ten in 80 of them in my opinion. It was an absolute freak of a result, I think building on that team would have meant mid-table. Regardless of the natural position of the club, the natural position of that team is not in the top six, eight or ten of the Premier league, add age into that, especially in their two centre backs and it becomes a fairly big job to keep Leicester in a decent position. This wasn't the best team in the league last season, it was the most confident, the luckiest, the least injured, there was alchemy, magic and something special in the results and the way things went - there wasn't quality all over the park. For me, the sacking of Ranieri because of Leicester's position is like being annoyed that having won last week's lottery, this week they didn't even get three numbers - it's not my club and if it works for them then fair enough, but I think they've gotten the idea in their head somewhere along the line that they deserved to be champions on the quality of their team. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with any of this. They should have used the title win to build on and make the team better than it used to be. But they're not mid table. They're looking set for relegation. They're as bad as they were before Ranieri came, despite having the success of a Premier League win to build with. He's done a poor job this season, and the club had to act if they want to stay in the league. I'm surprised at the amount of people who think relegation is acceptable regardless of what happened before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, looking back at some of the games and results of last season it really is incredible. That Vardy volley goal against Liverpool for example, it's hard to explain how that was even possible looking at him now this season and the season before last.

You're assuming they would've gone down under him. They weren't in the bottom 3 the day he was sacked. If they go down now, the decision will prove to be even more hilariously bad.

To protect them from relegation. I accept they might not have gone down, but it's a distinct possibility because they are woefully bad in the league, and the club were acting to give the new guy time to save them. If you could guarantee they'd stay up I'd wager the club wouldn't have sacked him. If they go down now, the only thing that'll prove to be hilariously bad is the man they appoint to replace him.

OutByEaster? Posted February 27, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 27, 2017 Vardy got away with a horrible one there - it's on the opening 20 seconds so there's not much fuss - I think that was at least yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Leicester should be 4 up here. Sums up modern day Football this.
