Tbf, they did the same against Man City. Remains to be seen whether they will actually be good again

Didn't Woy take Fulham to the EL final? Surely he can get Leicester out the championship or at the very least, a johnstone's paint trophy.

The Leicester owners are Malysians, who love their betting syndicates.

Gary Lineker is 250/1 for the job...

Lump on!

The silence from him about the players going behind ranieri's back is pretty telling imo. Shame no one posted the picture of him when he was banged clean out on a Manchester pavement one night, when they were giving him shit for domestic violence and pointed out fighting girls is about his level
All of the ones I've seen asked have either denied it was them or just not answered. So no one did it then? some clearly did. I wonder how many will be off in the summer, regardless of where they finish.

Ramos hasn't won the league in his previous season with us though.

And after our league cup win our league form was quite atrocious the rest of the season.

Plus we weren't Leicester Fucking City.

Martin Keown says Craig Shakespeare is "out of order" for wanting the Leicester job.

What works do these idiot pundits live in? The Leicester board have had their decision to sack Ranieri vindicated. Why should Shakespeare put his ambition on hold because of a previous manager's failings?

Agreed. As it happens, I think Martin Keown is "out of order" too, the order in question being this one...

I thought Keown was out of order going straight from being a player to a pundit on match of the day.

I actually think he has a point :D

The players don't come out of this very well and his saying he wants the job leaves him open to similar and adds to it all. How hard did he try? Was he one of the prominent backstabbers? How much did he support Ranieri? It leaves him open to criticism, an opening which I am more than happy to walk through. The lot of them are snidey snakey slippery ****s. Pretty much everyone wants them to go down and between them they've tainted the whole club, the 'fairytale', football and the fish and chip shop around the corner.

One can only hope that the BBC Sports personailty of the year show has a category for one of the biggest acts of treachery since Benedict Arnold got on his horse and told his mrs he was just going out for some milk.

:woot:

This is an interesting topic at the moment.

On one hand, my initial thoughts were bunch of scummy ****s stabbing Ranieri in the back, who had won them the title last season.

But another part of me is wondering maybe if people had gotten frustrated if Ranieri had changed things this season and was mucking around with what they had been doing successfully - in a if it isn't broken don't fix it kinda way.

Last season Ranieri played a pretty much set in stone 4-4-2 and had a very clear starting eleven and tactics.

This season he's been tinkering with things again and much as I like the guy he has been sacked a LOT in the past.

Shakespeare has come in, restored the 4-4-2 with the same players from last season (bar Kante who they have now seemed to have replaced adequately with Ndidi) and the players are alluding that things have been made 'simple' again.

One view point that can be taken is that the players stabbed Ranieri in the back.

The other view point is that if you put yourselves in a position where you're very successful and suddenly the boss starts making weird changes to your tactics, personnel and asking people to do things in different way, wouldn't you be pissed off if you then were far less successful? Why would you change a formula that has proven so successful?

We can all look from outside and judge them, but what if Ranieri did actually just go whacky and started fucking about with things and generally fucking up?

As a player would you be able to just go in and take your money without getting a bit angry and feeling that you should be doing better?

Ranieri has been called the tinkerman in the past for his weird player selections (notably at Chelsea) and to be honest most would have thought last summer he was a very odd choice for their managerial post).

My opinion on this is not set in stone as I liked Ranieri and feel the players should have worked harder for him but it just does make you wonder a bit how someone can go from winning title to being sacked.

That being said, they could have at least offered him a Director of Football post as not sure someone like Shakespeare would be able to get the players he could.
