Another one failed at being a manager without first proving his credentials as a coach and assistant manager. No doubt he’ll soon be on TV telling managers where they are going wrong.

Ranieri now Roma boss, next time I go for an interview gonna ask him for tips!

In his defence he's a bit of a legend at Roma. He's from a Roma area of the city and boyhood fan of the club. In his last spell as manager he was minutes away from winning an unexpected title with them. He even referenced it when he got the job this time - he said he had unfinished business with Roma because of it and even winning the league with Leicester hasn't been enough to get rid of the pain of missing out on the title with Roma on the last day of the season. Importantly as well, he's got Totti's seal of approval.

I know he's had some massive ups and downs over his career, but say what you like about him but he's a genuinely nice bloke by all accounts and a passionate Roma fan. His record in Italy is actually pretty respectable too to be fair to him.

Scholes never really struck me as the manager type. Not really surprised to see him move on, but the speed at which he's decided to throw in the towel is amazing.

Steve McClaren: QPR sack ex-England manager after less than year in charge - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47773297

No mention of him using an umbrella ?
I think he has been hard done by, at the start of the season who expected them to be doing this well?
Not to worry another mug chairman will employ him soon enough.
Explain to me how he has mugged them off when they literally had a squad of youth players at the start of the season

Unbelievable!

Do they really think they be doing much better with that squad? It's not exactly littered with good players.

Wow.

He got them promoted to the PL for the first time ever and has just secured them their third successive season in the top flight.

The squad he has really should have been relegated.

They’re deluding themselves.
