Remember him at inter, glorious times

Great b8 m8.

>f-football is a business mate, n-no room for sentimentality

Because they sacked him halfway through a CL round, after publicly endorsing him and under the probable influence of traitorous players. They had every right to sack him but it's been terribly handled.

biggest underdog story in sport history
lestah won the prem
they let pearson attempt to get out of relegation scrap and only just managed it on the final day
yet the man who made them world famous doesnt get the same chance

>>74382699
Give me 1 reason why he shouldn't have been sacked.
Leicester are the worst performing side in the league by far.

Football isn't some Disney fantasy story. Sorry you didn't get your happy ending.

>>74382728
Leicester played well under Pearson. Everyone said in 2014/15 that Leicester played well.

Leicester didn't lose a single game that single by more than 2 goals.

Now it's fucking atrocious every week.

>>74382670
How shit is your league when even an autistic Italian who makes his players obese can win the title with a bunch of gypsies and Jamac ainsin his squad?

>>74382709

This.

If they'd lost the 2nd leg to Sevilla and then sacked him i'd have no problem with it but to sack him off the back of what was a good result away from home was just stupid.

>>74382759
>Under Ranieri, Leicester were 17th, with 21 points from 25 games. He got the boot. Two years ago, with Pearson, they were 20th after 25 games with just 17 points. He got to stick around despite his odd behaviour: grabbing opposing players by the throat during games, swearing at fans and, of course, calling someone an ostrich and then boasting that he was "flexible enough" to put his head "in the sand." He got to stay and, of course, complete a great escape.

>>74382831
t. moron who didn't watch Leicester until half through last season.

Next two games:

Liverpool (H)
Hull (H)

He really should have been told that if he didn't at least beat Hull he'd be sacked.

>>74382884
Difference is that they weren't in the relegation zone, a fact that didn't change between the loss to Swansea and the loss to Sevilla

>>74382831
Pearson was managing a freshly promoted team that barely spent a penny on their squad.

Ranieri was managing a team in their 3rd year in the Prem that spent over 100m on transfers since he was appointed.

There's also something called trends. Pearson's Leicester started visibly improving after a while, Ranieri's Leicester looked worse and worse as the season progressed and being unable to score in 6 consecutive league games is rock bottom.

>relegation zone

But they've never been in the bottom 3 with Ranieri as manager.

They are in a hard spot in the League but still outside relegation position and 1 goal away from CL quarter final.

Surely winning the EPL and CL group with Leicester City they would at least allow him to play CL run finished?

They have fucking Wes Morgan and Robert Huth in defence

>>74383063
This point 2 years ago they had 1 point through 5 games
That's not a good trend

>>74383063
everyone knew this would happen with CL football. Give the guy a year, how did he not earn it?

>>74383118
>This point 2 years ago they had 1 point through 5 games
And those games had some close ones that they were unlucky to lose. The team was already playing better.

This time they're just getting outclassed every week.

>>74383157
Literally nobody tipped them to struggle for survival. The most pessimistic scenarios had them back in lower mid table.

>>74383249
>Literally nobody tipped them to struggle for survival. The most pessimistic scenarios had them back in lower mid table

Wrong.

Ranieri said himself their goal next season is to stay up.

Only delusional faggots thought otherwise.

They have a Championship tier team.

Players got used to CL and caviar which made them forget that they are nothing of individual quality

>>74383294
>Ranieri said himself their goal next season is to stay up.
"Our goal is to stay up" doesn't equal "We're going to be in the bottom 5 and battle against relegation"

>>74383086
They moved into the relegation zone today (but have a game in hand) because of Fat Sam blatantly cheating his way to 3 points.

>>74383330
It literally does

Ending 17th/18th means you stay up.

Delusional people just dont understand that they are a Championship tier squad.

>>74383330
Also
>giving a shit about what the managers say
90% of the time they just downplay expectations to take the pressure off and reduce the significance of potential failure.

>>74382694
inters already shit when he came

>>74383249
That was after 7 points in 3 games
I can't say that's "playing better"
They were trending downard

I did the day they "won" the PL, I promise it wasnt just shitposting

>>74382979
so that he quits cl and lose to liberpool 5-0, just so he can plan a 1-0 narrow win vs hull. well, no.

Guys, quit with those sztatistics between the 2 coaches.
he was sacked coz the team isnt working. and honestly it aint.
that 2-1 on cl is delusional.

You're cherry picking two ridiculous opinions from two different ends of the spectrum.

Kante was to good to stay, he had a 20m buy or clause to any other Champions League team, he helped achieve monumental things, it will never be forgotten clearly.

Leicester have been shit all season bar ManC home and 3 Champions League games, everything else has been shit, nearly 2_months without a League goal, endless comments in the press about turning it around and getting nasty; nothing changed, it got worse.

People are feeling their belief in a club they never before cared about and which represented some personal fairytale hope is not what it seems, it's football.

Leicester have been on an upwards trajectory for a while, this is not a case of dying at the top of Everest, this is a case of plotting another route and getting the ropes tight for the next stage.

Leicester City are the Premier League Champions, Claudio is a Champion

Because he is nice. He is that nice old man that everyone likes. And whom happened to make Lestah champions. Once you drop the shallow stuff and look at him as a trainer first you will realize that this decision was justified.

>le buy young strikers for millions of pounds and not use them man
>le "calm down u guise we are not really good" man
>Claudio "If he ain't like Ronaldo, then he ain't ready for the PL la" Ranieri
>le "play a 4 man midfield while having 5 midfielders in total" trainer

>Literally nobody tipped them to struggle for survival.

Those people don't know anything about Leicester, They were in the championship for 10 years, and prior to dropping down they had pretty bad PL form. The way Leicester are perfoming right now is normal for them, what happened last season was a huge abnormality.

The problem is that because they did win the league last year, it seems like the owners have gotten a bit too carried away with themselves and made a rash decision without thinking about it.

Kante is really fucking good.

>>74383554
that's why it was such a big deal

if a team of part time bin men won serie a no one would care because shit teams winning is par for the course in italy

but in england winning the league without a world class manager and squad is unheard of

Everyone knows that football is a cold-hearted business. But Leiecester winning the PL made people believe that it was more than that. You had a team of underdogs playing levels above what they should be capable of and a manager who is just a nice old man who loves football. The entire nation fell in love with Leicester because they did the unthinkable and turned football into a game where anything can happen. Ranieri was symbol of last season's magic, which is why people hate that he's been sacked.

Besides, he didn't exactly get a bad result in the Champions League. They should have at least waited after the second leg before they sacked him. Ranieri deserves his chance in the Champions League so they should have at least waited until Leicester were inevitably knocked out.

>>74384704
serie a is to inteligent for modern football

i wonder if they didn't sack him sooner because they were afraid of the backlash. like they're getting now.

the owners would rather stay in the league for 10 years even at midtable than win the title then go down.

>muh loyalty

their record in 2017 is worse than all the teams in the english top 4 leagues

he deserved to go

all this team needs is another thai hooker scandal

Where do we think Mahrez will be off to? Ligue 1? or somewhere mid-table in England like West Brom?

>>74388016
China if he's smart.

>>74385353
I mostly agree, the timing was bad.
But stuff spouted by media heads that he should have stayed with Leicester to League Two relegation is nonsense
All this outrage is essentially a media circlejerk- build up a team, knock them down.

Who's his replacement?
