Fucking disgraceful, after all he's done for the club!
Those players and fans who called for his head should now hang theirs in shame!
This from Ranieri:
'I could leave last season, I won the title and I had something with other teams but I wanted to stay here because I knew it was a difficult year. 'I came here to build, to build something good for Leicester, for everybody. I keep going, I maintain my mind in this way. I forget the title and I want to achieve something good for the fans, chairman and the city.'
He's a class act and a gentleman .. Chelsea fucked him over too, when Mourinho arrived .. Think he turned down Italy job too to stay with Leicester .. Many clubs would have him ..
It's a funny old game ain't it, this time last year Leicester were everyone's favourite's apart from Spuds fans to win the title, now it appears their everyone's favourite to go down!

My mate who is a Leicester fan says his sacking has done his head in. Totally in shock.
In a nutshell for me all that's wrong with modern football. I'd have sacked the players, have watched them alot, but what i did see they looked disinterested after signing fat new contracts

Is the right answer. He should have been able to walk when he wanted. Go back to beginning of last season....how many relegations would the owners have taken if the flip side was win the pl? My guess that have traded dropping to div 2 at least if it meant winning the league. Now a few months later relegation is unacceptable.....joke. just a joke. Decent man fucked over again. Hope Leicester do a Charlton and drop without trace
"The nightmares invading the sleep of Bayern fans involve four horsemen of the Champions League Apocalypse riding towards them. As the faces come into focus, they will recognise Frank Lampard, Cole, Petr Cech and Drogba. All were immense..."

Fuck modern football.
The 'new age' owners are the problem, first and foremost they are business men, they are in it for the money. They have no interest in the football side, it's purely for the profit, fans, fuck 'em!
we we're one of the greatest stories ever…. I saw business presentations featuring us, showing how a team coming together could achieve great things against the odds…. I had business colleagues in far flung places of the world who'd heard of my town and I felt proud
We were the miracle club, the overachievers…. The team that lots of neutrals cheered on
Now 'doing a Leicester' will linked to disloyalty and backstabbing
I feel really ashamed and embarrassed
When I ever I hear 'business' being linked to football it makes my skin crawl…. I know what money has done for my club in the past and happily embraced it, but, it all feels a little sour now
The bloke should have been given a contract for life after last season, all that has happened this year is that Leicester have reverted to type, they are a side who will battle relegation.
A lot of those players will and should feel awful though, definitely don't seem to reach the same performance level as they did last term.
Heard someone on the radio say, that with Ranieri in charge, nobody would have liked to see Leicester go down, now with the way they have treated them, most will hope that they drop and I tend to agree.
I watched the game on wednesday and thought that could be a bit of a turning point for them to potentially progress to the nxt round and secure their premiership survival.....

My mate said the same Reggie although he did add that they could easily have lost 5 or 6-1 too . I didn't watch it so can't really comment but the away goal could be crucial.
I'm sure the season before they won the league they almost went down, to win the league was unreal, complete fantasy, they are doing well in the CL, I still think they'll progress, all that money that must have brought in, so I now put them in with Palace who I'd like to see go down .. Fat fuck conman Sam, and these shag bags who've let down a real Gentleman .. My team are no better, I know, but this is a disgrace .. If they do go down, they'll really struggle to come back I think ..
Fucking disgraceful, I hope they get relegated now. The crazy thing is that if they'd had a 'normal' Leicester season last year ie: just avoiding relegation, then he wouldn't have got sacked now.
