The only person we've not heard from is the man people are feeling sorry for: Claudio Ranieri himself. I am sure he will have signed an agreement not to reveal the details of his settlement in exchange for a nice big pay-out. I am equally sure he will have agreed to certain targets when things started to go pear shaped, which he has now failed to meet. The big losers in this are the fans of Leicester City. The press and everyone else are loving it.

However, this might be bad for the six other teams in danger of relegation because it's probably what is going to save Leicester from the drop.

If the Leicester owners feel like they can't trust him to keep them up and have faith in another manager they had to sack him.
Last season is an irrelevance in the decision.

I for one am sorry to see him go - but understand why it had to happen.
He brought grace, good manners and dignity to the dugout, as well as tons of Italian style.
Good luck, Claudio. And congratulations again for leading Leicester to an historic title win.

There's only one Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha
Can't see where they'll get a manager with Ranieri's European experience, just Prem survival now, would love to see Allardyce jump ship and take two teams down in one season.
Why don't they have a transfer window for managers?

I thought they might well have pulled the trigger after the FA Cup game. But very odd timing the day after a reasonable result (if not performance) in Seville It's been an unbelievably erratic 2 years for them. It was about now 2 years ago when they went on that unbelievable run of form over the latter part of the season and shot up the table. They continued that form over a full season following. We're talking about a 15 or 16 month period where they were quite easily the best team in the country. We're not talking by a couple of points either. They were miles ahead of the rest. I remember seeing a stat which stated they had picked up 10 points more than anybody else in that period (it may have been more than that actually). They've gone from that to a team struggling to stay up. Maybe Kante was that important. I was saying this to my mate last night. Whilst the press and pundits were wanking over Vardy and Mahrez their best and most influential players walked off to Chelsea without much of a fuss. It is for me their undoing. H

Money talks. Relegation will mean too much financially whereas I imagine most supporters couldn't give a shiny shite. I like Hughes but it's telling when consecutive 9th place finishes lead to greater job security than actually winning the greatest prize in English football and slightly teetering on the brink of relegation the following season. I can only hope Coates wouldn't push the panic button so soon. Ironically, if they hadn't have won the title and had finished 16th last season then he would probably still be in a job right now. A sad, sad day for football. Slight teetering??? 1 place and 1 point above the relegation places and can even end up bottom of the table in a bad weekend of results is more than a slight teetering.

I think they've done the right thing sacking him As much as I like claudio it's all about results and let's face it he'll be paid handsomely. Plus he'll not be out of work for long.
Only leicester and the players know what the problem is and I think mancini is a very good replacement

mancini always did relatively well (not very well) with big teams where he had loads of money to splash
never seen him trying to get a team out of the relegation trap
does he has the sturdiness, steel and determination for such a job ? I doubt it
my choice would be pardew
hope that whoever they choose will fail miserably in his task, they take the drop and this is also followed by successive relegations

No, I would say not even being in the relegation zone was a slight teetering. Not saying they're not in trouble but I do think it's premature. Success lf that magnitude should grant him immunity against relegation.

seemingly the players have been playing to get him sacked which is absolutely shocking if true.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
Matt Le Tissier pulled no punches on the radio this morning.
Fingers crossed, for no other reason than their players are clearly a bunch of absolute wankers, I hope they go down.

I completely disagree, he led the fans in shouting wanker at the ref at half time at our place this season, how he wasn't sent into the stands I do no know

Putting rivalry aside, it is a really sad day, finally confirms that football is just about the money with a lot of these owners. Leicester winning the title last year was one of the greatest achievements , in football, ever. Football is a results business but some achievements surpass that , gratitude is surely dead.

Success lf that magnitude should grant him immunity against relegation. it's not premature at all! If it was November or December it would be, but if they get into a relegation scrap now then it's bloody late in the day for them to suddenly hope for a good run. Nothing should give anyone immunity from being sacked if you look like you could well go down (and they do..not a single Prem goal in 2017 so far and one of the worst defences). The club is always, has always been and will always be bigger than any one individual. Football, and the future of the club has sod all to do with any kind of sentiment and rightly so.

Bollocks is it at all shocking for them to sack him.
Last year the Title was won by Nigel Pearsons team, who played exceptionally well and had one of if not the best defensive midfielder in the world in their team. Ranieri had very little influence in my eyes, never was there a game he made inspire subs etc. All of his signings this season have flopped, even a 30m striker.
Leicester have then chance that we have wanted for years, to use european football to cement themselves as a top 6 club by attracting better players etc. All what has been building in Leicester since League 1 promotion is about to be undone by relegation, largely due to the inept management of Claudio Ranieri.
Had enough of people calling Leicester embarassing, no room for sentiment in football whatsoever if you want to make it. He'll go down a legend in their history, best to get out now than suffer relegation.

His subs THIS season influenced the game let alone last season. Ulloa when he brought him on at our place changed the game. If you're going try argue the point at least use valid excuses, Jesus.

Apologies if this has been mentioned earlier.
TP to be appointed?
Do you think they'd go for him? Fighting chance of staying up.
Would he want to go?
Could be an interesting one 😊
