Had completely "lost the dressing room" and there's no way he was keeping us up but still very sad. Odd timing after a decent result and second half performance last night as well.
Yeah, I've kind of been expecting it for a few weeks but not today after getting the 2-1 last night. Something must have blew up.
The players are a disgrace in all this too if you're looking at blame.
We did sack Pearson and then reinstated him two hours later and subsequently stayed up so maybe we're trying that again.
Claudio
If true I really, really hope they go down.
Fuck off Lee.
Want to take Zola off our hands? Please?
I was only wondering the other day how he'd done since the 'crime against football' hiring of him. Shit I take it then?Originally Posted by 7om
Absolutely woeful. 1 win in 14 and closer to relegation than the playoffs. We were IN the fucking playoff zone when he took over.
They're sacking him in the middle of the two legs of a Champions League stage? Weird timing. I would have thought WINNING THE LEAGUE would have bought him the rest of the season.
Bruce is also a hilarious appointment. So good.
Fucking hell.
Remember who their owners are. Plastic fucks shite nothing club back to where they belong or on the way at least.
Confirmed:
They should have cashed in on all the wankers when they had the chance. A shame, but he definitely bows out as King Of The Chancers
It makes sense, and nobody will care if they stay up.
Roberto Mancini is so desperate for a job that he's appearing on the Italian version of Strictly this weekend. He is over-rated enough to be a possible candidate for this.
It doesn't make sense. They could have built a BRAND on the back of being the doomed romantics who stood against the immediacy of modern life. Now they're just another shit midlands club who will never do anything again, and history will record Claudio as the hero of 15/16 spurned for a shit winter run.
Players want Pearson back
Never a dull moment.
Let's remember a centre back pairing of Wes Morgan and Robert fucking Huth won the premier league. Let that sink in.
Who is the dressing room leader? At Chelsea it used to be Drogba and when you lost him, it was sacky sacky time.Players want Pearson back
Never a dull moment.
Didier always knew though. Whoever is doing the same job up there must be a retard.
Vardy. Case closed.
The Leicester Phantom Manager would probably be Keith Vaz.
Schmeichel.
Is it fuck. He's a cowardly shit. It's probably Huth or someone equally as uninteresting/uninspiring.
It'll be Vardy, post I read a while back on their fan forum basically laid all the blame at that chav cunt. He's just a new Stephen Ireland.
He's lost basically everyone but Schmeichel is the loudest voice in that dressing room trust me.
Martin Samuel has done his best Tony Parsole and calls this proof that football 'has truly lost its purpose and its soul'. The reason they are so desperate to stay in the most watched league in the world is that Leicester City effectively serves as a giant advert for King Power. If you want to be mawkish about these things, is that not a more damning indictment of the sport?
Coming just days after that fat lad ate a pie for money as well. THE GAME HAS GONE.
I wonder how far a proper football journalist would get relentlessly hammering all of this shite like some footballing Peter Oborne. There are probably rules about it somewhere, and an approved list of targets for asides about rampant commercialisation (The Sun, foreign owners who don't win things). The corporate tickets might start to dry up, but somebody would publish it.
If you want access to the famous stars (which sell papers) you wouldn't bother. There must be a market for a Guido Fawkes-style whispers website though.
There are some relatively big clubs like Newcastle and Forest which have started banning critical journalists/publications from their games. Well, and Liverpool, I guess.
Not so much that stuff, but when Roman Abramovich had that court case he claimed that in nineties Russia people were being killed every three days over aluminium rights. To say he ended up dominating that sector, why has nobody bothered to ask the obvious? It must simply be a case of not shitting on your own doorstep, because otherwise the same people hammering Qatar day and night would be asking the same questions of people a bit closer to home.
S'all in the game, yo. No one benefits from sending the gravy train off the rails.
I don't understand why there aren't more angry outsiders EXPOSING things though.
Maybe if I send enough crank letters to Football365 they will groom me as the new John Nicholson.
'I was outside Boothferry Park once with this imaginary-yet-relevant bit of skirt...'
The meltdown seethe on social media is pretty incredible.
Imagine the seethe if Leicester stay up and win the Champions League.
With Mancini in charge? Oof.

The tone of that.
Even the quotes around 'said' in the second paragraph speak volumes. He's one forty million quid transfer to China away from going full Howard Beale.The Claudio Ranieri sacking is a despicable act of felony which shows how football has lost touch with its soul
Can't say it's a surprise, they've been wank all season, relegation for them would spell utter disaster with the contracts given out.
Uproar is comedy nevertheless, especially the idiots suggesting for them to go down and bounce back.
Pretty sure, Forest, Bolton, Blackburn, Derby, Wolves, Birmingham, Sheffield Wednesday etc etc all thought the same. Going down is easy, getting back is not.
lol at Corporate Jose in his 'CR' training shirt, not at all still seething about his own sacking.
That's probably the scousest Mourinho's ever done, although Claudio himself is highly non-scouse it must be said.
Utterly disgraceful.
Whoever said that the should name the stadium after him instead was 100% correct.
Purposely forgetting to mention the biggest club by far.
I think Aston Villa need a few more seasons before they get a mention.
Leicester themselves have been in League One in recent memory, so presumably their fans know you can come back.
"...but mostly to the supporters. You took me into your hearts from day one and loved me. I love you too. No one can ever take away what we together achieved, and I hope you think about it every day and smile every day the way I always will. It was a time of wonderfulness and happiness that I will never forget. It's been a pleasure and an honour to be a champion with all of you."
'Enjoy the First Division lmao'

Christ, it's like putting a puppy down.
Puppy doesn't get a large wad of cash before the injection though.
Coming to an Arsenal near you. Meanwhile, after much soul searching, recently sacked John Carver heads into Leicester with his briefcase of Sir Bobby's belongings.
The statement from the owner, which appeared to be typed himself on his iPhone in a hurry, was a laugh.
