Absolutely mate, not knocking their achievements at all - like Stoke and their anti-football, all the way back to the Crazy gang, there's more than 1 way to play football. They found a way, everybody had cottoned on too late and the league was won.

The only issue I have with Leicester is the way Ranieri was 'disposed' of... Seville Daniel please, Seville.

Well thats their decision I guess. Like you, thought it was sad, but in this day and age, were you that surprised?

The owners called the meeting with the players in Seville, the players did not go to them.

Why wouldn't Danny Simpson answer plain and simple? Nip the rumours in the bud?

Absolutely not mate, no place for sentiment in football anymore, sad to see really.

Just a bit of a barbaric end for Ranieri, speaks volumes about how he was thrown aside by the amount of support he's had.

Because it would be seen as throwing your actual boss (the owners) under the bus I'd guess.

Plus I'd imagine because it's got sod all to do with anyone outside the club.

Very true, it would also underline the fact that everybody thinks that the players are backstabbing Judases who threw in the towel.

Just going to throw this edit in. Our players did exactly the same last season so I'm not preaching or proclaiming we are holier than thou'.

It was about three weeks ago Ranieri was asked if the players were behind him. He said "If the players don’t believe in me any more, they must go to the chairman and ask for change.” Like I said, they didn't... but the owners are massively hands on. As Kasper said in his interviews the other day the owners speak all the time. Did they ask the players opinions, I'm sure they did and I'd hope the players were honest, because a change was needed.

Do you think the players have been playing for Ranieri mate?

For anyone not really getting how Leicester fans feel, or what's gone on these are spot on. If you want to slate the club I'd urge you to at least give these a read.

I would just ignore people mate, especially on here. I can't believe the reaction of some people who genuinely believe Ranieri should have been allowed to take you down. After last season under Martinez and people on the outside saying "it's only everton... what do you expect" as Martinez was taking us down the table, I would have thought more people on here would have some sympathy with you.

I can't say they've been playing for him, not in the sense they think he's great and bought into what he's doing. But I don't think they've stopped playing to get him out of a job.

Like in all jobs, sometimes you can have manager at work that makes you feel like total [Poor language removed], you dread going in, you don't trust them and you don't believe in what they are going. Other times you might have one that you love, you buy into their ideas totally and they get something extra from you.

Management isn't just picking a team or tactics it's dealing with people. If a manager is failing to get the best of their staff, whether it's Tesco, Everton or Leicester... whose fault is that? The staff for "not trying". Or the manager for not getting the best out of them?

What they've looked like is a group of players resigned to relegation, confidence on the floor, looking for answers from those who should have them and they didn't get anything back.
 

That caretaker manager Sheakespeare: comes a cross as a horrible little upstart. He's shown very little sympathy towards Ranieri and is obviously sucking up to the turds who stabbed his boss in the back and sucking up to those disgraceful owners who have demonstrated how completely unsuited they are to our football culture.

I hope Leicester are relegated, I really do.
 
Looking forward to the new manager coming in and everyone forgetting about these again until their inevitable relegation in the next few years so I don't have to hear about them any more.
