Don't understand the timing of that at all. 

Sacking him now is totally bizarre

They were lucky not to get battered, if they make a similar astute appointment as to what Hull did, they might just might scrape past Seville.

We were also lucky not to get battered against Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but we still won the competition. I think Ranieri deserved to see out the Champions League after what he helped them achieve last season. What they did last season was amazing, one of the greatest achievements the game has ever seen.

Hope they go down.

2012 - Mancini (sacked) 
2013 - Ferguson (retired) 
2014 - Pellegrini (not offered new contract) 
2015 - Jose (sacked)
2016 - Ranieri (sacked) 

Maybe Wenger is smarter than we knew! 

remember kids, never exceed expectation

Maybe they waited until they have a replacement lined up? I wonder who it will be.  

Mancini is favorite to be next Leicester boss with Rowett/Pardew and Warburton just in behind in the betting.

When you consider that the season before last they were fighting relegation and now they are fighting relegation, they are pretty much at the level their players are capable of. But between that, they pulled off one of the biggest achievements in the history of football. And the guy doesn't even get the full next season. It's astonishing how little loyalty there is in football any more and I really hope Lecesiter go down now and never come back.

I'm surprised they would do it now. They are still well in their Champions League tie. If they had lost it 3-0 then it would be more understandable, but not now.

Or maybe they saw still being in it as a lucky break? After all unless they win it this is the only shot at CL for a long time, they are probanly desperate for atleast one glamour tie.

Last season was incredible but he could only last so long on that alone.

His tactics all season has been baffling and yeah we did get battered to win it but soon after RDM showed he wasn't a great manager, as I've alluded too this is likelyLeicesters only ever shot at CL football and they will want to give themselves the best possible chance of making a good fist of it, and in mine (and quite clearly there) opinion that isn't Claudio.

No one expected them to retain the title, but after winning it and spending 70m they shouldn't have gone back to fighting relegation.

They had a glorious chance to use last season to establish themselves as a top 7/8 club long term and they blew it.

Warburton  Guys terrible 

De Boer Maybe? 

Utterly bizarre timing. Thank you Claudio for the legend you leave behind - not only did you essentially build the best team that ever played in this league, you also performed the greatest miracle in its history.

Speaking as a football fan and as someone who calls Leicester home: Thank you boss. We will never, ever, forget you.

 

I'm joining ABP - Anyone But Pardew

 

(Hodgson wouldn't be a bad shout imo)

Not that surprising, though still a bit strange as Leicester finally looked like they were playing a bit better at times against Sevilla last night, but I guess the weight of bad Premiership results was too much, some of the Thai owners looked very dissatisfied in the stands on the tv footage of Leicester's recent loss away against Swansea. Also seems from many rumours like real problems developed this season for Ranieri in the dressing room for with quite a few players, wouldn't be surprised if some of them were secretly getting negative messages communicated to the owners to try and get Ranieri sacked.

Still a bit sad as had a soft spot for Claudio from his time at Chelsea and because he seems like a good man, a real gent, was painful to see how dispirited he looked when Leicester lost to Millwall last weekend, while he may have made mistakes as manager this season, Leicester players got a lot to answer for too, so poor so often on the pitch, real lack of effort and spirit they had previously.

Oh well, at least with Ranieri gone I can go back to basically not being bothered whatever results Leicester get, hope they go down to be honest - though wish them well against Liverpool next Monday, and hope Leicester are still in a relegation battle and fighting for every point later in April and May when they face Spurs and Man City!

 

 

Who actually gives a sh*t about Leicster? Now Claudio has gone I want them to nose dive

Praying they get relegated now 

Harry Kane own goal...

If he was still a free agent Marco Silva would have been the perfect candidate.

Given how he got Hull competing against the top six and matching them in head to heads, he would have given them a fighting chance in the CL of doing something.

They should have sacked that waste of space Mahrez instead.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

 

Get Bielsa in until the end of the season!!!

At least I can rely on Tottenham bottling it to put a smile back on my face.

I darent put the spurs game back on, i had it on for 60 seconds earlier and they scored.
