I think Ranieiri simply won the league as Leicester cashed in on a perfect storm of all the normal suspects all playing simultaneously poorly in the same season and finding a playing style that worked for the players he had to get the most from their abilities. I think he got found out the next season, not helped by a few of the players in the dressing room turning against him. I think this has happened here and the players don't seem to have the same stomach for the battle Jokanovic had instilled. I think the fact we have Scotty Parker in caretaker charge, Fulham favourite as he is, indicates we're resigned to our fate and plainly getting ready for next season and I hope we can find another in the Jokanovic mould that understands the championship, its unique requirements and can get us back up again asap
To me it would have made no difference who Fulham appointed.
Their problems go back to the recruitment last summer when they spent around £100m on players who would be happy playing for a team in 9th to 14th place i.e. no real pressure.
No one was signed who appears to have the stomach for a fight at the wrong end of the table.
Schurrle, for example, was quoted a few weeks ago talking about how he won't be around if/when they are relegated. Just what the fans want to hear.
