And, we're off.....2016/17

Could be a precious away goal, Schmeichel the MotM.

Agreed. Wasn't looking forward to going to the home leg three down and would have taken 2-1 before kick off.

 

[Fish]

Massive away goal, just 1-nil at home would be enough, certainly well within Leicesters grasp to go forward.

That's not early for me & Smiffy, were both up and posting from 3am at times 😳

mailonline claiming Leicester have sacked Ranieri, not sure I believe them but if its true its utterly ridiculous and sums up everything wrong with modern football!

Just seen that Rodney Marsh has asked the same thing on Twitter. Shocking way to treat their most successful ever manager if it is true.

Ranieri is deffo history 😟

Its business though.

If they genuienly feel he's lost the dressing room then they have to change. What he did will never be forgotten. But as a club, the money in the prem far outweighs sentiment.

Puel has us (saints) in a final this weekend but many still aren't sure about him.

Mourinho sacked the year after winning it, Ranieri now gone the year after winning it, maybe Wenger has it right after all lol

LCFC youre an embarrassment, hope you go down and stay down

comparing apples with rolex watches Papas, winning the prem as 5000/1 shots against reaching the mickey mouse cup final?

Lost the dressing room? A bunch of overpaid journeymen who have done very little previously in their careers but have now been set up for life thanks in a large part to what Ranieri did for them last season.

I agree with Fundy. I hope they go down and then freefall through the divisions.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

The players that were firing in goals at a whim last year, simply havnt performed, vardy in particular, ok he has been injured, but

They have always been a bit leaky at the back, but last season always managed to score more, noticeable absence of goals this year, dont feel its the ex managers fault, but possible semtiments meant that they held onto some players last season, who should really have moved on.

If Vardy is still in the England squad, its laughable

 

[Fish]

The man is still a legend at the Bridge, Well for me anyway as he was unfairly treated there also. He should turn his back on English football, he's too nice a person to be treated like this.

Shame on LCFC, I hope they go down now 😡

 

[Junior]

Feel for the guy...... What makes me laugh is where the heck do they think they will get a better manager ???? There is not a massive line of managers waiting to jump at the chance to go to Leicester.

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Feel for Ranieri, what a disgraceful way to treat him.

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Awful tackle and correct decision, Alli you silly man!

 

[fundy]

Awful tackle and correct decision, Alli you silly man!

hideous tackle, deserves a long ban for that, ld prove costly too when he big sides are looking in summer

 

[Tiger man]

Bye Leicester, can't believe I did not put money on them going down as I called it before the season started with my brother and he laughed, been reminding him all season and it looks more likely than ever now.

Im not comparing the achievements at all!

simply using it as an example that we have fans who want him out whilst we are sitting pretty and in a final. Btw, it's only Mickey Mouse for big clubs. Most other fans would happily win any cup on offer each season.

His achievements last year is historic, but this season he appears to have lost the dressing room. Only ever one outcome in that scenario.

Ask s the Leeds fans if they'd rather be mid table in the prem instead of the good nights they had in CL all those years ago. Premier league football is key for fans, and pr I ers hip money is key for the board.

It's a simple case of the board doing what they feel is best for business.

Ranieri - 296 days after winning the Premier League - SACKED

Wenger - 4688 days since he last won a Premier League - NEW CONTRACT

Thoughts? 🤔😂
