They were on such a downward spiral it had to be done. Lost the board and players and confidence.

Stam is one of the favourites.

Leicester going down as champions would have been funny. Now it would be brilliant!

Their players are going to collapse. Liverpool will rip them apart. The whole footballing world is watching them and it's now even worse.

That dirtbag vardy will run around without achieving anything. The rest will just be so far off the pace

Liverpool to win 4-0 and Leicester to finish in 19th

It's their Brian moment isn't it. It could just about be a logical decision from a football point of view, but Leicester have lost something by doing this. They might be a better team in weeks to come, but a far worse football club.

Good post - agreed.

I've also been thinking, and sadly my thoughts below aren't realistic in the modern world of football but...

This is one of the most relevant and ideal examples of when loyalty, fairness and respect should come before things like possible relegation and poor results.

I notice none of their precious, under performing players have been sacked.

It's a disgrace that 8 months after one of the most amazing achievements ever in football, the best moment in Leicester's history, they have now sacked the man who was central to it all. Two weeks after saying they would remain united with him and support him 100%.

I read on the Leicester forum something like "well, it's official. Everyone now hates us and wants to see us relegated". Absolutely true.

Ranieri's accomplishment and reputation will remain undiminished. He will get a top flight job in short order, whether it be in the PL, Italy or wherever.

Leicester City otoh...

I agree with everyone who said they hope they go down. And for the players...I hope Mancini ends up there. He won't put up with the shit they just pulled on Ranieri. He's an old school disciplinarian. Reality check time for some prima donna players, get the rockets ready the inmates are no longer running the asylum. Many don't realize it but their days at Leicester City have deservedly just ended.

Senior #LCFC players told club's owners they were unhappy with Ranieri in meeting after defeat to Sevilla #SSNHQ

Bunch of backstabbing tossers.

If they're looking for a disciplinarian as a short term fix, Martin Allen left Eastleigh yesterday. :wink:

Wow. Genuinely hope they get relegated now - no offence to the Leicester fans (although some on their forum are saying the same thing)

Loving the outrage. Reigning champions sack the manager of the year. Yeah that's not happened since way back in, er, last season.

Do you reckon they remembered to put relegation clauses in those nice new players contracts?
