I never said it was wrong, just that they could have tried to do it in a way that gave the guy some dignity.
They did it, so it appears, no differently than if they were getting rid of Martin Allen, Megson or Holloway.
Ranieri masterminded an achievement unparalleled in world sport. He may have had to go, but he deserved better.

It was the way it was done that many people didn't like but you're talking in hindsight anyway.
Maybe they should have sacked him at the end of last season and then we'd be champions again.

There were a number of people that said it was the wrong decision and we should have stuck with him even if it meant getting relegated.
In that scenario, we wouldn't have had last night.

Why are you biased? What did J-Rud do to you?

Just what I was thinking. I have no idea whether Jon Rudkin is good at the job or not. Presumably the people we bought in during the summer transfer window were Walsh's targets.

The bias was more to do with Shakey staying in because we were at that point 1-0 up against Sevilla.
Rudkin doesn't seem to be able to get transfers over the line but not a personal bias!

Same here. Plus I don't like his face.

Hiddink reveals he turned us down - despite not being directly asked - and suggested the club promote Shakey instead

I think right now it would be difficult to not offer it to Shakey?

If the owners want a manager who wins games, with the total respect of the players, rather than a media friendly poster boy, then Shakespeare would appear to have the job, if he wants it.

Way to early to decide that. I think he's managed 1 away game so far. At least wait until the end of the season.

I think he turned the job down.

If we're able to continue with these kind of performances against the likes of Arsenal and Man City again I will be feckin pissed at Ranieri for the absolute wasted potential of this season...

CR was fine reacting to losses last season.

Wasted potential this season? ****ing hell. We won the league last year. The players then pretended to be shit until they got their own way, aye what a useless **** Claudio is eh?
But not losing streaks, because we didn't have one.
