Will no doubt get the Blue Mongies excited but its potentially a total disaster of an appointment IMO

I think it could have been a lot worse, and there was no one else realistic whom I was more excited about.

Content with this.

Should also be a big enough name to be able to convince Cambiasso to stay, if there is any chance of that happening. That could be our best signing of the season.

Surely any appointment is a potential disaster then? Appointing Nigel Pearson looked steady, but he ended up being sacked after dragging the club through a racist sex scandal.

Massive positive that he has history with Cambiasso - I think that will have been a big factor in the owners decision. This is a short / medium term appointment and thats all

Better than Lenon or Allaradyce worse than Pearson. Meh.

The bloke has style and loves to get his teams playing football.

Chelski fans love the bloke.

No point in being negative about it really, I certainly have reservations about how this is going to work and there are a few coaches etc in Austria right now who probably haven't got a clue what this means for them.

Does he usually bring in a full back room team or is he a loner?

Could have been a lot worse. Lets just get behind the fella.

Thank the magic baby Jebus it's over.

LEICESTER CITY CONNECTIONS
Robert Huth: The Leicester City defender was signed by Ranieri for Chelsea in 2001 and given his first team debut shortly afterwards at the age of just 17.

Steve Walsh: Before his current role as Leicester City’s Assistant Manager and Head of Recruitment, Walsh spent 16 years working for Chelsea as a scout, with four of those during Ranieri’s time at the helm.

Esteban Cambiasso: The Argentine midfielder played for Ranieri in the Internazionale midfield during the Italian’s spell in charge from 2011-2012.


I'm feeling better already.

Ex Chelsea players heading our way?
Now where did that go wrong last time

A 3 year one to be precise. I wouldn't call that a short term appointment. If he lasts that long.

 

[Fox Fan]

Not my first choice, almost certainly not the clubs and a bit sad really that he had to publicly throw his hat into the ring. But now it's done there's only one way to be - we have to back him until at least 5 games in at which point it'll be perfectly acceptable to raise the 'Ranieri Out' banners.

Are you suggesting that Andy King is the fourth man?

 

[Feriol]

I think this is a step up in tactical ability and in profile. I'm excited to see what happens now.

Yep. Rightly or wrongly, we at least have a manager now. Let's see how it goes.

 

[SWFox]

A safe pair of hands I suppose but not hugely exciting. He doesn't seem to last more than a couple of years wherever he's managed but maybe that's the thinking.

Steady the ship.

This is all really quite super, puts my mind at ease a bit and actually makes this decision look more calculated than I previously thought.

It's all quite exciting if we can keep some of our back room guys.
