Claudio Ranieri Appointed Manager

[Profondo Rosso]

This really is depressing and proof should it be needed that our owners really are clueless. They got lucky with Pearson but this is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Gone by Christmas with £3M in his pocket and leaving us with a string of overpaid shite players on lengthy contracts. Mark my words.

I'm marking them - and I give them 1/10.

 

[Blaarev]

You're generous.

Maybe the generous 1 was for the construction of the post?

Two lovely delightful articles in the Telegraph. As so often happens Steve Walsh Sr was the brains behind buying Kante. Claudio was dubious. How lovely to have a boss with the confidence to say "Don't listen to me again. I don't know what I am talking about" - of course you have to be good at your job to get away with that.

Could still happen I suppose

 

[FryattFox]

I suppose ultimately my main aim is to see us established in the Premier League by beating relegation. He's probably good enough to do that, but can he lift us to the dizzy heights the owners are dreaming of? I don't think so..

Not sure how high TS is aiming. I presume he wants us to win the World Cup.

All these doubters are turning round now and saying he's wonderful it seems. Here's another one.

Claudio Ranieri's Leicester are proving the pre-season doubters spectacularly wrong - and it's just wonderful - Dave Kidd - Mirror Online

It was the owners who decided to fire him, and that is an actual real life fact

And it is they who have appointed a complete and utter clown in his place. That is also a fact

So yes, I can safely blame the owners for both of those events

Those Bastards

Just had a quick read back and I'm quite pleased with my tactical approach at the time.

It baffles me why people would have such strong opinions when it's obvious that none of us knows the first thing about what's going to happen. New season, new manager - it's all just guessing so why would you go for the worst case scenario?

Indeed. I was pretty neutral about the appointment. It was obvious he was the best option when Neil Lennon and Steve Cotterill were the other names mentioned but I was kinda apprehensive after Sven I must admit, but I thought Pearson was a poor appointment first time round and Holloway was a masterstroke, so I've more than learnt by now to give any manager the benefit of the doubt as you have no idea how they'll adapt to the club and the players.

 

[FryattFox]

Welcome Claudio, now get us in the champions league please!

Does Claudio just do what you say, Joe_?

 

[FryattFox]

It is doubly a shame as he atmosphere was so brilliant at the end of last season. I guarantee it won't be when we return.

Yeah, I hate going to the KP this season. Terrible atmosphere.

Same. I just pulled the old chickening-out-of-an-opinion-in-guise-of-a-Simpsons'-reference tactic.

 

[Miles Away]

Happy with it. Brings a ton of experience and will have fans, press and players eating out of his hands.

Spot on mate.

 

[pork pie fox]

Midfielders please Claudio. And Sharpish.

Trust me, you don't want to watch Hammond and Drinkwater any more than I do.

Although.......

 

[Motown Fox]

I'm happy but he was manager of Greece and they lost to the Faroe's. Hopefully that was more to do with the Greek's and their economy.
And just realised he was the bastard that sold us Denis W*se

I'm still happy- very much so

Worse than Morgan and Albrighton?

Both utterly clueless bags of shit, donkeys of the highest order

Who would have thought.

Should have broken the bank for Dyche.I like Claudio but he was good a long time ago

Well cafe we know you're a Dyche lover - must be his rasping voice.

I'm with Alex and you.
I fear I'll regret that in many ways.

Not now eh Blaarev although you surprised me with your answer to this post -

The forum won't exist. Ranieri will have destroyed the club by then and Jeff will have turned TB into a site for scat and midget porn. I called this, just remember that in the future.

 

[Miles Away]

Got to give you a whoosh on the Morgan/Albrighton comment Mo me mate.
