I didn't want him sacked, but he made some terrible decisions. His loyalty to players clearly undermined his managerial duty, he should have used other players in the squad and the transfer window to strengthen the defence so he he could drop Morgan, Fuchs and Huth because they have been really appalling. Mahrez, Vardy have not been far behind those three, Drinkwater another lacklustre performer yet the manager did nothing just put out the same team out with a couple of tweaks week and week out. If the rumours are true and there have been bust ups behind the scenes, (excluding Ulloa, whose differences with Ranieri were very public), these bust ups reportedly included the coaching staff, so its little wonder the team have struggled. The owners have clearly looked at the situation in its entirety and decided that the Manager could not be expected to recover the trust of either the players or the coaching staff which leaves them with no alternative but to sack him. The favourite to to replace him is Nigel Pearson, I personally I would welcome Mancini back to the club.
