Shock news during the Spurs v Gent match that Leicester had sacked Claudio Ranieri!
That's the manager who led them to a fairytale, 5000-1, title sacked just 9 months later.
Granted they are in trouble but, added to the fact tht he was the man who won them the biggest thing in their entire history, they could be 90 minute away from the last 8 of the CL.
It's mde a lot of neutrals & other fans who backed the Foxes last year want them to go down and some fans threatening a boycott. Way to go owners!
Interestingly, Ranieri is the 4th title winner to be fired from their job the followingseason. Out of Mancini, Bog-face, Maureen, Pellegrini & Ranieri ony the Chilean was still at the club more than 16 months later (though, granted, Bog-face retired).
There were lots of stories that the the Tinkerman had 'lost the dressing room' & players had asked the owners to get rid of him. Stories that Vardy et al angrily disputed. In fact they were so angry the took a couple of days after he was fired to deny the claims. Currently Hiddink & Mancini are favourites to take over. I hope whoever is permanent manager & owners tell the players that they wont be getting an escape in the event of relegation and that they'll have to play in the Championship.
To add to the fun, LCFC play Liverool in the next game and they might have a new manager & get the new manger 'bounce' that generally confers. Fucking great.
