Not surprising. In fact the most shocking news of last night came in Cyprus when 10 men Apoel defeated Athletico Bilbao 2-0! 3 weeks ago I spoke to someone who knows one of the players well. He was not at all complimentary to Ranieri, far from it in fact. Tactically inept, no plan B, disliked by players, and he's not apparently quite the charming man we are lead to believe. Take from that what you will. On the flip side the players surely should get over any issues they have with him and pull together after all he won them the title (even if you could argue that the lack of injuries and tinkering helped matters.). Ultimately leicester are the only side in the professional leagues not to have scored this year. They've been absolutely dire all season maybe bar the game against man city and 1 other. Sentiment In football? I don't think there's been much of that for years!!! The outrage in the media of course is OTT. Yes it's sad, yes maybe he should have been given another month especially after last years sensational achievements but does that then buy him a job for life? What's the point of him even turning up to a game? They may as well just lose every game, get relegated and the public can just say "oh well they won the league title doesn't matter." Strange thinking after all mourinho was sacked last year and he's a better manager than ranieri.
Ultimately either the squad should been sacked or ranieri. I think the latter is the easier option unfortunately and I wouldn't be surprised If there was a major bust up in the dressing room on the way. If the owners hadn't acted they'd be blamed for being incompetent.
