I can see Leicester scrapping a 1-0 win, but they need to defend like they've never done it before.

Or like last season when they defended and beat teams on the counter? It's just not working this year.



Hmm, pie.

What the actual fck? Why? How? If this is true what a disgusting thing the board could do

Not sure why everyone is so pissed about Ranieri being sacked. Last season's amazing result is completely irrelevant at this point and Leicester is just 1 point above the #18 spot. Sacking Ranieri is the right move IMO.

It's not just amazing, he made a football fairy tale last season. What do people expect from leicester city tbf? back to back titles? The season is far from over, and he even managed to bring leicester to last16 CL.

Deli Alli is about to get one hell of a suspension.

Oh wow, Ranieri really has been sacked. Unbelievable! :O

He easily earned the right to finish the season with the club and even have a shot at bringing them back up if they did get relegated. Gotta say I kinda hope they do get relegated now just to spite the board for sacking what is probably the most succesful manager they've ever had.

I completely agree with you. But apparently they're just showing their ambition.

Before he took over Leicester were on a great run in the league, they were about to be relegated the season before and came back as a team to stay up against the odds, against the odds the won the prem the next season neither are Ranieri's doing in reality though, sure he's good but I think team spirit helped them... plus Kante. However the board need to get real, they won on a fluke, we and everyone knows it. If they expect repetition of a title challenge with nearly the same team (minus Kante) that's just stupid.



Hmm, pie.
