He didn't build that side, he just kept it ticking over. Look when their winning run started. It was the season before he arrived and he only got the job because Pearson was booted out for personal reasons. Of course i respect your view but his recruitment from winning the Prem last season was rubbish and he fails at most clubs.
To be fair, he did sign Kante.

Been on the cards for ages. No worse than Morhino being sacked last season. Taken as a whole the season has been very poor for Leicester considering the money them have spent. I have been backing them to go down for months.

Think he's overrated and very luckily inherited a team that Pearson had put together the previous season and had gone on a mad winning run from relegation places to mid table. Right place right time for Ranieri in my opinion. Once they lost Kante, he had no answers.
Absolutely. Ranieri is a very nice chap. He did one thing well last season, he left the side alone. He didn't build it and all he did was adjust it a bit and then they took off. They had a couple of class players, good organisation, a simple game plan, no injuries to speak of, no Europe to bother about and six or seven players who were playing out of their skins. This year they lost some class, had a few injuries, got sussed out in their game plan and players have been back at their normal form level especially in the back four. That is when you need a good manager, not when things are going well but when things need sorting out. In that respect Ranieri has failed by any measure almost all season, but especially since Christmas. I am honestly surprised he has been given this long. Nobody can afford to be this sentimental in football. Loyalty does not extend to football suicide which is what has been happening to Leicester.

I'm sure when he sees his severance cheque in the bank and some other team give him a contract, he'll get over it. Anyway, it's the Prem and i don't give a shoite to be honest.

hard to be sympathetic if you think his severance pay alone would probably pay our entire playing budget for the next 4 seasons.

Everyone mentions Kante going but nobody says about Steve Walsh going to Everton. Massive massive loss.compare and contrast their recruitment in the Pearson era to the diabolical signings made last summer

Excellent point. Kante wasn't signed by Pearson or Ranieri.

Yep and he did similar with Pearson at Hull. It was Walsh who decided to spend 1 million on Vardy and that was seen as risky and too big a jump for the player at the time. Think he also identified Mahrez as a target. He is doing a good job at Everton now. As for Ranieri, him and his backroom staff were hated by the Chelsea players and they stopped performing. Seems the same has happened at Leicester.

Does he struggle when he needs to motivate and reenergise players? It isn't difficult to motivate players when you're winning. It takes a special kind of personality to drag teams up from the depths. Allardyce and Pulis have mastered it. I still think Palace will stay up. When it goes wrong it seems he can't save anybody.
