Well... I have to say, of all the times to sack him, after the postitive result against Sevilla seemed to be the worst time to do so, especially considering we're actually in with a good chance to go further.
But alas, he's lost the players, he's got little clue on what to do, our record is the worst in the top 4 leagues, and this is all considering where the heck we were before.
I guess it is a Ranieri trait, the highest highs, the lowest lows, and well, this ends the tale tragically.
The sentiment alone should've kept him, but at the same time, how long could you run on sentiminet, especially if that got s relegated (it was OK last season, but certainly not this season.)
Guess who the current favourite for the spot is again? A classic footy-man English manager, who is said to be credited for truly setting us up for the title.
I have to say one thing: There is a clear split in the fanbase for those that want Pearson to rebuild the club and save us from relegation, and those that think it's time to move on.
It just seems that no matter who the heck comes in, there's going to be controversy.
That said, if we want to establish our presence, we need a big name manager. Ranieri was one of those, and we need a big name like Rafa (not Rafa himself though!) to come in and see if he can get the job done.
