That is everything wrong with football today.
He dragged a tin-pot club and squad of pub players to the Premier League title. He dragged them to the last 16 of the Champions League - and they still have every chance of going through. They should be erecting a statue of the man, not firing him.
If (and I really hope they do now) they get relegated, the players have let the club and fans down - it's almost like they've achieved more than they ever thought possible and have given up.
Agree with every word of this. He dragged a tin-pot club and squad of pub players to the Premier League title. He dragged them to the last 16 of the Champions League - and they still have every chance of going through. They should be erecting a statue of the man, not firing him.

Moi aussi. Utterly ridiculous.

Crazy decision but not really surprising when you see how deep in the s
t they are.
Exactly where you'd expect them to be, last season aside?t they are.Leicester are a yo-yo club with a team of average players who worked a miracle. If Ranieri had got them 15th last year he'd probably still be in a job now. They're a bottom half club.
Utterly shameful.

Showed how good a player Kante is. Carried that team last year, and showed unfortunately that there is a lot of average players in the team.
Vardy hasn't done enough this season. He should've chased the money and gone to Arsenal. He'll never get anywhere near a club like that now.PurpleAki said:

This season he has only five league goals, three of which came in one game against Manchester City, and has scored in only one league game since 10 September - a run of 17 matches.

Now I couldn't care less.

Why are they? Who says?Why shouldn't their owners have ambition to rise above that?
Who says? Me.
No reason not to have ambition. But ambition without substantial investment is just wishful thinking.
They're a bottom half club who got lucky. I don't think that's a controversial statement to make.

Last year you fluked the premier title ( and what a awesome ride that was for the whole club and it's fans) but it was just a fluke and wasn't going to last.
I'm absolutely gutted, but... if whoever comes in next saves us from relegation will we salute the owners for a good decision? Mind you if the reverse happens everybody will be slating Leicester (even more than now) for this decision 
I'm shocked at the timing! I thought last nights result and the fact we're still in with a chance of progressing to the next stage of CL would mean he'd at least be around until that game, and really thought he deserved at least that.
But I didn't see him being able to get us out of the mess we're in. Questionable tactics at times, a seeming inability to motivate players, and complete unwillingness (or misplaced loyalty) to drop out of form players.
My head tells me it's the right decision, but my heart tells me he gave me some of the most memorable moments of my life and I really wanted him to turn it around
