[Football] Claudio Ranieri SACKED

[Ernest]

It just goes to show how shite we are really, couldn't beat them from 2-0 up and could only draw 2-2 at home.

 

[Giraffe]

Ridiculous appointment in the first place, just as ridiculous to sack him having made that decision. Whoever they appointed should have been good enough to fight a relegation battle and also be their choice to bring the club back up. Ranieri was never going to be the man for either job.

 

[Hamilton]

Hilarious! When will Chairmen learn?

The exact words I opened up this thread to write.

Since the 24th November, they've only managed to win two games: Huddersfield and us, and that period includes a home Cup loss to Oldham.

Huddersfield and us. Jesus Christ.

We have only won three since 24th November.......

That's why we are where we are and still looking down the barrel of a gun, here's hoping we don't make a nice threesome come season's end

 

[Grombleton]

We've been Pardewed, two seasons running.

That's good for us, if people beat us then they might get relegated.

Best to let us win the rest of this season...y'know, to be safe.

Don’t care about Raneiri, he’ll be handsomely rewarded.

Shahid Khan seems a bit of a Tony Fernandes type wnkr, doing anything by hook or crook, to keep his paws onto PL football. Spending over £100m in fees last summer, that’s almost as much as us in 4 PL transfer windows. A FFP cheat I would hazard a guess, when their 2018/19 accounts come out.

Indeed. Haven't we got the lowest number of points of any PL team in 2019? I think it's 2, i.e. if the League had started on Jan 1st we'd be bottom. (Awaits correction).

Thankfully of course it didn't - so it remains to be seen if our current slump is just a blip or whether we over-achieved and have now been found out.

 

[Mackenzie]

I’m not surprised. They’ve been nearly as bad as us recently.

 

[whosthedaddy]

If Fulham are looking for a new manager he needs to be a well proven Championship one.

Hold on...I think I might just know one

On second thoughts, get yer hands off

“Claudio is risk-free and ready-made for the Premier League, and particularly so for what we need at this moment at Fulham. His recent body of work with Leicester City is literally legendary and then you look at Claudio’s experience with Chelsea and big clubs throughout Europe, and it’s pretty evident we are welcoming an extraordinary football man to Fulham football club.”

- Shahid Khan, November 2018

Where do they find these jokers as chairmen ?

Blip - "an unexpected, minor, and typically temporary deviation from a general trend" (OED)
It will be a blip if we somehow manage to win or draw a couple of games.

Flatline - "Fail to increase; remain static"
We are flatlining my friend.

A blow to Pards.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I have a soft spot for ranieri. I think he may not be the best manager in the world, but he always comes over as a gentleman in a sea of crass egotists.

Hope they gave him a decent payoff and he can go on a nice Caribbean cruise.

Big Sam to the rescue?

 

[doogie004]

Good for us

Let’s hope so

Why’s West Ham’s David Sullivan filming him?

 

[Stat Brother]

Hilarious! When will Chairmen learn?

Sacking him or appointing him in the first place?


Can anyone be surprised by anything in Ranieri's tenure at Fulham?

 

[crookie]

Funny if they reappointed Jokanovic, months after paying him off !!

 

[Beach Seagull]

Should've appointed Big Sam instead of CR. If they had they would almost certainly be in a much better position now and would almost certainly survive. Whilst supporters get sniffy about BS,he comes with almost a guarantee of survival (which for the majority of PL teams is the only realistic aim). In the last few seasons following his appointment once the season was underway he's kept up: Blackburn / Sunderland / Palace and Everton (I acknowledge Everton were never serious relegation candidates however). Are Everton in a better position following his dismissal? No. I agree with his 'I've I was Sam Allardici' statement. As for Marco Silva if he was 'Mark Smith' he wouldn't have got anywhere near the 3 PL jobs he has somehow landed.
