Very worrying sounds coming out of the King Power stadium and an interesting insight published tonight by John Percy in the telegraph. This article alleges all sorts of bonkers behaviour from Ranieri as appears to be alienating players and backroom staff, have a read
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/02/03/claudio-ranieri-resorts-drastic-measures-battle-save-sinking/
Highlights include;
Ranieri changing tactics completely up to 2 hours before a match from what the team has trained for all week
Players completely confused over what formation they are playing and their instructions
Players unhappy with training
Discontent in the squad over certain players not being awarded new contracts
Ranieri falling out with backroom staff and Craig Shakespeare in particular.
Before people say this is just paper talk, remember that John Percy is an incredibly well respected journalist with very good connections to the club. I can't remember him being wrong on anything so to see this is very worrying indeed.
Worse still, Ranieris position seems to be safe with the club unraveling completely before everyone's eyes. It will take relegation to sort this mess out I fear.....

No my article does not suggest it's all Ranieri - but it's focussing and discussing the behaviour of Ranieri and therefore his contribution to our problem. It's not Ranieris fault the players haven't been signed - but this article isn't about that

Well lets make it 100
Blackstar, I always enjoy reading you comments.
Yes the article is about Ranieri and his contribution to the situation we find ourselves in, but we must look at the wider picture, is there one department or individual within the club that has performed with any credit whatsoever - I wont answer that one

Just because someone is slagging off CR inside the club does not mean its true.

I haven't said anything nasty...
I wasn't supportive of NP when we were bottom at all as you know, but there's no doubt you have a Sven style crush on Ranieri Nev where nothing really is his fault. It was the same with Erikssen, I remember well.
Pearson on the other hand was hated and everything wrong highlighted. You know it's true

Can you not see how you're exaggerating ranieri flaws and mistakes because that helps feed your negative beliefs about Lester and what will happen this season?

Agreeing with the Chelsea fan who has an obvious soft spot for Ranieri...
Cringeworthy CoE...
Cesc - I'm not exaggerating anything, the article is based on newspaper reports. I've said already that he's a good manager, but not right for the situation we now find ourselves in

You just don't like his point of view because what he's saying is right, you just can't see it. You are negative and you're doing everything you can to make the situation worse and convince yourself that it's all over. You just want everyone to agree with you and I'm sorry but I don't and neither does Cesc.
