Check out the interview from Kasper. He's quite stern in denying the reports about a special meeting being held and the players getting the manager sacked which he says is rubbish
The owners had regular interaction with players and I do believe not all were happy with Ranieri, but I'm not buying this whole backstabbing, going to the owners 4 times thing that media are putting out
For such a great man manager its amazing how many times Claudio has been sacked.

This. I have Greek friends who downright hate him for what he did to their national side.
Eh? He's just won the PL with cannon fodder, has everyone forgot this?

I wouldn't say kante and Mahrez were cannon fodder. Some good players in that side and it was a side built by Steve Walsh, not Ranieri
That said, he guided them very well last season. I would say he's an excellent coach, not an excellent man manager.
He didn't do anything with the Greek team, except manage them for, what 16 weeks, and I think 4 games, but am open to correction on the stats. If your friends hate him for that, even if he lost every game, it says something about them, though not sure what.
I would have thought he was a hard man to hate.
Kante was a Ranieri signing, and I think the difference between last season and this.
I think Jose has been sacked more than once, and he's a great manager.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
No he wasn't. He was a Steve Walsh signing Ranieri didn't want him. Ranieri didn't make signings at Leicester, we had a head of recruitment who did that. Kante was close to being finalised before Ranieri had walked through the door and he took walshs advice on him
Walsh also spotted and brought in Mahrez and Vardy
Yeah I'd be shocked if any Greece fans hated him as robb said, he was in charge for way too short a time to be hated.
I think Leicesters players got over rated after last season tbh, vardy is a good pl striker but nothing more, even when mahrez was scoring goals and being praised to the hills I didn't really see anything special there. Drinkwater was the same.
I'm not saying ranieiri should not have been sacked, any manager on the kind of run Leicester are on lying where they are in the table would go. However, I do think that some Leicester fans are not necessarily able to objectively look at the quality of their squad, or lack of.
Watch Leicester beat us now I've said that.
I seem to remember that although Kante was eventually a CR signing, it took a lot of persuasion by Steve Walsh to take him.

They lost at home to the Faroe Islands
He made them a laughing stock
He did an unbelievably good thing with Leicester, but let's be honest. His career had way more failures than successes and there was no sign that he could slow the rot at the club and thus had to go.
Not all his fault of course. The players need to be blamed just as much. But you can't just bin a load of players. You can bin a manager.
oooops, sorry BS, you beat me to the reply. Re; the signing of Kante.

Cannon Fodder with real fans not plastic ones.
Correct Blackstone, but he was still a Ranieri signing. I read the interview too, and Walsh
really wanted him Claudio was not sure, had a look and still wasn't sure. Walsh persuaded him, so he signed him and gave full credit to Walsh like the gent he is.
But he was also clear he didn't have to take him, so in that respect he was a Claudio signing. He rightly trusted his staff.

We lost Steve Walsh to Everton and unsurprisingly the signings started getting a little patchy.....
N'didi is very good though
Personally I believe the papers may be just trying to sell a story saying that their was a meeting and that senior players went to the chairman etc.
The way I see it Leicester are an average team who for some reason performed way above the norm and have since returned to the norm. Vardy, Simpson, Morgan, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Schmeichel. All players that up until last season it was arguable if they were even PL class let alone PL winners.
Ranieri. A decent coach not a great one. He's had a lot failures in his career and the fact he was favourite to be first coach sacked last year spoke volumes.
This season both Leicester and Ranieri are victims of their own success and that's why he has been sacked imo.

ah yeah now i remember that, prob your 2nd biggest loss after Kante that

This is all this really is.
The club can never repay his services to win the title, but at the end of the day, the club wants to ensure they are a regular Premier League club. That's what's at stake here.
I'm of the opinion that should Leicester go down this season if hypothetically Claudio was still in charge, it would still be worth keeping him on, even if Leicester stay up with a new boss this season now.
It really is one of the greatest stories in Sport as a whole, and with that the guy who orchestrated that should be given at least a full season after that regardless of what happens. It deserves respect is what my opinion is, rather than the money figures
But Ranieri will always have the respect of history. He'll always be loved here. That doesn't change, regardless of what's happened.
TBH, he'll be better remembered now he's been sacked than had he relegated them IMO
Leicester had the lowest expectations of any reigning champions I can remember, "don't get sucked into a relegation battle" was pretty much their remit for the PL this season.
Even they could get out of their CL group then hey, another good season for Leicester but neither the manager or the players could rise to that incredibly low bar.
Ranieri's a legend at the club, and judging from some of the callers on Talksport it's the players could be getting it on Monday night against Liverpool, and rightly so.
That said, I do think he needed to go, not a single point in 2017 and out of the FA Cup to a League 1 team, I don't get the outpouring of anger and bemusement from fans and the media.
Leicester were going down with him in charge, it's not surprising he was sacked, what are the owners supposed to do? Sit back and watch the club drop into the Championship?
