Leicester City

Life in the fast lane....

""The 19 remaining members of last year's squad now each has a new BMW i8. The £100,000 hybrid sports cars were reward for winning the title from chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabba."

- Sunday Telegraph

Hull have 13 players total for today's 11:30pm game vs Leicester. Things look good for the Foxes; combine with that the fact that Hull have barely gotten any reinforcements (if any, sorry can't be bothered looking it up right now but I can't recall any good moves from them), this looks like a very likely win for Leicester. Perhaps even a rout. 

hope they've got individualised car parks or otherwise it is going to be hell remembering where they parked

Well looks like it's confirmed they're going to really struggle without Kante. Got completely overrun in the midfield by Hull. Mahrez looked disinterested, Vardy missed a couple of sitters, their new signing Luis Hernandez (CB) is crap. They better sign a new midfielder soon or they'll be destined for mediocrity or worse.

called it

In my defense a lot of people were predicting that. Hull didn't even make a sub so they things don't exactly look great for them. Also, if I knew Andy King was starting the match no way in hell I would've made that prediction. Why buy Mendy if you're not gonna use him? 

They have just sacked their manager.

Claudio sacked. Goneski.

Wowsers

Clearly the ownership think they are bigger than they are. Hope they go down.

Fudge them. I reckon they were set to get past Sevilla with a 1-0 at home too.

Clowns. Hopefully Sevilla do them.

Claudio for the nix!

Could we tempt him? We can't pay him the big salary but in our favour we only have titles, no relegation. 

Got a mate who is a Leicester fan and he's fuming, I think a lot of their fans will feel the same way. Claudio deserves more than that

You;d think winning the Premier League in probably the biggest against the odds fashion of any major sport ever would buy you a season at least.  Crazy.

Hopefully they get relegated now.

Crazy, is the only word that can sum up that decision

For those saying he shouldn't be sacked, at what point should he have be been sacked/resigned?

if the team had gone down 

What he did last season short of being relegated should have guaranteed a job for life

If he was to perhaps lose the next 2-3 league games and slip into the bottom 3, and go out to Sevilla, then I would probably think about it. 

But even then I might not. 

The only reason I can think of for this decision, is that the powers at be honestly think him continuing will result in relegation 100%, and that this move is the only way to try and stay up.

Surely that just isn't true. 

Cant' understand all the people that want Leicester to now get regulated. 

Rightly or wrongly this was a business decision.

Should have retired on top after winning the title; it was an irrepeatable feat as we've seen played out this year.

Perhaps because Leicester was an example (rightly or wrongly) of determination & love for the game over the usual big money/business ideals that permeate current professional sport.

The crazy thing is that, that said- the owners are billionaires right? Just not as big as the top 6! The underdogs in the EPL are billionaires.

I will laugh deleriously if they appoint Pards, Warburton or Hodgson.

Tactics Tim would be a larf

He won the Premier League with Leicester FFS!  Leicester!  You've got to give him the season at least.

Redknapp

Pearson

I was sad to see him so badly treated by Chelsea in 2004 and I am saddened to see him turfed out now. He has always been a gentleman in a cut throat business. I wish him well.

Being a good guy has nothing to do with anything.

Always suspected you were not the full quid.

Well done Leicester.

I would be very disappointed if Vardy was holding back on the goals just to prove a point. Something just does not seem right about all of this. 4 players involved and named whom spoke with the board.

They'll probably now go on to win the European Cup.

Cesare Prandelli: "I said no to Leicester when they contacted me because of their treatment of Claudio Ranieri."

Seem to remember hearing on BBC World News some commentator declaring Ranieri lost the dressing room before the start of this season. Must have been one hell of a bust-up! But no reason given.
