Ranieri - why his sacking is no different to life in any perform

Badge image
So Ranieri has been sacked 9 months after over-achieving with Leicester. Winning the EPL with a group of players that just escaped relegation the year before, plus Kante. Kante was so important, easily the best player in the team, just look at the difference he makes at Chelsea were he keeps out Fabregas, a player that has won everything in the game.

Ranieri has the 5th highest win rate of any EPL manager with more than 200 games. Spainish and Italian Cups and League Runner Up with Juventus, Monaco and Chelsea beforehand.

Ancelotti, Mancini, Mourinho were all sacked the season after winning the League. Pellegrini won the League, and to fight for his job for coming second and was sacked once Pep was available. It is not unusual but it is harsh.

The reality is clubs no longer want managers that really manage a club and build it, as Ranieri does. It also shows that people always want more, despite how well you do.

This sadly is the same as life in any results driven job. You can break the records for income and sales in your firet year, continue to be ahead of target in the second... and what happens..

Staff get jealous, start to question things and snipe to the bosses. The Bosses start to wonder if you are really working as hard and clever as possible, after all you seem to make it look easy. A lot of it is politics, people claim to bosses they are doing the best they can, when realy they are just lazy. So the succesful people get culled, move on and start success elsewhere.

The smart company of course does not do that, but how many smart people are running football clubs.

Chelsea. Wish I could say the same about City though.

Yeah, you'd think Ranieri would have got a statue instead of a pink slip...

I personally would rather finish bottom of the table 2 years and win the 3rd year as opposed to finish mid table all 3 years. It's frustrating for fans I'm sure to have an "underachieving" team but the highs they felt to have the ultimate cinderella story have to offset that. Leicester got a MAJOR trophy that nobody thought would ever be possible and nobody can ever take that away from them.

I guess the only question here is what have you done for me lately?

I suppose the answer to that is allowed them to play Champions League Football (and make it to the Round of 16 - with an ok chance to move through to the quarters)

Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea whilst on a helicopter from Manchester United to Arsenal after he was declined. He spotted Stamford Bridge from his helicopter window and asked who they were when his aid replied "That team? They perform well in Europe, but have got many financial difficulties." His helicopter diverted towards Fulham and he arrived at Stamford Bridge and bought the club.

He turned Chelsea into a business, buying the club a fresh new squad and pumped billions into the club. Chelsea can now they that they that they earn a profit, thanks to their use of the Loaning system and their state-of-the-art training base in Cobham. Chelsea went from almost bankrupt team, to top of the prem world superteam thanks to Abramovich and his questionably legal Russian oil money! :D

There is actually a really good video on this subject you can watch!

(I'm also a proud Chelsea supporter, being born in Kensington and living in London all my life. I try to get to the Bridge as often as I can, and I do love this club! Shame about all the plastic and false fans though, took a lot out of us...)

Great post. Kante always struck me as their most important player and the fact he's been just as good for Chelsea and France basically proves he was their best too. You can't lose arguably the best defending midfielder in the world (I'm serious) and expect to still be anywhere near as good as before. So while they're definitely not doing as well as expected this season, a potential relegation hasn't completely taken me aback.

That said the two things that stick out to me about this...one, if this really is because of a player revolt that really irks me. I understand once you lose the dressing room it's pretty well impossible to repair but surely the players need to take more of the blame and responsibility. They decide what happens in the 90 minutes after all. And second, they were bad against Sevilla but they're still somehow in the tie. They have more goals in the champions league this year than the prem. I could understand sacking CR after probable elimination but now?

Imagine reading in the papers 3 weeks from now about how Leciester beat Sevilla 1-0.

Under new manager Alan Pardew.

There was a lot to Chelsea before Abramovich, and Raneiri built the spine of the team, Lampard, Terry, and others.

I have a season ticket and Chelsea and I have been surprised at how good Kante is actually. Not just the energy and tackling but he can play a bit as well and he is tactically sound. Just the one bad game so far.

Look at Chelsea last season, Hazard, Costa and Ivanovic had the hump. Once Jose left Costa started to be more focused on goals and Hazard picked his game up. Mr Conte seems to have sorted them out for now.
