“We are players and we can only affect (things) on the pitch; what happens above our heads at boardroom level is completely out of our control,” goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel told the BBC after Ranieri’s training-ground send-off on Saturday.

Huh 'completely', really? What a naïve thing to say. Hard to tell if Ranieri had lost the dressing room or not but it's pretty clear players could/should have done more, on and off the pitch, for their coach. They didn't. And it's the same with fans, if tmrw they do not turn up to home games players will eventually get the sack.

A sad end to a real-life fairy tale, and I feel for Ranieri.

But I can't forget the Leicester online taunting when Coventry finally slipped out of the Premier League. Karma sucks, eh boys??

I can see why Ranieri got the sack. Hull and Swansea have picked up since the new bosses came in ( Swansea were unlucky last night - a stupid goalkeeping error and could have had a pen while Hull should've taken 3 points ). Leicester have been dire for months. I backed Boro to go down and at the moment, I'd say Leicester will join them.

West Brom flying the flag for the midlands? Football must be in an awful state in that region....

Seems law of averages - everything went right for them last year
