Based on this season and having done what he's done it wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea try and get Claudio back as manager..

I can see why Ranieri has done well .Of all the managers I have seen interviewed he for me comes across as the most likable.

Has Ranieri done a lot? Pearson got that team off and running this time last season when they looked doomed. It was a remarkable turnaround and i don't think there has been much change in style or personnel since then.

Probably has sustained it.I know from reading Hasslebanks book that he use to love a tinker and this upset some players.Looks like may have changed his style as of the teams in the prem Leicester is one of the most settled this season

Can't believe some of the misery guts on here. Leicester gives hope to supporters of every small team, that one day they can achieve the impossible.



This must be the most sensible post on this subject! Most fans on this site bemoan how the " big clubs " monopolise the Premiersh*t and other clubs can't compete. Then along comes Leicester and punches a great hole in that argument but these same fans then begrudge them their success because 1 player plays for them - fu**ing unbelievable !!!

I don't disagree with that view but it has to be said that they were on title winning form at the end of last season, only they were starting from the bottom of the league. Pearson seems to be the forgotten man but he mostly built that side. Ranieri is doing a good job though i admit.

Pearson did a good job keeping then up last year going on that run in the latter part of the season. But there's no doubt in my mind he wouldn't have been capable of taking them on to them level that Ranieri has this season.

Exactly one year ago today, Leicester were still bottom. They remained bottom of the league for a while after that too. They were still bottom as the season entered April, after 29 matches. They won the first game in April after picking up just 2 points in 8 games previously. So their purple patch of "title-winning" form was only for their last 9 games.

This season they top the league with only 2 defeats after  25 games. A much harder proposition to maintain this form for 25 games than 9 games, especially when it's from the start of the season when everyone has something to play for (as opposed to April/May when half the league are safe but have no chance of top 4).

Mahrez and Vardy are on a different level this season to what they were under Pearson. And despite them being a counter attacking team, they are more positive than under Pearson who was always the cautious type.

Don't agree, Mahrez is playing with far more freedom under Ranieri plus Ranieri signed the two players that have allowed that to happen, namely Okazaki and the unsung hero that is Kante.

A team is made up of 11 players not 2. The point is that that team was using player power to oust Pearson.
