Leicester City sack Ranieri.

I've just heard the news that Claudio has been sacked as the club teeter on the brink of relegation after their recent bad run of results. The idea that they could find another manager who would better motivate the team to string enough wins together than their hero who guided them to stardom last season, is sheer lunacy.
There is no big named manager waiting in the wings for a new job at the moment, and to be honest, only a fool would take it on in view of what Ranieri achieved last season. I've not read of any dressing room revolt by the players against Ranieri and if they can't do it for him or for the sake of their own pride, how on earth can they be better motivated by a new boss.
It's a sad day for the club and while i hope that they can pull it off, i'm not so sure they deserve to escape after making such a crass, short-sighted decision.
