LEICESTER SACK RANIERI THE VIEW OF A NETURAL

So for the second consecutive season the title winning manager from the previous season has lost his job.

Last season it was Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, yes that was a surprise but because it was Chelsea no one was surprised too much. Leicester did something incredible last season to win the Premier League was an unbelievable achievement and that is why I am very sad to Ranieri to leave his job.

Niall Quinn has described the decision as Leicester losing their soul and I agree with him for them to do this shows everything that is wrong with football in the modern day.

Leicester have put to an end one of the greatest football stories in the most brutal way. Having watched their performance against Sevilla on Wednesday, yes they could have been battered but they weren't and when Jamie Vardy got the goal the scenes of togetherness were there and it could have been the start of the comeback, sadly now we will never know.

Reports today have suggested that senior players told the clubs board that they were unhappy with Ranieri, this shows that the loyalty to their manager was not there and that is not acceptable.

So who is to blame, its a bit of both, yes the players have not pulled their weight this season. They all got massive pay rises last season and that togetherness that we saw last season where they all played for each other has gone, those players have to take responsibility for their performances once you cross that white line the manager has done all he can do its up to the players to put that plan in action.

Ranieri can be blamed for continually playing the same players, you can understand why he is playing them after all they shocked the world last season unfortunately for him his loyalty to his players was his downfall and as reports show today his loyalty was not reciprocated by his players.

Jamie Carragher said in his piece on Sky Sports that neutral fans who has sympathy with Leicester's struggles this season will now disappear, as a neutral I agree with that, I watched Leicester last Saturday against my team Millwall in the FA Cup and yes it wasn't the team that play week in week out in the Premier League but they played well for an hour of that game.

For this to happen at a club like Leicester is awful, and there will now be a lot of people to will turn against Leicester and hope that they go down for doing what they have done. Ranieri is going to be a huge miss to the Premier League a hugely popular figure with the media and the fans, there are a lot of Leicester fans who are unhappy with this decision.

I believe that the man who achieved something incredible earned the right to see out the season. Leicester are a team who every year will be in a relegation battle last season was a fluke, an incredible one but a one off the club should learn that. This is one of the saddest decisions that will be made in football. Its bad for the Premier League and it's bad for managers overall.

FT REPORT: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 TOTTENHAM

MANCHESTER CITY put Wednesday's Champions League disappointment behind them after beating Spurs 1-0 to put the pressure back onto Liverpool in the title race.  (C) Manchester City  City came flying out of the blocks right away. It didn't take long to get in front. Bernando Silva's cross found Sergio Aguero, who had too much space in the box and headed across goal for Phil Foden who headed in from close range after just five minutes.  That was Foden's first Premier League goal on his second ever Premier League start. City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside.  Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
