My mate is a blue scum supporter and he said that without Ranieris input, Chelsea wouldn't have been as successful as quickly. Little bits of training here and there, things they kept even now.

Had a bit of banter with Ranieri when we were at loftarse road, comes across as a decent man.

Likeable character but to have been at Juventus, Parma, Valencia, Inter, Monaco and Chelsea over the last 15 years and only have a second division title and a super cup win starts asking questions.
Whether his choice or the owners, he doesn't stay around long enough to build a team. Not sure how he Keeps getting big jobs but Leicester will be a challenge. Second season syndrome, expectations higher but hopefully they stay up again and some mainstay like villa or Sunderland will go down

Typical appointment from an overseas ownership who want a name. His record recently is pretty poor and does not warrant the job, out by Xmas.

I like Ranieri but think he will struggle at the foxes, his recent record is dire barring one season in  the french second division. His contacts cant be as good as they used too otherwise that record would have been better. Leicester wont overly spend so that will make the job even harder, I hope I am wrong but reckon like others gone by Christmas maybe Easter at best

Sure he has been around since leaving that lot down the road and on the face of it hasn't had the best of times. Sacked by Valencia, Juve, Monaco and Greece. Left Parma and Inter by mutual consent. Resigned from the Roma job.

But during these spells, he did get Monaco promoted and from there to 2nd spot in Ligue 1, with both Juve and Roma they challenged Inter for the title, and he dug Parma out of a hole. Only Inter, Valencia and Greece can really be viewed as disastrous appointments.

It will be interesting to see how he does back in the Premier League.
