Title: Claudio Ranieri is destroying this club and must be removed
Post by: simplyfulham on February 09, 2019, 02:10:51 PM
The 3 has players that have the ability to change our season; Mitrovoc, Cairney and Sessegnon.

He waits until 76th minute to bring on Cairney.

He waits until 80th minute to bring on Sessegnon.

I've had enough of his poor judgement.

Fulham seems to have a habit of signing injured players. Well done son of 051

Whatever anyone thinks of managers, players, owners, officials etc., no one is a "cancer". That is a silly and unnecessary word to use.

As someone that has incurable cancer I do not believe it is appropriate to use the word in a flippant manner.

No point in axing Ranieri now.  The club was holed below the waterline in the summer with a totally inept transfer strategy.  Neither Joka or Ranieri could have dug us out of a hole of the Club's making.

Yes you're right Plodder.

It was just in the moments after the final whistle.

Trouble is one has no faith that Raneiri can change in the Championship - Fulham have nothing to lose by ditching him now and bringing in Big Sam.

you are correct it is nowhere near savage enough
the man said he watched fulham often and knew how to fix it
he then does not make us anything but worse
yes you are right the post you are offended by is nowhere near cutting enough!

with no offence intended to anyone in an unfortunate position with regard to the horrible ailment.

This ridiculous big Sam nonsense is just that.  But the sooner Ranieri is gone the better.

That's a decent apology, fair play to you, and no ill will from my part. I too have posted rash words in the aftermath of a defeat, which I later regretted.

At the risk of not following my own advice (think before writing), I shall make an immediate reply. If you really think after careful consideration that using the word "cancer" in the context of the performance of a football club manager is justifiable or sensible, then you need to question whether your "support" for Fulham has become so important that it has made you lose sight of what it means to be a decent human being.

Please see reply above to nose. Take a look in the mirror and feel proud of yourself for likening someone to a cancer.

i looked at myself in the mirror
i thought about what mr ranieri is doing and the falsehoods he told to get the job
i think most people on the MB know I almost never, itf ever have used bad language or am offensive to anyone
i do not have the language to express my outrage at what is happening and actually the word is ugly and unpleasant and unfirtunately what the manage r has done and continues to do is ugley and unpleasant.

so as it upsets anyone this time i am off for good.

enjoy your PC world

Firstly, Plodder is right.

If the January transfer window taught us nothing else, it was a reminder that there are far more important things then football to worry about. Cardiff, Nantes and Emilianio Sala's family can all attest to that.

Secondly, how appropriate the language used is shouldn't detract from the genuine discussion we should be having at what short term and long term effects Ranieri is having on this team. We should be concerned about the future of players like Sessegnon but also what message that sends out to the other young talented players we have on our books and should hope to hang on to.

Rainieri is not destroying the club. The first team squad and staff are simply failing in the Premier League. It's hard work surviving the Premier League especially for a club like Fulham FC.

Calm down folks. You seem to have the same problems every week. If it isn't the owners son it is the owner. If it isn't the owner it is the coach. If it isn't the coach it is a the players. If it isn't the players it is one of us who is to blame. This overreaction every week is no good for our hearts or blood pressure.

The point is that the mistakes are there for all to see and it isn't one persons fault but all of them.

The best thing the club can do now is build for next season in the Championship. We don't want to struggle as we did last time we were relegated. So lets just keep calm and make sure that we have the manager and system to offer us all some hope. Is it time to start building now? Yes I think it is. But let's try and remember that while we are frustrated this isn't a life threatening illness that many have seen relatives and friends suffer. This isn't a good excuse to attack each other or to ridicule one another or the club. It is a time to build for next season and debate what needs to be done. We continue to support the same side.

I've had enough of his poor judgement.
If you look at the passing stats of any of our players and TC's is by far the best. He needs to start and in his favoured position, not wide right. Our passing today and in previous games was awful. Some of the best passes Man U got today was by a Fulham player.

I really thought CR was going to be our saviour. It was always going to be a big ask after Slav but he just isn't doing anything to even look like we are capable of staying up.

I can understand the starting line up today but those that started just looked like boys against men. Ream and Odoi are Championship players at best. The defenders we did bring in just haven't worked out. The signings we made did have a wow factor to most of them but unfortunately this must be the one occasion when throwing as much mud as we could and non of it sticking has resulted in an unbalanced under performing team.

In all my years I don't think I have ever felt such apathy towards Fulham and really can't be bothered to get as vexed as some of your guys and gals do.

I have no idea as to which manager who will come in and start to build us as a team. I am hating this season and can't wait for it to finish so we can move on.

You may want to think again when the transfer requests come in from our better players like TC, both Sessegnon twins, Mitro etc.

That sums up Lew in my book..Fulham through and through.

Tom cairney has to start every match, he and Mitrovich should be the first two names on the team sheet, the reason I'm getting pissed off with Ranieri is because of his failure to start Cairney, who looks to be our only player who wants to create something. I also want Sessegnon to play a far bigger role.

100-flipping-percent.

At this point, he's just being stubborn to try and prove some sort of point.

I don't want to sound like some sort of ITK, because I very much am not. But some friends and family do mix in circles with people or work for and play for the club. Ranieri does not sound like he is overly encouraging on a day to day basis and that's what's worrying.

If you are Tom Cairney, Kevin McDonald or even Stefan Johansen and you're sitting there watching Ranieri play 6 defenders and watching Calum Chambers play a pass out of touch for be 7th time in the game, you must be wondering what the hell is going on.

I think his first choice position is midfield but he can play in the back four, not that it matters a lot as he is injured.
