Leicester City Have Made A Huge Mistake

The sacking of Claudio Ranieri.

Leicester City Have Made A Huge Mistake
www.ibtimes.co.uk

On February 23, Leicester City parted ways with their then-manager Claudio Ranieri.

My word, when I saw this, I couldn't quite believe it. Has the club not known what this manager has done for them?

Taking over a club that finished 14th place, a struggling side, to win the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season. A manager that made them believe, made everyone aware of their journey, turned naysayers into believers. It was indeed on the list of the most unbelievable stories in sports history.

I see it and I don't believe it. In hindsight, it says a lot, a lot about "Modern Football."

Everything is wrong; short term memory loss, money obsessed, losing touch with reality, all factors of what's wrong with "Modern Football". One day, you're the biggest of the lot, praised by everyone. The next day, you're the garbage in the trash can.

Sports have always been about business, but this new era is more, it's bred a culture of fear and impatience. Claudio Ranieri could've gotten sacked earlier this season, but was only left on due to winning the league the year before. It also says a lot about loyalty, there seems to be none and that's worrying.

Sadly, in football, neither in life; there's no room for sentiment, but what there is room for is having respect. To respect the coach, respect the process, Ranieri was struggling, but I'm sure that with his tactics, they would've pulled through.

Now I'm not so sure, with 12 games remaining, currently sitting in 18th place. Ranieri was the engine, the spirit of the team, gave players like Jamie Vardy & Riyad Mahrez the push they need to excel as professionals.

This is a lesson, winning doesn't secure you anything anymore, the time flew by and hit him right in the face.

It's a sad moment in football, especially for Ranieri, he had plans for this team, to keep the faith alive, but that couldn't be.

From Heroes to Zeroes. A shame really, the dream has died.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
