LMAO. It's like the statement was deliberately crafted to look as ridiculous as possible when he inevitably got sacked.
I think the old vote of confidence from the board is a hint to look for another job
The only odd thing about this is that it's in the middle of the CL tie. I thought they'd wait until they crashed out.

The next match in CL is in 3 weeks. 3 weeks of continued shit performance in the PL could seal them to the drop. They are obviously hoping that a new manager will give them a jump and allow them to survive.
Not sure it will work since i don't think a new manager will suddenly improve Morgan and Huth's defending.
Oh that's right, I forgot how long it is between legs in the round of 16. Alright, more understandable then.The next match in CL is in 3 weeks. 3 weeks of continued shit performance in the PL could seal them to the drop.

If anyone could have turned it around, it would be the man who performed the biggest miracle IMO in team sports.I am not surprised they sacked him. They are going down. In any other situation he would have been gone weeks ago, when Hull/Palace/Swansea changed managers. Hull and Swansea have both shown signs of life since, Palace less so.
Taking sentiment out of it.. the timing is the oddest thing. Midway through a CL tie with every chance of going through, outside of a transfer window so no more options for anyone new, and so soon after their statement of support.
Liverpool on Monday night! another defeat, probably.
The league win was remarkable but it shows football is a business. A cold-hearted ruthless business.
I don't agree. This season he and the players look totally lost.If anyone could have turned it around, it would be the man who performed the biggest miracle IMO in team sports.
There is still a long way to go though but even if he did take them down, he's earned the right to try and get them promoted next season. Keith Burkinshaw took us down in his first year, he ended up being our second greatest manager. Ranieri is already their greatest manager, no one would do a better job than him.I don't agree. This season he and the players look totally lost.
5 straight league defeats recently doesn't show they can turn anything around. 10 out of the last 15 league games have been defeats. Defending badly, not scoring very many. Everything that went right last season has gone wrong this, and it started on the opening day.
