Fulham sack manager and appoint Ranieri

[Thaksinssoldier]

You seriously think they win at Anfield just because they go 1-0 up?

You think a Fulham side that have conceded 31 goals in 12 games keeps their first clean sheet of the season at Anfield?

I watched the game live. Just before the goal Liverpool were a mess and allowed Fulham through twice. It was a killer blow at the worst possible time. Fulham in reality should have gone in a goal up at the half and full of momentum. Who knows?

Who knows?

Anyone that's watched Fulham in the last 3 months.

Slaviša Jokanović was Claudio Ranieri's first signing as Chelsea manager. Small world ey.

So if I recall, City got a LOT of stick for sacking Hughes and having Mancini lined up behind his back to replace him immediately.

I assume Fulham will be receiving the same treatment?

Nah. Fulham aren't a threat to the cartel.

Football management is a merry go round it's a weird industry standard when so many managers fail at their jobs they get another one not soon after. Fat Sam being a prime example.

So I stand by it, the refs and linesmen cost him his job this week.

They've taken 5 points all season from a possible 36.

Or were all those dropped points down to the match officials?

Clearly not. But I stand by it, had Fulham beat the unbeaten and much hyped Liverpool, there's no way they sack him this week.

Always on the cards when you are backed by the board the week before..

Just coming on to say this — I am going to integrate “being backed by the board” in to my “will he be sacked soon” betting indicators model. ;-)

You're clutching at straws.

They've sacked him now because there's an international break.

They obviously lined Ranieri up in advance, regardless of the last result.
