This is an example of everything wrong with English football. Shameful. |

My gut reaction is that it's a shampooty thing to do. Do see the sense in it - happened to plenty others before him and will keep happening when it all goes bad for managers. Just that Ranieri led them to something above and beyond Leicester would ever have dreamed of. Should be treating him with some kind of reverence - or moved him "upstairs", or something. Let him leave with a bit of dignity when the time is right. Wouldn't have won the league without him and probably never will win it again. He's their Clough/Stein/Fergie for last season. |

Lennon was treated better by the support when manager than Strachan was despite achieving less. Not want to get in to a WGS defence thread, but the narrative we couldn't stand Lennon is complete pish, he got treated better than 1 of his predecessors did. |

I can't remember but my dad told me Jock was discarded for Big Billy and it wasn't a nice scenario. I can't mind as I was only young. |

I didn't say everyone wanted Lennon out. Many did though. This despite him winning the league and putting his life LITERALLY on the line for the club. Leicester sack Ranieri and some of the Celtic support are up in arms.

There's a degree of ambiguity about it. I think Archie McPherson's biography of Jock Stein said that Jock was involved in recruiting Billy so it may have been a bit more complex than Jock being pushed out of the door |

Lennon left out of choice. How did the club mistreat him and how does it compare to Leicester? |

I know. Many of the support wanted him gone. I thought his time was up myself and was glad he quit first. That's football. |

The club didn't mistreat him but a large proportion of the support wanted him gone. He'd just won the league. His Celtic credentials were as good as it gets. Why the outrage on here for Ranieri? |

The picture of him at the press conference to unveil Billy as the new manager speaks a million sad words never mind a thousand. |

What a bunch of ungrateful, back stabbing bastards the Leicester players are. Instead of showing some gratitude towards the manager who helped them win the league and bump up their pay packets they bitch, whine and moan when they don't get their own way. Their stinking attitude sums up all that is wrong with modern football.

The swagger of players drowning in their own egos. Why English football is the devil and epitome of greed. l |

It's dislike of Leicester masquerading as sympathy for Ranieri. |

Many Celtic players didn't play for Ronny Deila* and, you know what, they were right. It's easier to get rid of one manager than 10 players. * you can add Barnes and Mowbray to this. |

It's different though - there was no way on God's earth that Leicester should have won the league last year, It was an astonishing achievement. Lennon left a league winner but it was hardly a huge surprise winning that trophy. |
