Without meaning to undermine Ranieri's achievements...
Leicester are not where Leicester should expect to be this season, with the money they've generated, building on the squad, retainimg top talent... if this was United, Arsenal, City or Chelsea, a manager underperforming to such a scale would be sacked. Because it's little old Leicester, punching above their weight, they've had their fun with the big boys, what do they expect up there, etc etc. It's the same grief clubs like us get when we have the nerve to try to compete. Fair play to Leicester, Ranieri did an amazing job last season but a Premier League winning manager should not be given free reign to oversee relegation of the same club the following season.
