I find it very strange that a number of top Leicester City players have today written tributes to their now former manager Claudio Ranieri. The same day that almost every sports media outlet in the country reported on the several meetings held between the Leicester board and players, one of which taking place hours apart from their 2-1 defeat and commendable performance against Sevilla. The few players who have the power within the club to force the hand of the board to make this announcement are the ones who today, two days after the decision was made, have finally shown respect to the man who showed nothing but passion and gave his all to the cause, a man whos image is plastered across the city of Leicester, a man who has been shown zero respect after having his future promised to him by the club only a fortnight ago. These tribute are an insult in my opinion when it is blatantly obvious was really has gone on.I'm sure these few individuals were perfectly happy to sign their new bumper contracts and take the free sports cars that came with the success of last season, the same success masterminded by the same man who has been so unceremoniously forced out of a club he clearly loves. Embarrassing. I really hope I'm wrong, because if not I weep for modern football. The beautiful game is becoming more and more corporate and their is seemingly no place for passion, for loyalty, for the love of the game. Nothing else matters in the eyes of the men who have the power.
