I'd be a little wary of reading too much into national team management, especially of a team that is always short on talent and made their name off the back of a fluky and ugly tournament win.
I agree, but they had some truly awful results and performances. Fulham showed zero improvement under him, he constantly looked defeated on the touch line. Time to call it a day I think.
Oh for sure, I don't disagree with your overall point, it really hasn't worked at Fulham - was just less beholden the Greek example proving it. I think he deserves more credit for the league win though, sure it took a lot of things breaking right, but the fact is, they did it over a full season, accomplishing something no other similar club has managed since the 90s.

Ranieri really isn’t a good manager now, the Leicester thing was very much a freak (amazing) occurrence. I’ve no idea why Fulham ever appointed him, other than desperation. He was awful as Greece manager.

Rainieri's been sacked. Scott Parker in caretaker charge. Early betting has him as a likely option to remain in charge for the rest of the season. Seeing 7/2 for Moyes and 8/1 for Big Sam. Don't expect he will take the risk.
Two managers who've managed to get bugger all out of £100 million quids worth of 'talent' .. think it's too late for them.
If they have any sense they'll give it to Parker or another young manager and go for promotion next year as a project, throwing money at the British Managers Lunch Club in faint hope of survival is just costly and stupid. Certainly worked for them when they did it with Chris Coleman.

Realistically 2 more wins and we'll be safe. Cardiff aren't getting to 40 points.
Can't see them getting to 34 so yeah two wins would be enough imo

Good results all round for us!
Yes, started the weekend a single point above the drop zone and after the midweek games ate now 6 points clear. Happy days!

Fulham f***ed up their recruitment badly, their defence is awful.

Bournemouth losing, they can definitely be caught!

Blimey, never ever thought it would be deemed a success to finish above Bournemouth!

Has it come out whether it was always the plan for Caballero to come in for penalties? Obviously it worked for Netherlands a few years ago, but I feel like if you're going to use the controversial approach of yanking your outrageously expensive keeper after keeping a clean sheet for 120 minutes, you'd better know how to communicate that strategy to your players (and maybe he did - in which case I have no remaining empathy for Kepa).
