Well, for all his talents and squad, Pep couldn't get City beyond the last 16. As for the other City representatives, well done for getting to the quarters, but not content with seeing off one of the best managers in their history, now imo they are cheating their fans in the process. They have gone down in estimations from a team that many a fan of many club said fair play to em, to a team that it seems a widely held opinion ceased trying to perform. Before they got Ranieri sacked, there would have been praise after praise on here after last night, yet nothing.....
In another thread 160642fishing suggested rightly imo, that clubs aren't actually that reliant on their fans for income, hence they can get treated badly. Leicester are trying to fight off relegation, but are now in the last 8 of the champions league? Many of us wondered at the start of the season that how would they compete on a number of fronts, personally I could never see the sense in putting a massive commitment into the champions league, better to try and maintain a European spot for next year in the league.
Yes, there will be a small number of fans who have had a great experience travelling around Europe and experiencing memories they will never forget and the full house at home last night seemed to be enjoying the moment, but come the end of the season, what will Leicester be remembered for and have to show for their 'efforts'? Winning the champions league-No, getting another season in Europe-No, relegation- may be, another tough premier league season-may be. All, for the sake of making a statement, when they were capable of much more and building on last year.
