    'Sense of grief'published at 11:06 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2017

    Jason Bourne
    BBC Radio Leicester Sport

    There’s almost a sense of grief in the city today, with many having lost their ‘favourite uncle’. 

    Claudio Ranieri was the man that brought the dream to life by winning the Premier League title.

    It has gone sour this term with players underperforming, new signings not working out and baffling tactics at time from the Tinkerman.

    I thought they would get relegated with Ranieri in charge. I hated to say it. I hoped it wouldn’t come true and I’d be proved wrong.

    This gives them a chance. A different kind of chance to stay up.

    Wow - people are really cut up about Ranieri losing his job... 

    We asked BBC Radio Leicester’s Jason Bourne what the mood is like in the city...

    Anyway, this much is true, Claudio Ranieri's smiles shows the lines of sacrifice and to cut a long story short,  Leicester fans are proud of you, they are proud of you...

    There was a great man called Ranieri,

    Who was sacked from his job, quite unfairly,

    The next manager you see,

    Well he won't win the league,

    He might keep them up, but just barely!
