Hey now, Ranieri wasn't "bullshit" personnel. Bates barely gave him any money to spend, and when he did, he brought it Frank Lampard and William Gallas, who everyone thought were shit. How do I know this? Because the only team I support in England is West Ham. Ranieri was set up for failure, he didn't want to bring in half of the players that were brought in last year, as Sven Erikkson told Abramo-bitch to buy them, as Sven was supposed to take over Ranieri, except reneged on his word, after the scandal broke out.
