Claudio Ranieris sacking as Fulham manager is crazy, blasts Ian Holloway on talkSPORT
Fulham have been blasted for their crazy decision to sack Claudio Ranieri as manager after just 106 days in charge.Ian Holloway has told talkSPORT the Cottagers problems started long before Ranieri arrived and that the decision is harsh on the Premier League-winning coach.Ranieris Craven Cottage departure was confirmed on Thursday, following the previous days 2-0 defeat away at Southampton, with first-team coach Scott Parker taking over as caretaker.2

Claudio Ranieri was hailed as a ‘risk-free’ appointment by Fulham – but was sacked 106 days later

The Italian only took over in November after the sacking of Slavisa Jokanovic, but he has won only three of his 17 games in charge of the London side and now leaves with the club 19th in the table and a massive nine points from safety.Despite failing to mastermind a turnaround, though, Holloway insists Ranieri wasnt given enough time and that Fulhams problems stemmed from a difficult adjustment from Championship to Premier League football.Speaking on Fridays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the former QPR, and Blackpool boss said: What can you do in that time?Crazy. I think its crazy. Its a travesty that you can change managers so quickly.I think [Fulhams tough return to the top flight] has been more about their style of play.2

Fulham sealed promotion via the Championship play-offs last season

Jokanovic did a brilliant job at Fulham, they dominated the ball when they got up out of the Championship. They were so good in that period, wonderful, you couldnt get the ball off them.But you cant do that in the Premier League and that was the problem, Jokanovic still tried to do that.Theyve had all sorted of issues. When you spend that amount of money when you first go up, you can cause a problem in the dressing room. If you are the players who have got Fulham up, and you see 100million worth of other players coming in, youre bound to think how much is he on, how much is he on. You lose the balance of your squad and if they get into the team before youYou look at their midfield trio last season Kevin McDonald Stefan Johansen Tom Cairney you couldnt get the ball off them, they were absolutely fantastic.Now, are they going to be good enough to do that and dominate the ball in the Premier League? Probably not, but I would have given them a go at it.Ruben Nevez at Wolves has looked good enough, because Nuno [Espirito Santo Wolves boss] didnt change anything. Yes, he may have added one or two, but not wholesale changes like at Fulham.

"What can you do in 106 days? It's absolutely crazy.""When you spend 100m on players you can cause a problem in the dressing room."Ian Holloway says summer recruitment should be blamed for #FFC's problems, not Claudio Ranieri.Do you agree?
