Version 0 of 1. The mixture of despondency and surprise that greeted the sacking of Claudio Ranieri as manager of Leicester City (Ranieri reign ends in brutal fashion, 24 February) found a natural echo elsewhere in your pages that day.

Raineri too brought grace, colour and sparkle to what has become a grey old game. Mike HarleClaygate, Surrey • Last season we neutrals wanted the Foxes to win the Premier League.
