Former Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd once said that sacking Sir Bobby Robson in 2004 was like "shooting Bambi". He had it easy.
Leicester City's decision to sack Claudio Ranieri is like shooting Bambi, if Bambi had just won you the GDP of a medium-sized European nation on the lottery and had the winning ticket held gently in his mouth, a sparkle in his eye and an impish grin on his face. This is the most controversial, most cold-blooded, most ruthless decision taken by a football club in recent years.
And yet it's the right decision.
