I know. Hell, we all know the real reason Ranieri was sacked was so they could hire Mourinho. But I still don't think you can say what Ranieri did in Monaco was "less" than what Mourinho did today. Today was a one-off cup tie (not counting a replay) which is at best 3rd in Chelsea's list of priorities. Last year was Chelsea's best chance of winning something, not just the fact it was the Champions League, and the 1st of a 2-legged tie. However reckless Mourinho was today Ranieri was moreso by throwing away Chelsea's best chance of a trophy.
