Leicester City Sack Ranieri

What does the sacking of a title-winning manager say about the state of modern football?

When unfancied Leicester won the Premier League last season, it was called one of the greatest achievements in team sport. Now manager Claudio Ranieri has been sacked as the team languish in the relegation zone. Unforgivable and inexplicable? Or a tough but necessary business decision? We'll ask what it tells us about the modern game. Also - reaction from South Africa as protests by locals and foreigners turn violent. And the Swedish town that's offering to pay council staff to have sex.
