"The owner of 'Leicester City' team, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, defends his decision to fire the club's coach Claudio Ranieri.
The 59-year-old Thai urges fans to calm down and explains that there could not have been any other decision.
"I wanted to thank the fans who support me in all life situations.
In the management field, we work at the highest level and we need to solve many problems to keep the team afloat.
As fans, you have done everything. I wanted to thank you and say: I understand you.
I also wanted to say "thank you" to the fans who criticize both me and the entire management. I also understand you. Please respect my decision, because I will never let the team disappoint you.
For seven years I have been working hard here to make the team better in every area," Srivaddhanaprabha said.
"There is no need to talk only about money. As you can see, profits are coming back and are being invested in the team."
