Sarri remembers how the two have met in the '90s, although Blues boss believes Ranieri has little to no recollection of that happening:
Maurizio Sarri also paints a tactical profile of Ranieri's teamsĬhelsea are about to face Fulham on Sunday and Maurizio Sarri shed some more light on his past relationship with fellow Italian coach Claudio Ranieri, who was at the helm at Chelsea and Leicester previous to his current spell with the Cottagers. Chelsea coach explains how tough it is for a coach to be out of the job. Sarri used to study his Italian colleague. The two met during Ranieri's stint with Fiorentina in the '90s. With talk of a return of such co-operation, perhaps the cold snap wasn’t all bad news. Songs were sung, stories spun and words of wisdom and advice exchanged, all encouraged with porter of course. “With the work complete, everybody settled down in the farmer’s kitchen. “Mechanisation, prosperity and consequent independence, had caused the function of and indeed the need for the meitheal to fade away The threshing in olden times would have been a prime example of the meitheal in action. “The Irish word ‘meitheal’ denotes the rural Irish co-operative labour system whereby neighbours in times past helped one another with labour-intensive farm work. I asked historian and farmer Colum Cronin to define this for us youngsters. * Around here, with stories abounding of co-operation and help given by farmers, the older generation have been talking about how the cold snap bought back a feeling of the ‘meitheal’. In the end it took persuasion from organisations like the IFA and ICMSA to finally get them to change their tune. Cork County Council were slow off the mark, citing health and safety reasons for their refusal. With many rural roads in a perilous state, appeals were made to county councils to allow farmers collect and spread grit. With farmers taking their own milk to a centralised location, in a way I suppose it was like a return to the creamery.” “In many areas of the county, such as Murragh, which isn’t too far from us here, dairy farmers along more inaccessible routes had to take the milk to a location where the lorry was parked. Milk collections, to give credit to Bandon Co-Op, ran pretty much as normal. “I was lucky too,” Tom continues, “in that this farm is fairly accessible, and the milk lorry, with the assistance of snow chains on the wheels, was able to make the collection. He was just relieved to be able to keep the milk flowing and the cows content. The extra hours spent working in freezing conditions trying to keep the business up and running didn’t seem to bother the Enniskeane man. 
After milking was complete, he would drain the new water line. Rolling out a new line from the pump, Tom managed to restore water to the parlour. “A few days into the freeze, with conditions deteriorating further, our water supply to the milking parlour stopped.” Also, I had a heater in the pit and thankfully, from then on, I managed to prevent the parlour from freezing. “To prevent the parlour from freezing overnight, I closed every door and sealed it up as much as possible. “From then on, after every milking, I finished the washing with a salt mix, and I would drain all the water I could out of the system. And with the cows lined up in the parlour providing an extra bit of warmth, eventually it thawed enough for milking.

It was with kettles of hot water that I tried to free the lines. The vacuum pump and milk lines were all clogged up. “On Tuesday morning, the parlour was frozen. While the snow caught us all off guard, it was on the next day that difficulties arose. “We woke up on a Monday to find our farms under a complete blanket of snow.” This winter, it arrived a month earlier, and for many, drying off was not an option, we simply had to carry on. “Last winter’s freezing conditions, while they were severe, were easier to deal with, because it occurred after Christmas, and many dairy farmers had the choice of drying off their cows. Recently appointed chairman of ICMSA in west Cork, he has been milking cows more than 30 years. He is a dairy and beef farmer at Belrose, Enniskeane, Co Cork. It was the worst Tom Wilson has witnessed in his time as a dairy farmer. The cold snap which gripped Ireland this month brought trouble to all, causing many problems on farms, particularly on dairy farms.
