Gerard Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 Give Pearson a 2nd chance to mount another promotion challenge. But if he's sacked then I'd bring in Poyet or Lambert. FFS, may as well stick with Pearson than bring in another Premier League failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4DD0gg Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 Not Pearson, he has had his day in the sun and it has gone spectacularly wrong on every single level of football management. I genuinely think he has lost the plot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry - LCFC Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 Keeping this squad together with a manager who we know can get them performing in the Championship sounds like a good, safe way to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingray Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 the least ambitious mob of Leicester fans in the club's entire history. That's not the case with the bulk of those who back the manager, I know, but at the core there's an obsessive pro-Pearson element who were quite happy to believe he could lead us to a mid-table finish and now, proven wrong, can't bear to acknowledge it, and prefer to lash out at everyone else, accusing them of being unrealistic, ungrateful b***ards. And now we're beginning to see how far those people are willing to go in order to avoid having to hold their hands up and say - 'oh, alright, turns out he really wasn't up to the job after all'. I guess most of the Pearsonite brigade here are below 30 and the promotion was the highlight of their city fan years. I have a have a different perspective. I've supported LCFC for 40 odd years and historically we have always been a yo-yo club, top of Div 2 or near bottom of old Div 1 during that time. The last 10 years have been an aberration. He's had very generous funds, had very supportive owners, very supportive fans but at the end of the day he's failed. Just not up to the job. He's out of his depth and has anger management issues. Time to start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCtotheprem Posted 22 March 2015 Author Share Posted 22 March 2015 I'm fully behind Pearson and more importantly the team, but so many people have been complaining about Pearson I just wondered who people would replace him with , and I'm surprised so many people have said Pearson! For me I would hive Pearson the first 15 games of next season and if he is not top 8 I would sack him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bss9401 Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 I'm not sure why people are letting their hearts rule their heads so much on this one. What I want to happen is for Pearson to stay and, if he doesn't keep us up, get us promoted in one season instead of three, and in doing so form a side more capable of PL survival than he did last time, then have learnt valuable lessons from this season and make clear from the off that he is up to scratch at this level. All Leicester fans should hope, in all realism and sobriety, for us to be in the PL again as soon as possible and stay there. If the current generation of City fans has been shorn of ambition that they don't wish for this, or believe it's realistic, then the club really would be much better off without them. In my heart, I want that to be with Pearson, but if I'm rational I can see that there's very little reason to believe he can deliver it. And it's the case however you look at it. If we look at his past record in the second tier, then there's one promotion in five, all with well-funded teams, and in one case a recently relegated team. If we look at his record in the PL there's absolutely nothing to offer encouragement there because he's on track to become one of a small group of the least successful managers ever at this level. If we look at what's happened in the past to managers who have suffered relegation, or clubs who've kept their managers upon going down, then that offers little hope either. There is, for a club with our objectives, no reason to believe Pearson will be our man in the long term. Now in the short term, we can stick with him and hope that he delivers in the second tier. But it's wrong to say he'll have the same squad, he'll most probably be without any of the wingers (Dyer, Knockaert, Mahrez) from that side, one of its CBs - if he stays - will be 35 instead of 33, and a whole host of players will lack the self-belief they had before, that belief that once they make the PL they'll prove themselves, and that they'll have a manager with 'something of an aura about him' who can lead them capably at that level. Moore, Drinkwater, Schmeichel, De Laet - some of these players' confidence will be irreparably knocked, Partnerships which formed over years (Moore-Morgan, Drinkwater-James) will have become weaker. And there's the small matter of more than a dozen new faces at the club, some of which will leave, some of which will want to leave, some of which we'll need to leave for financial reasons. So there will be a good degree of restructuring, and this time we'll have to hope that the side we forge in the second tier will find the step up less bewildering than the last side we took up. It's curious to see Pearson's most determined supporters still talking about a lack of alternatives, when several of the alternatives proposed by people earlier in the season - Pulis, Sherwood for instance - appear to have improved the form of the clubs they took over. In the Championship, the past tells us that the vast majority of success is delivered by managers who have never previously delivered; that the likes of Holloway, Adkins, McDermott, Kean, Adams, Dowie rarely bounce back and get it right second time around. Clubs which go forward tend to be clubs which look not to the past, but the future. Yeah, wot he said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The God Emperor Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 Sam Allardyce, but I doubt that will happen so Nigel Pearson. Give him till Christmas and if we don't look like coming straight back up then sack him. The squad we have, even if we lose Mahrez and a couple more, is top 2 of the chamionship quality.

He's out of his depth and has anger management issues. Time to start again. I'm nearly 70, so I am obviously the exception that proves the rule. During my time as a fan, we've had a few good managers - Matt Gillies, Jimmy Bloomfield, Jock Wallace, Martin O'Neill, for example - and an awful lot of indifferent ones. I'm thinking about McLintock, Hamilton, Pleat, and every manager between after O'Neill and before Pearson. We've had a poor season in terms of results this season, but Pearson still has the best win percentage of any manager in our history, and I still think we can stay up (yeah, right). And if we don't, Pearson is easily the best bet to bring us straight back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 I am 0% backing a flop called Pearson. We need someone of the Allardyce ilk, who knows his way around the Premiership, and knows how to get the best, not the worst, out of his players. Our best players will be leaving, and my gut feeling is that we will not get promoted next season under Pearson. Even if, he managed to get us promoted, he would be a disaster in the Premiership, as we all know to our cost. Sack him at the end of the season.

gurru991 Posted 22 March 2015 Share Posted 22 March 2015 Pearson cannot manage at the PL level. That is now proven !!! What is the point of keeping him for the championship if he can't keep us up in the Premier. Don't assume that all the players will be staying either.

Let's see what my youthful, know-nothing brain can remember... The last 10 years have been an aberration. Certainly has, and I also know you have to at least be at the right end of the second tier to get back up to where we should be. And who is the sole reason we even stopped the rot that plagued us from 2004 - 2008? Ian Holloway? Paulo Sousa? Sven? Jog on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
