Pearson

People who try and pretend Pearson didn't have an impact on us winning the league are hilarious. Do you think Ranieri would've gone and won the league with Stoke?

 

Last year seemed to combine the best out of absolutely everybody at the club. It culminated in the best way possible.

The more I read from the media I'm starting to think they believe that to be true.

but as others have said it's now coming home to roost that Ranieri probably got lucky in that regard and then some, especially given his reputation before then as being a 'one season wonder' at all the other places, Chelsea in the early-mid 00s aside perhaps!   

You have no idea what you're talking about. It's complete bollocks that he's a one season wonder. Try having a proper look at his record.

Not this Sh1t again, he was never that good a manager!! We was bottom of the premiership cut adrift and if it hadn't been for cambiasso stepping up and telling him how we should play we would have been relegated. In Claudio we trust 

When will people quit with this Cambiasso story? lol

 

If people didn't think NP was a good manager for us then they'll never be happy with anybody.

I completely agree we're in a nasty situation at the minute... But rotten? Come on. A rotten club wouldn't be on the back of our most successful ever season. If we do get relegated then things might get messy, but if that doesn't happen? A rotten club isn't a club who two or three wins could turn everything back around for. 

You're acting like we've not won. We've had a few wins this season. Every one of them bar none has been a false dawn. We have backed up every single win with an abject loss or performance.

Would Pearson  have ever won the league with us? No.

 

Did Pearson contribute a lot to our title win? Yes. 

 

Would Ranieri have won the league with West Brom? Probably not.

 

Is Ranieri a better manager then Person? Undoubtedly 100% yes. 

 

Ranieri has managed Valencia, Juventus and Roma. Pearson has managed Carlisle United, Hull city and Derby County.

How bloody ridiculous

 

Ranieri's achievements far outweigh Pearson.

 

How can you justify sacking Ranieri for him? How? Pearson wouldn't magically turn things around, despite doing a good job with us in his two spells.

 

Get behind the manager

Completely ignoring the fact that he was sacked for non footballing reasons and the owners would never take him back.

Not that hard to grasp is it? 

I often wonder where we would have finished last season under Pearson, we wouldn't have won the league but I still think we'd have finished in the top 6

He had faults but he's proved in the past he learns and adapts.  

 

Had we stuck with him we would not have won the league but we probably would have become a solid PL side. Similar to what Pulis have done at Stoke. 

Yep.

 

Don't forget Pearson never got to manage one of the best players on the planet too.

Easily, the momentum and the work ethic would have carried over, we would have still had Kante as well. 

Actually thinking about I think we'd have got a Champions league place, we were almost unstoppable in the final stages of the great escape, only a shit hot Chelsea side were better than us.

Is Sven a better manager than NP then as he managed similar size clubs to Claudio? 

 

No. He was a fraud. 

 

Not saying Claudio isn't better than NP but can't all just go on past or past club size.

I firmly believe there are managers for certain situations. 

 

Nigel got us up and built a unit and team, as well as an infrastructure, but also peaked. The incident that caused him to leave was unfortunate for him, and he obviously suffered the consequences, which is only right. It has left a huge "what if" though. 

 

I also believe Claudio came in and did what he does best, which is build on positivity and added some tactical nouse (as well as benefitting from Kante). 

 

Should Nigel come back? No, in my opinion. It might be the same players, but they aren't the same men. They have big contracts, and are Champions, something he is not, and it has been proven he and big egos don't mix. 

 

Claudio has second season syndrome. Always has. Lovely gent but (hoping I am wrong) but he is looking to be hanging by a thread. 

 

If we get a new manager, I think they need to be able to handle and overcome egos and bring some reality check. That leaves a repeat winner as the only option in my eyes. The question is, is there anyone available like that who would come?

Oh and for what it's worth I'm not pro bringing Pearson back. Too many burnt bridges. We need to analyse the good he did for us and work around getting back on those tracks. For all I've talked him up he's not the only man in the world capable of consistently building. We need to look for that.

I still believe that Pearson is more of a "legend" to this club than Ranieri. 

 

Got us up from League 1 to the premier league, yes with a little gap but still. 

 

Thats a difficult task. Ranieri already had a team which was together and in good form, which is very rare when walking in to a new job.

Generally a manager entering a system does two things.  First he tactically sharpens the team.  Secondly, and more importantly, is he builds the confidence of that team.

 

Ranieri has made mediocre teams fly high many times.  The problem is continuing this.  He alluded to this fact at the begging of the season.  

 

The team needs to be rebuilt and is in the process of that.  Unfortunately it is a painful time for us.  But it's necessary that we do it and have a solid man behind it.  

 

As far as the topic here I'd rather have Ranieri than Pearson.  I feel more confident of his ability and I believe that we will get through this.  

 

I also don't believe replacing a good manager with another "usual suspect" will help us at all, other than the usual bump a team gets...only to drop like a stone a week later.  We need look at other teams, for this example, who ultimately were relegated because of this knee-jerk mentality.

Going from League 1 to Premier League is admirable but nowhere near going from 14th in the PL to 1st in 12 months.

 

Paul Lambert and Nigel Adkins have taken clubs from League 1 to Premier League.

There's only room for one managerial legend at this club! 

 

And his name is Micky Adams

Sven was terrible for us and has been a fraud for a decade. But when both Sven and Pearson retire, Sven will universally be seen as the better manager. And stats back up Sven. 

 

I love Pearson btw.

Are you really asking whether Sven, who has managed the teams below is a worse manager than Pearson?  Really?  The man who has won league titles & cups in three countries, and the Europa League predecessor?
