AyewJoking Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 the world has gone back to normal. we pull of the greatest escape ever, putting together a winning run that we will never repeat at this level bang! the owners shoot the club in the head with the worst decision at the worst time.
Hack Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Seems the owners may have found a replacement they feel is a much better option to take our club forward... feel sorry for Nige did a fantastic job and will be regarded has one of our finest managers in years... I tend to think it is not because they have someone else ready to go. I really do think they have had a major blue with NP about serious management issues, that would include staff, his son, wages, funds in general etc. The wording of the statement I think goes to the issue that the board can't work with him and his demands. I love Nigel Pearson, but he still has bosses and has to work with them in the way they want and agree. These guys are the best owners we have ever had and has been said by almost every poster on here. This is hard for us to understand and accept, but they are still the best owners we have had and will we hope get the next decision right. We may really never find out what exactly happened, but please guys remember what the Thai's have done for us. We all will remember what NP did for us and will wish him well where ever he goes, except when his team plays us. And for whoever mentioned him for the England job, that could be a great call.
EnglishOxide Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 I'm not being funny. But I don't understand why anybody's loyalties lie more to the owners, who only ****in appear in Leicester on match days, than to the team manager who has actually done the work on the ground, got his hands dirty, won 2 league titles and secured a second season in the PL. They are in danger of undoing the good work they did (as in, not getting involved in team matters and affording Pearson time). All because they have prioritised the values of King Power over the welfare of the football team.
Guybino Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 The board have just committed premier status suicide imo. What about the players!? them and Nige have been through alot together.

st albans fox Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 And for whoever mentioned him for the England job, that could be a great call. They wouldn't trust clough or rednapp. They ain't going to trust Pearson with his antics. that's why he isn't our manager. he's too big a risk. Old school. Not bothered about public persona. the game has changed.
GaelicFox Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Top is a prize Twat and so are the other idiots. You don't sack a manager that has got us to this position. They have not got a clue about football. What's next... Calling us the Leicester red foxes? I don't give a **** what happened in Thailand. Thailand has sluts...wow. This will be the same as when Taylor came in... Watch us fall.... Thankyou schrivacluelesscutnsuky family. They own the club , we are simply customers , if we stay up , end mid table no Fecker on here will be moaning We might be yo-yoing between the championship and league one without this family Pearson was fecking nuts , effective when effective but from October till March last season the calls for his dismissal was rife The run at the end of the season looks more a Devine intervention than a managerial master stroke That said pearson was a bit of a hero of mine , he genuinely always had the clubs interests at heart I think we will be ok , and pearson will be in a job very very soon
GaelicFox Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 The board have just committed premier status suicide imo. What about the players!? them and Nige have been through alot together. They are professionals , let's see who comes in , I'm hoping it's big Sam . It won't be exciting but we will be fine and stay up

Frank to be Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 The common theme there is that success came when Pearson was in charge. Now that he's gone maybe it won't turn out OK. We've had success without Pearson in the past and we'll have it without him again. We're about to start our second season in the premier league. We've got the money to buy good players. Season tickets are sold out, the atmosphere is bouncing. We still play in blue, we're still called Leicester City. The owners might not be perfect but they've hardly made a pigs ear of things. We don't know why Pearson was sacked. Must of been something quite serious given how patient the owners have been before. I don't see the point in getting the knives out. I know some fans can't wait for their owners to fail, particularly foreign owners, for various reasons. But me I prefer a bit of positivity, there's every chance we'll be able to attract a better manager than Pearson now we're in the premier league with money to spend. Just a call for some positivity.
Guest MattP Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 The point still stands. They sacked him when a lot of people thought they shouldn't and it turned out OK. They reappointed Pearson when a lot of people thought they shouldn't and that turned out OK. They showed faith in Pearson when a lot of people thought they shouldn't and that turned out OK too. Now they sacked him when a lot of people think they shouldn't, maybe this will turn out OK as well. The problem here is that the ones who didn't want Pearson back, didn't want Sven sacked and were calling for Pearson's head non stop are from the small core of fans we have who just get absolutely everything wrong time and time again. Maybe it will turn out OK, history tells us otherwise though. All I know is yesterday we had a manager that had the respect of the players and fans, was taking us further every season, was building an extremely talented squad with a club full of optimism and excitement, now we've thrown it away for a shot at something else. We had a steady business and we've gambled it all for a shot at the roulette table.
Jacnah Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 A phone call? Absolutely ridiculous. The best manager we've had this century and they didn't even have the guts to sack him face-to-face. What a horrible way for the last 4 years to end. its a bullshit piece with no basis of fact anywhere in it at all if you read it carefully. Its probably just been knocked up at a desk by a journo using a bit of artistic licence. If Pearson was 'astonished' and told the journo so then where are the quotes or the reference to "Pearson said.........."
justfoxes Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 I don't agree with this decision but your post is a load of crap really. They have shown far more patience than most owners. Pearson has clearly fallen out with the board we don't know exactly what has happened but I'm sure he wasn't blameless. I think they are probably very attractive owners to work for. Agree mostly with you apart from crap post as everyone has their thoughts on who why how etc and whole heartedly agree that the thaisbonly have our best interests at heart and only want what is best for us which has seen is backed heavily financially both Nigel and the club as a whole but everyone will have their own thought on what happened at least it's not after the first game of the season we have time to bring in a new boss or like some think they have one already WHO FOOKING KNOWS? I was shocked as hell hearing about this as as an anti Pearson earlier on in the season both team selections outbursts etc I then held my hand up to say I was wrong did start to warm to him and was looking forward to next season but now we have to await to see who's next (please not the ginger tw@ douchebag Dyche !)
Christoph Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 I worry about the team cohesion now. You could see at the end of last season how well the team was getting on with Nige. I do wonder whether the team might be feeling sour and not wanting to play the same type of football or show the same type of commitment for a new manager. Horrible decision that I feel has betrayed a lot of fans. I dont think i'd have jumped at a season ticket knowing Pearon wouldnt be here next season.

That post doesn't really respond to what I've said because there's nothing much you can say to defend what's happened. It's a poor decision and that needs to be stated very clearly.

It's a poor decision and that needs to be stated very clearly. How can you say it's a poor decision when you don't know what it's based on? What if Pearson punched a junior staff member in the face, would it be a poor decision then?

What if Pearson punched a junior staff member in the face, would it be a poor decision then? If that's the case I'll admit I'm wrong. But I won't be wrong so I'm going to carry on stating what is obviously true, that this was a poor decision that puts the club's future at risk.

You'll assume the worst of owners that have done nothing to warrant it based on nothing whatsoever. That's your chosen outlook and you're welcome to it. Me, I prefer to assume the best in people until proven otherwise.

Me, I prefer to assume the best in people until proven otherwise. The only good reason for sacking him is if he'd done something truly awful. By assuming the best in our owners you must also assume the worst in Pearson. Your little 'faith in humanity' speech only leads to contradictions I'm afraid.

Can you post the tape recordings of all the conversations for us? I would love to hear it. Perhaps he called them all ostriches. Or told them to f*** off and die?
lestajigs Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 I cannot believe they have sacked him, without even having an replacement lined up, seems like they don't have a clue about football, it's not bloody ping pong lol

By assuming the best in our owners you must also assume the worst in Pearson. Your little 'faith in humanity' speech only leads to contradictions I'm afraid. I don't assume the worst in Pearson. If I had to guess I'd say recent events and Pearson's attitude towards them has lead to his position becoming untenable. In this unique situation, with his son involved, he doesn't necessarily need to have done something awful for the relationship to break down.
Wymsey Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Anyone at the Marriott (various sightings of ''new players were seen'' at this location) or Belfry Golf Club (apparently ''Martin O'Neill had talks with the owners'' there a year or so back) for the next few days?
Tielemans63 Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 We've had success without Pearson in the past and we'll have it without him again. Excluding the O'Neill era, name another successful period in the clubs recent history.
foxfanazer Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 As much as I'm annoyed and upset by the decision i can't completely turn on the owners. They have done so much good for us. Hope we get the answers we deserve from them but i won't hold my breath on that
