Ollie93 Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Yeah because this is going to work. Like they care about 100 odd protesters hahah
Frank to be Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Ridiculous. We don't even know why he was sacked. He might have done something that all decent people would agree was worthy of the sack. We don't know who is lined up. We might be getting a top level manager. People are going batshit over this. It's not that big a deal.
indierich06 Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Yeah nice one. I've seen some over the top replies since the sacking, but this one takes the biscuit! I'm not a Leicester fan because of Nigel Pearson! Leicester City will carry on without Nigel, but without good owners you never know what mess you will end up in! We have good owners and don't know what has gone on behind closed doors at all. And Leicester City will carry on once this pair get bored and sell up. Why is it no problem to hold a manager accountable for poor perfomance, but not the board? We should just shut up and accept anything they do because they're holding the purse strings? It's not like they can just up and leave, they would have to sell the club to someone else.
nettle Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Give your season ticket back that's a good way of protesting.
siCiteh Posted 1 July 2015 Author Posted 1 July 2015 Yeah nice one. I've seen some over the top replies since the sacking, but this one takes the biscuit! I'm not a Leicester fan because of Nigel Pearson! Leicester City will carry on without Nigel, but without good owners you never know what mess you will end up in! We have good owners and don't know what has gone on behind closed doors at all. The owners have been good in many ways. That does not mean that we cannot make clear our annoyance when they make potentially catastrophic decisions.
surrifox Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 I'm not sure what that would achieve.The owners stood against the wishes of a good many supporters when they kept NP in the absence of any evidence he had a plan for arresting our slide towards relegation around feb/March and when the on/off sacking was announced there was some sort of family fall out at that time presumably over differing views as to what was best for the club.. NPs conduct has been at best flakey all season and there must have been times when NPs obstinate and intransigent persona has been in evidence in board and internal meetings. The owners would be uncomfortable with much of this and the official statement makes reference to a difference in perspective probably code for "the mentalist has gone too far this time" I hope that the owners are getting decent advice on the new manager and don't make the mistake of going too populist to "please" the supporters - so no MON, Lennon or other character from the 1990s-000's please

The Horse's Mouth Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 I don't think he would want to be reinstated at this point, the bridges are burnt. No going back at this point sadly
Mark_w Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Ridiculous. We don't even know why he was sacked. He might have done something that all decent people would agree was worthy of the sack. We don't know who is lined up. We might be getting a top level manager. People are going batshit over this. It's not that big a deal. It is a big deal and your constant bollocks is not the least bit interesting. We don't know why he has been sacked. That's the problem. And while I'm not going to ask for a refund of my season ticket because I do love football and I do want to have a season ticket when the owners are gone, I won't be buying anything from the club shop, concourses or anything else that goes to the owners until we get a reasonable explanation.
lcfc278 Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Ridiculous post. As much as I'm gutted that Pearson has been sacked, to suggest we start protesting the club about a sacking which we don't know all of the details about, is ludicrous. We've enjoyed some great seasons with Pearson and he has, bar MON, been the best manager in my lifetime as a fan. However one thing is clear, no one is bigger than the club and the owners have invested a huge amount of money in the club and will decide what is next for us. I for one trust them and the way they have ran our club thus far gives me nothing but confidence in them. If you wish to protest and hand back your season ticket or membership, please do.
siCiteh Posted 1 July 2015 Author Posted 1 July 2015 Yeah because this is going to work. Like they care about 100 odd protesters hahah Why 100 odd? The fans DO have a say when they get over the 'yeah, like we can make a difference' type of thinking. AFC Wimbledon?
Guest Lcfc82 Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Protest not necessary but the club need to be a bit clearer about why he's been sacked. The statement that have released does not say enough. The reason he's been sacked may be totally valid. Probably can't say to much at the minute for legal reasons
Guest MattP Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 The way the modern football fan bows down and worships the feet of their own clubs owners no matter what they do really is strange, a lot genuinely seemed scared to air or even hold an opinion against them in case they decide to up and leave, something they can't actually do anyway. It really is quite sickening to have to watch when you come from a generation of fans who used to try and hold them to account.
gerrytaggart Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 We should all roll up in numbers to prevent Dyche getting through the door for his interview.

I'd like an explanation too but I think it's safe to assume it's something quite serious. As someone said it's probably a case of "the mentalist has gone too far this time". They won't be able to divulge the details for legal reasons so don't hold your breath. Just get on with supporting the club. I realise it's hard for youngsters for whom Pearson was the first decent manager we've had, but there's actually a lot of decent managers out there and when you're in the premiership and you've got money to spend they're easy to attract. We'll be fine.
Viva Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 And Leicester City will carry on once this pair get bored and sell up.

We don't know the full facts behind the decision, so demanding a refund for a season ticket seems stupid. They would indeed have to sell the club to someone else. But the next owner could want to pick the team for the manager, have us playing in red and re name us Leicester Lions!

So you support hounding the owners because they've sacked Pearson for a reason we don't know? What if it turns out Pearson has been assaulting the staff?

It really is quite sickening to have to watch when you come from a generation of fans who used to try and hold them to account. Isn't is strange? Perhaps this generation has not seen the benefits that making your voice heard can bring. We should let the club know that this is a mistake.
Xen Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Pearson and the thais will never work together again. All that a protest will achieve is driving the owners away when they realise that the fans don't respect their decision, and pearson isn't likely to come back straight away if they do leave, anyway.
Babylon Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Whilst I don't agree with the decision, a protest will not bring him back I'm afraid.
Mark_w Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Can we stop assuming that 'this generation' are all idiots who are happy being walked over please.

But the next owner could want to pick the team for the manager, have us playing in red and re name us Leicester Lions! But some people have been saying all day that Pearson leaving isn't the end of the world and that our next manager could take us on to the next level. Why, when we're talking about new owners, is it always 'better the devil you know'? And if the owners refuse to make their reasons for sacking the manager clear, then they can't really expect the fans to be satisfied with that?

Just get on with supporting the club. I realise it's hard for youngsters for whom Pearson was the first decent manager we've had, but there's actually a lot of decent managers out there and when you're . Just be a good little football fan, buy your ticket, sit down, spend your money and don't ask questions. The last line is a classic, you clearly don't remember the last time we were in the premiership, had money to spend and thought a good manager would be easy to attract.
purpleronnie Posted 1 July 2015 Posted 1 July 2015 Whilst I don't agree with the decision, a protest will not bring him back I'm afraid. But surely just voicing your opinion is good enough. Not every protest is rewarded.
