ozvaldo Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 No, I'd like Barry Hayles to come in as Player-Manager.
Walshy5 Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 In a heartbeat yes. 3 things though. 1 it'll never happen. 2. He'd tell us to **** off now anyway even if we did approach him and quite frankly who can blame him. And 3. It would make us the biggest laughing stock in the history of English football.
Dan Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 This is pretty much why I can never warm to our owners entirely. I will never ever warm to putting our reputation amongst people who have no connection to this club over the fans and club itself and that's where there'll be clashes.
Strokes Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 3. It would make us the biggest laughing stock in the history of English football. Could be happening anyway.
john ridley Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 If this all goes tits up this season , I think the honeymoon could be over for Top and Co .
CosbehFox Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 He's been well behaved at Barcelona. Just search Suarez's antics at Liverpool, and the reaction of sponsors including Adidas and Standard Chartered. Forcing apologies etc. And the shirts at Liverpool still got sold. They still get fans from the Far East etc. Standard Chartered stayed on the shirts as well.

Every fan should always be cautious of a takeover to their club where the ambition seems to be immediate. The fans are a club. An owner is not. King Power will not be here when I pop my clogs. There will be another owner.
shailen Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 If I was Pearson, I would not come back. If the owners cannot appreciate the job he has done in the history of Leicester City fc, then there is no reason for him to come back.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 8 July 2015 Posted 8 July 2015 I think the crutch of it is we all want a healthy, premier league stabilised Leicester City, I was a big Nigel Pearson fan, nay a huge Nigel Pearson fan, but we move on and I think what we all want is to move forward. I'd be happy if we had a manager with a reputation ready to take the reigns or a hungry, young manager with bags of potential tapped up. It's becoming increasingly clear the club have neither of these things in the pipeline and the names we are being linked with are abysmal. We made progress year on year with Nige, and I was hopeful if not confident that progression would continue next year, now I'm just worried and half expecting us to be uncompetitive, unmotivated and just a bit shit next year. Not really what I imagine any Leicester City fan would want.

King Power will not be here when I pop my clogs. There will be another owner. Been cautious throughout. They have done some things will, but I'm starting to think that the majority of it was just the fact they let someone who knows what he's doing, do what he does. What would their motives for coming to Leicester have been? My faith in them has hit an all-time low.
LCFCSOULBOY Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Absolutely No. Never go back. Always look forward. Sadly didn't work out behind the scenes. Damage occurred sadly. Admit was never a Pearson fan, not because of his managerial skills but for his attitude. Not a good representative for a brand. And yes LCFC is a brand. Always has been and always will be. Just a theory but I got an idea that Pearson got a little full of himself. Thought he was irreplaceable and became belligerent. Would explain some of his antics last season. The whole notion that be did it to reflect pressure from the players, crap as far as I am concerned. I feel it was all about him and the pressure he as feeling. His ego is huge. Now he is gone I just hope the owners can find a good replacement a d not just settle for any one but.
mid devon loyal Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 This smacks of pure desperation. Desperation of the highest order never heard of people power in a desperate situation
Beliall Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Id never have sacked him. Even if he shagged my sister, and my mother, and posted it online calling them sluts.
Benji Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Id never have sacked him. Even if he shagged my sister, and my mother, and posted it online calling them sluts. You know the drill - pics or GTFO.
Thracian Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 No. For all his undoubted ability in some ways he's not only shown some serious weaknesses as the public face of our football club but doesn't really show the willingness or capacity to learn from his mistakes and to show the "class" his position requires. It's not all about the money you make, our position in the League or even the togetherness of our team. Those things are vitally important but, at the top level, there are other aspects too. You have to try to set standards consistently - and in every way. Yes, everyone falls short at times, but if you continue making the high-profile gaffs Pearson makes and expect to stay in the job. As I've said once before, it's a pity. Most times I'm glad to see the back of a manager but Pearson was a character with qualities.We might have gone a long way in a footballing sense and in a way that might have been sustained. Pearson shouldn't worry too much. He'll be back at work soon enough and I'm sure the experience will serve to motivate him still further. PS: Having read that Preki is our likely choice I'd try to turn back time and forgive Pearson anything!

Now he is gone I just hope the owners can find a good replacement a d not just settle for any one but. Well, I'd say the current struggle to replace him demonstrates that he was as close as being irreplaceable as it's possible to be! The dearth of credible candidates to replace Pearson really illustrates how rare it is to get a Manager who can assemble a squad of ambitious young professionals who love the Club and who would run through a brick wall for a Manager. Sacking Pearson could be a real turning point in this club's fortunes. It reminds me of the Wycombe FA Cup defeat all those years ago: The moment when the energy and belief goes out of a club. After that, a downward spiral is almost inevitable...
MC Prussian Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Of course, I would. But he won't come back a third time.
themotivator Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 Yes, but... 50% cus he was a good manager and 50% cus of the poop in my pants at the lack of manager we currently have.
lcfcbobby Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 would never have him back in a month of sundays!!!!! don't get me wrong I thought he was a good manager and he had the players playing for him but he was so much hassle and was never a fan of some of he substitutions! you cant have a manager that strangles players of the opposition during the game!!! it just brings bad press to the club!!!! but im deffinatly in favour of getting a manager that people have at least heard other than this yank/serb

Mark_w Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 and was never a fan of some of he substitutions! Were you a fan of the football club improving season after season? Probably not worth worrying too much about the substitutions then.
Grey Fox Posted 9 July 2015 Posted 9 July 2015 We would look like a laughing stock bringing him back a week after we sacked him (not a much as giving the job to Preki), but so what. I would welcome him back with open arms.
