ImBlue Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 You dont think when some club is in the mire come feb they wont look to Pearson? You my son are daft. He earned a lot of plaudits for getting Leicester out of relegation, but that side shouldn't have been in the trouble it was in the first place. In a situation where instant results are required, would I turn to him on the evidence of this season considering the tactical and selection mistakes he made over and over again? Nope. Maybe if he had Cambiasso running things for him like this season mind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImBlue Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 Okay, so what have Sven's big bucks loans and signings done since Sven left? Including Vassel, Danns and St Ledger. Pointless, most where at the end of the careers, or on the decline as he wanted instant results. Bamba didn't do bad mind.. Gelson neither..

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 Thinking about it, I think we're VERY lucky in having a DoF in John Rudkin. He's been at the club since God knows and hence knows the club inside out; he's not daft like John Carver, and he can provide valuable advice to both the owners and Ranieri in the interests of the club. I think you could well be right with that assessment Wymesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lestajigs Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 FFS yeah let's just ignore Pearson's League One and Championship titles because 20 years ago we were a half decent club.

Harry - LCFC Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 I think the term Pearsonites is being deliberately used to piss off those most sensitive about it (slightly tongue in cheek ) Ranieros ? Ranierites? Claudioites? Ranierists sounds decent I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 15 July 2015 Share Posted 15 July 2015 Maybe we could all just move on? Some love Nige, some despise him. That isn't going to change. The only thing that matters now is Ranieri being better and the club improving. No singing for Pearson, no Ranieri-ite bollocks, just see how he does. Pearson's gone and won't come back this time, we're going over the same old argument, finding ways to pick holes in his success and failures.

Ricey Posted 16 July 2015 Share Posted 16 July 2015 To be fair we have no idea if Rudkin is actually any good at his job. My thoughts also. My feeling is that if he was that good and/or the owners really listened to what he had to say then we wouldn't have been looking at people like Hiddink and Ranieri. The owners are calling the shots from a footballing point of view and that is not healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 16 July 2015 Share Posted 16 July 2015 To be fair we have no idea if Rudkin is actually any good at his job. From what I've heard from some employees at the club, who aren't players, he is a key presence apart from the owners and the manager/assistant manager.

Wymsey Posted 16 July 2015 Share Posted 16 July 2015 Yeah, that would be my guess also. But why did he replace Terry Robinson as DoF, ALONGSIDE his also current role as Academy Director then? Hence, I think someone 'high up' at the club recognised/recognises his values and understanding of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, I think someone 'high up' at the club recognised/recognises his values and understanding of the club. Because he's there. The same people promoted Andrew Neville to the role and saw fit to demote him again remember. The same people then appointed Robinson and sacked him. Being given the role is not evidence that you are doing or you are going to do a good job, or that you have the set of skills needed to to do the role. I would say the changes at that level, along with the changes at managerial level, show that somewhere higher up we are short of ideas and short of football knowledge.
