Clever Fox Posted 28 November 2015 Share Posted 28 November 2015 Totally agree with this. Coming here with the foundations that had already been put in place made it one of the easiest jobs in top flight football Different Managers different idea's. How many times have we seen new Managers come to a club and try to change things to his way ending up alienating the players and getting sacked Months later. Moyes could have been still at Utd if he had the good sense to keep Giggs and Phelen onside.they knew the club inside out and were loved by the players. C Ranieri has used his wide experience in the pro game, Was smart enough to see how good thing where here all ready and recognized he didn't need to change anything. Just work with the players to add his coaching skills in organizing the defence a little tighter while allowing the forward players to express themselves. He also has courteously acknowledged the great job Pearson has done. As a Club Manager Pearson is up there with the very best. But as a Football Coach Ranieri is streets ahead of him. As long as Walsh is left to identify the transfer targets then we should continue to prosper. I think Ranieri is smart enough to do that also.

Mike the Metal Ed Posted 28 November 2015 Share Posted 28 November 2015 His league record seems solid enough. He's not Clotterill. Let's wait and see. I said some silly and rash things in the wake of Nigel's departure, and I underrated Claudio a bit, but yeah, measured response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImBlue Posted 7 December 2015 Share Posted 7 December 2015 Reading the comments back in here just makes me think the expectation setting by Pearson was excellent. It actually made some believe all we could ever achieve was survival, and we could only take the next step after surviving for around 3 years and building. Loving life in the fast lane with Ranieri, we're going places, and fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving life in the fast lane with Ranieri, we're going places, and fast! a) we've achieved nothingb) the owners stated survival for three years first and so did Ranieri, that's not just a Pearson thing. c) there is nothing to suggest we couldn't have done the same under Pearson as the form end of the season suggested. Especially with the Fuchs and Kante signings. Maybe we wouldn't but you don't know. d) obvious troll is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 7 December 2015 Share Posted 7 December 2015 The kante thing is interesting. At the time, it was said that he didn't really know too much about us. After Claudio joined it was said that he knew of Claudio so was willing to listen to us with more interest. Ironically, I read that Claudio wasn't keen on the deal as he thought him too small but Walsh convinced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImBlue Posted 7 December 2015 Share Posted 7 December 2015 a) we've achieved nothing b) the owners stated survival for three years first and so did Ranieri, that's not just a Pearson thing. c) there is nothing to suggest we couldn't have done the same under Pearson as the form end of the season suggested. Especially with the Fuchs and Kante signings. Maybe we wouldn't but you don't know. d) obvious troll is obvious. a) I never said we had? But almost certain safety by early December is an achievement no? b) doesn't everyone say that to keep people grounded? Ranieri still is but quite frankly we all know if he got to 40 points by the end of the season and just kept us safe he wouldn't be in the seat for next year. I don't think Ranieri ever, deep down thought successive 17th place finishes in the next 2 years would constitute success, as Pearson would have. c) especially with Fuchs and Kante? He had Vardy last season and managed to get 4 goals out of him, Mahrez not much more. We all know he was too tactically poor. His next job being in the championship will prove that, despite the late run that kept us up. d) the constant ridiculing of Ranieri and his record, especially Greece makes it especially sweet for those that believed he would take us to the next level, beyond just surviving. Those who said it was a mistake sacking Pearson would be bumping now wouldn't they if we were bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireFox Posted 7 December 2015 Share Posted 7 December 2015 Don't think this has been posted yet. Right before Monaco secured promotion. @1:59 "Our goal is to arrive at the Ligue 1, and then I don't know if [the chairman] wants to arrive at the top immediately or maybe 1/2 years." Sounds a lot like, "Our goal is 40 points, then we'll see from there." Hopefully our owners tell him to go for it and spend a bit in January. "Ranieri is certainly in hurry to return to a competition he knows well from his time at Valencia, Chelsea, Juventus, and Roma." And who would have thought it would be Leicester, not Monaco, that he'd be returning there with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who said it was a mistake sacking Pearson would be bumping now wouldn't they if we were bottom? a) safety is safety, if we slide down the league and end up 14th, the season was no more successful than the last. b) Right so you admit everyone says it to keep people grounded. But when Pearson says it, you somehow glean something else from it compared to when everyone else says it. Do you see the problem here? c) But he did get it right at the end though, with Vardy and with Mahrez and with the team. Pearson is a slow learner, everyone knows that. But he always got it right evertually and we always achieved under him, despite people like you saying he wasn't good enough for x, y and z. You can say he didn't get something out of Vardy last year, but players take time to learn the league (just as Vardy did on his first step up in the champ). Look at interviews with them, they have all mentioned it taking time to understand what it takes, personally and collectively. d) Just as Person's record makes it especially sweet that he proved you and the others wrong, continually.

Max Power Posted 8 December 2015 Share Posted 8 December 2015 It's clear Pearson, Cambiasso and Chris Wood were holding back our title challenge last year. Now we can press on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
