Weller in Tights Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Last 2 posters clearly don't support the team. Ironic humour I hope
Donut Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Think your spot on with that Una, I just don't like the snidey comments about a man who did an awful lot for Leicester City and the people who love the football club, much of what he did for charity goes unspoken but he went above and beyond his job description. He's a very honest and very decent person. I know I can't speak highly enough of him having met him. I'd bet that these people calling him names and being unfair on the man haven't even met him. Its like youre morally offended by people saying anything bad about him. Its like you actually love him, not just as a football manager but you emotionally love him. Why would a man with such a wonderful persona away from the camera have such an awful one on it? Why would he choose to do that? And please dont tell me somethng like "oh well he takes no shit from journalists"........you think thats legitimate? You can do all the charity work you want and have as friendly a character as you want away from the camera, its abit irrelevant really when the only environment anyone watches is your football one andhow you conduct yourself in that environment, where youre visible. Diego Costa could be a lovely bloke in his private life, but his antics on the pitch single him out as a thug. People wouldnt change their mind if he popped up and did a raffle for rainbows if they see him acting like he did on saturday. Im not making this a debate JUST about his media character, but im fully expecting to be quoted about 20 times now and told how much of a cretin I am for basically speaking the truth.
Unabomber Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Its like you actually love him, not just as a football manager but you emotionally love him.Can't argue with that.
davieG Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Threads like these are pure nonsense, and i mean pure nonsense. And I havent even watched the show yet. First of all, Nigel Pearson was a GREAT manager for Leicester City. Got us up out of League 1 to the Premier League, brought in quality staff and players. THIS IS NOT IN QUESTION and i respect that. What I do not respect is ZERO credit being given to Ranieri. And I mean zero, by a fair cross section of fans. MAN UP and admit some of you hate him. Just admit it. Because Pearson was sacked. I read the match threads retrospectively because im at the matches usually of course. And theyre a bloody joke. An opposition goal goes in its world war 3. There are people on there literally ITCHING for Leicester to lose a game so they can bring their hate filled bile onto the forum. Dont deny it. It is NOT Pearsons "team" anymore. So dont say "Pearson's Team" are scoring the goals, "Pearson's Team" lookdangerous, it is now RANIERI'S team, and RANIERI is coaching the players, getting them to fulfil what he wants, selecting the tactics and instilling the spirit. And hes doing a better job of it too so far. The way a player like Gokhan Inler is being written off as rubbish so soon into his career here for example is nothing short of farcical. The way certain posters came on here in the summer and lambasted the owners as some of the worst in football, predicted a 20th place finish, declared Ranieri would rip up everything good in the club, YOU should be ashamed of your pathetic, ill founded reactionary posts. So there. Of course i have massive respect for Pearson, arguably second only to O'Neill in the clubs history as a manager, but for a large section of fans I think Nigel Pearson will be the manager of this club forever, even if hes standing there in a Villa tracksuit. It's got very little to do with being for or against CR it was the same throughout Pearson's management. As for Inler people love a scapegoat he just happens to be alongside Delaet, a Pearson signing to be the current ones yet again mostly nothing to do with specific managers. Yes there are a few not yet convinced by CR but they are insignificant numbers compared to those who did and still do despise Pearson even after all he achieved.
Donut Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Can't argue with that. Well if thats genuinely the case I think you need some help.
Carl the Llama Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Ironic humour I hope I'm as serious as Una about this.

Davie G, its not a despising Pearson thing. I certainly dont despise Pearson. I just wish we could get away from the "Thats a Pearson signing" when talking about Mahrez or Vardy, or "Thats the Pearson spirit" when we turn a 2 goal deficit into a 3-2 win. Will we support like this forever? Why cant we acknowledge Ranieri has changed the tactics, or said something at half time thats made an impact? Because when things go wrong we are SO quick to jump on everyones backs.......play a back 3, defence look shaky, Inler is rubbish etc Our fan base is so disjointed.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Don't see how anyone can bash Nige, he is obviously the most top of top blokes and the only conclusion I can draw is that you have some sort of autism and you're unable to love. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes our fan base is disjointed it's what happens in football they'll always be fans that have extreme views on players and managers it's not new or surprising and as I was trying to explain not unique to CR.
Carl the Llama Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 And when his name comes up, all sensible debate goes right out the window. Is that a confession?
The Doctor Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 And when his name comes up, all sensible debate goes right out the window. Because there's no debate to be had. He was an excellent manager for us and what's happening now is a continuation of the groundwork he laid for us; much as Mourinhos work at chelsea first time round built on that of Ranieri. Anyone still stubborn enough to refuse to admit Pearson did a good job is a bit of a twat - there's no argument to be had there.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Pearson's record with us was very, very good. For that he doesn't deserve some of the serious hate that gets chucked his way. However, he's gone so let's look forward and focus on Ranieri who, so far, isn't getting too much wrong. The key thing is... you can be respectful of Pearson's achievements with us and wish him well while being fully behind the new man. Rocket science it isn't.

The key thing is... you can be respectful of Pearson's achievements with us and wish him well while being fully behind the new man. Rocket science it isn't. Absolutely. Ranieri deserves more credit than he's getting because he'd be slaughtered if we had two points right now. Pearson left the club in a good condition, Ranieri is continuing that work and everyone should be pleased at the progress that is being made. I don't see why we have to choose between them, I hope we look back fondly at both men for putting a process in place that saw us change from a lower division club to an established, entertaining Premier League team. As for the show, saw the first 30 minutes and thought he was quite relaxed.

Don't be silly, holding a nuanced opinion on here isn't allowed. You've got to be either respectful of Pearson and therefore support "NPFC", or support Ranieri and Leicester.
Frank to be Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Am I the only one who rarely sees any of this supposed hate for Pearson? I'm sure I'm not the only one who has seen the posts calling for Ranieri to be fired, insulting him, and belittling everything he does though, surely.

Or, like any sensible poster you've got Jimmeh, Dangerous Tiger and co on ignore.
Guest Col city fan Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Can't quite believe some of what I'm reading on this thread. (No, on second thoughts, I can...its FT). Nigel Pearson's man management and some of the players his team have signed have put LCFC back on the map. Ranieri looks to be taking it to the next step. Pearson has done more for this football club than any of the previous managers did throughout the last ten years. He signed Vardy, brought through King and Schlupp, signed Morgan, Huth on loan, Cambiasso, Drinkwater, Mahrez. How anyone can now criticise him like this is beyond me. Get your heads together boys, stop and think awhile at what he's given us..and repost in a way that will give us all some sort of hope for the future of man (and woman) kind..... Finally, remember the mess he took over from Lord Sven? Remember that fateful afternoon against Millwall? Stop...and for the love of God, think before you post.

Many wanted him gone before the season started.
Jimmy Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 I think what some are missing is it's possible to be both grateful to Pearson and also happy he's gone, as I am, I didn't think he would take us forward and we'd be in for a similar season to last year though it would be far less likely for the improbable run at the end to save us. Ranieri seems to be more tactically astute and more decisive when changes are needed.
richardsfoxes Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Anyone who doubts Nigel is a moron, took a sinking ship of a club from the worst of part of the clubs history to a club fans and pundits are praising in a million times better situation to when he first got the job.

Ranieri seems to be more tactically astute and more decisive when changes are needed. Why? He improved us season on season for the best part of seven years, and we were all aware he learned, albeit it very slowly, so to think he'd have ****ed this season up again seems completely and utterly bizarre.
Steven Posted 20 September 2015 Posted 20 September 2015 Nigel has moved on; when will various posters also do so?
