Pearson gardening leave?

[Stevosevic]

Fulham would be great for him, some good young players to work with

[Izzy]

Don't think London would suit him to be honest.

The language barrier?

[ronnup]

He'll end up at Wednesday.

[foxfanazer]

The language barrier?

His northern ways

[jimmeh]

Fulham have a few ex man United youngsters too like tunnicliffe

[weller54]

I really think he'll get the Fulham job.. Wonder what the odds are?

Nigel Pearson is a pundit on beINSPORTS in the Middle East with Keys and Gray today.

 

Asked about Jamie Vardy's future, he said: "I don't think it would be right for him to move at this moment."

Nige agrees with most of us then. Good man

[MPH]

This is nothing to do with Pearson - it's to do with Leicester fans harping on about him. There was much I liked about Pearson's management but much I didn't like too. Which feeling came to the fore depended on the day.

You were the one who called him a God!

I just can't see him working for Lee Hoos after how he treated him at LCFC

[st albans fox]

would go against most of what we think we know about nige.

If warnock has a few good results then he will probably keep it for the rest of the season?

[Guest]

I think he also said the same about Alan Sheehan

[TJB-fox]

If I were a championship chairman without a manager, especially at a 'messy' club like QPR I'd be doing absolutely everything I could to get Pearson in. Not many managers can steady a ship and produce higher quality results/performances at the same time

[Thracian]

You were the one who called him a God!

 

 

 

Haha, how selective. That was somewhat tongue in cheek and made after a good day....more years ago than I care to remember. I said many other things about Pearson even at that time including countless suggestions that he improve his PR. "Seeds on stony ground," comes to mind.    

[stevebrock]

you do realise that the Thai 3 - were out of contract end of June?

[inckley fox]

If you don't love Pearson for what he did for us then you either have ridiculously unrealistic expectations or are just an ungrateful tit

 

I suppose a fan could be thankful for what had happened without wanting to credit him for much of it, and yet still get behind the club and be a decent fan. A person might feel we had the potential to be a top six side when we went down in 2008 and that the bounce-back was inevitable; or believe that the financial backing of our current owners made promotion and survival a perfectly reasonable expectation over four years in his second spell. It all seems a bit of a stretch but someone could, arguably, think those things and not be insane.

 

But we've only ever had a small number of managers who clearly took the club forward - Hodge, possibly Orr, Halliday, Gillies, Bloomfield, Milne, possibly Little, O'Neill... if somebody were to hold them - Little aside, some may argue - in disdain now I'd tend to think they couldn't be fans of the club, just as if they thoroughly disliked Adcock, Black, Chandler, Rowley, Cross, Weller or Lineker.

 

If someone were to slate those legends 20 or 30 or 90 years later it might bring their support into question because it would show a disregard for those who once gave so much for the club, and who did a lot to forge its modern day identity. But when it's 4 months later and we're sitting third in the PL with a side he mostly pieced together, having been in the third tier just 7 years ago when he first turned up, it's quite hard to fathom why any fan would be so disrespectful of his contribution. Perhaps it's because he once said some horrid things, perhaps it's because some people were keen to see Leicester do well but not so keen for it to be with Pearson in charge. Whatever, the history speaks for itself, as it did with Sven and the rest, and as it will someday with Ranieri.

I think we can recognise that Pearson did a good job without having to bang on about him forever more like he was the second coming of christ.

If you haven't got over Pearson yet you need to snap out of it and quick. We're having one of the best seasons ever. This is what Leicester City fan dreams are made of and some people aren't enjoying it because they can't get over Pearson being sacked.

Wake up and smell the coffee, it's delicious.

I am enjoying it! That's why I'm grateful to someone who played a huge part in it. I had a great birthday too a while back, but just because the people who bought the presents bought them a good few weeks earlier doesn't mean I wasn't pretty chuffed that they'd gone to the effort. What he did is a big part of what we're going through now, surely? So, considering I wouldn't have the slightest problem with someone harping on about Dougan or Weller or Smith or Walsh, it follows that harping on a bit about a manager who only left a few months ago and did a lot for the club is pretty much inevitable. And I'm not sure anyone has suggested he was flawless, or the Second Coming, or God incarnate or whatever, just that he was a person to whom our on-going success owes a great deal.

Yes I appreciate that but he isn't the manager anymore and we're doing rather well without him so can we just move on?

The point is that Pearson is the one who has put the vast majority of the work of getting the club to where it is now. From League One to Championship to Prem all whilst blooding young players and making people work for the shirt and caring about the club.

 

Ranieri has taken Pearson's work and ran with it, rather than picking up the pieces.

 

And if you don't believe me CR has  said as much: 'With what we're doing, the benefit is behind me, the former manager, players, the club, everything.'

He also put in a lot of work on the infrastructure of the club and brought in some very talented behind the scenes personnel .....  there are several other important people in there apart from Shakey and Steve Walsh,  such as the sports science staff ..  (thanks Languedoc for the info) ...... 

 

Lets hope he leaves them there .
