suffolk fox Posted 12 November 2015 Posted 12 November 2015 What do you want to 'move on' to? We're doing brilliantly and we're full of praise for the people behind it, Claudio, the players, and those who - while no longer at the club - continue to have their impact felt. Surely praise, or gratitude for Pearson is in the context of something which is happening right now. There are enough posts about O'Neill flying around 15 years on, and why shouldn't there be? People want to enjoy their memories, but his relevance to what is happening now is - if anything - incredibly minor. Pearson's isn't. And if things go slightly awry because Ulloa and Kramaric aren't up to it when they have to stand in for Vardy, or our right backs turn out to be useless, or we're left with Schwarzer to fill in for Kasper, then he'll be relevant to that too. It's not as if appreciating Pearson's impact and appreciating that of Ranieri are mutually exclusive, and if you ignore one and focus on the other then surely that would amount to a failure to fully appreciate the situation we find ourselves in now, and the reasons for it. Now if someone is weeping nightly over the fact that the Hallowed Nige has gone, maybe they should move on, just as people who wished to God that Sven had turned out to be better than he was and never especially enjoyed Pearson getting all the love should have long since moved on. But when someone has enjoyed great success at a club which doesn't tend to enjoy great success, and very recently, and when our current - greater - success owes a lot to that, I can't imagine why fans should feel obliged to move on from talking about it. Claudio, the players - they haven't forgotten it. And, seeing as we spend plenty of time moaning about Taylor, or Levein, or Holloway - times which would be wonderful to forget - it seems fairly unrealistic for people to suddenly blank the moment the light appeared at the end of the tunnel! What have the Romans ever done for us?
davieG Posted 12 November 2015 Posted 12 November 2015 If the people that don't want to hear or read about Pearson stopped saying so in threads about him then in all likelihood they'd die of their own accord, well at least until he found a new job and you could sit back with the satisfaction of knowing that people are not still posting about him.

To me there's a pretty clear ulterior motive at play, and that's to continue pushing Pearson forward as the main reason for our current success, in doing so undermining Ranieri's effect and planting the seeds for a disproportionately negative response when we do inevitably go on a bad run. This negativity will destroy the carnival atmosphere we've been enjoying on and off the pitch and potentially contribute towards a further downturn in form right at the time when the team needs positive support the most. In other words, I think the "pearsonsites" are being subtly malicious in order to bring about a negative spiral that will end Ranieri's success and thus justify their continued negative opinion of the club in respect of their managerial decisions. See also: the FEAR of shakey and Walsh leaving ("the success is all down to them and not ranieri, if they leave ranieri will fail"), and the comparisons of supposed Pearson signings (Kante etc) against Ranieri signings (Inler, Benny) and how this proves the future is not bright under ranieri Call me paranoid, but that's how I see it.
The Railway Man Posted 12 November 2015 Posted 12 November 2015 Don't think there is anything supposed about whether Kante was a Pearson/Walsh/Shaky signing, it's pretty obvious.
davieG Posted 12 November 2015 Posted 12 November 2015 We don't need 2 Pearson topics so post in here http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/102651-where-will-nigel-pearson-go-next/?hl=pearson if you've got anything to add.
