Babylon Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 Haven't heard the Jamaica manager comments but there's no smoke without fire, and there has been an awful lot of suggestions about 'something' going on behind the scenes last season before the turnaround. Someone is bound to spill the beans one day. A lot of suggestion by the morons who said Pearson wasn't good enough for league one, or the championship etc etc. It's nothing more than a figment of peoples imaginations.
Dodgy Bob Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 A lot of suggestion by the morons who said Pearson wasn't good enough for league one, or the championship etc etc. It's nothing more than a figment of peoples imaginations. Birch and Ulloa have both said things that might have implied something. I'm sure there was another one as well but I forget. Now this. Maybe it's a load of rubbish but they're quite well removed sources from within the club all hinting at 'something' specific having happened. Maybe it was Pearson deciding to listen more to the players, which might be considered good management. Maybe it was something else. Maybe all the comments have been taken out of context and the fact that they all imply a similar 'event' having taken place is all a coincidence. I really have no idea. Like I said, someone will spill the beans one day in a book.
davieG Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 Falling share price can't be a reason because King Power isn't even listed on the stock market. Haven't heard the Jamaica manager comments but there's no smoke without fire, and there has been an awful lot of suggestions about 'something' going on behind the scenes last season before the turnaround. Someone is bound to spill the beans one day. The football business is awash with smoke without fire, practically every transfer rumour for a start.
Richard Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 Morgan said he takes Kasper with him to meetings with the manager now so could have something to do with that?
Soar Fox Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 Morgan said he takes Kasper with him to meetings with the manager now so could have something to do with that? Kasper has came out and said Pearson was the best manager he has ever played for. Obviously that was before King Claudio took charge.

An innocent comment about sitting down and looking where they could get points to stay up, gets turned into them suddenly sitting down and working out formations and how we're going to beat teams.
m4DD0gg Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 NFP was a PR hand grenade ready to go off any second and the owners new this. Had the tactical ability of a diesel locomotive and rarely if ever had a plan B.
ousefox Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 I thought it was common knowledge that Schlupp masterminded our escape I'm glad this has taken off
ousefox Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 NFP was a PR hand grenade ready to go off any second and the owners new this. Had the tactical ability of a diesel locomotive and rarely if ever had a plan B. Why is a plan B necessary when plan A is working?
thursday_next Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 If someone writes a book and claims to know what happened last season, then people will either go 'Told you, that's what I thought, or almost what I thought' or take part in a massive ad hominem campaign in order to utterly discredit the guy who's written it. This goes for both sides. Time to move on. Though I don't think we will, not until all the participants in this debate are dead..

An innocent comment about sitting down and looking where they could get points to stay up, gets turned into them suddenly sitting down and working out formations and how we're going to beat teams. Birch said that Cambiasso had "mapped out how we were going to survive". That's very much open to interpretation to me. Combined with the other comments, it's a bit smokey. Might be nothing, might be something. I don't think any of us know the truth, yet.
red5 Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 I had to google what obstinate meant I was going to do the same, but I refuse to use google not matter how many people tell me how good it is.
m4DD0gg Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 Why is a plan B necessary when plan A is working? Thats the problem plan A wasnt working was it.
OadbyBlue Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 Didn't Kevin Phillips pretty much confirm the cambiasso story in an interview? Might've been with radio Leicester. Not that it takes anything away from what Pearson did in his spells here.

I've said it before I wasn't bothered about how Nigel Pearson spoke to the media as them cvnts deserve everything they get.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 I heard this second hand, so i make no claims to accuracy You lost me at that bit Wes said earlier this season that NP was the best manager he had ever played for. So I'm not sure what the point of this is. Pearson and Wes were very close. Wes was his eyes and ears in the dressing room just as Pearson was for Big Ron back in the day.

Obviously you have learnt nothing from the media handling this year and how it deflects from the players. Imagine trying to respect that idiot as a player when he is making a total twat out of himself on a weekly basis in front of the cameras.

Thanks... so you havent heard about this interview with the Jamaica manager? certianly makes it seem unlikely. Its just that the person who told me about it ,is not a football fan and has no care about LCFC, NP or anything Football related
Captain... Posted 10 May 2016 Posted 10 May 2016 If Wes did talk to the Jamaica manager I assume he was on duty with the Reggae Boyz, so when would it have happened? does that correspond with the great escape? It could well be that Pearson had lost his way a bit, the body language in the dug out and the press conferences were not that of a man in a good place and Wes and others might have felt that Pearson had resigned himself to defeat. Pearson could have felt the same about the players and that they had given up the season, it looked for a while like some had. Maybe a frank and open discussion was what was needed to clear the air and get a fresh approach going. It sometimes happens in a relationship where you are pissed off with your girlfriend and because she is pissed off with you, but she is only pissed off with you because she thinks you are pissed off at her. We've all some of us have been there and all it needs is to talk it through and realise you both want the same thing. It is not far fetched to believe Wes spoke to another senior figure in the game to get advice, and it is perfectly feasible that under intense pressure the relationship between Pearson and the players became strained. The senior figures in the dressing room and Pearson talking things out and deciding to go for it in the last 9 games is a plausible out come.

Imagine trying to respect that idiot as a player when he is making a total twat out of himself on a weekly basis in front of the cameras. That's the thing though you listen to the players and it seems they had the upmost respect for Nigel Pearson. You heard them many a times say that the Nigel Pearson you see in the media is totally different to the Nigel Pearson they saw everyday.

What I have done is spoken to players who were in that meeting so I've got a pretty good idea of what went on. And rest assured the squad were very supportive of the manager, incredibly so in fact.
