Some strange decisions on top of previous strange decisions. perhaps the change of formation before Sevilla was the final straw. especially when we looked so much better when we went to the prepared set up. They may not have been looking. would seem neglectful given our circumstances but not impossible Maybe the case but surely we have to have contingency plans in place. It just seems we do not plan for things to occur. Just to add to that Pearson and Mancini are so different in terms of their styles, management, tactics etc. I think the management need to establish what "philosophy" we want going forward and establish a shortlist based on that.

STUHILL Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 I feel so dirty even thinking about Pearson coming back here! I do see why some are keen to have him back. I mean he is off his rocker and a prickly nobhead, but he knows the players and the club so well and if anyone could get us playing with some energy and desire again, then it's him... but.. Pearson?!! Surely not. I don't think the owners would want to go back there and I doubt he would even want to come back and work for the owners who sacked him in the way they did. Hiddink or Mancini for me or a very unrealistic O'Neill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stating that we were bereft of ideas that season too. Only Pearson could get away with 'bad luck' for 8 months of the season. Always makes me laugh when people say we played really well that season and just didn't get the rub of the green. It's like Will Smith has been on here an erased memories. No other manager in Leicester history would be excused 8 months on terms of 'bad luck'. We were shit for most of that season, as we are now. We had other bad runs under Pearson to. To assume he would come in and magic a good run is just as deluded as any other name being banded around here. No football team has bad luck for 8 straight months, it's called being shit or lacking in tactical quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performances were generally decent which was an opinion shared by pretty much every football pundit at the time. You can choose to remember things differently to support your agenda.

I genuinely don't think Pearson has the tactical ability to win big at this level. He might be able to sort heads out, plant good roots but tactically I would always have reservations.

HankMarvin Posted 25 February 2017 Share Posted 25 February 2017 Roberto Mancini joins Guus Hiddink as the front-runners to take over from Claudio Ranieri as Leicester manager Roberto Mancini is in with a chance of a return to Leicester as the new manager Interim boss Craig Shakespeare can also stake claim for the job permanently Mancini is joined by Guus Hiddink as the front-runners to take over the Foxes Leicester players have come out and denied any role in ousting Claudio Ranieri Roberto Mancini and Guus Hiddink are the front-runners to take over from Claudio Ranieri at Leicester — with interim manager Craig Shakespeare's chances dependent on the team's performance against Liverpool. On Saturday, Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy angrily denied Leicester's players influenced the sacking of Claudio Ranieri, while the club's Thai owners told the squad and remaining staff that Premier League survival now rests in their hands. But director of football Jon Rudkin, chief executive Susan Whelan, vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and football operations director Andrew Neville have already drawn up a short-list. A new manager is expected to be appointed by the middle of this week, unless the performance tomorrow indicates that the team will respond to Shakespeare.

For me though, that is Pearsons level and as far as I'm aware, we are still in the Premier League and we still have 13 games left. It is salvageable with the right man.

We all know Big Nige loves LCFC and he always seems to have unfinished business. I also feel he may have learned a lot from his experiences He hasn't learnt a thing - he's too pig headed, and that's why he should never return.

Well, in terms of immediate impact nothing, pearson probably has the upper hand. In terms of potential Rowett I believe has more, Nigel is limited by his ego and approach, it's no secret many players felt he was sometime bullying and many players not happy with his tactical approach until it came to desperation in the final 9 games. I love the man but remember vividly his poor tactical choices consistently, bizarre changes and poor media skills. I'd take Nigel for the final 13 and possibly more if he gets us on a run, not sure I'd want him for another 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally no. Against Liverpool, yes maybe that new manager thing might spur us on, but let's not forget, throughout the last few years he has been the link between manager and players. It's hard to manage anyone you are friends with over a period of time. Maybe that's why Sir Alex was so successful. He was nobody's friend within the squad. Purely the boss. I don't think Shakey commands the same respect. The term that he's liked among the players doesn't sit well with me, when you're scrapping for your survival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we need a high profile manager if we stay up so we can hopefully dump the Morgans of this team and attract decent players good players imo are attracted to high profile coaches mancini hopefully for me also in my view he will have to much affiliation with our old guard and won't risk anything new A new coach with a new perspective wouldn't be afraid to dump Morgan and cl if they can forge an alternative Shakespeare I think would stick with Ranieri's formulae of sticking with last yrs players regardless of results time wil tell I guess but new blood needed in coaching for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
