DMU Fox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I've always found it weird how hated Pearson is considering he did what we all wanted him to do - get out the Championship (by winning it) and then getting us to stay up in the Prem - and for the most part of that 2nd reign we played some decent stuff. I seem to recall there was general bemusement and stick directed at the owners when he got the sack 18 months ago - not sure why the hatred toward him has increased in that time. That said, i just can't see him coming back, and i'm not sure it's a good idea either. Pretty sure he hates Rudkin with a passion, and it was Rudkin who briefed against him to get him sacked, so that's a recipe for disaster for starters. He won't have Walsh with him either. And i can't see the owners swallowing their pride to that much extent that they'd get him back. Having said all that, watch him get announced Monday afternoon just before the Liverpool game.

ktfox59 Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 It all seems a bit of a mystery, like the owners haven't a clue, but would you not think that they possibly already got their man? Given all the adverse publicity over the sacking, would they be so stupid as to instal their man so soon? Making it obvious that they were undermining him too, if that were the case?

dannythefox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 Love Pearson but to come back he'd have to change his ways, lost the plot a bit towards the end. Can't see us giving him another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRocket Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 Is it just me who thinks "when he lost the plot" so to say he got the attention away from the player when we was playing poor and on to him self so the players didnt get the stick for it? I really didnt understand why people hated what he did. Yes it made him look bad but he kept the attention away from players who played poor n got them to focus on the targets set for em. Saying all that i wouldn't mind him back here but don't think it will happen plus it might make him have a ego and think he can get away with everything but who ever we get in will have ny backing if they show fire get us playing fearlessly and making sure they know as foxes we never quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridFox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I just fear the media would have a field day with him. Now that we're the most hated team and given his past antics, he's going to be under constant scrutiny. That said, after some of the nonsense that's been levied at us this season, I wouldn't mind him telling one or two to stick their heads where the sun don't shine!

ktfox59 Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I don't know whether I am speaking out of turn here, but objectively, whether you all like Pearson or not, for whatever reason, surely the goal for all of us as supporters of the club, is to see us remain in this league. What he has or hasn't done to offend or not, is surely irrelevant? If he or any manager can get us winning games and staying up, what's the deal with whether we like them as people or not. If they do the job then that's the deal. To be fair I'm sure after the bad publicity regarding Vardy and Simpson, the great majority forgot those errors of judgement on the way to the title. So for me personally, I'd rather forget who I do and don't like as a manager for whatever reason and just get behind him to try and achieve the only objective. Staying up!

He also built the foundations of our club from the sport science, to the back room staff. Sorry I cannot take any fan serious that bashes Pearson for his off pitch antics, because our performance on the pitch, for the majority of his career with us, was a success. from the heartbreak of stoke away under that pathetic excuse of a manager Holloway, to watching Lloyd dyer tear mk dons apart in the first game of the season in league one.. There was hope again. Pearson gave us something to believe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Kasper personally, but hearing him talk and seeing how he conducts himself, I don't doubt that what he said in that interview is 100% true. He said that none of the players had any say in what happened with Claudio. Add to that, the posts from Vardy and Albrighton's Mrs etc.. I think this was purely the owners sacking a Manager that has been woeful for 8 months and would take us down. If you think the owners are asking the players who they want to be manager, then fair enough, but I highly doubt that has any truth in it. Well he didn`t actually answer the question did he. Saying the players had no influence wasn`t saying that the players hadn`t spoken with the owners about Ranieri. Clearly some of them had, all be it probably at the request of the owners though. What he was basically saying, without saying, was that what ever the views expressed by the players were, it was the owners who made the decision to sack Ranieri. Which of course is true, but i dare say that had the players come out in full support of Ranieri, then there may have been a different decision from the owners. What ever, it`s done now, and we have to move on, but i`m a bit concerned about the reaction of some of our fans towards the players on monday, especially if things don`t go well in the game.

He actually was sacked though for football reasons but then reinstated a few hours later. To be honest, if you or anyone else feels that it was right to keep Nigel Pearson at the time when he was sacked, and then reinstated, then you really should have been behind Ranieri being given to the end of the season, because even now we are 4 points better off than at this stage that season. You can say that the players were still behind Pearson then, but they were looking no more like staying up at that time, than we do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sad as that is. at this time during the 14/15 season, we went to the emirates, had matthew upson at cb & somehow were the better team despite the result.

Pretty sure he was sacked before the end of the season, because we were playing shit boring defensive football, and had been bottom for three quarters of the season. It was on a sunday. I seem to remember it being all over Sky sport news, and this site going into melt down, with all his cult members crying, followed by euphoria from them a few hours later when he was reinstated.

Deluded. I've said before I can see he may not be everyone's favourite but what he achieved is undeniable. He has played a huge part in where this club is right now. If you disagree with that then I really question your intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
