He has his strengths as a manager, but also serious flaws - and I'm not talking about his media presence. Plenty of 'true' Leicester fans have very real and justifiable reservations about him. Speak for yourself mate. I count myself as a 'true' Leicester fan (season ticket holder for +20 years!) and I dont have any 'very real' reservations about Nigel Pearson. Honest bloke who did a great job for LCFC who might have a few flaws.....but then again, dont we all?!? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't suggesting that all 'true' fans have reservations about Pearson - many (including yourself) clearly don't! I was just taking issue with the suggestion that you can't be a true fan if you have your doubts about him. To be honest I always find it a bit weird when people suggest that having a certain view makes you more of a true believer than those who think something else. It's akin to religious folk competing over claims to greater orthodoxy. Edited 22 September 2017 by ClaphamFox 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ted Maul Posted 22 September 2017 Popular Post Share Posted 22 September 2017 HAHAHAHAHA F**KING YES MATE Wondered why on earth this thread had turned 'hot', but I couldn't have imagined this. Big Nige will return to Leicester. We can keep Shakey on as assistant. Walshie might even come back if his spending spree at Everton is deemed a bit of a failure. They will lead this club forward, year after glorious year. Cannae wait man, it's going to be great. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were bottom of the league for most of the season after we got promoted to the Prem with a team that should never have been down there. It was his tactics that did that. Yes, we survived, but I'm not convinced that was wholly down to him - there are credible reports that player power of one form or another played a major part in the change of tactics that eventually proved so successful. Besides, there's a difference between having reservations about him and saying he's not capable. I think he's a moderately capable manager equipped with the undoubted ability to motivate a team and create a very strong infrastructure behind the scenes - good qualities to have. I also think - and have always thought - that he's weak tactically, has little ability to change things around when the team is struggling and makes terrible substitutions. So a mixed bag overall, but not somebody I'd ever want back in charge of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
