I always felt the players took things into their own hands for the escape. Good luck to him and the club though.-Top is obviously key to this. How convenient it is that you think all the good parts were to do with other people.
hackneyfox Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 Just now, Babylon said: How convenient it is that you think all the good parts were to do with other people. It all changed after the players had a meeting that didn't involve NFP or his staff.

Something which happens all the time when teams are struggling. Again, fook all evidence to back it up that they were personally responsible. Other than people who have ALWAYS been against NP wanting it to be true.
hackneyfox Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 Kevin Phillips seemed to think that it made a difference, that and the introduction of Albrighton.
RumbleFox Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 14 minutes ago, hackneyfox said: It all changed after the players had a meeting that didn't involve NFP or his staff. So did Pearson just twiddle his thumbs for the rest of the season and let Vards and Huthy sort the team? Maybe Nuge was actually behind our two promotions too? We honestly hardly played one bad game that first year back in the Premier League. I always felt our position was not quite reflective of our performances (obviously results are what matter though so yes, we were in a dire situation but I never thought we looked a bad team). All that your assertion proves it that Pearson is a reasonable man who is willing to listen to input from lots of different sources, including players. Maybe he did make a mistake but if he was stubborn, or not up to the task he would have blindly stuck to his guns and taken us down. For me, he always seemed like someone that made mistakes but would learn from them. Like I said earlier, he may or may not be a good manager going forwards and I am not saying I want him back here but to discredit his achievements here seems unreasonable? X
HankMarvin Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 Even if he is considered a flop for the premier league season (which would be unfair given it was his first full season at the top) You still have to give the man massive credit for 2 promotions and putting the foundations in place for our future success.
Jaspa Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 As much as people are saying its an amicable agreement to do with his unceremonious exit from the club, I'd disagree. If the owners wanted it dealt with without having to go into business with him again it would just be a pay off, theyve gone back into business with him so that more than implies respect and this is a great opportunity for Nige to get back to what he loves and develop again. I honestly want him to be a future England manager, the spirit he instilled here turned out to be gold-dust but he has to climb that ladder again. Anyways great news, Leuven have just earned some more fans
theessexfox Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 The players surely are the best authorities on his management capabilities, the effusive praise from the likes of Kasper, Gallagher, Vardy, etc show how loyal the players were to him, and the sort of ethos he brought to the football club - an ethos which seems somewhat distant at the moment.
dannythefox Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 This club just keeps on giving, forever making us look like a complete tit!
GeorgeTheFox Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 Hope he does well. Possibly the most important manager in our history
st albans fox Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 I don't think he is very good tactically (is shakey ?) but he is clearly very good at sorting out the structure of a club from top to bottom we are where we are because of him but as has been stated before I can't see we would have won the league under his stewardship
MC Prussian Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 Smart *****. Get in - all the best at your new club!
splinterdream Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 He's clearly lined up as our 'reserve manager'. He knows it and I'm sure Shakey knows it, without a shot of coming back I don't think Pearson would have took that job in Belgium, he'll be scouting a few players and waiting for his chance for sure.
dylanlegend Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 In terms of building a 'young, hungry and talented team' there's not many better

dynamark Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 I -FELT the players took things into their own hands in the escape 9 games or so that's all but results were awful up to that point that's a fact. Would never want our club to be languishing in that position again under any manager. Claudio and Shakey to a lesser extent have shown how simple it is to be pleasant and erudite with the media and the public and it works all round.
Sionnach gorm Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 I appreciate what NP did for the team, but his record of 14th in the Prem with 41 points and calling him "our best ever manager" is too much. I'd take him back only if we were relegated. He's an excellent Championship manager, and that is it for me.
dylanlegend Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 Big Nige has LCFC running through his veins. He loves us and we love him
MC Prussian Posted 22 September 2017 Posted 22 September 2017 Quote Today, OHL represents Nigel Pearson as a new coach of the club. Nigel, 54, takes over the duties as head coach with immediate effect. With the appointment of Pearson, Dennis van Wijk leaves our club. The Dutch coach thanked his team for Friday morning training and congratulated everyone very much. Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, CEO of King Power International, owner of OHL: "Dennis joined the club in January and led a young group away from degradation. Dennis's dedication was incredibly great and we are very grateful for his hard work." "Nevertheless, we have made the decision that we think is best for the club in the long run. A switch from head coach is never an easy decision, but this is necessary if we want to achieve our vision and ambitions." "Nigel is an incredibly good manager with a wealth of knowledge, good people skills and a strong winner's mentality. He will put OHL on track for the next few years." In addition to his tons of experience, Nigel will not only assist as coach but also assist King Power International in expanding the infrastructure of the club. Nigel already made great successes in collaboration with the Srivaddhanaprabha family. As a Leicester City coach, he led this club to the Premier League in 2014 and kept it safe in 2015. Nigel is a highly regarded coach in England and had the leadership of England U21, Newcastle United, Southampton, Leicester (2 periods), Hull City and Derby County in the past. Nigel Pearson: "I look forward to throwing me back to football, re-working with King Power's people and helping out with this beautiful club." "Through my experience with King Power's people, I know how to develop the club and I'm looking forward to contributing to it. The club has many good players and a good staff that guides them. can not wait to work with them and achieve our goals. " Nigel Pearson will already be his first training on Friday morning and will be on the bench for the first time in the clash against Beerschot Wilrijk on Sunday at the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium. http://ohl.be/nl/heren/nieuws/bericht/10296/nigel-pearson-nieuwe-coach-van-oh-leuven (translated via Google Translate) Note the bit where it says "will not only assist as coach but also assist King Power International in expanding the infrastructure of the club".

We changed formation, brought in albrighton and Huth and destroyed teams. The confidence from that run of games and the team NP built and we would have NEVER won the league
