Yes. We should mark any anniversary associated with Nigel. Maybe we go for the anniversary of every goal scored, the anniversary date of every player he signed, maybe the anniversary of when he first joined, next joined and then the subsequent anniversaries of his sackings when he lost the plot on and off the field...

 

Part of our history, was good for us at the time.

 

 

Good idea. I might just do that. Thanks.

I won about £230 off this game. Backed 2/0 and Fryatt to score first. 

 

Stockport away a week later was fun 

I still can't get my head around the fact I went to Stockport away for a league fixture lol 

 

League One was a low point but the away days were great.

I remember just before he got appointed, The Mercury printed our final three-man shortlist that read: John Gregory, Nigel Worthington or Nigel Pearson.

 

Can you imagine?

Gives me an excuse to post my Greg in a box made when he was favourite

When you look at Pearson's spells in context of historical league finishes it's incredible the progress we made. We would never have won the league under him but we'd be continuously improving to the point of where we are now, at least in my opinion. If you look at Burnley as an example they've stuck by their manager and had a clearly defined transfer strategy which has paid dividends. Pearson was a slow learner but he usually got there in the end. I'm aware this is speculative but we were in a healthy position under his guidance, I'm not advocating for him to return but it baffles me that some still refuse to even grudingly admit he did an outstanding job.

Legend!

 

Completely revolutionised this club from top to bottom.

 

We were a stinking old fashioned club going nowhere and he modernised the club from with his obsession to detail, conditioning, sports science and stastical scouting and brought is kicking and screaming to being a proper 21st century football club.

Our greatest manager. Will be honest (and this a was a lesson for me for why the big name is not always the best bet) I was quite disappointed on his appointment. Simply because I thought we needed a more experienced manager at the time. 

 

Boy (to my absolute delight) did he prove me wrong !! That summer he rebuilt us for the first time with quality signings and re-energised the club. 

 

Legend - that game was the start of our upward surge. Hopefully one that isn’t going to stop anytime soon.

I remember being so disappointed by his appointment, how wrong I could be. He made me fall in love with football and leicester city again. I've almost blanked 2005-2008 from my mind, but how anyone can have any memory of those dark times and not love Pearson is beyond me.

League One defending is a shambles. 

 

People should watch more Championship and League One football before saying Chilwell is of that standard, or Chilwell is the new Mattock. Chilwell is 10x the player Joe Mattock ever thought he was.
