Dr The Singh Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Never been a big fan of his, but I wish him the best
Gamble92 Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Never fails to amaze me how many of our fans have it in for the man who was more vital than anyone in our successes of the past 10 years.
volpeazzurro Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 4 hours ago, Analysethis said: He didnt cover himself in glory but no one can doubt what he did for us.Its funny how he was at the helm and it was all his fault when we were in the relegation zone but when he managed us to that amazing run to get out of the relegation it somehow isnt down to him?!! Firstly he was part of a team. When they parted, his managerial skills remarkably disappeared with them. We got promoted with them (they did a fantastic job) on fast attacking pasding football. Three or four not so bad games into the season, 'Pearson' changed tack and tried to go defensive with a not so good defence. Disaster. Huth was the inspired signing eventually but arguably it was Cambiasso and players ignoring Pearson that got them over the line. Pearson prior to that did a sterling job in reforming the majority of the playing staff. He rightly deserves a huge place in our history. But ... since leaving and working on his own, he's been shite. Let's not pretend otherwise.

I think most fans respect what he did but they wouldn't want him back here now. He had his time and did a job well. Personally, I think he was instrumental to setting us up, promote us from League 1 then take us up from the Championship (along with his management and recruitment team). However, he was a little out of depth in that Prem season and we were heading for relegation. Luckily things turned out as it did. People moan about Puel being stubborn, but Pearson was Mr Stubborn himself. It was frustrating at times in that first season back in the Prem. Nonetheless, a name always recognised as shaping the history of LCFC.

We finished 14th in his only season in the Prem with 41 points, and we were very,very unfortunate to get nothing from many of the games as well. Considering it was his first season managing in the Premier League with a newly promoted team how on earth can that be considered anything but a success ? Baffling. Btw I do agree that Pearson shouldn't come back. (Just in case I get accused of 'harping back to the past')
Sionnach gorm Posted 5 February 2019 Posted 5 February 2019 It is difficult to criticize a man that has been a part of Leicester’s success. It is perfectly understandable why so many here love the man. So without taking away credit from him and his triumphs, I have a difficult time saying that he’s not the man for a league such as the prem. I believe Pearson should look for a Director of Football position and not a managerial one. He’s no nonsense and doesn’t take shite from primadonnas. He has other qualities that are made for this position, such as man-management and a keen eye on talent.

That's funny, because he failed pretty hard on those accounts at OHL. He insisted on bringing Hirst, who got a weekly spot in the starting eleven up until 3 weeks ago, and who has been dogshit all season. Players can't stand him, because he's made an absolute mess, backing the wrong players, like Hirst, and dropping the ones that actually still made a difference.
Ric Flair Posted 5 February 2019 Posted 5 February 2019 Pearson might be going the same way as Bryan Robson and Peter Reid.
Guest Col city fan Posted 5 February 2019 Posted 5 February 2019 It looks like Pearson has become a spent force. I so hope I’m wrong but he’s done really badly everywhere he’s been since we sacked him.

If that fails then he might well walk away from management.
Foxxed Posted 5 February 2019 Posted 5 February 2019 Sad for the man who did so much for this club. I feel like Pearson would have turned it around eventually. But he took a team edging for promotion, give them players from the Premier League (albeit u23s), and the sports psychologists that help us win the Premier League, and then he looked certain to take OHL into the ameuter Belgium league. Hard to argue against that tbf.

Nonetheless, a name always recognised as shaping the history of LCFC., People forget,under Pearson tenure..he built up one of the best backroom staff,coaching,scouting,medical sporting units, that this maybe any other club,ever had!!! One that should of taken us well into the future....unfortunately Ranieri with his draconian thoughts of "Italian-is-best-mentality,actually pulled the club back into trouble,and ruined a damn good base to lay and build a strong platform from..!!... I was never a pearsonite,or any other manager (ite), but Pearson got us back on an above even kiel...and his 2 tenures,was top management and service To this club...If he hadn't got sacked,..nobody but Nobody could say if he would of taken us to that title of not,and any opinions are mute!!! What counts it was him that gave us a great period and era,and a base others should have taken advantage of...!!! His story afterwards doesn't interest me,and no I wouldn't want him back,unless we implode and find ourselves back in the championship,but even then just as another applicant..!!
Wymsey Posted 5 February 2019 Posted 5 February 2019 Ranieri probably wouldn't have come without some of the foundations that Pearson had built.

pazzerfox Posted 5 February 2019 Posted 5 February 2019 The players respected big Nige and is highly praised by many players that played under him. The players certainly knew who the boss was when he was in charge! There certainly wouldn't have been leaks in the press of discontent among the squad.
The Doctor Posted 5 February 2019 Posted 5 February 2019 Imagine calling for Puel to go so you could replace him with a bloke who lasted 2 months at Derby and took promotion favourites to bottom place in the Belgian second tier Huge respect for what he achieved here, but surely everyone admits he's a spent force?

Agreed and not in doubt. Pearson also wasn't capable of doing what Ranieri did with that team. Everything that season fell into place and it was based on years of building from Pearson, that West Ham game where (apparently) the players a la Cambiasso took over from Pearson, the sacking, Ranieri, big teams being "average" etc etc. If one of those parts were not there, we would not have won the title.

Yes Ranieri is not the best manager but he can get a job done. I wouldn't go as far as destroy Pearson's good job, maybe by winning the title he did as the dynamics around the club completely changed and threw the steady development out of the window.

I spoke to a mate the other day about how the managers get the stick or plaudits, but the work the assistant does goes unnoticed. For me Shakespeare was a cracking number 2, and Pearson is lost without him imo, not to the same extent because he held top jobs after leaving here, but thought O’Neill was a better manager with Robertson as his number 2. This is absolutely right - we Ole GS with Mike Phelan - if Moyes had kept Phelan he might still be in the job honestly.

Who it could be argued...kept us in the title race,and eventually helped us to win it..!!! So your attempt at being sarcastically negative fall on somewhat stoney ground....
