Never felt more connected to this club than I did when NP was in charge.

 

True legend 

Absolutely.

 

Interesting to know how he would have fared with us had he not been sacked.  Easy for people to say he was a poor Prem manager on the basis of our position for most of the "great escape" season, but it was a learning curve for him as well as the players and he might have fared much better the next season. What can't be denied is that he developed the mentality of the club and the squad, and he and his team essentially put together the squad that won us the title.

Hopefully this is a joke but in case it isn't here's some persective....

 

at one point in 2014 Pearsons Leicester got 2 points from 13 games. In 2020 in Brendan's absolute worst run as manager, a run which has people like you up in arms he has got 12 points from 12 games. 6 times more points than Pearson's worst. 

 

Yes Pearson was good for the club but it's acient history we are currently 3rd having our 2nd best season in our whole history. The players and manager are in a bad run, sod the nostalgic posts about Pearson let's get behind what we have now and hopefully enjoy some more European adventures next season.

No joke !
 

You are aware that Watford hired him only after Top intervened , he plays polo with the owners of Watford and does business with them

I always felt the club was in safe hands with Nigel at the helm.  I always felt we could win a game, even when going behind.  I always felt the players gave everything when they played for big Nige.

 

Nigel Pearson = Legend.

You do talk some twaddle. 'Intervened' my arse! You mean he gave him a good reference.

They were interviewing/considering people, top heard , so Top picked up the phone rang them and they hired nigel 

 

That’s an intervention in the recruitment process 

 

so yes he intervened 

 

you think Watford were ever looking at an English man let go in Belgium ? After his runs at Derby etc.....  come on ! 
 

Top got him the job ! And shows what an amazing man Top is

What behavioural issues? Telling a fan who should f*** off to f*** off, or having no time for bad sports journalists?

For me he will always be the best Manager we've ever had as he's the one who put us on the sound footingthat lead to our greatest ever achievement.

There's no one better to set up a Club. Which he's doing again at Watford.

 

However he'd probably agree he's not the greatest Technical Coach  But that's ok as he can always bring a good Coach to work with him.

 

He will always be a legend here.

We now have single players that cost more than the entire squad did in 14/15 - they're not comparable.

Any fan that doesn't consider Pearson a Leicester legend has a screw loose imo. He took over our club at our lowest moment and over a few years put in place a team capable of winning the Premier league. He and the owners completely transformed this club

The 14/15 crop eventually had 15 players which went onto win the premier league the very next season with a different manager.

 

It also had kasper, Mahrez, Drinkwater, Vardy and Cambiasso. I think Brendan has a net spend of 10 million which is less than 14/15. comparisons are not unreasonable in my opinion.

I don't think many would dispute that but this nostalgia filled thread with hints that things were either much better when Pearson was around or would be if he was still here, based on a couple of months of bad form is a bit OTT

Resistance is futile. You must join the cult of NP or be ostracised (or is that ostrich-sized?).

No but this place is always one extreme to the other

Just a reminder 

2008/09. Won league one

2009/10. Reached Championship play offs semi 

2011/12. Started process to get rid of the crap signed by Sousa and Swen

2012/13 Play off semi(again)

2013/14 won championship 

2014/15 stayed up in first season back in PL and had put the building blocks, and more for winning the premier league.

 

obviously some lows , specifically the loss of form in the second half of 12/13 and the dismal run in the middle of 14/15 but like the Brian Little & Martin O’Neil years great time to follow the club. The fact we still love talking about him all these years later shows impact he left and i imagine even those who disliked him for whatever reason deep down loved the period he was in charge.

Wallace (to a degree) Little, O'Neil and Pearson have had the biggest impact on the club in my time.

 

Claudio added that bit of belief. uplift and Latin flair and obvious worked until he started to do his thing.

 

Brendan has picked up on Puels vision and squad and early signs great but worrying now.

 

Pearson had Watford oozing with determination yesterday, something we lack
