I’ll always love Claudio for that special season, what a respectful humble man for us to have shared the miracle with, those tears at Sunderland I will never forget, we’re bonded to him forever

I don't think I've ever been more emotionally connected to a manager than Pearson so I'm surprised by that comment.

 

Agree with Rodgers though. Great manager but don't feel any connection with him whatsoever and his name barely ever gets sung.

That's interesting, many others have said the same regarding Big Nige!

 

I loved Pearson, he's one of the best managers we've ever had. Thanks to him we came back from the doldrums to be a serious force and all of the infrastructure he put in place is why we are on such solid footing today. But perhaps it was the way he sat in teh stands to watch the game from above, or his press conferences, or even touchline manner. I wouldn't say he didn't connect with the fans in the way Rodgers hasn't, but he was nowhere near MON or Ranieri did.

 

MON I think was the best actually. I feel like we won games that were on the edge because of the way he was. He got the crowd going, who got the players putting in that 10% extra to get us over the line. Given the team and resources he had at his disposal, what he achieved was incredible.

 

Anyway like I say all 4 have been brilliant, each in their own way. It was a pleasure to watch our team play under all 4!

That’s wrong re Pearson. He was barely in the stands when managing us and was always on the touch line encouraging the players and fans. It is weird though how those 3 had the interaction with the fans and Rodgers choses not to. He just writes in his little book all the time.

Claudio deserved it. We are forever intertwined. It’s respect for the man and the miracle, not disrespect to Brendan. 

 

 

Rodgers was very kind about it afterwards, a classy touch!

 

Just win us the league Brendan and we will sing for you forever too! lol

Supporting Leicester and celebrating a man that achieved a miracle are not mutually exclusive. What a strange outlook.

I agree.

 

What's strange is celebrating the man managing the team we're playing more than our actual team.

VB, I know where you're coming from, really, but in my opinion it was celebrating 15-16 - I'm sure the team understood that.

Love the bloke. Very, very weird that we sang louder for the opposition's manager than we did for anyone else though.

I thought we overdid it a bit but glad that Rodgers name was sung straight afterwards- it wasn't a Ranieri-only love-in.

He was managing the team playing against us today. We support Leicester. Today his name was sung louder, several times, than any song in support of our own team. That's weird.

I agree with this. Before the game was fine too but that's where the line should be drawn. We don't want to encourage him or his team once the game starts. His song during the game was the loudest I'd heard the KP in a very long time. Let's not be the next Liverpool living in the past!

It hardly encouraged his team today

Whilst we were better today then recent games, I didn't think there was that much between the two teams apart from our forwards being clinical. We had 18 shots and they had 17 shots. Whether or not they got any encouragement from his name being song is debatable but I thought in game it was strange. Before and after I have no problem.

Why would it encourage the opposition?

Will always be the absolute don. I cannot get my head around anyone that doesn't hold him in the highest regard, the next time you watch a load of content from the 2015/16 season have a think what you think of him then.

 

What happened the season after doesn't even bother me now, we did the right thing and sadly it may have left a sour note for him and seemingly some of our fans but he was faultless the year before, better than any manager we've ever had. No other manager wins the Prem for us that season, just like no other variation to that squad wins it us either. It was the most perfect and finely tuned and poised sporting collective there will ever be.

 

I get some fans are hugely loyal to Pearson, I respected and appreciated everything he achieved with us but I've never had a problem closing off what he built us and then what Ranieri picked up and used all his unique ability of managing the situation to help deliver the unthinkable.

 

What a crazy era, but I'll never ever do him the disservice of failing to appreciate or recognise what an absolute warrior he was here. Many managers will survive longer here and maybe that's needed for some fans to build a rapport but seeing the same fans struggle to appreciate and warm to Rodgers as the ones that at every opportunity get half a bar on when Nigel Pearson is mentioned again, it just shows how difficult it is for them to ever move on and enjoy what calibre of manager we now get.

Get before and after game but mid game just seemed disrespectful to current manager. Claudia wouldn't want it either with a job to do. 

I don't know this Claudia woman but I'm sure she'd have been fine about it

It certainly will give Ranieri a lift and it may have energised him to motivate his players a little more during the game and at half time. Every home ground should be a cauldron for the opposition and they should be made to feel unwelcome during the game. The fact that his song was deafening is bizarre and defeats the purpose of what away teams should be made to feel.

I'm a massive Nigel Pearson fan but I have to agree about giving Claudio huge credit for the title win. Big Nige and the owners picked us up as a club and really set some incredible foundations which ultimately led to the 2015/16. I don't believe we would've won the league with Pearson in charge. Claudia was a master at working the media that season and it really felt like the players thrived off of the good vibes. 

 

I love Pearson and I have to admit that he's my favourite Leicester manager in my lifetime. Just feel like he got us and was a perfect fit for the time. I appreciate Brendan for what he's done here but there does seem to be a bit of a disconnect with him and the fans for whatever reason.

It might have also distracted him, how the hell will we ever know?

 

It didn’t stop us getting 3 points, so it seems really quite silly to narked about it now.

Yeah it may have but I'm just making the point that it's bizarre in game. I'm not upset or angry that it happened, just thought it was strange but there we go.
