The People's Hero Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 1 minute ago, filbertway said: I mean I wouldn't have him back at this point as I'd like to think with the money we have available there are better options. You just always seem to be immediately negative about the man, how would you rate his work at Leicester out of 10? I've just always wondered what it is about a man that not only won 2 promotions, but put together a backroom staff that has essentially been the foundations of our rise and success in the past 10-15 years, that really seems to grate on some people. It’s funny how these summaries of his time here miss out the long winless runs, his son bringing the club in to disrepute in Thailand, him bringing the club in to disrepute in his actions with James McArthur or whatever he’s called, the many reports of him bullying players, the disdain he holds for leicester fans, etc etc. I credit him for the great escape but it was him who put us in that situation. Do you want me to grade him for his first or second stint here ? Or for his whole career? 2 1

I feel like the bullying and disdain for leicester fans are just fabrications, but if people believe that then fair enough. If you mean disdain for people shouting abuse at him then fair play, who doesn't... I'll let you decide if you want to split it into both or have his whole time at Leicester Not much point grading his time at Derby. 0/10 and he got about 3 games at Watford didn't he. He's doing fine work at Bristol City though, trimming the wage budget whilst keeping the club in the division after many seasons of Lee Johnson spending large sums and getting nowhere. 2

The People's Hero Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 There is a club in blue who can only have three managers ( fry, Ferguson, McCann) but it’s not us. 1

There’s quite a lot of jobs he’s had that you’ve conveniently ignored there, old pal. Look at his jobs and you’ll see he’s a 0/10 most jobs. His current miraculous job that has leicester fans of a certain age lauding him some football management messiah sees Bristol City in the bottom half of the Championship. Probably about where they should be, if not a bit low. But yeah if you ignore all the time he’s been crap (most of his career) then you can make an argument that he’s brilliant, just like you can for any manager. Being selective with the bits of evidence you choose to use is brilliant like that. 👍 1
Sly Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 O’Neill is a dinosaur in footballing terms. The game has gone past the likes of Mourinho, Wenger etc So why would anyone want a Manager with less tactical nous than that? The same Group of people that want Cambiasso and Pearson no Doubt. 1

Roy Keane or Lennon as his assistant, tasty. he’d definitely be my favorite but he already has a job and Bristol City would have us over a barrel for compensation. We really only need someone for 9-10 games. He’d Not leave them for that length of time..

It’s funny how many NP haters focus on the irrelevant non footballing issues rather than the indisputable football achievements he had with us. It’s funny how many NP haters still seem to be so concerned about the welfare of Crystal Palace midfield Shithouse James McArthur, or the ‘bullying’ of a renowned disruptive character who had few friends at the club in Matt Mills. You are right that NP put us in the position to achieve the great escape - he did this by winning The Championship the year before and by signing the players that achieved promotion, premier league survival and premier league winners in consecutive seasons. Pearson is a Leicester legend however painful that might be for people that don’t like him. 9 1

The man increased a wage budget from 114 million to nearly 190 and has put the club in serious danger of relegation. That's a proper clown of a manager. Nige then Saints: Kept them up at our expense Leicester PT 1: Smashed league one and reached the play offs the following season Hull: Fairly overage job...1.4ppg Leicester PT 2: Trimmed wage bill and got rid of dross signed by Sousa and Sven. Steve Walsh on board who signed players like Vardy, Mahrez, Fuchs, Kante, Drinkwater Scouting and medical departments massively improved Promoted with record number of points (or close) to Premier league. Kept team in Premier league. Derby Awful chairman, awful squad, booted before he had chance to do anything Leuven Probably his worst time, did absolutely dreadful here. Watford 1.18 ppg which equates to 44/45 points a season. Weirdly let go before end of season Bristol City doing a fairly decent job by all accounts working with a limited budget and bringing through some decent young talent. 6 1
foxfanazer Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Hmmm how can we make this already shit season even shitter? I know! Let's get relegated with a legendary manager who managed us 23 years ago. Wish we'd have kept Rodgers and let him take the blotch on his CV 1
Brainy Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 This would only be fair if West Ham sacked Moyes and replaced him with Alan Pardew or Harry Redknapp (or to a sicker extent, Glenn Roeder)

You can overdo the current tactical nouse argument. Rogers was very tactically aware. Right now we need a motivator. MON was also clever, he is one of the most intelligent men in the game and a proven winner. 2

Mr Weller 2 Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 5 hours ago, lcfcbluearmy said: Genuinely think if we are going down the legend route it would be better to get Pearson back. Still in management and some of his staff are still at the club. Not convinced either is what we need at the moment though Pearson has a job-not that he’s doing well at it. 1
