Get well Nigel Pearson

[Long Eaton Fox]

Great manager. Laid the foundations for all of the last 10 years success. Get well soon Nigel.

[Buzzell]

What a hero, what a legend. We love you Nigel. All the best on your recovery 🦊 💙

[Vulpecula]

What a shame! 

 

Best wishes for his future.

Do you need to pay for this?

Just me that spent a minute wondering how Big Nige could possibly have been an ex-colleague of Maya Angelou before re-reading?

[Clever Fox]

What a legend, We owe it all to him and his team on and off the pitch.

 

Get well soon my friend, We may still need you again.

Fully fit in time for the first training session in July...

Never go back they say but I’d love this man at the helm again. Never took any BS and the players wouldn’t dare undermine him. Plus he was hilarious in press conferences.

Much as I love Big Nige and what he did for the club I think the “never go back” mantra is a good one here. 
 

NP hasn’t been great at his other clubs and I think that we were very lucky to have the holy trinity of Pearson, Walsh and Shakespeare. I feel a return, amid our current demise, would only tarnish his legacy.

More than fit enough to sit behind a desk and replace Rudkin

I love NP for what he did for us, and I think he'll have potential as a DOF. However, his health comes first. Hes not the man he was, let him be. Let him enjoy his life.  from a Leicester prospective, he's earned it. 

 

I have nothing but admiration for him, especially after what he has been through. A man of dignity and if he was my manager, I'll walk through walls for him. 

 

Enjoy your life Mr Pearson. LCFC loves you more than you'll know.

So would the players who ended up playing for him. 
 

That’s why we became how we became. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Maybe bring him back in a consultancy role where he can work to establish a backroom network of analysts, sports scientists and structure that worked so well in the past, whilst also laying the groundwork of a football strategy for the next 10 years.

For whatever reason, him and us just clicked. There's examples of managers doing very well at one club and then struggling when the leave, Eddie Howe when he first left Bournemouth being a decent example.

My thoughts exactly. We don't deserve him and he doesn't deserve us 

 

Will always be my favourite Leicester city manager

I don't quite buy in to the 'he's not done well anywhere else narrative' either.

 

He stabalised Bristol City on a shoestring after years of overspend and missmanagement, brought in experienced players to keep them going and blooded lots of academy talent.

[AjcW]

Tell you what i've always found baffling though... for a sesnsible man he's worked for....

 

- Our owners 3 times!

- The Allams at Hull

- Derby under that absolute nutcase Morris

- Watford  

- Bristol City and the lansdownes 

 

Sucker for punishment?
