TamuffFox Posted 30 January Posted 30 January 21 minutes ago, indierich06 said: You've said this about 5 times now - I'm sure you think it's very funny - but he's also been Director of Football at arguably the best sporting university in the country, his work with the England national Futsal team was impressive, he's worked with England u18s, he's worked with Leeds u21s and been their interim manager, and his current side are only 12 places below us in the football pyramid, where he's done a stellar job with very little budget, outperforming lots of historically bigger clubs. He's not just a PE teacher from Lutterworth College is he? It's like calling Postecoglu a Australian lower league manager because that's where he started out. Incidentally I don't think we should be looking at a manager who lost 60% of his games in his final season with a historically top 6 club and recorded their lowest ever lowest ever finish in football's modern era, before going to our rivals and losing nearly every single game and getting sacked after a month. MON used to be salesman whilst managing Shepshed and Grantham. To mock Skubala about being a PE teacher is childish. Doing a cracking job at Lincoln. 4

lcfcbluearmy Posted 30 January Posted 30 January 21 hours ago, 87fox said: 13:53 Daniel Orme Pearson not on Leicester list Leicester City have not made contact with former boss Nigel Pearson as they continue their search for a new manager. The Foxes are on the lookout for Marti Cifuentes’ replacement after he was sacked earlier this week. Fans have clamoured for the return of ex-manager Pearson but Mirror Football understands that club chiefs have not made contact regarding a second return to the King Power Stadium. Pearson has already enjoyed two productive spells with Leicester, earning promotion from League One and the Championship. He has also worked for the club’s King Power ownership with Belgian side OH Leuven. Pearson has been out of work since leaving Bristol City in October 2023. Andy King is set to take charge of this weekend’s clash with Charlton Athletic. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-man-utd-36633577 Ok time to pick up the campaign for them to contact him and bring him back 1

K League 1 Manager of the Year: 2025 no idea what to make of that , , Greece 2023 / 2024. used to like the guy back in the day , Bordeaux stint was good too to be fair, just called the owner a **** and got sacked Players must have liked him though as they went on strike. Greece stint is pretty much the same as the one the current Greece boss is on and he's been praised (scored a few more goals to be fair) Korea, managing one of the top teams but they had gone 3 seasons without a title having won it 5 times in a row before that. Took 3 years off after Bordeaux and has done well since... before that his record is pretty horrific. 1

AjcW Posted 30 January Posted 30 January (edited) By the way in defence of the PE teacher vibes, I fear we all have PTSD given we're probably about to make a PE teacher our Chief Football Officer or some shite I would love Skubala here though, and bring the Lincoln city DOF with him, their recruitment is unmatched at that level.

moore_94 Posted 30 January Posted 30 January Thiago Motta so we actually have a manager who actually knows how to get some quality out of Kristiansen, then we will actually have at least 1 decent full back (He is definitely unrealistic though) 1

Wouldn't have thought it would be much at all, but agree. Be surprised if they've even heard of him, let alone if they're considering him for the job.
Leicesterpool Posted 30 January Posted 30 January 2 hours ago, kingfox said: Bring him home! Last longer than expected at Morecambe, maybe wrong club at the wrong time. Maybe lower non league would have been better to start someone like a Barwell who will give him the time to build plus I can imagine he'd have a lot of contacts in Leicestershire to bring in some decent players.
