Stevosevic Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Well done Nige, but this one is going to Di Matteo.
eye666 Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Well done Nige, but this one is going to Di Matteo. Hope it does go to Di Matteo and they get the curse of the MOTM award.
Zingari Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 can't see the point of manager of the month surely a manager can only be judged over a longer period , it should be changed to team of the month
C-man Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Nige has done well to turn our bad patch round with some great results. Di Matteo deserves it though, no doubt about that!
morris1234 Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 what about stockports manager, theyve been playing some great stuff recently! not even nominated! oh well, well done nige, but yep this is di matteo's. andy king or fryatt for player of the month! but i bet king wont even get nominated!
Fox92 Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Well done Nigel, but I hope it goes to someone else due to the curse of it. Last time he got it, we had an early kick off
JakeShingler Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Well done Nige but your not going to win it the way MK Dons are going.
The Stig Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Well done Nige. The Nigeometer shall have to go up. But it will go down if you win. We don't want the curse.
Mickey O'Neil Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Well done Nigel (& Shakey) but tell 'em to shove it. This has MakaDons written all over it.
Corky Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 Please Kamara, give it to someone else. Di Matteo, Darren Ferguson, Martin Allen if you have to, just not Nigel Pearson.
morris1234 Posted 1 December 2008 Posted 1 December 2008 NP could win it actually. we had some hard games and did you see who mk dons had, hereford, walsall,hartlepool, tranmere. not easy games but bristol rovers, swindon, s****horpe, crewe and yeovil are a bit harder wouldnt you say (1 more game aswell). thats not including cup games, i know cup games dont count towards this but weve played extra games which has its effects. it will probs go to di matteo because of how far they have climbed though.
carterfox90 Posted 2 December 2008 Posted 2 December 2008 hope di matteo gets it & the sh#t that comes with it let pearson carry on in his quite unique style of getting results
JoeyB Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 He's won it: Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has today been crowned Coca Cola League One Manager of the Month for August.The Foxes boss, who took over the post at the Walkers Stadium in June, has impressively steered his new side to three league victories and one draw since taking over the reins at the club. And if you included his side's Carling Cup fixtures, Leicester scored an impressing 12 goals and conceded just four during the month in question. But Pearson, whose squad are without a game this weekend due to international call-ups, was quick to deflect the praise away from himself when he was presented with the award on Thursday afternoon. Article continues Advertisement He said: "As far as I am concerned this is an award for everyone involved at Leicester City. Since I arrived I have had fantastic support from Milan, Lee Hoos (chief executive) and everyone else right the way through the club. "I am delighted to have the staff that I have got. They bring expertise and also a lot of dedication as well. It really is a collective effort. "It's nice to be recognised, but it's certainly not about one person. It's about a concerted team effort. "The players' application has been first rate and on top of that as well the fans have played their part. "I am not one to get carried away with things. It is certainly nice, but I would like to think it is recognition of a concerted team effort right the way through the club. "We now have to be very mindful that we don't become complacent. We have had a pretty solid start, although I am sure that throughout the course of the season we will come up against other situations that we have to deal with. But I am very confident that we can do that because of the calibre of people involved with the club." Pearson becomes the first City manager to secure the award since Rob Kelly was named Championship Manager of the Month for March in 2006. Link O.S.
James. Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 He's won it: Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has today been crowned Coca Cola League One Manager of the Month for August. AUGUST. AUGUST.
Corky Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 He's won it: Very good Joey I presume it was a joke
JoeyB Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 Very good Joey I presume it was a joke yeah it was. poor one tho haha. Realized as soon as i posted it, it said August and couldn't be arsed to change it
Suffolk_fox Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 can't see the point of manager of the month surely a manager can only be judged over a longer period , it should be changed to team of the month I dunno, managers can have an instant effect - Harry Redknapp at Spurs for example.
Zingari Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 I dunno, managers can have an instant effect - Harry Redknapp at Spurs for example. true , but much of this isn't down to the manager . managers themselves often complain that they are not given enough time to turn the fortunes of a team around and often ( quite rightly imo ) ask to be judged over 1 or 2 seasons , so how can it be reasonable to judge them month by month . whereas i believe a team's performance in that time can be judged more fairly just an opinion though
PoshDrummerAdam Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 Pearson or Di Matteo to win the award for this month imo.
Koke Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 If there is any justice in the world, Di Matteo will win this.
PoshDrummerAdam Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 If there is any justice in the world, Di Matteo will win this. Lets hope the curse works then and MK Dons lose there next 4games!
