Takeover Shenanigans

[HonradaRaposa]

Pearson is really setting the heather alight up in Hull isn't he, unbeaten in four and top of the league. Hang on, he is one win ahead of us with a bigger and better squad.

Pearson lost me at the first leg of the play-offs when he showed his true colours, he wasn't the winner we thought.

[Houdini Logic]

Word on the street is that none of the players are happy at the club and don't have faith in Sousa.

Also - the investors are arrogant and don't talk to any players or staff

[ozleicester]

Man buys business and puts own choice in charge.. shock!

[Guest BlueBrett]

The club, as a business, is only as good as it's first team.Thats the product and a bad product no matter how many Japanese international's or ex- champions league winners you get, is what makes this club marketable

Of course it is. What makes these morons think that if clubs like Man United and Liverpool can't make any money in the Far East a club like leicester will sell millions of shirts and captivate the hearts and minds of the entire sub-continent?!

I don't care how much this Top lad fancies Sousa. Unless he's actually going to go over and blow every young man in Thailand who agrees to buy some merch I can't really see how the club will benefit.

I was really angry with Nige. Now im angry on his behalf.

This may be true, but stories of player unrest aren't unique when a manager takes over. We had it ourselves with MON when he had a major bust up with Parker over Neil Lewis and this led to lots of talk of unhappy players.

Bobby Robson tells a similar story when he went to Ipswich and he was forced to get rid of a couple who had no time for him, and Ferguson had several run ins with established Utd players on his arrival there.

Sousa may or may not be a decent manager but he has to be given the chance to do his job.

From my own perspective, I think we've played some decent stuff this year (Palce 1st half and Burnley excepted) and I think we are a proper central defender away from being pretty good.

Footballers always moan when they are either losing or not selected and that goes for all levels (look at England, they all thought Capello was a football genius till they started getting beat and then told their nearest and dearest, often in the press, that he didn't know what he was doing)

[HonradaRaposa]

The players are unhappy, they've got a fecking cheek the amount they get paid.

Perhaps that Sousa and Olivera have had to focus on the basics like you get on a community coaching course has highlighted that some of this lot are indeed lower leaguers who are out of their depth.

Be very careful with these rumours as we are begininng to put very mediocre players on a pedestal and giving them power.

Worried that a couple of our key players will go out on loan in a week or so.

Thats what i am worried about,who will they be

I think alot of the unrest was down to DJ Campbell. A player who came out and said he never wanted to return to Leicester, yet then when things went alittle sour he walked straight back into the team over players that had been performing week in and week out last season. It would of pissed me off no end i know that much.

I also think the players might resent Sousa alittle for the way he got the job in the 1st place, it was all cloak and dagger stuff with as it looks like, things sorted out well before our play-off games.

Hopefully it will all pass when we get our 1st win...

[Shipman Out]

I thought that all of this was common knowledge.

Its all part of the roller coaster ride, im already pissed off with people going on about Pearson, we have to move on. Circumstances meant it wasnt to be. And the circumstances could be a lot worse!

Im fully on board the Sousa bus fully on board i say.

We did have a talk walking out of Burnleys ground about Top though as the realisation dawns that he will appoint the next manager aswell.

Its obvious why outside investers wanted Sousa, plays good football given time money and support and is a WORLDWIDE name.

This my friends is the modern football world.

[Shipman Out]

Or so we were told. That way we question less that a 25yr old Thai with no experience is running our club.

I was told the company name the lot, everything i was told has come true. more investors are and will be coming on board, we should be happy where we are and start getting loud home and away

also on the Birch it wasnt a smokescreen he was let go.

When a supposedly promising up-and-coming manager takes more or less the same squad which Nigel got 2 kicks away from the Premiership to the lower end of mid table mediocrity, then you'll see how much of a 'winner' he was.

There lies one of the reasons Pearson would not have taken us further.

Yann Kermorgant, a player who had no visible ability was confusingly given a long contract by Pearson. Pearson brought him on in the most important game of the clubs recent history and the rest is as it is.

Pearson did well for us, he got us out of League 1 and cemented our place in the Championship but that's as far as he was ever likely to go and i'm pretty sure that he'll go no further with Hull.

Shit logic, shit conclusion.

This is the same manager who had a shaky start to last season and then finished up just shy of the play-offs last season.

Pearson did a great job for us until the Cardiff game, but he failed to get us up, when he got to arguably the biggest game of his managerial career he bottled it and went defensive inviting Cardiff to grab the initiative. Then in Cardiff he should have brought Fratt off at half time as he was blowing out his arse, instead he surrenderd the initiative again.

Successful managers make brave decisions, Martin O'Neill and Brian Little did that here and they took us up, he caved in to his inferiority complex and blew his big chance.

Hull City will not get promoted this season, infact come January if they are not in with a shout of the play-offs Pearson can have a holiday.

Even if your ridiculous argument did have a grain of truth in it, we've swapped Pearson for Sousa. A man who drew 0-0 at home 8 times last season. A man whose team had to score one solitary goal in 90 minutes against fvcking Doncaster Rovers to get a play-off place and bottled it. If we're going on past history he's about as brave as a cup-a-soup, surely by your own logic we would have been better off with Pearson.

You'll have to forgive me again as I don't bow down to medicority. I already said he did a job for us, but he failed to get us up, so he is behind MON, Little and Micky Adams.

I am prepared to give Sousa a chance, he may fail, but so did Pearson.

[James.]

Bloody hell is it shit logic day on here?

Have you ever thought to consider that O'Neill, Little, Adams and Pearson were all working in different environments with different players, at different times, with different owners, etc etc etc?

But yeah Pearson was definitely a failure. Anyone can see that.

just today ?

I'm not sure whether or not this is true, it's pure hearsay. Someone told me that Pearson was out in Braunstone Gate and someone asked him why he left and he said "because the board are w***ers". Not sure why he would still be in Leicester unless he still lived here or came down for what ever reason. Although it could be complete bullshit part of me believes it.

He was the only one who was two divisions away from the top flight when he took over, so was already at a disadvantage compared to the others.

I hope that we've made the right decision come the end of the season, it's a shame that Pearson wasn't given a chance to prove himself to the new owners really.

With a bit of money this season Pearson would have got us up. No doubt in my mind.

He's one of my 3 favourite managers of all time.

In alphabetic order:

MON

Lets face it the reason we lost at home to Cardiff was the Brown episode but for that we would have at least made Wembley . In the play offs how often do teams lose at home and win away they were not up for it at home nothing to do with tactics
