Hull refuse us permission to approach Pearson

[seenitall]

I will stick up for anyone who has idiotic things thrown at them by morons. You said they sacked Pearson, they didn't. You said he left because of them, well it looks as though he wants to come back to work for the same people you claim he left because of... does that not strike you as odd?

As for appointing a manager. Nobody knows what process has gone on, then don't know who has been advised, contacted, spoken to (on or off the record), interviewed etc. So to claim they don't know what they are doing, and basically insinuating they have sat about twiddling their thumbs for two weeks and then decided to go for an old manager is complete and utter guess work.

If you want to complain about things that are fact, you can go right ahead. But if you are going to start spouting made up shite about anyone, whether it's the owners, manager, players etc then you will get challenged on it. And I will point out that you don't actually have a clue what you are talking about.

I think any so called fan that is dismissing the return of NP is a total cretin and forgets anything positive that has happened before the current farce started.

BEST WIN RATIO - A better squad than he had when he was here last, he will bring commitment and settle everything down.

This defence will be so solid under NP guidance, I think some players have just lost a little belief after all the pre season hype (which was far too much!) and I think it would be a very good appointment, after all we were better with him than without him and he never wanted to go - rightly so that twat Hoos left instead.

MOST FANS THAT ****ING CRIED WHEN HE LEFT ARE PROBABLY NOW THE ONES WHO WILL CRY WHEN HE COMES BACK BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE GOING TO ALEX FERGUSSON OR JOSE MORINHO (IDIOTS THE LOT OF YOU)

I HATE THE VAST AMOUNT OF IDIOTIC, FIKKLE, MORONIC TWATS THAT SADLY SUPPORT THE SAME CLUB AS ME.

Prove them wrong Nige, dick heads!

I agree with Babylon on this one, Pearson did a great job for Leicester and your argument's are so biased and at time's childish they are ammusing

[BIEREDeLuxe]

I don't get it either, we were solid and maybe not spectacular, but often we created a shed load of chances in many games. The main moan on here at the time was about the strikers who couldn't finish their dinner let alone a chance on goal.

You have absolutely no idea what has been going on though do you. So, in reality the clueless people are you and me, and everyone else not involved in the process.

It's not rocket science, is it? The FACT we ALL KNOW is that it's taken them almost TWO WEEKS not to actually APPOINT the new manager but to actually ASK PERMISSION to speak to him!! Even you with your obvious bias would surely find that hard to excuse. He clearly was never in the running originally or they would have asked for permission to speak to him 2 weeks ago. Yes? So my summing up is they are clueless. And that's not to say NP won't do a decent job, I think he will, btw. But he's clearly far from their first choice...probably wasn't in their top 20 at the start of the process. Probably never heard of him.

What I find astounding is that our fans view the 5th place finish in the Championship as a failure and we were expected to get promotion that season. Just because we now have money and promotion is EXPECTED is clouding some of our fans memories of Pearson's achievements here. He got us in to 5th with a squad of players that had helped relegate us to League One and then get us promotion, but had no pedigree of challenging for promotion in the Championship. There's no reason he couldn't get us challenging for promotion with a far better squad and a much bigger transfer budget.

Fans expectations have gone through the roof in the past season and this is why we get the yo-yo of elation and pain after each win and defeat. Our fans as a collective are an embarrassment and I wish I had the ability to walk away, you sicken me.

I think you'd probably find that if the vast majority of teams had spent the money we have this season and had the past few seasons we have had to experience (league one, managerial merry-go-round) then they would be the same. Peoples expectations have gone through the roof but I dont think this is something that would just happen at our club.

Having said that I completely agree that Pearson was fantastic for us and anyone that think we're too big for him or his football was boring is just being stupid.

Oh my goodness. Right ok, i'll start at the beginning.

More often than not the appointment of a manger can take quite a number of weeks. It is far more unusual for a manager to turn up with a day or two of the previous one leaving. Portsmouth have been manager less for longer than us and have yet to appoint anyone, as an example.

Even you with your obvious bias would surely find that hard to excuse.

There is no bias towards anyone and here is no need to excuse anything because what they are doing is quite normal in the world of football. Unfortunately we have a fan base he seems to expect everything instantly.

He clearly was never in the running originally or they would have asked for permission to speak to him 2 weeks ago. Yes?

Errrrr you don't know any of that, you are guessing. Maybe we had a list of 10 people that interested us, some in work some out of work. You don't know who has been interviewed, how many, when, who has maybe turned it down, whether off the record talks happened with Pearson to gauge interest etc etc.

Just because YOU don't know what's going on, doesn't mean something isn't going on.

[mancunianfox]

Anyone else find it ironic that everyone was jizzing themselves over O’Neill a few days ago but don’t want Pearson because of allegedly ‘negative’ football. Are their styles really that different???

For the record I would be happy with either…a Leicester team without a solid defence feels wrong to me.

You should consider anger management .... or simply not posting?

For all we actually know and we rely on rumour and even worst, paper talk, we could have been waiting to hear from poeple we have offered the job too and they either have kept us waiting or turned us down after mulling thing's over.

Maybe they have asked Hull for permission to not only see if they can talk to Pearson but to force other's to make a decision

[wurmer]

After watching that shit yesterday, and the Millwall game, anyone who thinks he cannot do a job for us is fvking mad.

[Filberts Treat]

Babylon, stop trying to talk sense to someone who's got a French sounding tag. He clearly isn't getting it pal. Fact!!!!

Guessing?? Like I said, there is the fact that it's taken them 2 weeks to ask for permission to speak to NP, let alone appoint him! Are you seriously asking people to believe he was in the board's thoughts as a replacement for Sven 2 week ago? He clearly wasn't in the reckoning, they've cocked up in their search for a 'name' so have fallen back on the easy option of a previous manager. Didn't your mate Top state they were looking for a 'name'? For all his attributes as a lower league manager, is NP a 'name'?

[Babylon]

Been thinking the same myself.

We were in the top 10 regularly, winning cups and in Europe... but we still had miserable bleeders who needed something to moan about. Moaning about the style of play, long balls, too aggressive etc etc.

It's the way of the world I'm afraid.

[fosseman]

What's Mark McGhee doing these days?

[marbelladave]

My normal, gut reaction in these situations is 'don't go back', it never 'feels' right to me......

No logic, no justification, just the way I feel, in fact I was even fairly lukewarm on the return of MON, much as I like him as a manager. However I can see the attraction in the return of NFP, his strong organisational ability and no nonsense approach is exactly what the squad needs at this time though I would rather this came from someone else, even Billy Davis for example.

No baggage, no old issues to cloud the judgement, a fresh start for everyone.

In some ways I am actually sad that I feel this way as I really, really like NFP as a manager despite his limitations. One thing I really like about him is that he does not stand for any nonsense, for that reason I think he is quite likely to tell Top (or whoever) to take a hike if he is approached,

[Bellend Sebastian]

You lot may be really cross but none of you are as cross as the lad in our office who only found out this morning that Sven has been sacked.

He's not one for being at the beating heart of current affairs, but this is surprising even by his standards

[BIEREDeLuxe]

Babylon, stop trying to talk sense to someone who's got a French sounding tag. He clearly isn't getting it pal. Fact!!!!

Sooooo....make me 'get it' with a proper, considered response to my accusations as opposed to going down the lame route of ignoring them and instead having a go at me because I have a 'French sounding tag'??

PS It's a French lager sold at Asda. Something else you are clueless about.

Your not far wrong there mate , we played some decent football under both managers but they do both have reputations for hard working / hard to beat teams rather than attacking flair

Yes you are guessing read the words you have just written. It has taken two weeks to decide who they want to appoint, that's a fact congratulations. The rest of it is a figment of your imagination. You have no proof as to what has gone on. You don't know if he was 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 24th on the list of managers.

No "my mate" never said anything of the sort. That's another one of your little made up things I'm afraid. You have an over active imagination or your mummy has let you eat too many blue smarties.

Wow, so one poster attacks me for having a 'French sounding username' and now you suggest my 'mummy has let me eat too many blue smarties' . Way to go. Just beyond pathetic TBH. No wonder LCFC are in the position they are in with deluded souls like you 2 as fans. Beyond help. Bye.

Oh, so it's absolutely fine for you to suggest I'm "Tops Mate" because my opinion differs. Yet I suggest you're on too many blue smarties and you throw your dummy out of the pram. If you are going to give it out, expect to get it back in return.

As for being deluded, coming from the man who's arguments are based entirely on guess work I think that's pretty funny.
