Mark_w Posted 30 June 2012 Share Posted 30 June 2012 Nige can't handle big players - why we'll be staying down till he goes Yeah we need a real high reputation manager like Sven, he did a great job getting us into the play-offs. Not like that rubbish Nigel Pearson bloke, what has he ever done for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like that rubbish Nigel Pearson bloke, what has he ever done for us? Of course Sven could manage big players! Basically by letting them do exactly what they wanted. Allegedly.

Tielemans63 Posted 2 July 2012 Share Posted 2 July 2012 now on the bbc http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18503575 Perhaps things will start moving once this transfer is done. I get the feeling NP wanted rid of Sol and Millsy before bringing in more new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicfox Posted 2 July 2012 Share Posted 2 July 2012 We HAD to get rid of them first. Is that because the board won't give him money to sign new players while he still had them on the books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 2 July 2012 Share Posted 2 July 2012 We HAD to get rid of them first. Do you know this? Or are you surmising? I've wondered myself whether Pearson actually does need to offload before he buys or if he simply just didn't want to keep these players? You sound as though you know that we MUST sell before we buy?

Webbo Posted 2 July 2012 Share Posted 2 July 2012 I'd guess that we've to get rid of these players because of the financial fair play rules. We have to reduce the wages before we sign anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog_4 Posted 2 July 2012 Share Posted 2 July 2012 Nigel doesnt have to sell before he buys! he just didnt rate the players he's got rid off. we've sold thousands of season tickets which brings in £6m,the owners can invest £6m into the club and we have the most sponsorship deals in the championship. We're covered to keep and add if we wanted too. Massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If right then surely this coming season is a season without punishment for failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If right then surely this coming season is a season without punishment for failure? Unless I'm wrong I thought this was the case? I'm pretty convinced that the sale of Big Sol is more about Pearson not rating him as about finances? Same with Peltier.... 350k plus Pelts wages gone is not gonna make much difference surely. These seem like primarily footballing decisions, more than purely financial ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically what you are suggesting is that we keep pumping stupid money in, raising our debts to ever more ridiculous levels, in the hope that we get promoted. If we sign player now they are going to want 3 possibly 4 year contracts. On top of the ridiculous unsustainable wage bill and long contracts we currently have.Why not just accept that we need to cut back a bit and at least start to prepare for what's coming.

Well I don't know it as 100% fact because I'm not Top or Pearson, but it's what I have been told by someone who worked there. Plus i'd say the ridiculous outlay last year and current wage levels would mean it's highly likely, without them even saying it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
