Oadby Fox Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Former Leicester City striker Steve Claridge believes the club's owners have learned from their mistakes and will give manager Nigel Pearson the time to mastermind City's return to the Premier League. http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/story-16535407-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Well if he isn't we are back to square one again ala last season, and our promotion challenge has dwindled to midtable mediocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Don't think he'll have much time as Sven had! Must start off with a bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Let's see how we're all feeling in early Nov shall we? Moaned about the owners for firing Sven in his second season, saying they did not give him enough time and has been sticking the knife in well before the season has started.

Fox92 Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Hope he's right, Claridge knows his stuff. This time last year most of us were saying what's he on about, but he was correct in the end. Got to admit, I have more confidence in Pearson, than I did in Sven. I think, with a new left winger and a back up centre back, we have the quality to push forward. Hopefully this season the defence will be more solid, more of a unit, but I know Pearson will build this, as he did the last time he was here. I hope the owners have the patience, but I hope the fans do as well. I always fear that if we don't beat Peterborough, some of the Pearson-doubters will start. But you only have to look at Reading last season; they won one game in their first month and that was against us I'm fully behind Nigel Pearson and the players, I know he can get this right. Let's see how we're all feeling in early Nov shall we? Looking at most of your posts, it's like your willing him to fail?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 I hope so. Barring a Sousa-like start, he should be given more than two/three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asherz Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 Could someone please explain why some people support leicester but not the manager... Is it because we now have money you expect us to buy the league it was tried and we failed i bet the people who want that were the sven fan boys. Dont matter who the manager is or who the players are support the team and stop being so fickle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 I think he will as a chap at work, who reckons he has got big contacts at City, reckons we're skint and wouldn't necessarily be that quick to dismiss due to compensation etc. I personally think City do have the money however...

I wouldn't say we are skint? But it is more to do with cost cutting exercise and FFP coming in as getting the high earners of the books means i.e if we don't go up this season to come we aren't going to be hit with point deductions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deucalion Posted 14 July 2012 Share Posted 14 July 2012 It's true about Claridge, he got on my nerves with what seemed like constant negativity but over time it seems he got it spot on. Sousa was making mistakes from the off and Sven spent a lot of money on a mediocre team. I don't think Pearson has obviously done anything wrong and he also probably hasn't bigged up what he is going to do to Top, he has probably been more realistic. I think Sven probably vastly underestimated the Championship. So I expect him to have more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skint? Spending £1m on a conference striker is hardly skint. Cutting back ridiculous over spends yes, skint, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at most of your posts, it's like your willing him to fail?! Yes, him failing would make me so happy, I am always on a high when Leicester are doing badly. On the other hand, suspecting that his dismal record over the past 2 seasons is a sign that he rode his luck in his previous spell here and has lost some of that sparkle - his close season pulling power so far has suggested he can punch his weight against mid table Championship teams and his performance as a manager in the league back this up - is not willing him to fail - quite the opposite, I am willing him to perform miracles, and every naff decision he makes means he is more likely to have to do this than if he was making good ones - plus it appears he can't count and that worries me as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read this again - £1m on a non league Shef Weds reject and ridiculous overspends do seem to be very similar things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
