Crawling back out?? Or saying the same that they've said all along - but it hurts more now because you know it's true?

lol are you actually being serious right now?

Firstly, the name 'Sven' was barely mentioned between October and this last few days. So yeh, they have just crawled back out. Case and point - seenitall hasn't been sighted on here for months. I expect to see Dangerous Tiger back if we don't win tomorrow.

If you seriously think we were better off with Sven you can actually just fvck off. It's not something that even deserves a debate.

Hmmm ... I'd say the same about this post as you did about seenitall's ...... You've been quite readable lately .... and then back to "please give me rep points" rubbish!

If you think this about rep points (you think I give a flying Fook about rep points? lol) then you're a bigger twit than even I thought.

:thumbup:

Fookin rep points... Get a life son

lol

I don't think he is under any immediate pressure from the owners anyway, the dip in form will be a major concern obviously for them however, what Nigel has done behind the scenes by working towards easing the excessive financial weight attached to the club upon his arrival will only strengthen the trust between the owners and Nigel himself.

It's easy to strip the wage bill and it all go horribly wrong. Nigel has managed to ease the financial burden and and has kept us a genuine promotion candidate. In my humble opinion, that has been achieved thus far.

58 points from the last 36 games is a much fairer way of looking at it. And when you're discussing the future of the manager, it's also a much more sensible way of looking at things.

It is a much more sensible way of looking at things, it means we're 14 points short of the magical 2 points per game.

It's always been my view that Sven would've turned around a poor run and we'd be promoted. It's always been my view that NP is nothing more than an average championship manager that may get us promoted eventually but will never have the tactical nouse to keep his job in the premier league beyond a dozen games. I've never changed that view ... I've enjoyed seeing us play some delightful stuff at times under NP, and he nearly had me convinced that he had what it takes during that lovely spell .... but a manager needs to be able to manage during a game and turn games that aren't going well. Sadly that's not proving the case.

I can understand your frustration at loving NP and seeing it all fall apart .... but don't take that out on the people that could see it coming when he was sadly recruited for the second time .... He should never have come back.

I'm stating my view - you don't have to debate it. You don't have to tell me to F off because you don't agree.

Like Nige says "if you don't like it don't bother".

I don't have a problem with Pearson. Sure, he has his faults, he's a stubborn individual, but don't we all? And he's made mistakes, Huddersfield in the cup being his most blatant for me, but again, who doesn't?

Taking the club forward, I think he can be credited with getting rid of some dross, recruiting some decent players. Not all of them will come off, but look at some of Fergie's signings Djemba Djemba, Bebe etc?! He also has to be credited with culturing a potentially very lucrative relationship with Man United, I think we all agree we're more than happy to have Drinkwater and De Laet at the club? James okay too and Keane has potential. All good Championship players though.

For me, we stick with him, support him and the team. Making the playoffs is a realistic achievement, and if we do make them, it's an achievement. Wolves would have been hoping for something similar this season, and look at them!

I stopped reading after this.

how can anyone say getting rid of him now is a good thing?

No-one knows whether it would be a good thing or not and couldn't hazard a worthwhile guess without knowing who was to be his replacement.

Change might carry the risk of a further negative downturn although the current reaction of the players once they get on the pitch could hardly be mistaken for a team fighting with every sinew for their manager's future.

And, in contrast, the right change might prove so refreshing that results pick up straight away and the club starts playing with the free-flowing, attacking intent that once took us to the top of the table and has sometimes thrilled us so much.

But there's the rub. Will we get that approach from a new manager or someone as naturally cautious as Pearson?. Cos if it's the latter then I see absolutely no point in change. Either we get a guy who believes in attack and who gets coaches who can maximise that policy or we take our time and build more steadily under Pearson.

The irony is that Pearson's already assembled a capable team but doesn't seem to able to get the best from them consistently. Instead he presides over demonstrably capable players who too often become shadows of their best selves...Gradel, Knockaert, Marshall, Vardy, Wood, Schlupp, Futacs, Beckford, Danns and doubtless one or two more if I had the whole squad of Pearson-era personnel in front of me.

Is it mere coincidence or is there a reason? Could it be that he asks too much of them all and, in seeking to make them more versatile, negates the things they do well?

Or does he adopt a system to suit his preferences rather than the system or systems that properly suit his players? I don't know for certain - and there may be entirely different reasons - but I'd definitely be worried about it.

Every manager finds the odd player who can't gel with them - imagine me trying to manage Babs or Finnegan lol - but nine or 10 such people? I'd not be happy and would have to look at m yself first for the reasons.

acknowledgement of a rescue from bottom of the table to play off challengers in first season

The team he took over were in the play offs the year before, and he spent a fortune on the like of Naughton and Yakubu... it's hardly a miracle is it? He was sacked too quickly, I've never said anything different on this. You bigging up his achievements and then running down what others do ie Pearson really doesn't help your case.

As for our best players are the ones he signed. A left back half the people on here seemingly pin point as our defensive weak link, a centre back who never plays, a half decent keeper and a striker lower in the league scoring charts than Wood is hardly something worth celebrating on an outlay of £30m.

What are you on ? Are you saying these are all top class proven players ? 6 of them are not even proven at this level and one has PL experience

And as for the rest of it you are saying he got a good set of players playing well and decided that what he was doing was wrong so he changed it all, give it a rest, opinionated rubbish.
