Basingstoke Fox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Is pearson fooking you up the arse on a regular basis or what? Wait what? He has? I didn't realise that. I've been backing the manager for all this time and I didn't realise that THAT was the reason why. I've failed to see past that and realise that we should sack him and go through yet more upheaval. Thanks for putting it all into clear context for me. PEARSON OUT!
cc_star Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Levein 1 in 15 Don't know whether the owners see reduction in wage bill, focus on young players as increasing importance - or whether it really is promotion at all costs. Problem the owners have is... No one any good will come & be the 5th manager in 3 years - we'd be choosing from a pool of forever sacked managers. I'm certain they wanted Adkins who favoured Reading for obvious reasons but outside of that it seems O'Neill or no one. And depending on your point of view NP's job is potentially only half done with super high earners like Beckford, Konchesky, Danny, Wellens, Gally etc still to make way & the nucleus of young side needing adding to Of course that PoV would be easy if the results were better in the process
Jugsi Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 18 months, his squad and lots of money spent. He buys the players and picks the team. Who will Cardiff credit their promotion to in a few years, in fact who's the god of our golden era, the buck stops with Pearson, not the players. I'm speechless at our form, it reminds me of a poor mans under 10s side. PEARSON OUT.
Happy Fox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 No other manager will give us a better chance of getting us promoted next season in my opinion. I disagree there are better managers who will get us promotion than NP, but I am not going to slate you for your opinion we will just agree to disagree
Jugsi Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 I'd have ripped your arm off for McDermott. Money talks, we can get someone better in than Nige, it's not just the results, performances tactics, substitutions the list is endless. How can you send shite out on loan and then consider them part of your first team plans ala Wellens and Galla. I've lost all faith in Pearson and by the looks of it so have the squad.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 This club is rotten, much like my foreskin
leicesterisme Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 I disagree there are better managers who will get us promotion than NP, but I am not going to slate you for your opinion we will just agree to disagree Who?
Happy Fox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Who? MON, Di Matteo, Curbishely, Coyle and Hughes- best of the free managerial agents available Mick McCarthy, Neil Lennon- in a job currently but think they could be attracted to the City job,
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Yet again we see Nigel making changes at the wrong time. At Brighton we go 1-0 up and yet he still brings Wood & Kane on just because they were stripped and ready. Tactics have to change when you go 1-0 away from home against a good side like Brighton, yet he didn't alter anything. Then last night, we were under the kosh for 15-20 minutes after half time and he does nothing. There wasn't one Leicester player warming up until it was too late and Birmingham had scored. He just seems to wait and wait as we come under more and more pressure. I sympathise with Nuge last night, but it just makes little sense to me when we're hanging on at 2-1 in the last few minutes when Nugent and Schlupp had run themselves into the ground, and we Knockaert, Marshall, Vardy who could have come on just to give us some extra running in the last 5. It was an accident waiting to happen. I've defended Pearson for so long, but last night was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 MON, Di Matteo, Curbishely, Coyle and Hughes- best of the free managerial agents available Mick McCarthy, Neil Lennon- in a job currently but think they could be attracted to the City job, MON and Di Matteo? bore off. Curbishely? No thanks Coyle? The one that got sacked after doing awful at Bolton.. Mark Hughes? hahahahahaha! Neil Lennon, no thanks..
Dan the fox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Chris Powell cheap and got respect every were he been
Happy Fox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Chris Powell cheap and got respect every were he been He is not really proven at this level and would be another gamble which we cannot afford, we need someone ideally that can get teams promotion from this level and is competent at the prem level as well.
inckley fox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 If impatient fans had got their way in previous years, we'd have got rid of O'Neil... just saying, give the manager more time. At eighteen months he's had more time than Taylor, Bassett, Levein, Kelly, Allen, Megson, Holloway and Sousa. Should they have been given more time? Eighteen months into O'Neill's reign he was already our best manager in over three decades. It's a shaky comparison to say the least. He has had long enough. I've just watched last night's game again and, in truth, it's not very good. The only difference between last month and this month is that we're trying and, frankly, that should be a given. It's very, very hard now to argue for him to stay beyond May.

Yes he has had more time, but this is what I don't understand; Why do people think a new manager would have a better chance after 1 season than if Pearson was to get next season? As that list you posted shows, we have tried the 'sack the manager asap' game over and over and over and fvcking over.. and it has never worked and never will. People are just frustrated at our plummet this season (as am I) and are just directing all their anger at Pearson - the best manager we have had in 10 years. If we were to start next season poorly then perhaps it would be time to change. A lot of our fans would be calling for Mourinho's head if he didn't get us to top of the league within 10 games. I've never been so disallusioned with the other fans at the club, we're supposed to be united but right now I hate so many posters on the forum for the constant negatvity - it's doing my head in.
inckley fox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 MON and Di Matteo? bore off. Curbishely? No thanks Coyle? The one that got sacked after doing awful at Bolton.. Mark Hughes? hahahahahaha! Neil Lennon, no thanks.. Lennon - untested in this league, but to my mind most of the league winning managers in Scotland have enjoyed some success in the UK (Smith kept Everton up, O'Neill took us up, McLeish took Birmingham up, Souness took Blackburn up and kept them up) so, considering he also had a good run in the Champions League which none of the others did, and he has some familiarity with this league, it's hard to write him off Hughes - a respected Premier League manager at Fulham and Blackburn O'Neill - unlikely to get a Premier League job and has stated his intention to return to football soon. Not as unlikely as last time around and would be, obviously, a great appointment seeing as he's the best manager in our history, and won promotion with us from this league. Di Matteo / Coyle - the ones that won promotion from this league at West Brom and Burnley. Curbishley - the one that won promotion twice at Charlton, and spent years as manager of an established, respected Premier League side with them and West Ham. If this calibre of manager isn't good enough for you then you must be especially fed up having Pearson as boss, with his single League One promotion, nothing in four years of trying at this level and complete absence of experience in the PL. Who, out of curiosity, would be good enough?
LJS Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 We have fewer points now than at the same stage last season. He has spent more than £10m and had eighteen months in charge. He just isn't good enough, I'm afraid.
ealingfox Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 If NP has to go, Mick McCarthy is our best shout I think. Anyone got any thoughts on how likely he'd be to be interested? Uwe Rosler? Done a good job at Brentford and has diverse experience in the game. Promising managerial career.
Corky Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 If NP has to go, Mick McCarthy is our best shout I think. Anyone got any thoughts on how likely he'd be to be interested? Ipswich don't score many goals though, which will upset the footballing purists on here. Plenty of 1-0s and 0-0s. But he does some good interviews, and you could have a pint with him, so it's all fine, because that's what matters to the RL phone-in mob. I actually don't think he would be a bad choice, but people have complained about the style under Pearson and would it improve under Mick?

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 I know Lennon is an ex-city hero, but can't believe people are even pinpointing him as a potential replacement, considering that he is manager of arguably one of the biggest clubs in Europe; however of course they can never reach the Premier League and he may want a new challenge. Just not us I'd have thought.
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Yet again we see Nigel making changes at the wrong time.

It was an accident waiting to happen. I've defended Pearson for so long, but last night was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Seems to me he's dammed if he does & dammed if he doesn't. So if he'd have subbed nugent last night for vardy, and vardy makes a stupid mistake and fouls someone in the box and concedes a last min penalty (like that would ever happen) then I guess NP would have been given grief for that too. I dunno what I'd do right now with the situation we ae in, maybe I'd look to get in MON, but failing that or possibly RDM, I'd probably stick with NP and hope that continuity would provide the right results looking towards next season.

I've never been so disallusioned with the other fans at the club, we're supposed to be united but right now I hate so many posters on the forum for the constant negatvity - it's doing my head in. This 'best manager in ten years' business is really getting on my nerves now. He's been in charge for three and a half of them and, based on our current run, is our second worst manager at this level in over sixty years. If we don't get promoted and he leaves at the advent of FFP, having just blown a 10m budget, then believe me he will not go down as anything like our best manager in the eight and a half years since Micky Adams (our last manager to make the PL, and on a shoestring), let alone anything before that point. This 'best manager' in ten years line is just strange. I mean, ten years ago we were half-way through Adams' reign, before that (eleven years ago) it was Bassett, before him (twelve years ago) Taylor. What actually happened ten years ago? And 'our fans would call for Mourinho's head if he weren't top of the league after ten games'? Seriously? Pearson has had eighteen months and seventy plus games in charge and over the past five months we've been in the bottom half of the form league. The majority of our fans backed him despite his failure to mount a serious promotion challenge in over half a season in charge, with a squad full of big names, just like the majority of fans backed Sven under similar circumstances. I remember being surprised to see fans so tolerant of Levein, Kelly and Holloway when it was clear that we were heading for disaster with them. We aren't as impatient as you might think. Look for a moment at the managers we have got rid of early on and decide for yourself, based on the overall picture of their careers, whether we should have held on: Sousa - sacked by QPR, finished 7th in this league with Swansea, took over the Hungarian champions Videoton and failed to win anything in two seasons apart from a League Cup, and is currently out of work. Allen - Has a relegation to League Two under his belt and a sacking for racially insulting a doorman, but has never managed again at this level. Currently doing a decent job in League Two. Megson - Fired by Bolton when they looked to be heading for Premier League relegation, then fired by Sheffield Wednesday in League One when their promotion challenge appeared to be falling apart. Kelly - Has never managed again. Or before for that matter. Levein - Has never managed in England again. Did get fired as Scotland manager after failing to qualify. Sven - Was a successful manager in the Swedish, Portuguese and Italian leagues in the 80s and 90s. No success in a decade before joining Leicester, hasn't returned to management since. Holloway - The pick of the bunch. Currently doing very well with Freedman's side at Palace. Won a promotion, then got relegated and failed to bounce back with Blackpool. In addition to that relegation he was fired before Bristol Rovers' relegation to League Two and got QPR relegated to League One for the first time in their history. And, of course, he got us relegated to the third tier for the first time in our history too. On top of that look where the most successful periods in our recent history have come - after McGhee's twelve month stint, Bassett's eight month stint and Holloway's six month stint. In other words, losing managers early on in their reigns hasn't prohibited their successors from doing well at Leicester. So I don't really understand any aspect of your argument whatsoever!
