jamesmilner Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 best post ever. i dont make things up or guess , never have .
5waller5 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Firstly I'm not sure you can be 'over-expectant' and 'negative' at the same time. Secondly, I've written many times about the dour, bitter idiosyncrasies of our fans. But in truth we have one of the largest and most vocal away followings in the league, and an average home attendance of 20,000 +. Some have argued that our home crowds lack volume, but our home record is far better than our away record, so clearly that has nothing to do with it. On Friday night, as it happens, the atmosphere was incredible and no-one complained until the game was over, but we still couldn't win the match. Thirdly, is the real reason for 'what should have been a great season' being 'even more unenjoyable' (not sure how that works, but never mind) that the fans were negative when we were doing well? Because I kind of thought it had more to do with the one win in fourteen games when we weren't doing well. If, after a run like that, the worst thing on your mind is how damned ungrateful we all were when things were rosy, then I can understand why you're feeling so upbeat. However, my final point is that, for someone 'positive / trying to generate positivity' I'm not sure your dismissing of our fans as a bunch of 'arseholes' and asserting that 'next year will be exactly the same' is the sort of 'glass half full mentality' that will see us overcome our current turmoils. No, I don't want Pearson out, but those who - in his defence - call the fans a bunch of hopeless arseholes while calling on us to shrug off the second worst run in our history and just, y'know, be grateful seem to be committing a fairly deadly sin of self-contradiction. Our fans aren't perfect. But neither are they to blame for where we are now. Top post again!!!! And yet no rep!!!! This rep system is very flawed .... come on and call people for not loving NP and you get a trillion votes ..... Make a brilliant rational and informed post (i haven't, but you have!!!) and you get nothing!!!!!
Fox92 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 We've previously explored the 'myth' of stability and yes, if you are hired to gain this club promotion, are heavily backed financially to do so and fail then I see no reason why you shouldn't expect to be sacked. We are 8th, only Poyet and MacKay have been in situ longer than Pearson. 3 of the managers above us has been there less than 6 months. I hate the 'heavily backed financially' thing. People make out Pearson is the only manager to have spent money... Did Brighton not spend £3million of a striker last season? Have Cardiff not spent £10million this season? (ok, they are top of the division). Pearson hasn't spent that much compared to other managers/teams, and has had to anyway to get better quality players in (Sven spent a lot without getting quality). Are you suggesting that no-one expected promotion under Sven? Where did I say that?
stockyfox Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 'Football is a funny old game' and after 64 years following Leicester City FC, very little surprises me any more. Of course, I'm delighted when we do well and dejected when results don't go our way. But I have rarely if ever gone down the road clamouring for the manager to be dismissed and there is no way I would support any move to sack our current manager. Friday's 'Draw' (it felt more like a defeat) was totally down to the players on the pitch. It had nothing to do with Nigel Pearson, it had nothing to do with the penalty - which wasn't! - it had nothing to do with the fans, the weather, or anything else you care to name. we should have been four or five up before half time. My 'Man Utd' friends who also follow the fortunes of Leicester because they know I'm Leicester city through and through and because currently there is a real connection between the two clubs anyway, phoned me straight after Schlupp scored and were cheering for the Foxes. After the final whistle, they were almost dejected as me. 'Nugent should be stopped his wages this week said one. Another comment was Leicester are like vampires - they don't like crosses. Whatever, they were totally at a loss to understand as to why we had not won handsomely. It's not easy being a Foxes fan when the the difference between success and failure is the width of a goalpost.

Pearson hasn't spent that much compared to other managers/teams, and has had to anyway to get better quality players in (Sven spent a lot without getting quality). Yes he has. He's spent north of £7m since his arrival. Marshall, Morgan, Wood, Vardy, James, DeLaet all cost £1m (or have add ons equal to) or more. Only Knockaert and Drinkwater didn't. He's spent more than Palace, Hull, Forest, Brighton...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 He won't be happy till its just him and "head boy" Andy king.... ive heard he wants to send his own reflection on loan.. lol

indierich06 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Sven won Serie A but we hated him -i think thats better than winning Division 3 but it seems not I'm not concerned with what Pearson or Sven or any other manager has done in the past - all I'm concerned with is what they've done while they're at our club and let's face it, neither of them have done enough with the resources at their disposal. If Pearson doesn't get us into the playoffs this season, he should probably go but real care should be taken in finding a replacement - we don't want another flashy big name or another old manager back in. We need a good manager, simple as. That should be the only criteria.
indierich06 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 IF we sack Pearson and if Villa go down, we should try and get Paul Lambert if Lerner's daft enough to sack him. The only manager I'd be happy to see replace Pearson at the minute.
Guest Bilo Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 IF we sack Pearson and if Villa go down, we should try and get Paul Lambert if Lerner's daft enough to sack him. The only manager I'd be happy to see replace Pearson at the minute. That's actually not a bad shout at all. He took over a Norwich side near the bottom of League One and took them to the Premiership, keeping them there comfortably, in successive seasons.

The only manager I'd be happy to see replace Pearson at the minute. Good shout Rich although I can't see Lambert being sacked at Villa. He's finally got his young guns firing, to some extent. Even if they get relegated I don't think Lambert will get the chop.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 4 games to go and then we will really see what happens
fleckneymike Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 They wouldn't sack Lambert He applied for the job here after Holloway and we didn't even reply to his application. Not sure he'd apply again after that sort of snub.

Dan Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 One can only assume you never saw Peter Taylor's squad, Martin Allen's incredible squad made up entirely of rightbacks and Mickey Adams' octogenarian side. They all push him all the way, but I think with FFP coming up too, Sven left us in the biggest state of the lot. I don't disagree with the introduction of FFP, but I don't think there's a club other than QPR that will be hit by it more than us.
Corky Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Partly mis-interpreted. I'm not blaming our fans for this plight. I'm just saying a lot of our fans, even when we were doing well were the same whinging group who'd only make a noise if we were winning, and I include our away support in that too, excellent when it gets going but as someone who's been to all bar two away games this year, I'm pretty confident in saying we're vocally nowhere near one of the best, once were, but not anymore. My point was that even if we're hovering around promotion again next season, it's going to be the same doom & gloom we've had all year this year. I stress, I'm not talking about JUST the last 14 games, even before that made me think Jesus Christ our fans won't be happy until we're Champions of Europe. It's not our fans' attitude now that's annoyed me, it's been the collective attitude all year and the fact there were still gloom & doom merchants when we were 2nd. Anyone who denies it happens is kidding themselves. I'm not concerned with what Pearson or Sven or any other manager has done in the past - all I'm concerned with is what they've done while they're at our club and let's face it, neither of them have done enough with the resources at their disposal. If Pearson doesn't get us into the playoffs this season, he should probably go but real care should be taken in finding a replacement - we don't want another flashy big name or another old manager back in. We need a good manager, simple as. That should be the only criteria. Two excellent posts that I fully agree with. As Dan said, there's been a feeling that the fans, even when we were winning and playing well, were not fully behind it all and ready to pounce on any slight mistake. I had a feeling that the good runs were not being enjoyed, which is a shame and will no doubt happen again next season. And indierich sums it up. Sven didn't do it, Pearson isn't doing it, that's all there is to it. Hopefully next season we have the right man in charge and we can forget about what has happened before.

Peter Taylor took a top ten, cup winning side and in 2 years we were in the first division, in administration and well and truly ****ed. He replaced Neil Lennon with JUNIOR ****ING LEWIS, Trevor Benjamin and Ade Akinbiyi to replace Emile Heskey (who left the previous season) AND Stan Collymore. I can only assume you are very young otherwise you have the IQ of a glass of water. This is one of the most idiotic posts I've ever read.
