Walshy5 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Anyone who still defends Pearson is a clueless deluded sentimental twat living on what he achieved in his previous tenure. Its our worst run since the levein era and even the name Levein makes me feel sick! We've won one game in 14 ffs. Managers have been sacked for alot less. We've become a laughing stock and the longer he stays the worse its going to get. SACK THE **** NOW!!!
jock2612 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 I am not and never have been a fan of the way NP seems to handle players esp those who have flair or an ego. The essence of good management is being able to handle people with different characters,in order to realise max benefit for the club,but I think NP is to inflexable in his approach and am unsure just how good CS is as coach. SW is clearly a good scout so my preference at this stage would be to let NP take us into next season with a review at Christmas but I would bring in 1-2 coaches to freshen things up and take him out of his comfort zone. Stability is very important and with the final departure in the summer of players like Gally,Wellens etc and 3-4 new faces( a strong midfield player shoud be a priority) depending on how many we loose i am confident it REALLY could be our year!
Buzzell Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Not sure we should stick with him for first 10 games next season? Just really not sure I can't see him being sacked even if we don't make playoffs. If he was going to be sacked, it would of happened by now. Like I've said, if he's here by next season, give him maybe not 10 games, probably 5 games then, and if nothing changes, then get rid of him and find a replacement. We don't need another season of disapointment.
funkyrobot Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Mark Hughes, Alan Curbishely and Mick McCarthy three candidates that would realistically come here and are significantly better than NP imo. How can you propose Hughes after the shocking mess he left qpr in?? He's also been quoted as wanting a job at the top level. Curbishley hasn't had a job for years. As for McCarthy, he couldn't keep his job at wolves so why would he do any better at city?

We don't need another season of disapointment. I think as others have said its more to do with the quality of any replacements. Stating the obvious but if we got Martin back or somebody with RDMs qualities or similar then you should give them pre season aswell really

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Well if Martin or RDM wanted the job tomorrow I'd push Pearson out the door myself! Yeah good point I know it maybe a long shot but you never know there has got to be someone with quality out there surely?
Buzzell Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Yeah good point I know it maybe a long shot but you never know there has got to be someone with quality out there surely? There's been a few names mentioned on here, the likes of Mark Hughes or even Mick McCarthy. It all depends on who's willing to come here. We have a reputation of sacking managers quite quickly, plus expect instant success. Some managers could be put off by that. I'd love to see Chris Powell here though.

Yeah good shout, love Chrissy P Don't want us to keep sacking managers at all as it does breed the wrong sort of atmosphere However after this seasons debacle . . . . . I'm just not sure NP is the right man for us
seenitall Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 By that logic Sven is better than all of them, after all he's won European competitions and managed at international level. Hughes has never impressed me, i don't feel hes taken a team and really moved them forward. His best time was at Blackburn, after that he's seemed mediocre. I get the feeling if Hughes did come here he'd want to be paid a kings ransom and have a huge spending budget too. I feel safer with Pearson in charge, a man who's only ever made teams better. Except this one and Hull
Dan Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Holloway left us in the wrong ****ing league for crying out loud! We'd never been outside the top two divisions in our entire history and that **** managed to take us down yet somehow he's not as bad as Sven! Martin (Mad Dog) Allen signed more right backs than the rest of the league put together whilst also racking up the biggest pre Sven debt ever so they weren't playing for sweets and pop. HE signed Segio Hellings (RIP), Cassino Jimmy, Hossan Kaebi, Carl Court... McLintock won 1 in 26, that's ONE IN TWENTY SIX! Holloway fvcked up but that was nowhere near entirely his fault. I'm convinced Mandaric's constant tinkering, signing of players (it happens), picking of the team (strong rumours and very much believable coupled with the fact he signed players). Holloway definitely cocked up, no doubt about it, but you can't put the mess that was made entirely down to him. In-fact, a lot did come from Allen that year, and no doubt at all, he left a mess, but you even said it yourself - "pre-Sven". Allen was similar to Sven yet even more unproven, and actually did seem to give a shit. McLintock is way before my time.
sdb Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 I'm still pro Pearson. Don't see any better alternatives, he's clearly not lost the dressing room and we're just very low in belief (and luck) at the moment. Keep this young squad together and we'll be stronger next season. I know what's happening is ridiculously painful to watch, but we've had it much worse. Fighting for a play off place isn't the end of the world.

I'm just not sure NP is the right man for us I'm not sure whether Pearson is the man to get us into the Premier league but I do want him to succeed. If we continue this crap form into next season then change is a must.
Guest Bilo Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Nigel Pearson the worst manager in our history?! Or even close? I've read some utter bullshit on this forum but that takes the biscuit. Ian Holloway - Took us down to the third tier for the first time in 124 years of football. Peter Taylor - Dismantled the most successful Leicester City team for 30 years, spent millions on utter pony like Akinbiyi and left us at the foot of the Premiership just 18 months after finishing 8th and qualifying for Europe. Not to worry though, we were top of the Premiership on goal difference in October for a week. That makes it all OK. Frank McLintock - One win in 26. Record for least goals scored. Record for most conceded. Record for least wins. Record for most defeats. Bottom of the league. David Pleat - Sacked when we were at the foot of Division Two playing some of the worst football seen at Filbert Street amid fan protests to sack the bloke. Gary Megson - Here for six weeks only but Leicester 0-1 Sheffield United remains the worst performance I've ever seen from a Leicester City side. Craig Levein - Had the mitigating circumstance of no many to spend but the football and signings were so utterly diabolical it was ludicrous. Sacked with us in 22nd in the Championship. Would you like me to continue?

Well we all know who the obvious choice is and who's to say we cant get him. If not even McCarthy or Hughes would be better options. How can people continue to defend this clown after such a bad run?!

Corky Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 No but Dan would claim Sven is! I do like Dan's posts but I couldn't agree with him there, Bilo's mentioned several in an earlier post.
gazfox9 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 As for alternative managers.. I absolutely detest the bloke, but I'd actually take Warnock over pearson right now.
Guest Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 As for alternative managers.. I absolutely detest the bloke, but I'd actually take Warnock over pearson right now. The man sacked by Leeds for taking them towards the bottom of the table? Excellent suggestion.

Guest Bilo Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Warnock is the most overrated manager in the English football league system. I don't think I'm even exaggerating by saying that. His teams invariably play awful football, kid referees and are nowhere as effective as you might think. He took years to get promoted with Sheffield United and came straight back down, and spent millions getting QPR promoted. If not for Adel Taarabt, they'd have been an expensive failure.
gazfox9 Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 The man sacked by Leeds for taking them towards the bottom of the table? Excellent suggestion. Yes, over the man who, on current form will take "big spending Leicester city" back into league one.
