Sack him now!

[ealingfox]

Did you copy that from wiki?

Nope, A-Level History (or at least the version I did) does a pretty good job in teaching the distinction between Hitler and Mussolini, but I have to admit I didn't know about the Jewish mistress. As soon as I started seeing the onslaught of simplistic Di Canio = Fascist = Racist = Hitler ignorance it annoyed me, and was glad to see this article in the Spectator blogs.

I can't belive some of the posts I am reading about Di Canio. He is a fascist thug. Nothing more nothing less. I don't want him anywhere near football let alone LCFC. I am extremly disappointed that Sunderland sacked MON and made even more pathetic decision in appointing Di Canio. Lets just see the evidence about Di Canio -

1, Di Canio giving a fascist salute to Lazio fans.

2, He has admitted to the media that he is a fascist but not a racist. (whats the difference)

3, He is known to be involved with the Lazio Ultra gang. This gang are a racist, fascist and antisemitic gang.

4, He was close friends with the late Paolo Signorelli, a leading member of the Italian Social Movement which emerged from members of Mussolini’s Fascist Party.

5, Di Canio attended Paolo Signorelli's funeral three years ago.

6, Di Canio has a tattoo of Mussolini on his back, He praises Mussolini in his autobiography.

7, He has been pictured on at least three other occasions giving fascist salutes.

Well done to the The Durham Miners’ Association.

I would rather see us get relageted then see that fascist saluting Mussolini loving hooligan at our club.

I don't care if he kills babies in his spare time as long as we win a fvcking game!

He has to go,..............pressure!

I know that a dam good many want to see N.P go i must admit i go along with that too ,but im pretty sure he wont be Citys manager next season ,i think hes took us as far as hes capable of doing but whats the rush ,give things a chance to settle down ,i cant see the point in rushing in and not getting what we want in a mamager ,if we go rushing in we are to late this season to turn anything around,and i for one will be there next season no matter what ,UP THE CITY.

Agree

He's such a character, reminds me a little of Mourinho. Hope he succeeds at Sunderland.

He is a nut job, always was and always will be. This will not end well

I've have been a Pearson fan but I would like to him leave now if we can get the right replacement in now. I don't subscribe to the theory that it is the players fault and once they cross the line there is little the manger can do. The managers job is to manage the players - he does this by training them in body and mind with motivation to succeed. Clearly, one, if not both, of those elements is missing. For me the season is well and truly over as even if we fluke promotion we would get battered next season. Leaking goals in the final 10 minutes is ether down to fitness or confidence, I believe it is the latter with us and that stems from the management of the squad (as does the former). We have some very talented layers that are not playing to their best - that again is down to the manager. I think if we got a decent replacement manager now he could assess the players playing real competitive football for the last few games of the season and make his judgements based on 1st team football. If NP goes in the summer (and I believe he is a dead man walking) we will be a further 4-6 weeks behind other clubs in the transfer market and preparartions for the next season. Acting now is not acting in haste but is a better long term strategy. Promotion next season will be better for the long term future of the club and stability.

You can't expect a new bunch of young players to gel, stay confident when the going gets tough, handle pressure, and storm the league in one season. Look at the teams to get promoted the last few years and Cardiff now, they've had pretty much the same squad for 2-4 years before getting promoted, they've grown together and gained experience together and become a stronger and stronger unit because of it. We have an awesome foundation for a team next season with a couple of experienced players thrown in.

Pearson has his faults like ALL managers - his inability to handle bigger name players and have an effective plan B the main ones for me. The Thai owners knew what his style was when they appointed him though so i can't see him getting the sack until next season. He likes to build teams over time with young hungry players like he start at Hull 3 years ago - look at them now with most of his team in there!! We tried the 'buy big names, high wages, but don't give a sh*t attitude high profile' players with Sven but didn't get us anywhere.

Sacking NP will mean a new man coming in, selling 10 players, buying another 10, them not gelling because there's too many changes at once and then calling for his head again when results suffer and so the circus of impatient Leicester fans delaying the success of this club continues.

I agree with a lot of this but I actually find myself disagreeing with the last point. Pearson, Sven & Sousa had such differing styles that there was massive change every time we switched one for another. I think there are plenty of managers who could get a lot from this squad, myself, with a few additions.

It's just who that manager is. If you can't get anyone decent in I'd keep Pearson.

Hey , never said anything is true but the "I will be on the bus to Brighton " was meant to say something . And in truth , no vendetta , how is Pearson still in a job . You pick out his predictions /contacts that's are wrong but look at his good stuff , guessing can never be fact until it happens so some will be off target . Vendetta , I like the man ! Knockys got the vendetta not me !

Look at his good stuff? So in other words, if I went and made a Twitter account, predicted thirty transfers and got 10 right, you'd say "look at his good stuff" despite the fact they're all guesses?

I've heard a lot praise this indykaila including a Sheff Weds mate of mine who actually told me he's the best source he's got, but he's put absolutely nothing that's been of use to me purely because he just strikes me as another Leicester fan who's against Pearson and has the follow count to be able to start rumours about him. Foxblogger's post was quite entertaining.

It is also very educational.

Are you a mighty Red dragons fan in disguise?

[Deucalion]

I'm losing patience with our losing run and Pearson; but then a part of my brain kicks in and reminds me that he has had us top of the table, winning by 6 goals, in the top 6 for the majority of the season, and in with a shout at the playoffs with 4 games to go.

Not too shabby...especially considering he has done this at the same time as moving on highly paid under-achievers, replacing them with cheaper players of similar ability and reducing a massive wage bill to merely far too much.

Maybe he aint too bad !!

His win % in his second spell at lcfc is 41%. At hull it was 36%. His previous lcfc spell was 51%, although a good portion of that was in league 1.

So Pearson is only doing what he does, provides a win % of around 40%. Not good enough for promotion and will land you around 8th or 9th in the league. It's his ceiling, he's never done anything else to prove otherwise.

I couldn't agree more ..... If we had to get rid of sven then we needed a manager with a similar style .... Np was always the wrong choice - he was always going to take an age to dismantle what he already had and then not end up with enough time to assemble his own squad before time ran out.

Are you always THIS negative?

You must be delightful to live with!

I can be a miserable bar-steward granted, but you are serving up page after page of posts which appear to suggest that you dislike everything about the Pearson regime?

We have been shite for the past two/three months but we can STILL get something out of this season?

That's fact, not opinion. We might not, probably not, but it's still possible.

And if we do I would be warmed to feel that you would slink back into that deep and dark hole from whence you came.

There's criticism and then there's this...

You really are something else!
