indierich06 Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Vardy? Futacs? Maybe not Vardy, but seeing as Futacs was a free transfer, any fee would mean a profit. Vardy's the only bad signing he's made since his return - we would make profit on all the others.

hackneyfox Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Would we? Whitbread, Drinkwater & Marshall have hardly set the world alight. FFP means that the price of players will drop.
chapero82 Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Really do not see the point in sacking him, I honestly believe he will get us in the prem, he will also have learnt from this season
indierich06 Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Would we? Whitbread, Drinkwater & Marshall have hardly set the world alight. FFP means that the price of players will drop. Whitbread was a free transfer, so again, any fee would be a profit. Marshall was rumoured to have signed for £750k and I think we could definitely make a profit on that, although I'm not sure why we'd want to sell him at the minute. Drinkwater was rumoured to have signed for about a million, maybe we could get more from him, maybe not. The point is, we don't have to sell them now. If we sold them about four or five years down the line, who knows how much they might be worth then? Certainly more than they are now.
MikeyT Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Stay. We need stability. Not another manager coming in, changing the playing staff, imprinting another style of play etc. Nigel has got us to the play offs twice and out of League 1 at the first attempt. We've had too many comings and goings in the managers office. Stick with Pearson. Get rid of some of the current crop of players and bring in a 3 or 4 new faces to bolster what we already have and we'll be there again next season in the top. No more changes. Stability is the key.
bob gregory Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Not accurate, futacs wages have been paid I would assume, prob 7-10k per wk x 40 wks = A £280000 - £400000 loss to my mind for maybe 100 ish mins of work..loss loss oh another loss Maybe not Vardy, but seeing as Futacs was a free transfer, any fee would mean a profit. Vardy's the only bad signing he's made since his return - we would make profit on all the others.

5waller5 Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 You think Futacs was on 7-10k? I would guess he was on a decent wedge - allowed to leave for free from a thin squad trying to cut wages. All conjecture though unless anyone actually knows the LCFC payroll.
shiv Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Voted stay, even though I'll be the first to admit I turned against him during our dreadful spell. Credit to him, he managed to get us into the play-offs somehow and we really did almost look like we were at Wembley. I just don't see any names available who I'd want to replace him (bar O'Neill who won't come here). Given FFP, can't see the owners forking out compensation for sacking as well as compensation for someone in a job. We've got a good core squad, we should be building our team around the likes of Kasper, Morgan, King and James. Add a few experienced Championship players and I can see us being a force. I just hope Pearson and the players have learnt from their mistakes this season.

All conjecture though unless anyone actually knows the LCFC payroll. He was picked up on a free transfer as a speculative signing. If he was on any more than 3-4k a week, someone at the club wants shooting.

GloverFox Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Nigel must stay in my opinion .... Why? ... It's all been said before "Stability" ... Plain and simple, let the guy build on the squad he's developed so far with a clear dictate ... Promotion, forget cup runs their just a distraction we don't need at this stage of the clubs future. Build a squad, not just a team that make and press hard in the Premiership ... only with a depth of squad truly committed to each other and with a totally positive attitude will we become what we all want ... and that takes stability right across the Club, including supporters actually supporting and not in-fighting the Club. .... Okay I'm off my soap box now ... Slap me down! Leicester City ... Always!

Add a few experienced Championship players and I can see us being a force. I just hope Pearson and the players have learnt from their mistakes this season. Have we though, just how many new players do we need? First team: Probably a goalie New left back Plenty have moaned about De Laet New Centre Half At least one new midfielder One wide man A striker As for the rest of the squad well it is small and I don't see any game changers on there but we need as a minimum Cover for goalie Cover for left back Centre half 2-3 midfielders wide man 2 strikers There is a lot of rebuilding to do.
Vardinhio Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 We looked so inferior to Watford in that second half I'm struggling to know exactly where we need to improve. I look at our team on paper and I'm happy but the fact is we don't pose as much of a threat as we should.
bob gregory Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Even if it's as low as £4000 it's still £200,000 a yr on a1, 2 or 3 yr contract, so not profit CLEARLY You think Futacs was on 7-10k?

ADK Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Compared to Sven paying a million quid for Michael Johnson to scoff hamburgers all day Futacs looks like a good signing.

bob gregory Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Yeah £500000 nice business but back on planet earth more like a free or nominal fee, maybe £200000 for at best a league 1 striker, but at least he's better than our league 2 striker vardy ,,,value £ fvck all,, maybe £20 a score, for someone who can't So if we sold him for 500k after one year - not beyond the realms of possibility - then we'd make a 300k profit on him.

So what? Like someone else said, it's a ****ing drop in the ocean compared to what we'll lose on more or less every single player that SGE brought to the club. Pearson's signings have cost us next to nothing in the grand scheme of things and 90% of them have been successful.
5waller5 Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Compared to Sven paying a million quid for Michael Johnson to scoff hamburgers all day Futacs looks like a good signing. Both risks that didn't pay off. No manager gets every signing right. If they did they'd be at a bigger club than ours. MJ could have been a spectacularly amazing signing if he had have got fit whilst with us .... he was an awesome player. He didn't, and it looks like a daft risk .... In hindsight. Ditto Futacs ..... risk taken for a covering striker ..... turns out he was garbage. hey ho. A bit like the risk that MON made with Stan Collymore .... and that one came off.
hackneyfox Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Vardy, Futacs, Whitbread have all failed so for 90% to have been a success he'd have had to buy in 30 players. Many still question De Laet, Drinkwater & Marshall, Kane wasn't a permanent signing but was a loan as was Keane who has got worse. So who has been a success? Morgan James Knocky Wood?
deanolegend1989 Posted 13 May 2013 Posted 13 May 2013 Yeah £500000 nice business but back on planet earth more like a free or nominal fee, maybe £200000 for at best a league 1 striker, but at least he's better than our league 2 striker vardy ,,,value £ fvck all,, maybe £20 a score, for someone who can't Didnt fergie sign Veron for 28 mill? hes not good enough a manager either sack him..
