AnotherShitSeason Posted 1 July 2013 Posted 1 July 2013 So, is all this supposed to happen today then? Nothing will happen.
Deucalion Posted 1 July 2013 Posted 1 July 2013 It's been announced in the Pristina Evening Telegraph...according to sources.* * I made up.
Brizzle Fox Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 Back to Richards. ..... Sam Wallace in the Indy today says Richards has joined in a 'consultancy' role (whatever that means) and Colin W 'could' be coming in as manager by end of July. I note that Colin writes (after a fashion) for the same paper so Sam is probaby just acting as his recruitment consultant.....

JohnnyB Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 Why do people even debate with seenitall? He's clearly a wum. Could someone who seriously calls them self a Leicester fan be so incredibly cretinous, negative and flippant about the club they apparently support. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta What is a WUM?
Brizzle Fox Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 No link. Read in paper on train to work. Just a small side bar so probably nothing more than a space filler on a quiet news day.
seenitall Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 What is a WUM? Foxestalk WUM Ordinarily it is what Indierich suggests above, unfortunately on Foxestalk it also means anyone with a dissentlng voice, differing opinion to the majority, lack of belief in Nigel Pearson or the the current (now previous) board (although even though we were critical of it , the owners saw fit to change it as well), criticism of any player signed by Nigel, praise of any player (except Kasper) signed by previous managers, one in particular. Also, anyone qualifying as a Wum (in the revered opinion of the majority) is open to criticism for not entering into debate when proffering a flippant remark but must be comfortable being addressed as anything from a fake fan through to unprintable insults when making a point that the non Wums don't agree with. Can also be substituted for troll and any of the aforementioned insults. Also can be substituted with 'delusions of grandeur' for believing that Leicester City should be a Premier League team despite the size of following, previous history, size of ground (built for the Prem no less) or that Leicester should employ the services of any player on more than third division wages.

Nugent's alright, you can praise Nugent.

Basically, if you post constant crap in order to try and get a response from other posters as he does on a daily basis, there is only so much nonsense you can reply to so now he gets referred to as a WUM.

Aptly displaying your WUM credentials by categorising anybody who doesn't agree with your opinion in one handy bracket. Hypocrite. The more level headed amongst us realise that there's positives and negatives to our current management/playing squad situation. It's about time you grew up and recognised that.

Seenitall is too old to change now. He'll take his views into his afterlife. It's like trying to teach an old dog new tricks.

MC Prussian Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 There is an afterlife? Wow, tell me more. I do hope there is one. There must be more to life than putting up with seenitall.

Dan Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 It isn't that you're wrong (as you're not always wrong), it's just your hypocrisy and constant failure to acknowledge that we really aren't THAT bad.
seenitall Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 It isn't that you're wrong (as you're not always wrong), it's just your hypocrisy and constant failure to acknowledge that we really aren't THAT bad. We finished 6th.....in Division 2. We couldn't even manage to get to Wembley (something we did every time we got into the play offs pre Nige) It's not that bad if you are Millwall, it is that bad if you are Leicester City. In what way can not being happy with this be hypocritical?

In what way can not being happy with this be hypocritical? Hypocrisy in the way you'll constantly belittle people who snob off anything you say, yet you do the exact same whenever anyone dares to back the manager. Hypocrisy in the way you slam a manager who has done better than anyone here since O'Neill, yet defend Sven who left us in a mess not far off Peter Taylor style. We have under-achieved in the past 10 years. That goes without saying. Anyone happy with the last 10 years I agree is supporting the wrong club - I just find it harsh how Pearson often seems to take the flack for how long we've been out the top division whilst he's the only one in that time who's got us anywhere near getting back there. Course I want promotion, and when we go up I don't want to settle for being a bottom half Premier side, I'd like to see us try and emulate Swansea and get into Europe. I just acknowledge it doesn't all happen instantly - especially when you're in the financial mess we're potentially in.

So i want this to be taken as a sensible reply and not a NP hater reply ..... The reason he gets the flack is that he's the manager - the only one that can do anything about it - noone else can. Of that 10 years he's had 4? season finishes now - the time that promotion is either gained or lost ... so 4/10ths of that underperformance is under his stewardship .... OK one season was division one and he did get promoted - so 3/10ths..... When you have three attempts at something and fail each time, plus 1 (or was it 2?) at Hull you can surely see why people are questioning if he can do it?? I hate the pigeon holing and the argumentative nature of this forum ... you either love NP or hate him .... there's no middle ground and you're not a fan if you don't love him .... seems there's a polarisation like you're a capitalist or a socialist .... the fact is most people are neither - they believe something according to their own logic somewhere in-between.

I can see the viewpoint why someone might say last year was a failure even if I don't agree but we can't seriously say the season after we went up that finishing fifth was a failure, from what I remember most were happy with mid table considering what we had available to us. Wasn't our record signing Wellens at that point?

Of those 4, one of them was in League One so literally an impossibility to get us into the Premier. One of them was the first year up and whilst he hasn't got us up, no-one was seriously expecting it were they? We over-achieved that year for me, even if we did fail in the end - and even if Southampton & Norwich have since got consecutive promotions. 2011/12 he had a hard job, but he didn't deliver, although truth be told I'd given up on promotion very early on that year. The year just gone is the worst he's had here for me and the worst thing about it is for so long, it looked like being the best. I fully agree with your last point though. Like I say I back Pearson but he certainly isn't immune to criticism from me - and no-one should be from anything in football.
5waller5 Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 I can see the viewpoint why someone might say last year was a failure even if I don't agree but we can't seriously say the season after we went up that finisging fifth was a failure, from what I remember most were happy with mid table considering what we had available to us. Wasn't our record signing Wellens at that point? I also agree that it would be really harsh of anyone to call that season a failure ...... But if we are talking about the last 10 seasons and that we are underperforming then the big picture is that NP has been the manager for a significant portion of that time. You could easily argue that he's the best we've had during that time .... But it's a being the most successful unsuccessful manager isn't much to write home about!! I'm coming round to the fact that he's going to be the manager next season .... I also can't help having a nagging doubt that it's another season "lost" and that the merry go round will start again 15 games into the season. What i do welcome though is a forum where we can talk about that without insults and without the sneering and name calling that people like seenitall (and me sometimes) put up with for having a different view to the majority.
