MC Prussian Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Dishing out insults??? "Mrs Pearson" = Attempt at a bit of light hearted banter. Not an insult. But I'll apologise again if you found it so offensive. I AM MRS. PEARSON!!!

5waller5 Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Arrrrgh the old it's only "banter" response. Grow up. Arrrghhh ... the old "Oh yeah, he didn't insult me, just called me Mrs Pearson and I've thrown my dollies from the pram" response. Grow up.
Babylon Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Arrrghhh ... the old "Oh yeah, he didn't insult me, just called me Mrs Pearson and I've thrown my dollies from the pram" response. Grow up. Well it is an insult, because you were once again trying to belittle someones opinion by suggesting that their opinion is skewed. Lets not forget that you were actually spectacularly wrong as you didn't even know what players we had in league one. How about next time you try debating without name calling? Everyone can lose it every now and again and take shots at people I'm no saint, but there was no need for it there. The same goes for anyone abusing you.
Leicester_Numan Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Sod it, let's just sack Pearson and pay him his compensation. At the best, we're sailing very close to the wind regarding FFP so it's likely to put us over. So how do we pay this compensation? By doing the only thing we can and cashing in on one of our saleable assets i.e Kasper, Wes or Nugent. But, we have ourselves a new manager, all our problems are over. Except they're not, we'll just have a new manager in the same position as the old one, both hands tied behind his back, unable to bring new players in and minus one of our better players. Well congratulations Leicester fans, you'll have shot yourselves in the foot again and deserved everything you got. The time for change if necessary is next season when his contract runs out, not now. So you have a choice, accept the position we're in and unite behind the team like we did under Adams or moan, whine, boo and throw insults like children and have a crap season. It's your choice, I know what I'll be doing
thlcfc93 Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 All I'll say is, Pearson has had 3 full seasons at this club. He won League 1 (which wasn't as easy as people make out) and has twice been one penalty kick away from the playoff final. Is that really a record of a bad manager??? If anyone says yes to that question, you're not even worth arguing with.All it took is that one bit of luck in either of those games and who knows what would have happened? He might not be perfect (what Championship level manager is?) but you know we'll always be up there challenging under him, I can't think of any other manager who we could realistically acquire right now who would do any better.All it takes is one bad appointment to replace him and who knows where we'll end up? For those who don't like him - better the 'devil' you know. Look at the atrocious appointments Wolves have made and where they've ended up after sacking McCarthy.

And I have apologised three times for calling you Mrs P ..... I personally think that is just a light hearted bit of wit .... but you found it offensive so i apologised ...... I think you're banging on about it a bit now .... are you really that upset that someone takes your opinion and characterises it?? And I am truly sorry for getting some players' start dates with the club wrong .... I will research every post and make sure it's entirely factually correct rather than do anything from memory again. Jeeeez.
marbelladave Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Barring an absolute catastrophe he won't be sacked. The fact we cannot/will not sign any more players indicates that this season is going to be one where just standing still will be seen as the goal. At the seasons end many of the remaining big earners will depart, as I suspect will Pearson, a new man will be installed and we'll begin again, again.

It's your choice, I know what I'll be doing These two posts sum up our situation rather well I think. We are in a holding pattern and will remain so until we are able to bring ourselves within FFP as we offload more expensive players and contracts run down. I think everyone at the club understands this and our only hope is that NFP can replicate the style, form and results of the first 3 months of last season. Every player that took us top of the table is still here and we have strengthened, new left back, fully fit Matty James and a much improved Jeffrey Schlupp. Can it be done? I think so but it would require a huge change in attitude that I think has to come from the manager, without it I feel we are in for a pretty dull season.

This is the least excited for a new season I have ever been, major apathy would sum it up, by the 1st home game hopefully I'll have gotten excited. but for me atm going to games is mostly a social thing, I enjoy the company of the people I sit with, Nige could change this by not insisting on 442 regardless of who we play, not waiting until 10 mins to go before making a change, meaning its pointless. Pre-season has shown signs of the former with the use of 352, the latter I suspect is more endemic of the man and his lack of willingness to change

Feed The Yak!! Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 I'm sure his substitutions have something to do with it. I like what he's done here but his changes have to be some of the worst I've ever seen, the idea of a substitute is to change the game - positively, his subs do change the game in that we concede late on. How often does he bring on a super sub? I've never seen it. In fact not only does he make strange choices in bringing on players but he also refuses to take off players that have been ineffective all game. The subs is probably one of the only issues I have with him though.

Pre-season has shown signs of the former with the use of 352, the latter I suspect is more endemic of the man and his lack of willingness to change It does sum it up perfectly as does your post ..... And this is why NP's attitude towards the media (which is his opportunity to talk to the fans) is a huge failing. Alot of people feel the same apathy .... would we if he issued a rallying cry, an "in it together" seige mentality, we need the fans type of message?? Of course not ... we'd be lining up to do battle behind him, in spite of the "unfair" system and the restrictions it's placed on us we'd be in together and getting excited about every win and every hefty tackle. As it is, his dull monotony saying nothing even when he does speak just leaves us devoid of a leader ....... that's why there's no unity in the fans .... we haven't got a leader we all believe in .... and if it's affecting us how must it affect the players. Grow some Nige .... come out and speak, challenge, motivate and excite the fans so they can support their club with you leading it.
Babylon Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 we'd be lining up to do battle behind him Why do I not believe that.
Grewks Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 you can dare to say it, but the side that got promotion under Bruce was rebuilt by him, and not in the slightest bit related to the side built by pearson. do some research so your opinion isn't laughed out of the room. Are you seriously that stupid? Pearson would of got promoted the season before Bruce arrived. And as for 'not the slightest bit related'. Chester, evans, brady, rosenior and koren were first team players, and as soon as fryatt and hobbs were fit they were back in the side. All 7 were pearson signings.
5waller5 Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Why do I not believe that. You'll never know anyway .... because he hasn't got it in him.
Babylon Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 You'll never know anyway .... because he hasn't got it in him. You could always try lining up behind the team and doing battle regardless of manager.
Grewks Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Fans hatred towards a manager/player(s) always amazes me at our club. It seems as though more fans are willing to slate and put negativity upon the minority as oppose to get behind the majority. Over the last 12 months we have all agreed what an inspired signing morgan has been, how james looks like he could play in the central role for us in many years time, how schlupp appears to be progressing nicely for a youngster etc etc. It is NP who has made all of this happen, and dare i say if we were in a better financial position i could have seen us making a big impact in this window, signing the likes of hobbs and mackie who are now at forest, but we will never know.
MC Prussian Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 You could always try lining up behind the team and doing battle regardless of manager. But wouldn't that be asking too much from fans?
5waller5 Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 You could always try lining up behind the team and doing battle regardless of manager. Tend to find that a group of people will work together towards a common goal with someone inspiring them to do so. They tend to be called leaders, or managers, and get paid alot of money according to the size of their task. What we need as a set of fans is someone running the club that makes us get behind him and his team, makes us believe in the fight, inspires us. If only we could find that pearson / person - I reckon we'd probably pay around £1m a year for that type of leader.

This is not about survival, this is about a sport many of us just happen to care deeply about. How about showing some self-initiative instead - always blaming it on the "lack of leaders" is an argument that comes across as slightly stale and bland.

"Especially in regards to his man-management and leadership skills, he is the best manager I have played under. Nigel’s focus to win the next game is admirable and the spirit he creates exceptional. He treats players like humans and not like a product you buy in the supermarket." Oh yeah that's Berner on Pearson.
