funkyrobot Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 The Pearson bashing will continue until such time as he leaves or he's sacked. The new boss will come in and the same thing will happen. What is missing as usual from the Pearson out brigade is a reasonable suggestion for who could replace him. If you are knowledgable enough to think that Pearson isn't up to the job, then name his successor and tell us why he'd come to Leicester and why he'd do a better job than mr big white trainers.
Guest shearfox Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 I think it is because he keeps bringing the best football to the club in over a decade....
cc_star Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 IT'S ALL GONE QUIET OVER HERE FoxesTalk as busy as ever after a game, hundreds & hundreds online. Can only image many of them are actually disappointed with the win. They logged in wanting Pearson's head on a plate, especially as he dared to leave their darling, Knockaert out of the squad because unlike the fans, Pearson actually works with him on a daily basis and he's judged him not in the right frame of mind to contribute today, but has said to the media he will be a big player for us over the season. Has a manager ever been so undermined by the fans, so questioned but still deliver more than any other manager has for over 11 seasons Is he the second coming? No. But he's good at his job, not just the best we've had for a long time but the best we're going to get and he knows what he's doing and I think a chunk of our fans are disrespectful of that. I'm not saying we should be queuing up to give him a BJ... but FFS, come on! It's like some people want us to fail... a sizeable number too We're all in this together, have a little bit of faith, allow a hint of hope & joy into your life and all pull in the same direction and who knows what may happen just like in 2002-03.
Corky Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 Made some big calls today, 3-5-2 formation away from home, Knockaert not involved at all, Vardy starting. Good on him for risking criticism for reward.
bovril Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 FoxesTalk as busy as ever after a game, hundreds & hundreds online. Can only image many of them are actually disappointed with the win. This always gets wheeled out after a win, and it's ****ing annoying.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 No one's forcing you. And no, when I post, I'm not thinking about having the last word (which isn't true, anyway). " I'm not thinking" Shall I take it out of context?
Manwell Pablo Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 Made some big calls today, 3-5-2 formation away from home, Knockaert not involved at all, Vardy starting. Good on him for risking criticism for reward. Don't get me wrong I'm happy he's in charge as I think 6th last season was enough to get him another shot at it. But I have to say if 3-5-2 Knockaert not involved and Vardy starting is what we're in for I don't fancy us for the play offs. In recent years we've always done well against borough and always done well on the first day, so I'm not reading to much into today's result. Maybe I'm selling him short and he'll change his formation and squad to suit the game in question. And fair play to Vardy was the best goal he's scored in a Leicester shirt and hopefully he's finally started to work he's game to suit the Championship.

This is an interesting point. Your assumption is based on your belief that those who have been disappointed with the decisions made regarding the management of the club support the team less than you. I'd bet that everyone was delighted with the win but there will still be a number of fans who have delusions of grandeur and want us back in the premier league and question the way the owners have been going about it. Looking through the match day thread it was actually good that so many were going nuts when we were 1-0 down. A lot of it was over the top but it shows that many still care about what happens to the team. Give me those fans rather than the meek followers who realign their expectations to the party line of mediocrity that the club has. Been spinning in the post Sven era. We are bound to get defeated At some point this season and it will be just as annoying as it has been for the past 40 odd years to me. How Nige reacts to the inevitable defeat, how his team responds in the following games, how we stay or keep in touch with the top 2 will determine whether he can get over the distrust of his ability rather than actual dislike that I feel and others clearly do too. Would be Royof the Rovers stuff if he does. The day I want Leicester Coty to lose though after some 2000 plus games of being a fan, I promise I will disappear from here and never watch another game. So don't keep saying that all season

I lie how people use irrelevant facts to support arguments Don't read to much into today's game as we always win the first game and always do well against Boro? If only football was that simple by this logic we could have given everyone one more week off and played the youth team in an attacking 0 4 6 formation and still won. Vardy in all honesty won't be the norm he will be bback up to Nuge and Wood, but if he can develop and score goals when given an opportunity it will be a massive bonus. Teams will be different week in week out those complaint about Konchesky and Drinkwater in yesterday over Schluup and knocky are the same ones complaint we are always to lightweight and get bullied away. Perfect selection for the job in hand, Leeds at he is a very different job and I do expect changes in personnel.

So don't keep saying that all season We've always been vocal during matchdays, on here in particular, so I don't see what's changed over the years. Your continuous attempts at downplaying fans' passion (especially the ones on here of which the most don't agree with your overall negativity) are becoming obvious. Actually, I have little to no clue what you're on about - because in one part of a sentence, you claim one thing, only to contradict yourself in the next part. Example: You talk about people wanting a return to the Premiership having "delusions of grandeur", then you demand us keeping in touch with the Top Two. Are you telling us all that you suffer from "delusions of grandeur"? That'd be quite a revelation. The majority of LCFC fans' expectations aren't mediocre, they're realistic. After years of splashing the cash and not getting anywhere (other than into massive debts), a change of philosophy was inevitable. All of us would be delighted if we managed to get back into the playoffs or even the playoff final - only a few (and I'm not even sure whether they exist) wish the team to end up somewhere in mid-table.
howsyourfather Posted 4 August 2013 Posted 4 August 2013 Anyone with and common sense, and that seems to short amongst City fans, would know we've been in the doldrums for a decade and the only man that has got us anywhere near the premiership is Pearson. And if you had even more common sense you would realise effectively booting him out for Sousa put this club backwards, as did the appointment of Sven. Pearson has had to rebuild a side and primarily take on the roll of an accountant because of the mess Sven left. Whenever I go online, or look at various social media sites, there is a plethora of people constantly churning out negativity and spouting terribly informed opinions about where this club should be competing. It infuriates me. I see older fans berating Pearson, which is probably because they look back and former short lived glories and want that back. These people probably have very little in their lives and need the gratification a Premiership win can bring. I also see younger fans writing things such as: "F**K OFF PEARSON YOU CU*T." What puzzles me about these fans is that they didn't know the 'good old days', they've grew up watching us as a Championship side but for some reason they expect the world. The best manager in their lifetime is Pearson and that is a fact. People will then moan about how he treats the fans through the media. He doesn't disrespect City fans, he just doesn't like that jumped up, poor excuse for a journalist on BBC Radio Leicester; watch Pearson on Sky and you see a different man altogether. I believe part of the problem is the media and the exposure of football today. The 'best' leagues and players are shoved into our faces on a daily basis and it's as if people expect us to be there. And I hate the old 'it's because I'm ambitious and want our club to do well' argument. Everyone wants us to do well but you also have to be realistic and understand where we are and the position we are in. Prior to yesterday's game, you could feel the cancer in our support slowly coming back; not beating Monaco and then Northampton was too much for some people to handle. I wonder if these people noticed the Spurs v Monaco score yesterday? It's toxic and I don't blame players for cupping their ears to the fans when we scored yesterday. Too many people believe they know how to manage a club and what to do, and if this differs to the view of a qualified man, who is paid to manage our club, they go into uproar. Take the Knockaert 'situation' for example, he's not in the squad so the Spanish inquisition is opened up. Yes, he's a good player at times, but he can also be absolute cack and Pearson will have a fully justifiable reason for not playing him. The fact it is analysed on here is pathetic. I rarely come on this forum anymore because I can't stand the drivel that gets posted (this doesn't apply to everyone). On a whole, people need to get a life and stop getting worked up about every single element of the club. Things happen and you just have to deal with them. If you were one of the people developing a hernia because Knockaert wasn't in the squad yesterday, here's how dealt with the crushing blow - I looked at the team sheet and then got on with my life and then interacted with some human beings in the real world. Support the football team, the players and importantly the manager. If you can't do that, support another club which will fulfil your unrealistic footballing fantasies and allow you to happily masturbate your days away as your manager picks the perfect squad every time and games are displays of the most beautiful football the world has ever seen. A club that loses their games but plays good football, which makes everything fine because we all know it's far better to lose when playing well than to win when out of sorts. Kind regards
Rincewind Posted 4 August 2013 Posted 4 August 2013 It sounded on the radio that up until the goal the game had been evem. I was still frustrated though I think we have to give Pearson time. Sacking him would mean new manager, new backroom staff, new training method, newtactics and new favourites from the new manager

For a group of players that he's always falling out with, they seem to have a surprising amount of respect for him. 2. Stubborn? In what respect? Team selection? Tactics? 2. He does and quite clearly did bring in good quality players to the squad last season, he just can't bring any in this season due to FFP. Still, that's nothing to do with Sven 'Mr Links' Eriksson, is it? 3. He played a team yesterday that won? Surely that was the right team?

See I wouldn't and sorry if that post was a bit too complicated for you. I am one of those with delusions of grandeur - I think the play offs or aiming for them are a joke and the fans who look forward to them as some kind of achievement are what allows our club to be the mediocre crock it currently is - the passion showed on the board yesterday was great and if NP was fired after a bad run he might have less of them. It's supporters like you who have allowed the bar to be set low and are holding the rest of us back - cant you wick off and support a team with similarly low expectations rather than city ?
