Why do some people actually dislike Pearson as manager

[Salieri]

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

Very good post, unfortunately it will generally fall on deaf ears.

[Lionator]

He is always falling out with the players, stubborn, and has no links to bring in good quality players to the squad and he can never play the right team

 

no links? Who was that Scottish guy who managed Man Utd that he seemed to have good links with?

Is this to me? What twaddle - playing well and losing is better than winning ugly - support your local ballet company, footballs not for you

[MC Prussian]

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 ?

Sorry to crush your illusion, but no.

I'll support this club through thick and thin, even though it sometimes borders on multiple heartache, heartbreak and heart attacks.

 

For now, this club needs positive support and when things go wrong, constructive criticism - something you hardly ever offer.

[Leicester_Numan]

He is always falling out with the players, stubborn, and has no links to bring in good quality players to the squad and he can never play the right team

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that's sarcasm, if you meant it then you're just another moron spouting utter shite

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

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

Well said, and to the point. If one dares to criticize N.P., there are many on here who will throw stones at you.

 

Many anti Pearson posts,can be over the top, but so can the Pro. Pearson posts.

 

The new season has got off to a good start, so let's hope we will all be happy come the end of the season. Somehow I doubt that will be the case, but in all fairness we need to wait until all is finally settled, before slinging mud. That goes for both sets of supporters.

 

Up the City.

The clearly isn't true most Pro Pearson posts are sensible and backed up with facts, its the anti Pearson posts which are utterly useless 99% of the time.

Some of the anti-Pearson posts are sensible and perfectly justified as well, it's the unwarranted and unsupportable claims, insults and name calling that are out of order

A sad day on Saturday for the Pearson haters..... oh well keep going

Probably the most nonsensical bit of absolute bullshit I have ever seen on here. 

[Babylon]

He is always falling out with the players

 

Prove it.

 

 

stubborn

Why is that, because he doesn't pick the players YOU want?

 

 

and has no links to bring in good quality players

Yeah get Sven back, we can sign Beckford and Mills again.

 

 

he can never play the right team

So Saturday wasn't the right team?

[Babylon]

Probably the most nonsensical bit of absolute bullshit I have ever seen on here. 

You have to remember this is the man who believes Newcastle and Man City are where they are because their fans moan a lot.

[FLINTHAMFC]

_{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 believe the above statement to be correct. If you are slagging Pearson off, the players, the style of play you are in effect not supporting them. You may follow them or like the club but support, that is not. If your kids go to uni you don't support them by telling them they are wasting their time and they are completely useless. Even if your kids are thick you wouldn't say that because you would want to support them in their endeavours. If you support the Foxes, shut your trap and get behind what they are trying to acheive or go and give your SUPPORT to another club.}

[C-man]

Pearson has a few faults tactically (not that anyone would have made the same subs as him on Saturday which won us 3 points), but:

a) P 196 W 93 D 51 L 52

b) League goal difference of +95 with him in charge.

In my opinion he has earnt and deserves more respect than our fans (in general) show him. I mean, some City fans were honestly singing 'kill Pearson, if you love Leicester' on Saturday. Fvcking cretins.

Which means that you would have been supporting us blindly through the Pleat, Holloway, Taylor and McClintock eras too - we really don't need fans like you, you make it difficult to affect the changes that have brought us success over the years, so YOU support someone else please

[Manwell Pablo]

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.

 

 

It's not irrelevant though is it, unless you want to claim Psychology has nothing to do with professional sport. In which case more fool you.

you know i was losing hope of reading something worth taking my time over and making me think, yeah I agree with that.

Too many people recently that I have spoken to are down about Pearson, personally I am not concerned if I like him or not, as long as he makes my LCFC the best it can be in the constraints he has.

Lets get over it, get behind the city and as a club supporters players and staff, enjoy the challenge and support each other.

[5waller5]

no links? Who was that Scottish guy who managed Man Utd that he seemed to have good links with?

 

 

The one that retired?

[MC Prussian]

The one that retired?

Doesn't mean he'll abstain from football completely.

[5waller5]

I've been away over the weekend so didn't go to the game, listen or come on here ...... But wow is this getting boring???

 

It seems there is only two points of view on this forum .... Yes NP / No NP ......  so we're in for a season of 46 games of "we won - anyone critical of NP must be dissapointed now!!!!" ... yawn.

[5waller5]

Doesn't mean he'll abstain from football completely.

 

 

What possible use is that particular contact to a current manager now? It's a very poor answer to "he has no contacts" .... "yes he does, a retired premier league manager!".

If we win 46 games what would you complain about?

[5waller5]

Errrrr .... Nothing. Clearly.

 

Isn't this the trouble ..... you can't actually be critical of anything without pathetic posts like this being made????????

[MC Prussian]

You mean, with previous, mostly successful loan deals from Manchester United and that particular manager still having massive influence in the game doesn't mean he could make things happen in our favour still?
