pazzerfox Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 Pearson can't manage big names... like Danns, Beckford and Mills. Not really big names though were they, as proven by where they are currently at! Overpriced, overpaid ego's maybe, but you can harldy call them big names.

StanSP Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 The majority of you lot will more than likely disagree with me, there are a few similarities between Leicester and Liverpool this season. Top of both leagues, play the best football in each league, youngish managers, not spent an awful amount of money on last seasons squads (compared to others), used minimal number of players, team spirit and chemistry are fantastic and the fans believe in our players and our managers. Brilliant to see. Can't really argue with much of that to be honest. Both teams' football has been a joy to watch at times this season. Both sides have superb striking partnerships too. Last time Leicester won the first division title, Liverpool won the league! Another similarity!

An Away Move Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 I listened to Stringer's post Wigan match interview with Pearson. One sentence he said really stood out to me, which tallies very well with the OP of this thread, "We now have a really good group of people". I believe you can only get a group like that after a couple of years of stability. I am so glad our owners learned from the instability of what chopping and changing managers does to a team. Pearson has also put a marker down for any 'big time Charlie' who wants to come to our club. Leave your ego at the door and get your nose down. In response to 'Grandad' though, I wonder how Big Nige would have coped with the antics of Suarez agitating for a move away if were the manager of Liverpool. The ability to skilfully manage difficult players and then bring out the best of them must take a lot of practice and patience!
Grandad. Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 I see your point but certain players have made Liverpool this season - every player has made Leicester, I seriously can't pick one or two Fair, but in the same breath if it hasn't been Suarez winning us important games, we've had Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling, Gerrard and even Henderson (Swansea at home) winning us vital games. Skrtel has been a rock in make shift defences all season, Mignolet first day of the season saving us three points v Stoke with a last minute penalty save. I like the fact the last time you boys won the Division 1 title Liverpool won the League also, here's hoping.

I saw on Twitter another Pearson comment which really struck a chord with me. Not sure if it was as part of the Stringer interview though... 'Ability is not enough. Neither is spirit. But a blend of both gives you a great chance of success'. So true.

If what he's done here is anything to go by, he'd have sold him to Bolton and signed a better cheaper replacement.
The Blur Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 Loving this even more so I see managers like Jose Mourinho making comments that slag his own players off.
Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 Please can somebody photoshop an image of this happening?
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 If we go up, we will need some fairly big names, so should this be the case, then it will be interesting to see how Pearson handles them. I will say no more at this stage, so I'll enjoy the rest of this season.
Alf Bentley Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 Please can somebody photoshop an image of this happening? There must be a still of the Dad's Army credits somewhere.... Cast list: Mainwaring - NP Wilson - Wes Jones - Vardy or Lloyd? Pike - Knocky Pike's Mum - Futacs Godfrey - Andy King Frazer - Kasper Walker (Spiv) - Mahrez Mrs. Fox - Nuge Warden Hodges - Matt Mills The Vicar - Beckford The Verger - Danns Mainwaring's ne'er-do-well drunken brother - St. Ledge p.s to MarshallforEngland....Do you think NP would want Ben Marshall in the trenches with him?
Culletonfox Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 Even when Nige has signed players that he thought would do well for us, he shipped them out without hesitation!! Ben Marshall.......Big names wont scare our Nige!!!
Mack Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 What is going on at our club is something special, I hope the powers that be truly understand that.
Corky Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 When has Pearson failed to cope with a big name? He seems to be absolutely fine with Konchesky (Premier League player, Europa League finalist, England caps), Nugent (FA Cup winner, England caps and goals), Solano (Premier League player, Champions League participant, many international caps).

He seems to be absolutely fine with Konchesky (Premier League player, Europa League finalist, England caps), Nugent (FA Cup winner, England caps and goals), Solano (Premier League player, Champions League participant, many international caps). He hasn't, it's a myth created by people who wanted a stick to beat him with. He deals with bad attitude however by drop kicking any offending players to bolton.
Grandad. Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 When you have success the media and fans from other clubs will often create myths about your club, to try and unsettle the club and side, it's even better when you can go 20 games without defeat or an 8 game winning streak in my teams case and you can just laugh at the drivel that is spouted.
Kinowe Soorie Posted 3 April 2014 Posted 3 April 2014 Exactly right- we will lose games next season, some maybe by a few goals! Got to stick with him though This!!
Biggus Posted 4 April 2014 Posted 4 April 2014 He also has a Special Forces soldier - WAS ! "You insult my boss you insult me.....!". There is an obvious love in between them.
LCCFox96 Posted 4 April 2014 Posted 4 April 2014 Strong statement and says everything about the togetherness at the club. NP and Wasyl in the trenches would scare me shitless if I was an enemy solider!
