MHC Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Nigel Pearson is certainly a manager who divides opinion amongst foxes supporters, I know there are certainly some fans who cannot accept him as our manager, and that often leaves me scratching my head in amazement. What else can this man possibly do to win over the small minority of supporters who cannot see that Nigel Pearson is a very talented manager? On the other hand, a vast majority of supporters see Nigel Pearson as a man with potential to become our greatest ever manager, and rightly so. I think he has done a marvellous job since returning to the king power stadium (or walkers stadium, which it was called in his first spell with the club). To the point of this post. I would like to take you on a journey through the past, as we look at the career of Nigel Pearson (prior to joining the foxes) and what has made him the manager he is today. The present, as he guided us to the Skybet Championship title in what can easily be considered his greatest managerial achievement to date, and to the future, as we have a look at how far his managerial ability can take us. So sit back and enjoy as I inform you all why Nigel Pearson IS good enough for the Premier League. Nigel Pearson was born in Nottingham, 1963. Although becoming a footballer was his desired occupation, a career in the military was his backup plan, and judging by his seemingly strict and professional personality he would have been as successful in the military as he has been in football. However, it was not to be and in 1980, Nigel Pearson began his youth career with non-league Heanor Town, his spell at Heanor only lasted until 1981 as his potential as a centre half was discovered by then Second Division Shrewsbury Town in November. For the remainder of the season Nigel Pearson failed to make an appearance for the first team but he did make an impression on the coaching staff. That impression earned him his proffessional debut on the opening day of the 1982/83 season, a 1-0 defeat at Oldham Athletic. He went on to play for Shrewsbury Town until 1987 when his ability was spotted by Sheffield Wednesday's Howard Wilkinson. Nigel Pearson finally made a name for himself at Hillsborough, where he was made captain and helped guide the Owls to the league cup in 1991, being named man of the match in the final. Sheffield Wednesday were also promoted to the First Division that very same season. In the 1992/93 season he broke his leg in the league cup semi-final, which meant he would go on to miss out on two potential winners medals in the league cup and FA cup finals respectively. He was described as "the best captain he had ever worked with" by Ron Atkinson during his spell at the club between 1989 and 1991. By 1994 Nigel Pearson was heading into the final stages of his playing career and he joined Bryan Robson's revolution at Middlesbrough after seven successful years at Sheffield Wednesday. He was made club captain by Robson and achieved two promotions and three domestic cup finals during his time at Boro, one of which was against Leicester and the first match our future owner, Top watched. Slightly ironic I know and I'm sure anybody reading this will not need reminding what happened in the 1997 league cup final, so I shall not bother. Pearson decided to call it a day in 1998 after a reasonably successful playing career. In December 1998, Pearson was named Carlisle United manager until the end of the season. Although the return of five wins from thirty doesn't seem impressive, consider that this was Pearson's first delve into management at a very young age and that Carlisle were considered a poor side back then, even by Division Three standards. Pearson still guided them to safety against the odds thanks to an injury time goal on the last day of the season, courtesy of a goalkeeper (yes, you read it correctly) called Jimmy Glass, whom Pearson signed on loan for the club. In the summer of 1999, Nigel Pearson joined Gary Megson's backroom staff at Stoke City in the old Division Two where he stayed until 2001, when he was sacked by their Icelandic owners. He spent the next three years in exile before finally joining West Brom in 2004, reuniting with former manager Bryan Robson as his assistant. In the 2004/05 season Pearson helped Robson mastermind West Brom to Premier League safety. The following season, they were unfortunately relegated and when Robson left the club in November 2006 Pearson was made caretaker manager for four games (three wins and one draw). The appointment of Tony Mowbray drove Pearson to seek alternative employment as Mowbray wanted to bring in his own assistant. Pearson was brought to Newcastle United as Kevin Bond's replacement who was sacked following a bung scandal. His presence helped influence Newcastle's defence to tighten up significantly and in 2007 he was named as Stuart Pearce's assistant at England under 21's. Due to a technicality in Pearce's contract which restricted the amount of friendlies in which he could manage the team, Pearson guided England under 21's to a 3-3 draw in the first game at the new Wembley. Pearson was put in charge for the final game of the 2006/07 season after Newcastle and Glenn Roeder parted company. The game against Watford ended in a draw. Following Sam Allardyce's arrival at the club, Pearson was demoted to coach. Later that season he was again put in temporary charge after Allardyce's dismissal, in his two games, he won one and lost one before Kevin Keegan was re-appointed and Pearson left the club soon after. Southampton saw Pearson's potential as a manager and decided to give him a contract lasting until the end of the season to save them from relegation to League One. He did just that, at Leicester's expense may I add. He won three, drew seven and lost four of his fourteen matches and despite saving Southampton from the drop he didn't get offered an extension to his contract. Nigel Pearson finally got a proper chance at management with none other then the foxes. Pearson's first full season as a football manager ended in success as he guided Leicester to the League One title, as you all know. The following season was another success story as he guided the foxes to the Championship play-offs but was seemingly pushed out of the door, and at the end of the season he jumped ship and joined Hull City, where it is safe to say he built the foundations that have played a huge part in consolidating Hull's Premier League status. After over a year of expensive decisions by Leicester's Thai owners, they decided to turn back time and re-appoint Nigel Pearson in what was quite an embarrassing u-turn for the owners, who no doubt played a part in Pearson's departure during his last spell at the club. It has proved to be the right choice, but the moment the owners truly redeemed themselves was when they opted to stand by their man a year ago. That decision could possibly be one of the greatest in the club's history, and is refreshing in this day and age considering the high amount of trigger happy chairmen. Everything about Nigel Pearson as a manager is positive. From his tactics to his transfer dealings, and I get the feeling that he genuinely cares for the club in the sense that he could spend ridiculous money on overrated players like Eriksson did, but he chooses a more cautious approach for the good of the club, financially. You could also argue that he could (and perhaps should) have told our owners "no chance, not after what happened last time" when they approached him about the job in 2012, but he didn't. He said in his press conference upon returning to the club that he has an affinity with Leicester and it is that mixed with the fact that he hadn't seen the job through last time out that made him want to come back I believe. We have a manager who was made for the Premier League in my opinion and we should consider ourselves lucky to have him. He already has experience in the big time albeit on a coaching and playing basis but his record in the Premier League as a manager isn't bad, one win, one draw and one defeat in difficult circumstances following managerial dismissals after an extended run of poor form. Nigel had to pick all those "low on confidence" sides up and achieve results and he only lost once to an almost invincible Manchester United side, so what could Pearson do with a side high on confidence in the Premier League? Who knows. I would like to suggest that Leicester's rise under Pearson will continue in the Premier League. We have someone described by a former Man Utd manager as "the best captain he ever worked with", a manager who's style has evolved over the last few years, and I am lucky to have witnessed it, as have all of you. He has evolved into a manager worthy of a full season in the Premier League, no matter what happens, whether we end up like Cardiff or not is debatable but I am convinced we are more likely to go the way Southampton have. We have a Premier League class manager at the helm of our beloved club for the first time since O'Neill and if he continues to bring success to Leicester we may face a struggle to keep him, but Pearson is a loyal man and I can see him staying for at least three more years regardless of how high he may take us, so let us all embrace the Pearson era and watch the greatest spell in our history unfold before our very eyes.

AKCJ Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 I don't know a single person who doesn't 'agree' with Nigel Pearson as our manager. So for that reason alone;
Kinowe Soorie Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 I don't know a single person who doesn't 'agree' with Nigel Parson as our manager. So for that reason alone; I'll bet there is still some cnuts on here who would disagree...
Rushden fox Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Good read but I'm still not sold on how he will deal with the big players we are certain to need.....eventually. I hope I am wrong and we finish in the top half a la MoN. Come on the foxes

sdb Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Anyone who isn't behind NP is a complete clown. Even the biggest morons seem to appreciate what he's done for this club.
cjslcfc Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Good read but I'm still not sold on how he will deal with the big players we are certain to need.....eventually. I hope I am wrong and we finish in the top half a la MoN. Come on the foxes Dear God. What makes you think he can't deal with 'big' players? He hasn't had to so far! Are you thinking of Mills, Beckford etc..? If so, all he's had to deal with are average players who are on far too much money and think they are much better than they are. He's done pretty well by showing them the door as well!!
the_enlightened_one Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Superb article. I actually work with a bloke who hates Pearson and I have a relative who can't wait to see the back of him so I understand the point of this. People should stop slating this and have a read, can't blame the bloke because your lazy.
Webbo Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 I was going to buy his autobiography but I don't think I'll bother now.
Carl the Llama Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 I will always sexually gratify Nigel if called upon.
shade Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 I was going to buy his autobiography but I don't think I'll bother now. more chance of nige doing a pop up book.
LanguedocFox Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Good article and you are correct: there are some pr!cks saying he's not good enough for the Premier League. One fact which I think is amazing about Pearson isn't fully brought out in your original post is that he has only spent five full seasons as a manager in his entire managerial career (six if you include his season split between Dull and City). What he has achieved in those five seasons is incredible. After Southampton dumped him (after he saved them from relegation as well), he spent two full seasons with us. The first was his first full season as a club manager, and he got us promoted as Champions from the third tier at the first attempt. In his second full season, he got us to the second-tier play-offs. After Mandaric eased him out, and he joined Hull, in his first full season he rebuilt the squad and got in the core that got them promoted two years later. After 15 months at Hull, the Thais (thankfully) got him back to replace Eriksson, and in just over half a season he got us to ninth place. In his third full season with City he got us to the play-offs again, and then this year, he once again got us promoted as champions. I can't think of any manager other than Clough who started off a managerial career with so many achievements. I really can't wait to see him perform as a Premier League manager.
st albans fox Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Has anyone asked NP about our terrible spell last season and why he found it so difficult to halt the slide. I guess its a bit like what we saw this year from florist although they failed to grab hold of the chance in the last few fixtures when the door opened just enough. Shame. Thats the only time i have worried about him. He seemed incapable of making the right decisions to reverse things. maybe he has been asked bit i've never seen or heard it.
Babylon Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Good read but I'm still not sold on how he will deal with the big players we are certain to need.....eventually. I hope I am wrong and we finish in the top half a la MoN. Come on the foxes And why is that? Tell me, who are these big players he's not dealt with very well previously that makes you think he can't? As has since been proven, the players he got rid of were dumped because they simply aren't good enough. I find it amazing that people are still influenced by the poison that was spread about Pearson and the "arguments" by those that didn't want him as our manager.

He sort of did halt the slide? We were one converted penalty away from a play off final?
