Babylon Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 You're still at i see... Two decent additions is going to make all the difference? Its become tiring..and boring Two good players could make a lot of difference depending on their positions, buying certain players could open up new formations, could bring organisation at the back and a heading ability, could finish or create those extra couple of chances, could put in set pieces or get on the end of them. We're currently losing by the odd goal and gifting the oppo chances. It's not a gaping chasm of difference most of the time. Whether we're actually able to get the players who could make that difference is rather more debatable.
artursteppe Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 I am not going to vote. What will be etc. However I will say that I never really liked Pearson. He is undoubtedly arrogant. My view is that he likes the fans no more than he likes Stringer. He sees everyone around him as being a nuisance, unless they are answerable to him. He is, to be absolutely fair a 'bit of a tosser', in reality. Our team is not as good as he thinks OR he is not as good as he thinks, OR both. That is a factual statement. He has told us all along that the players are good enough to 'surprise' people. Either they are not, or they are and he is crap, or as I said, both. Let's get a few things straight about Pearson - the players he has brought in were either recommended by Walsh, or his best mate at Man Utd. I am not sure what Pearson had to do with any of it. Tactically he has always been average at best. Yes he got us promoted last season, BUT the previous season he managed fifteen points from the last seventeen matches, which was relegation form. Three wins only, with eight defeats when we probably had the best players in the Championship. Looking at Pearson (without wearing blinkers) should give all Leicester supporters at least some cause for concern!

CosbehFox Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 Can't see the point about Walsh being a good thing. You lose Pearson, you lose Walsh and there's no doubt that they have done a great job during their period here when it comes to recruitment bar this summer. Equally you sack a manager now, you can forgot about bringing in decent quality players in January. Our scouts will be working overtime right now, you lose Pearson and you lose that set up. Pulis joined Palace at an ideal time when there was still a couple of months before January. As did Poyet. It's too late to make an impact on the season now.
kingfox Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 He looks defeated already in my opinion, he simply doesn't have a clue what to do at this level, and the way he is coming across in interviews doesn't fill me with much confidence, he is just saying the same old things week by week. People bang on about, well look at Newcastle, West Ham etc...how they managed to turn their fortunes around over previous seasons; however to be honest both those teams have better squads than us, plus they both have managers with vast experience of managing in the Premier League. Pearson has got us out of messy situations before, but that was only at Championship level, the Premier League is a whole different ball game. In the Championship when we hit that messy patch, we still knew that the squad especially were capable of beating most teams in the league, at Premier League level I just don't see that unless someone comes in with new ideas & fresh philosophy. Losing against West Brom, Palace, QPR, Villa is simply not good enough, drawing against Burnley & Sunderland is simply not good enough. How are we meant to survive when we can't even beat those teams? And don't give me all this bollocks, about even if we get relegated I'd like Pearson to remain in charge. We have been waiting for Premier League football for ten bloody years, and some fans are talking like they wouldn't mind being back in the Championship.
Corky Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 I don't think those fans want to go down, just that if we did they'd still want Pearson in charge. I haven't seen anyone say they want to get relegated.
Monsell1976 Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 I don't think those fans want to go down, just that if we did they'd still want Pearson in charge. I haven't seen anyone say they want to get relegated. To be fair mate, a few have posted that they would take relegation, because we go straight back up next season.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 I never really liked Pearson. Tactically he has always been average at best. Yes he got us promoted last season, Tactically shocking yeah... as they broke all kinds of records on the way to absolutely smashing the division and running away with the title. BUT the previous season he managed fifteen points from the last seventeen matches, which was relegation form. Yet still made the top six given the fantastic form before the big blip. Was he not responsible for the first 29 matches of that season, just for the bad games? There are reasons to criticise the bloke but I don't think these are fair.
Benji Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 I've had NP worked out for ages, always said he was clueless tactically but always got abuse for not buying into the NP love in. Same with a lot of the players, I said from day one that Moore, Was, Morgan, RDL, James, Knocky, Schlupp, to name but a few weren't good enough to step up to Premiership level. Ironic that the one player who has shown he can play against top strikers at International level was bombed out by NP, who then brought Upson in! NP and his staff got themselves big contracts as did many mediocre players, which now leaves us in a mess, plus it will cost our owners big money to get rid. What a shambles! Fk it, let's appoint you, you clearly know everything. Clueless: having no knowledge, understanding, or ability. A man who gets a team promoted from league one to the premier league is not clueless. Is he struggling to make his team a sustainable premier league team? Perhaps. Clueless? No.
Mark_w Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 I said from day one that Moore, Was, Morgan, RDL, James, Knocky, Schlupp, to name but a few weren't good enough to step up to Premiership level. Well no, you said from day one that they weren't good enough to get us promoted to the Premier League along with Nigel Pearson apparently, and you were very, very wrong. Don't play the 'I told you so' card when you got the most important talking point on this forum for the last two and a half year so woefully wrong.
artursteppe Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 OK, I'm getting off the fence. Get shot of him now.
Corky Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 We can condense artursteppe's post down to- don't like Pearson, never have, can't admit he's done anything well, success was down to other people, failures were all his fault. And he hates the fans with pashun.
dogadug Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 OK, I'm getting off the fence. Get shot of him now. You were on the fence previously??!! Your posts don't make it seem that way
Mark_w Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 OK, I'm getting off the fence. Get shot of him now. :xmaslaugh: Think I'm going to get off the fence as well, Pearson in and I don't half like the look of that Waghorn lad.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 So 15 games is enough to decide if someone is incapable of managing at this level? You don't think that's a bit ridiculous? Let's just say he's massively cocked almost everything, thus far. It looks pretty obvious that he can't cope at this level, and is rapidly undoing all the good work he did for us last season! Two points out of a possible thirty, since Man. United, is really Premiership material. Two out of thirty three, come next Saturday. If he's still our manager at the end of this season, then we will be a Championship side again.
LCFC Rennie Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 All the people saying stay are probably the same people who voted in a poll for Martin Allen to be the city manager all those years back, to which Milan responded! No, just staying loyal to the manager who achieved one of our best ever seasons last year.

Billy Davies would be the one!
wattolcfc Posted 8 December 2014 Posted 8 December 2014 15 games isn't enough to base anything on. The same people would have had shot of Pearson after the Watford defeat, only for him to turn it around again. He clearly believed the players deserved the chance to have a crack at the prem, unfortunately they haven't stepped up to the mark (as of yet), so Nige deserves the chance to replace them in January. If, we then fail, so be it, but until you're given a proper crack at something, you can't write anything off. We've seen fans turn on Little, who played some brilliant stuff, and sir Martin O'God also. If history teaches us anything, it's this - don't be so quick to judge! Hiring someone else doesn't mean we'll stay up, just look at Fulham, Cardiff, Wigan, Blackburn etc. And if we still go down, we'll possibly be in an even worse state. Unfortunately it's the way of the world we live in. Overnight success is demanded. People want things NOW, instead of waiting. It's basically the Hire Purchase society I blame it on.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 I never said anything about "two decent additions" - "a couple of" can mean "a few", too. IMO The only boring thing is you replying to anything substantial that I write, without giving your two penneth, buddy. A "couple" does mean TWO, so your opinion is wrong. If you meant a few, then you should have said so in the first place.
5waller5 Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 Fair play to our owners who really have shown him some loyalty now .... I really hope he turns it around, but 2 points in 30 is awful at any standard .... 2 or 3 in 36 / 39 and we look in big trouble .... The clock really is ticking very loudly in that boardroom now.
Guest Col city fan Posted 9 December 2014 Posted 9 December 2014 A "couple" does mean TWO, so your opinion is wrong. If you meant a few, then you should have said so in the first place. Funny that..call me old fashioned, but I was always taught that a couple meant two, too. Same as a pair..like a pair of tits..
