That has to be it. Pearson needs to go.

[Asha]

This attitude that with Pearson in charge we'll piss the Championship because he's done it before is pathetic, guys.

 

Remember Adams got us promoted with ease too, got us relegated and then had us safely in 14th back in the Championship before quitting two months in. It's not going to be easy, why are we already giving up and deciding what will be best for us in the Championship? We're in the Premier League and I can't believe there's so little ambition to stay here.

[old koppite]

I can't believe what I'm reading sometimes.

 

Pearson is not going to keep us up. He's shown over the last 3 months that he can't turn this form around and we'll be relegated in March without a doubt the way things are going.

 

Why the hell wouldn't we make a change now? Get someone new in, mix it up, give the new man the whole of January to make a few additions and give it a real go for the rest of the season. There's not even any fight amongst the fans any more. 2 points from 39 is an absolute fvcking disaster. I've been an admirer of Pearson for a long time but he clearly doesn't cut it at this level. The club will always be bigger than the man, yet people are saying we should be loyal to Pearson even if he takes us down with a whimper because he *might* do okay next year in the lower division. What an embarrassment of a football club Leicester City is at the moment.

Entirely agree. I'm not a big Pullis fan, but he looks the best possible saviour, and warnock might be back on the market soon when listening to a Paalace fan on radio 5 who wants him out- I can't see their chairman letting their slide go on too long- not that I'm blaming ours.

[The Doctor]

Look at the table.

Its fooking embarrassing.

We can moan all we want about lack of luck,missed chances,individual errors etc...We are a fooking embarrassment...repeat an embarrassing mess of a team.

If we lose to hull id love the owners to make a decision.

 

How do you know they haven't already, and their decision was to keep the faith with Pearson?

[Guest Col city fan]

MC Prussian..what on earth is it going to take for you to back down from your stance of effectively arguing with everyone who is suggesting that the club might require a change to avoid relegation? Have you yourself not considered that we possibly need to do something? I'm all for the argument of trying to sign some better players in the new year but as many have quite rightly pointed out, that won't be easy and will be expensive. So people ARE answering that point when you pin all your hopes on this. Secondly, by then, it could effectively be too late you know..new players usually take a bit of time to bed into new teams, especially when those teams are struggling.

Why are you so incredibly narrow minded regarding our plight. I read your posts during games. They are often quite negative. Then you post AFTER games in an opposite way, almost saying everything will be ok?

Are you related to Pearson in some way (genuine question), because this reticence to even debate the fact that we are actually not very good, is bewildering?

The Doctor is pretty much the same. I applaud positivity...but you are Summat else!

[MC Prussian]

Correct me if I'm wrong?

 

We were told - need to consolidate our position in the Premier League the first season.

 

£180 Million made available by the owners

 

Owners state - we will be fininshing in the top 6 within 3 seasons?

 

Was I dreaming??? Is someone lying here???

The amount of money was taken out of context and some rags made it look like as if we were ready to spend £180m in one season alone.

Which is, quite frankly, moronic from a business/investment point of view.

 

Yes, the owners have stated they wanted to establish Leicester City as a Premier League team/brand. But they know equally well how hard it is to get there and may take this season as an important lesson.

 

What you see here, above all, is that some fans take many things for granted. For example, Leicester City as a gift of god to the most dominant English football league and that whatever's in print must be true.

[nettle]

A course in realism, for a start.

Oh ok my mate thanks for the advice.

I tend to agree with most of that, but Adams put together a ridiculously aged squad with the little money we had. We will be much better off financially with a younger group of players. I don't believe it'll be comfortable going back down however.

Who ON EARTH saw LCFC as God's gift to the Premiership? that's ridiculous.

Most of us knew it would be difficult. But most of us, I suspect, didn't expect THIS.

You are posting some barmy stuff this season, my friend.

No one is taking our place in the PL for granted we just want the club to have a go at staying here. Some people seem to be taking for granted that we'll walk the championship next year. If we go down we could be down for another 10 years.

That was with a lot less financial backing compared to today, though. Most of the parachute payment back then had to be used to pay off the numerous creditors.

Lack of money/bad monetary management was a major element in our downfall before and after 2003/2004. Oh, and then there was La Manga... :xmasbiggrin:

[sylofox]

Sorry my mate Pearson in is that better!

You miss the point I agree you are not happy with him and see why.

And know I was not at the game but most seem happy with the game/play just not the result we got.

as in a few games it is mistakes and poor finishing the game play was not that wrong.

 

You can not blame nige for that is all I am saying.

He can not be blamed for everything so a little credit would not hurt.

 

Just be nice when we have played well if a few of the people that wanted Nige out could just say good game bad result.

[Asha]

Yeah we'll win the division easily with the parachute payments.

 

Must be why Cardiff, Norwich and Fulham are running away as the top three then.

[MC Prussian]

No one is taking our place in the PL for granted we just want the club to have a go at staying here. Some people seem to be taking for granted that we'll walk the championship next year. If we go down we could be down for another 10 years.

From what I can tell, the players are having a go on a constant basis - bar one or two games, the work rate is there. Yet we either fall short of scoring up front or commit basic errors in defense.

 

We could stay down in the Championship for another ten years in case of relegation - or not.

It's all hypothetical, anyway.

[5waller5]

Like I am your thoughts.

No I am Not happy but going forward I would rather a manager that has the club at heart than one that spends 50m and we still go down.

With FFP the whole game is different.

 

But like a lot you can't see what some of our thinking is about.

Some are looking at the bigger picture and 50m and Pulis don't mean we will stay up.

It gives us no more chance than Nige does but he will have the squad on his side next season Pulis may not.

 

Snobbery in anyway about loosing grow up none of us want us to go down.

 

You do also realise that competing at a higher level requires investment in better players???

 

I think you're so used to the Championship and have such low expectations of ever being anywhere else that your views are entirely based upon that league.

 

Which is probably a good job, because the manager you are defending is taking us straight back there.

[Raj]

How do you know they haven't already, and their decision was to keep the faith with Pearson?

if the owners have made their decision to stick with NP,i respect that,but thats it for us...we are fooked.

I knew it'd be hard but 10 points by xmas??

13 losses in a row???

Come on guys this is getting ridiculous!

If he didn't and couldn't attract quality players in summer when coming to us was abit of an attraction,Wtf is coming to us when we are adrift of 17th???

Only those cvntsafter a nice little earner

[5waller5]

Not a lot more Pearson could've done today, things just didn't go our way, fact remains for me that he is the best man to take this football club forward, whatever division we end up in next year. 

 

 

WHY!!!????

 

I really don't understand this blind faith and such fear of change. He's not good enough - he is in charge of a team stranded at the bottom of the league and 6 points from safety with only 10 points. What could be worse????

[Mark_w]

You do realise that the lack of investment in better players (which is not exactly Nigel's fault when as far as we can tell he was given about £10m), directly affects how well the manager he's defending can perform. I'm not saying he's perfect, I think we should be 4 or 5 points better off than we are, and that is to a certain extent down to Nigel. But no one could be having us in great shape when we have one of the cheapest sides in the division.

We are in the Premier League. Work rate just about cuts it int he Championship .... but this league needs quality, tactics and work ..... just running round like a sunday league player will not be good enough.

 

I want more for my club than to be plucky losers.

So you are blaming the owners for a lack of investment??? Not Nigel for not recruiting those players???

Burnley are doing better than us on a cheaper squad. We've gone backwards since last season.

Nail on head Raj, my friend.

Some, you know, are banking on City's survival resting squarely on the shoulders of getting some signings in Jan. Thats so risky! To put all your eggs into that one basket:

1. Who will want to join, other than purely for money?

2. The other clubs will be looking to probably strengthen too..it may well be that us, Hull and Brom start bidding wars for certain players.

3. New signings take time to gel, especially in a poor side.

And THIS is the essence of some people's argument. Their survival hopes rest with the January transfer window..

That it should come to this.

As I said earlier..embarrassing.

[Mark_w]

So you are blaming the owners for a lack of investment??? Not Nigel for not recruiting those players???

 

I'm blaming both of them, I don't think the owners (as far as we know) gave the manager anywhere near enough to put us in with a great chance of competing, and I don't think Nigel spent it particularly well (nor do I think he did particularly badly in the window - it was just pretty average). But I don't think either should go for that, I want to give both a chance to learn from their mistakes as they have in the past.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Watching all his interviews he cones out with all the clichés never says what he really thinks and seemed unbothered up until recently that we were getting easily turned over. He admits that he keeps his feet on the ground come rain or shine... I hope to god he's feeling it at the moment like the rest of us!!! Can't stand him seemingly not bothered when DIE HARD fans have their weekends ruined by results!!!

He'd be a mug to come out and say he was feeling the pressure and we were shite, it's his job to keep morale up and thats our biggest strength at the moment! If things were going badly at work you wouldn't be shouting it at the rooftops would you!

[Jace]

I don't think the owners will get rid of Pearson otherwise they would have already done, 1 thing you have to give them credit for is they are willing to look long term at the big picture rather than changing things around. By Pearson still being here I think they want to see what he can do in this transfer window and hopefully the reason is because he has some decent signings in the pipeline. I think there is far too many people on here who think we have just been unlucky which is why things are not going our way, its worse than that but I hope if Pearson does stay we can see a much better improvement on the players that are brought into the club before Robinson left otherwise we will be going around in circles for many more years to come.

The owners aren't going anywhere so the only person that can go now has to.

 

For me it's now obvious that NP won't be able to attract any players of quality in Jan as we are stranded at the foot of the table. Get a new manager in .... bring his connections and players that trust in him in ..... Someone with experience of this level and who can pull players in because of his reputation. Yeah Pulis is the obvious answer, there may be others.

 

One things for sure. It's not NP
