I was a complete Nigel fan, but now I feel he's gone has far as he can, unfortunately it's too late to change manager now.

When I read this, my first thought was it was a limerick.

I was a complete nigel fan,

But he's took us as far as he can,

he took us up, and fooked it up,

So we need a man with a plan. lol

That being said, big ode Nigel is going nowhere.

He might be an inept badger in some people's eyes but he's OUR inept badger

Regardless of people's opinions on whether he should be fired or not, we can't fire him 3 days away from the transfer window opening. It usually takes weeks to get a new manager in and that would waste the window completely. There can't already be a manager lined up to replace him within a couple of days, we'd have heard the rumours and we've heard nothing.

Those wanting him sacked, give the man a chance, see who we can bring in and give him till March to see if results have improved before you get on his back again. In the meantime, support your team, regardless of whether you like the manager or not

I understand your points, but honestly it's not wanting someone punished for me. I just want to see us stay in the prem and don't care who is the manager. I worry if we don't, and don't come straight back up then the owners will jump ship and we will be stuck in the championship forever. At the moment it just feels like such a missed opportunity. We're nearly good enough, but never quite and hate to say we've probably go to do down the route of very hard to play against, time wasting, mean and very tight defensively. Then again, maybe too late for that as we need wins , not draws. Ah well....

The sad thing is, would you prefer watching U.S. grond horrible results out against prem teams or destroying teams last year?

Too many people are beguiled by the 'premiership product' whilst ignoring what they are watching.

It's not all about the Prwmiership at all, it's about enjoying watching your team and doing what has been difficult for a LONG time as a leicester fan. Being proud.

Lose against Hull and it's all over... We're definitely relegated and it'll be Pearson's swansong!!

Punters were saying that about the villa game,yet he is still here,he will be here at least to the summer.

Not enough quality signings in the summer, Vardy and Nugent are not up to premier league standard, and Morgan and Wasilewski are definitely not. Bad management in my opinion, time to change things.

That's down to the DOF you should know that by now nothing to do with Nigey he hasn't put a foot wrong yet.

After saying weeks ago I think he should have gone I've resigned myself to him being here until summer, if the owners were going to sack him I think he would have been axed by now, I'm not hoping for much in the transfer window either, getting in players to fill our numerous weaknesses is much easier said than done especially due to the summer business.

Like I said whoever is managing the club I hope can turn this run around and make up 6 points but at this moment I don't think many managers could do that, all I do know is that Pearson found his level and the Premier League is one step above what I think he's capable at.

We may be relegated but Pearson is going nowhere!

I'm getting a tad worried about all the fans arguing the case that it's a learning curve for the manager and players....

 

Shouldn't we be wanting to stay up, rather than "learning" and accept relegation with a hope we get promoted again next season?

 

I'm sorry that I live in the present. If we don't stay up this season, why are we assuming that we will be fine next year? It shouldn't even come to that.

If we lose today and go back to a gutless 2-0 defeat then my faith in Pearson would finally be broken. I wouldn't mind him being sacked but as long as there was a suitable replacement lined up. I'm glad they haven't sacked him for the sake of it. Wolves did that to McCarthy and ended up with Terry Connor, who didn't win a single game. 

 

He might be the best chance we have of bouncing back up, but that's a bit defeatist. The Championship is ****ing hard to get out of, so we should be doing whatever we can to avoid ending up there in the first place. Tough one.

Sorry for not replying , but went off to bed depressed again! Personally, yes I would be happy for us to grind out horrible points, just for the occasional upset against the top clubs and a bit of a cup run. Once established in the prem we can attract more investment and better players. I know it's been frustrating for many fans to watch City every week for many years. I was lucky enough to be a teenager in the Bloomfield years, and saw some of MONs success. Lets hope we have something to be cheerful about tonight at 5.

Yeh ok, I'm not enjoying watching us at all, bar a couple of games in the last 13, and I've still one home miserable.

 

I understand why Pearson is still popular and people don't want him sacked, but you can't question the patience of the fans. This is a shocking situation to be in, watching the slow death of your teams season, and the vast majority have stayed behind the team at matches. If Pearson was sacked he could not complain.

I agree with that .... I think the fans have been incredibly patient.

The main problem with the long term argument is that it was used to not sack him after the play off defeat to Watford. Back then people were saying it was a year too early for us to go up and the young squad needed an extra year to become ready for the Prem.

So many times last season was it said that not going up the year before helped us. But helped us to what? Helped us to build a side capable of being relegated from the Premiership?

People have to remember that NP hasnt been in charge for a year. This season was supposed to be towards the end of the long term plan of stability in the Premiership, not resetting the clock to the position we were in when he returned (in the Championship with a squad not good enough for the Premiership).

Love this!

Right here mate.

 

A few more gritty performances like that and we'll stay up.

 

Today was never going to be one to trouble the DVD manufacturers, but winning it was crucial. We have a big month ahead now, time to let the confidence from today have its effect.

I can't stand the absolute morons who have been anti Pearson since the day he was appointed, and have been looking for excuses to be attempted to be proved right ever since.

The people who only ever appear on the forum or on social media when we are struggling and seem to take some sort of enjoyment in us losing because it perversely 'proves their point.'

The people who belittle the achievements he has achieved at this football club in his tenure, i.e

'Anyone could have gotten us out of League 1' (sure ask Leeds, Forest, Southampton etc)

'He bottled the play offs twice' (2 Penalty kicks out of his control)

'It wasn't a great achievement to get promoted with the money we had and he took too long' (Yeah right, hardly spent a penny last season.)

'He can't handle big ego's/Personalities and can't attract players.' (Beckford, Danns, Mills etc have been doing great at other clubs since he got rid haven't they? And you think many players actually sign for managers? You think Pappis Cisse has a yearning to be managed by Alan Pardew? Or Abel Hernandez is in the Steve Bruce fan club? Players move largely because of where a team is in the table and how much cash they and their agent will pocket).

It's just complete bollocks and it's clear in everything that you post that you are against Pearson the man rather than the manager. He never was good enough in their eyes and they are finally being able to enjoy the fact that he is struggling and have been waiting for this for 5 years.

A debate is being had, and rightly so about his positions because at the minute results are disastrous despite positive performance in some parts. But those who are simply spouting the same old shite in every thread because they have 'never liked him' can kindly disappear back to rock in which they crawled out from.

 

This is so, so accurate.

 

Pearson has his faults - well documented and fair, especially this season, and he'll never be immune from balanced criticism - but there are some fans who relish sticking the boot in because of their long-standing hatred of the bloke.

 

One of my Facebook friends posted in the summer he still hated Pearson, despite that incredible season.

 

I can understand why some dislike him - for football and non-football reasons - but the level of personal bile goes beyond that sometimes.

This is just about the worst run we have ever tolerated as a club in 125 years without sacking the manager. So the genuine answer is that fans, in the old days before the internet, would have chanted "Pearson Out" long long ago .... I'm astonished that as a club and set of fans we are being this patient with the disaster that were are witnessing.

Our record losing run under Taylor didn't see him sacked....
