LanguedocFox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I agree that what happened to the sub-contractors wasn't a great representation of our club but many forget that the club tried everything it possibly could to avoid administration and the consequences that brought upon those associated with it. If I recall correctly they had their hand forced by a former player's agent who issued a winding up order against the club and then it became a free for all with all the main creditors scrambling to get their hands on virtually any asset they could to avoid losing out. Unfortunately in those situations the small boys are the ones that come off worst but I don't think that this was ever the clubs intention. Yes, you are correct. It was that miserable little sh!t Eric Hall, Dennis Ar$ehole Wise's agent, who took us to the High Court to try and get Wise's contract paid up, and his two million agent's fee paid. The club refused, and he applied for a winding-up order, and then for administrators to be appointed. Once that happened, enough of our other creditors agreed with his petition to send us over the edge. It's also worth bearing in mind that he eventually lost his case against us, and had to pay both sides' costs. We were not the first, nor we were the last, club to go into administration, but we appear to be the only one that is ever accused of "cheating". I've heard that kind of gobsh!te from pig-ignorant fans of other several clubs (notably Florist), but I never expected to hear it from one of our own. The only person in the game who has ever made that accusation is Neil Walnut, who did it after his non-achievers at Sheffield United (who finished third to us - more than ten points behind as well) failed to get promoted through the play-offs that season. Colin is someone who has looked for scapegoats for his own failures throughout his managerial career, and anyone who takes any notice of that poisonous fvckwit is an idiot.
Sly Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 As things stand, Leicester are in desperate, desperate need of a shot in the arm. We like the Titanic and are destined for relegation as the rate we are going. Pearson has just lost it for me. I've backed him up until this point but we can't persist with the rubbish much longer. IF YOU DO, WHAT YOU ALWAYS DONE, YOU ARE A FOOL FOR EXPECTING ANYTHING TO CHANGE!
MHC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Get rid of him now. I don't care who we get in, no one is worse then Pearson.
NeilLCFC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 After his decisions and tactics over the last couple of month and especially the last two games, I think even the most loyal Pearson lovers would have to agree it's probably time for him to go.
Tuna Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Look at all the teams who have sacked their managers: Palace - Improved WBA - Improved Forest - winning today Yeovil - winning today Birmingham, Reading - massive upturn in form with the SAME players !!!WE are good enough, the manager and his tactics and selections are to blame. Get him out!
Guest kristianity77 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Question now is, who do we want at the helm in the battle to get us back out the Championship? Annoyingly, Pearson is tried and tested at succeeding at that. Sack him now or not it isn't going to change the outcome of this season, we are relegated after today and have zero chance of staying up. If they were going to sack him, they should have done it 3 months ago.

Guest Col city fan Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 In all sincerity, isn't anyone utterly fed up with all the excuses this season? Genuinely..hand on heart, we are rubbish and have been rubbish all season. Pearson learning this division has become, I'm afraid, a complete joke. As a City fan, I hate seeing us so utterly appalling. There will be some who, yet again, try to argue that we did well and were unlucky etc..but it's become boring. Just boring. I've said for months that we needed to develop a system, capable of playing well in the Prem. We never have and are still playing the 4-4-2. It's all been huff and puff..lots of effort, but too little quality and game plan. You didn't have to be Gypsy Rose Lee to predict it. We had a chance to change things, didn't, and we've got what we deserved.
bovril Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Don't really care anymore. We'll go down whatever. As posted above, I'm just sick of the fvcking excuses and borderline personality disorder.
The Doctor Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Eh, not his fault today - we created enough chances to win 5 matches in the first half, and should have equalised straight away: but we keep wasting chances, like we're afraid of scoring. It's ridiculous, but the buck stops with the players infront of goal, not with Nigel - the set up was right, and if anyone could shoot straight we'd be walking away comfortable winners and out the relegation zone. The problem is the forwards, not the manager.

No. It'll be how lucky we all are to have him next season.
josh_baskin Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Why he played Nugent for 70 minutes and kept our new 10 million striker on the bench goes beyond me! That decision alone must warrant him getting the axe.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 How long before he starts choking our own players?

The problem is the forwards, not the manager. I don't think he should be sacked, but maybe if he'd played our new 9 million pound signing who can shoot..... He picks the players, the buck stops with him.
stingray Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Have supported Pearson until today. He has to go for the future of the club. I'd also go for Neil Lennon.
The Doctor Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I don't think he should be sacked, but maybe if he'd played our new 9 million pound signing who can shoot..... He picks the players, the buck stops with him. Kramaric didn't really do anything when he came on though. I'd have wanted him to start, but that would have been little more than the "ooh, he's a new thing" effect so far.
cityfanlee23 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Now im starting to agree. We need something different from a proven manager. Let's not bullshit and start the whole "nobody is available" Let's pay for a manager and get someone in before we are truly gone.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Get rid of him now. I don't care who we get in, no one is worse then Pearson. Peter Taylor's available...
SecretPro Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Why he played Nugent for 70 minutes and kept our new 10 million striker on the bench goes beyond me! That decision alone must warrant him getting the axe. Nuge played well (apart from missing chances again). Should have taken Ulloa off instead. And I'd never normally say somethng like this.
Tuna Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Pearson is exceptionally lucky that the majority of fans have not turned on him ala Pardew. He more than deserves it for his poor handling of this season.
Guest Col city fan Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Posts from the likes of 'The Doctor' are really starting to grate. It's excuse, after excuse, after excuse. I'm fed up of hearing it, and reading it. It's boring. There is nowt more to be said. It looks like after ten years in the wilderness, we are going back there once more.

Yeah, clearly Nigels fault that Schlupp can't shoot straight, or that Nugent took an extra touch after rounding the keeper and closed off his angles, or that Simpson fell asleep and let them have an easily preventable corner... Changing manager isn't going to stop these acts of stupidity on the pitch. Rather than being the non-committal king of hindsight, why don't you state clearly what you think will solve the problems.
