cityfanlee23 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 That comment will get alot of stick His record speaks for itself bar Fulham, which I'll reiterate doesn't look too bad under the current circumstances... (plus the ridiculous amount of injuries he had there) Watch a few of his fulham interviews, I'm sure your opinion of him will change, Very insightful, knows the game like the back of his hand and his win % over his career is very competitive. He's certainly better than Nigel. My opinion anyway.
Tom17LCFC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I didn't see anything idiotic there, the only omission was that it's our third league defeat on the trot, and comes on the back of another huge winless run. If it takes more than that to tell you that your manager isn't up to it (like, say, getting relegated first) then you'll deserve what you get. and if we get a new manager in and still go down, then what?
inckley fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 It's hilarious to see so many staunch defenders of Pearson who find silly the prospect of replacing him with guys who actually know what they're doing at this level. When the best you can possibly say for our manager is that, okay, he's pretty useless at the moment in the PL but he might get better if, out of the blue, he shows signs of learning from his past errors.
hackneyfox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I see a man who is doing all he can with a squad woefully ill-suited to the Premier League. I actually think in other shades rather than black and white. Your short termism and blame culture is what is wrong with the country.It's his squad that is woefully ill suited so just who should take the blame?
inckley fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 and if we get a new manager in and still go down, then what? Then we'll still know that Pearson wasn't good enough. We'll have another manager who might be.
yorkie1999 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 It's not just Pearson that's got to go, it's the whole fvckin coaching staff. We look Absolutely clueless with our basics. We had a few corners today playing it to the near post for a player to flick on. Well the sole point of doing that is for either a player combining in at the far edge of the six yard box, or if they clear it , the ball will probably end up at the far corner of the penalty box or the edge of the penalty box. So why do we just crowd the centre of the 6 yard box. We have no chance of the second ball and are solely reliant on a 50-50 ball to get at goal. Another thing, why do we bring every player back for oppo corners, surely today mahrez is going to make no difference whatsoever against 61/2 foot tall players, he would have been better off staying up and offering a threat when we clear the ball. We don't seem to have any confidence in front of goal, surely this is a coaching thing, are we trying to be to technical with analysing other teams and being more bothered about what the other team could do, instead of just concentrating on our own game.
Tom17LCFC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Then we'll still know that Pearson wasn't good enough. We'll have another manager who might be. how will we know? haha fantastic another manager who might be good enough to get us back into the prem. you've sold it to me! it astounds me how many of you want pearson out.
cityfanlee23 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 and if we get a new manager in and still go down, then what? Having that attitude will take us nowhere? what if we stick with nigel, go down, then don't come up? Then what?? This is not just a game, this is 100m a year revenue difference between the premiership/championship (Parachutes aside) Look at wigan, Leeds, Us, Cardiff, fulham... Shall I go on?

HankMarvin Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 When the going gets tough his tactics are shit, no plan A, no plan B, no plan C. It's lump the ball up & hope for the best tactics, people didn't want Pulis in charge well quite frankly Pearson is turning into him with this hoof ball rubbish. Not having it, we are better than this, he is better than this yet it looks like he is losing the plot most weeks. thats not the only worrying thing, the man comes across as massively arrogant, obviously still considers himself a tough guy - look no further than today's incident and the matt mills head-butt. The players who we hoped would be very good at this level are shadows of there former selves Vardy and Drinkwater confidence shot to bits, but just like his tactics he fails to change the players mindsets
Manwell Pablo Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Good point.... oh no wait a minute we would potentially miss his 2 goal tally for the season you are contradicting yourself by saying a Striker (that is paid to score) looked good enough today apart from his dire finishing, Thats like me saying the doctor done a good job apart from the mistakes he made in the operation Well no, that only if your instant in looking at things in black and white and want to ignore the fact he actually plays behind the striker.
Tom17LCFC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Having that attitude will take us nowhere? what if we stick with nigel, go down, then don't come up? Then what?? This is not just a game, this is 100m a year revenue difference between the premiership/championship (Parachutes aside) Look at wigan, Leeds, Us, Cardiff, fulham... Shall I go on? it's all hypothetical. pearson however has a proven track record with us, we'd be foolish to get rid now.
psychonaut Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Shoulda took Pulis when we had the chance...
I blame Wellens Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 it's all hypothetical. pearson however has a proven track record with us, we'd be foolish to get rid now.I give up
cityfanlee23 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 It's his squad that is woefully ill suited so just who should take the blame? It's a mixture of both really, but I don't think we are hopelessly not good enough, I just think we don't have the right manager to do it at this level... Look at Pardew, took over a team hopelessly outclassed every week, has taken that team and put them on track... Who says new ideas and fresh style of play would not get the best out of us? I think there comes a point where we know we are going down with the current gaffer, and it becomes worth taking a final gamble, financially and morally. 100m difference in revenue in the premier league, the difference between making a profit, or losing money and getting a ban.. We DEFINITELY won't pass FFP in the championship with our current squad.
Tom17LCFC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I give up i'll take that on board chap, cheers.
LanguedocFox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I cannot for the life of me understand what will be gained by getting rid of Pearson at this stage of the season. OK, I am a long-time Pearson fan, but I think that today's result makes it very difficult - although not impossible - for us to survive this season. But sure as sh*t, if we dump Pearson now, we are definitely doomed, and will probably end up somewhere down at the bottom of the Championship next season. If we go down, Pearson is the right person to bring us back up again. He's still the best manager we've had since O'Neill, and until we are mathematically certain to be relegated, I still think he can keep us up.
johnny the fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 how will we know? haha fantastic another manager who might be good enough to get us back into the prem. you've sold it to me! it astounds me how many of you want pearson out. so if we don't win another point this season you will be happy to stick with nigel...do you have a cut off point? if so what is it?
MHC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 it's all hypothetical. pearson however has a proven track record with us, we'd be foolish to get rid now. We'd be foolish to stick with him after this disgrace of a season so far. It's about time the Pearson lovers got a grip and started supporting Leicester instead of Nigel!
cityfanlee23 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 it's all hypothetical. pearson however has a proven track record with us, we'd be foolish to get rid now. His track record is at League 1 and Championship Level. I do know what you are saying, and up until today I had the same approach as you, but today was the straw for me. too far gone to save us i'm afraid. even simple things like his attitude, He's too arrogant and egotistical to change, for example his spat with McCarthur today, clearly no intent was made, Pearson lost the plot. and that says alot about the situation when he's losing the plot for no reason. Who knows whats going on in his head but it's clearly not working.
LanguedocFox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Having that attitude will take us nowhere? what if we stick with nigel, go down, then don't come up? Then what?? This is not just a game, this is 100m a year revenue difference between the premiership/championship (Parachutes aside) Look at wigan, Leeds, Us, Cardiff, fulham... Shall I go on? All of whom changed their manager, often more than once.
Manwell Pablo Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 It's a very simple point you're making, but so undeniably true it's unreal. It's not really is it. He's contributing, we actually look capable of playing football when he's on the pitch, unlike Ulloa has one more league goal than him since September despite playing further forward and consistently looks poor. If Kramaric is a no.10 than fair enough I know nothing about the bloke I just assumed based on his goal scoring record he played further forward.
HankMarvin Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Well no, that only if your instant in looking at things in black and white and want to ignore the fact he actually plays behind the striker. ok same point he played behind the striker didnt link up play, didn't assist and missed a sitter, can you be my new boss you obviously have low performance based expectations
Tom17LCFC Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 so if we don't win another point this season you will be happy to stick with nigel...do you have a cut off point? if so what is it? where have i said that? If we stay up he'll have proved all of you wrong although i'm sure some of you will still find fault. IF we go down, who's better than pearson to get us back up and have another crack at establishing us in the prem? **** knows what some of you lot were expecting at the start of the season.
