Are we scarred as fans by previous managerial changes?

[tickler28]

I know we all shudder when we remember the managerial merry go rounds at our club that involved Ill choices such as Megson, Holloway, Allen, Sousa and Sven is this what fans are scared will happen again?

I'm just wondering because those backing Pearson still must have some reason other than good for next season. Keep hearing stability banded about.

Southampton did OK when they sacked Adkins

Palace did OK when Holloway left

Sunderland ultimately made the right choice appointing Poyet

Derby did right in similar circumstances ditching Clough

And United made the right decision (to late to save last season) in ditching Moyes

Why can't we be like these?

[Guest Sharpe's Fox]

ffs we want Pearson to stay because we think he is a good manager not because we have deep rooted psychological issues.

Southampton spent a boat load with massive investment in that squad, LVG at Utd the highest spending club in Europe, Poyet a good move, but let's face it, appointing a potato would have been better than PDC... And Holloway was just as erratic as PDC

Can't learn a lot from them, unless you spunk 10s of millions as well and who's to say the previous managers wouldn't have done the same with those funds

I'd be annoyed if Pearson was dispensed with without spending, seeing as he achieved what he did with the comparative one arm behind his back after Sven's spending

He's doing his best to prove that wrong!

He may well be a good championship manager but he hasn't a clue at this level

[cc_star]

He may well be a good championship manager but he hasn't a clue at this level

Well your point hasn't proved anything

PDC & Holloway were just erratic loose cannons so anyone replacing them would have raised their stock.

There was massive unsustainable investment at Southampton and Utd are the biggest spenders in Europe... Whose to say Adkins & Moyes wouldn't have achieved similar results?

Who can we get/who will come who offers more upside than Pearson, but none of the downside of the rest of the clowns we've had or could get?

Personally I'd like to see Pearson actually spend rather than make do as he's had to as the club struggled to achieve FFP post-Sven. Although even my patience is being tried

[LCFC FOX]

Because even if we go down Pearson knows the team best and has the best chance of getting us back up again.

I don't want lots of changes again which makes us an average championship team

[RowlattsFox]

Comparing to other situations is irrelevant. It worked for Sunderland, Southampton and Crystal Palace but didn't for Cardiff, Fulham and Norwich. Also West Brom were lucky after changing their manager.

And IF he gets us back up, what will HE do then that's any different to what HE could have done this time with this massive opportunity that HE has wasted?

You have clearly answered yes to the original question with what you've said

Stick = same old same old Twist = who knows

[Carl the Llama]

Punctuation = rather handy.

[sylofox]

Our fans nearly fvcked of our best manager ever.

 

I really am getting pissed off with this the sooner you lot get your way the better.

But don't moan if we go down anyway.

Don't moan when the new man destroys our squad.

Don't moan when he is sacked

Don't moan when we fail to get promoted

 

And last but not least Don't moan when our club is fvcked and bust and we are back on viccy park.

Record breaking second season after just falling short first time?

And then we do this again? What if we don't go back up?

[johnny the fox]

Where is the list of thousands of times sacking managers hasn't worked for clubs? 

[LCFC FOX]

If pearson struggles in the championship then I'd sack him. I'd personally give him 10 games next season too. He'd of learnt a lesson this season and will spend stronger if he does take us back up again. With the squad he has and what we did last season surely that is likely.

Which Leicester City sackings have been bad sackings? Why would we, as a set of fans, be averse to the idea?

 

In 1987 the sacking of Hamilton led to us climbing out of relegation trouble and having a strong end to the season.

 

In 1991 the sacking of Pleat led to survival, then Little, then the biggest resurgence in the club's fortunes ever.

 

In 2001 the sacking of Taylor came too late if anything. Either way, he was our most disastrous ever manager and fully deserved the sack.

 

In 2006 the sacking of Levein led to us climbing out of the relegation zone and staying up.

 

In 2007 the sacking of Allen came after one of the worst summers of business in our history, and his subsequent career hardly suggests he would have taken us forward.

 

In 2008 we sacked Holloway, who we probably should have sacked earlier, and came straight back up, making us an attractive option for our current owners.

 

In 2011 we sacked Sven, improved on our league placing and ultimately got promoted under Pearson.

 

So which sackings have we been stung by?

 

And who does that leave out? Rob Kelly is quite possibly the only manager who, in the past thirty or forty years of serving p45s, it hasn't been demonstrably a good idea for us to get rid of. And he was hardly an icon.

 

And let's not confuse people calling to fire O'Neill after just eleven games at the club with people calling to fire Pearson, the third or fourth longest serving manager in this division, seventeen games into his fourth season at the club.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

ffs we want Pearson to stay because we think he is a good manager not because we have deep rooted psychological issues.

Dream on geezer; just dream on.

[sylofox]

That is easy to answer.

Filed next to the on that says if you sack your manager you will stop up.

[bovril]

All this hypothesising and comparing to other managers is pointless really. The only real measure for any manager in any sphere is results. Fail to get results and you're out of a job. 2 points out of 36 is atrocious honestly.

Taylor you did not see McLintock destroy a top four placed side to relegation. if you want to make a statement check out facts.

And Holloway don't blame him or any manager that season MM was the fault you can't change managers like he did plus caretakers and stay up.

Any change screws things up how many did we have that season?

Not saying Holloway was good for us at all but really all his fault we went down? lol lol

[DB11]

I want Pearson to stay because he deserves our loyalty after turning our club around and he has proved that, as a club, we are going in the right direction. If we keep Pearson we'll be more than likely able to keep the players if we get relegated, we can strengthen and come back stronger.

 

Change Pearson and it'll be another 10 years in the abyss.

[Collymore]

I never saw Sven as a mistake.

Well you're just wrong, aren't you? The side finished, what, eleventh the year before McLintock took charge? They never finished top four with Bloomfield, except in your imagination.

 

So you're saying we were wrong to sack Holloway, are you? Because my point is that we were right to sack him, not that he was solely to blame for relegation. If you're disagreeing with this point, then it means you feel we should have kept him and never bothered with Pearson in the first place.
