GaelicFox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 People want Pearson to stay for the rest of their lives. People don't give a **** if we get relegated. Nice ambition people. 10 years this took us and lot's of people seem remarkably 'glad' to wave goodbye to it and declare they don't give a **** because in Nige we trust. Sad, sad, sad. Very sad. This Pearson obsession is creepy. I don't give a **** whether Pearson stays or goes, I actually give a **** about WiNNING football matches and playing TOP FLIGHT football. Some people have got really weird with this Pearson business. Literally ANY OTHER PERSON with Leicester in this position would have been slated. I reakon ISIS should sign Pearson up. SECRETPRO ...ignore them They are seriously mental
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 you lost me at "we played really well today"...
bovril Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Where has all this 'divine / god given right' nonsense come from? If fans dislike the manager it means we think Leicester have a 'God given' right to stay in the Premiership?!? What was the bloody point in getting up here in the first place?
inckley fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 here here to the OP, Pearson is trying to build something here (hence all the good young players for the u21s) so he is also thinking of the future This is our oldest side, and one of our oldest squads, since Adams. And the average age of our line-ups places us among the oldest sides in the Premier League too. We did. First half especially. We didn't make our superiority count, obviously, which is gutting, but we did play well. No, we just didn't. How low is the bar nowadays? Can anybody get under it, let alone over it?
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 We did. First half especially. We didn't make our superiority count, obviously, which is gutting, but we did play well. Yawn yawn yawn same old story every week (not picking on you) Pearson has to go, proven to be completely out of his depth. People can't see the wood from the trees, when exactly are we going to improve?
johnny the fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 And the idea that someone would come in now and keep us up is equally blind, and if they didn't keep us up would they do any better at getting us back up. So I would rather stick with a manager who has proven to improve us year on year, tactically improved year on year and generally runs the football club in the right way. Where did I write sack him now? its tragically past that now Im afraid.. but the idea he will get us up next season because he has done it before is blind faith..a major rebuilding job will need to be done in the close season because lots of players will want out. lets be honest, he bungled this close season big time , that was with a winning squad,
lgfualol Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Interesting to see all the foxestalk power users turn on Pearson.
johnny the fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 We did. First half especially. We didn't make our superiority count, obviously, which is gutting, but we did play well. sorry mate , what you consider playing well and what I consider playing well must be two different things .. our ball "management" was shight... the decision making was worse.. I lost count how many times we gave up possession cheaply ... we started off in second gear and struggled to get out of it.
fleckneymike Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Judging by this thread I take it we're no longer bottom of the league having taken 9 points from the last 57 available
johnny the fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Interesting too see all the foxestalk power users turn on Pearson. well im not sucking his cock just to please you mate.
steveherbe Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 We did. First half especially. We didn't make our superiority count, obviously, which is gutting, but we did play well. Sorry mate, disagree, we were woeful from start to finish. Hoof hoof and more hoof, unless Riyad has a run. Once Palace scored it was all over. Never felt so depressed at a game, just knew we would never score. Oh well, championship next year
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Where did I write sack him now? its tragically past that now Im afraid.. but the idea he will get us up next season because he has done it before is blind faith..a major rebuilding job will need to be done in the close season because lots of players will want out. lets be honest, he bungled this close season big time , that was with a winning squad, I didn't say you did, but the alternative viewpoint is that someone else would be more equipped to keep us up and if not get us back up. I don't think 'lots will,' mainly because so few of them have adapted to this league. I can see Kramaric, Mahrez and Kasper going, all of which are replaceable. I agree the main problem was the lack of incomings, but as I said in a previous thread that wasn't want of trying. He has said he has missed out on a fair few players, and that's because we aren't a big club in terms of our status, location, history etc and we won't pay ludicrous wages. I'm sure at the end of last season Pearson would have written a much longer list of players that he wanted than he actually got.
dogadug Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 If we go down, so be it. Pearson more than anyone else stands the best chance of getting us back up
Donut Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 It appears the criteria having a good manager is one that is good in the league below in case of relegation. Smart ploy because this seasons been a shambles.
lgfualol Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 well im not sucking his cock just to please you mate. Haha calm down for one second there. I dont care if you like him or not, I was merely stating my observation.
inckley fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I genuinely cannot understand how people can defend the man, when he consistently makes the same mistakes week in week out. He doesn't know what his best squad is and his tactics are totally inept for the Premier League. We are rock bottom and we look poor against the likes of Palace. We are in an absolutely dire situation and all Pearson is interested in is holding grudges with radio stations, getting into spats with fans and now opposition players. What morals are you referring to exactly? Ive given Pearson more than enough chances to prove himself. We can barely scrape an occasional point. He will relegate us. Get rid. The problem is that support for Pearson has become emotional; he's been a good servant, he loves this club, he was good in League One, good (though by no means exceptional) in the second tier, he throttled a Palace player, he told a fan to f*** off and die, he hates that reporter we all hate... there is virtually no sound argument left that a club which wants to establish itself in the Premier League should need a manager like Pearson. The best people can do is argue that, when he gets us relegated, he'll probably be alright again. That is one of the most unambitious attitudes ever known among a set of fans, even the likes of Blackpool and Huddersfield would hope for better than that. It's the sort of thing I'd expect from a Rotherham fan, but not a Leicester fan. Support for Pearson had to be based on a justifiable belief that he could establish us as a Premier League side. If you don't believe that any more, then why on earth would you be so passionate in wanting him in charge? If we fire him now and stay up, we'll still come to see him as a decent manager. Or we can hang on to him forever in the hope that he suddenly gets better, just like we could have held on to Taylor or Levein or Holloway or Sven and hoped that they suddenly learnt. It boils down to what you want for your club. If you want them to be a Premier League club then there's next to no reason to be behind Pearson, and absolutely no reason to be so frenzied in your support of the man. I backed him until today. A combination of the appalling arguments proposed by so many others in favour of him staying, and the increasingly unavoidable reality that he's not actually all that good, have changed that. And long, long before that it was clear - with the benefit of hindsight - that we should have fired him months ago.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Brilliant - I wonder if (hope) you clowns will still be supporting Nige when he's at Darlington - I'm Leicester me, he aint good enough, bring on someone who is NOW Sorry what now? And all these years I thought you were a Tricky Tree undercover?

There is way too much "We want him next season in the championship to get us promoted again" on this forum. Why have we resigned ourselves to that fate already? With the right leadership, we can still survive. People seem to think NP is some sort of god with the power of instant promotion. Well, he isn't and the chances are we wont see the EPL again for a fair few years if we go down. NP has done some wonderful things for the club in the past, but we need to look to the future. Time to put the sentimental crap to one side and do what is right for the club. We are going nowhere but down under him.
johnny the fox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 I didn't say you did, but the alternative viewpoint is that someone else would be more equipped to keep us up and if not get us back up.

I feel a bit sorry for the owners.. they have been let down by the footballing side management,.
Kitchandro Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 Look, I really respect Pearson, I'm grateful for what he's done for us overall. But his time has passed. We're not moving forwards with him in charge and it's time for some fresh ideas. And that's coming from someone who hates DT, seenitall and anyone else who has clearly had an anti-Pearson agenda for years.
GaelicFox Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 sorry mate I don't buy it ...excuse the pun..we couldn't of been more well equipped as a club ..no club going up to the premiership in my living memory had a better base to work from... I feel a bit sorry for the owners.. they have been let down by the footballing side management,. I agree all the footballing execs will be looking over THIER shoulders and Pearson is done for if the main exec gets a panic developing Personally I think he is having a nightmare NP, no alternative manager about unless Harry's knee recovers over night , so NP should stay now and see if he can sort This out
mattsmith74 Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 As far as I'm concerned today was the tipping point. Palace have shown what can happen when you change your manager. For Pearson to drop Kramaric and not put him on for 70 minutes and then comment afterwards on our lack of clinical finishing is an absolute joke. Made him look utterly ridiculous.

Peepingtom Posted 7 February 2015 Posted 7 February 2015 When Pearson leaves here, and he will eventually, there are going to be fans on here that need grief counselling! NAh they can just **** off and support which ever club he takes over when he does get sacked,which surely must be soon,season is over I'm half wishing we lose every game now so he goes quicker and mark w can find a new club
