Salieri Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 We are the laughing stock of football! Nah, that's Forest.
CollinsLCFC Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 All Leicester connections then. Lineker is 25-1..
Spicer Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Some people hated him, some people loved him. But he has done our club a whole lot of good. He has taken us from league 1 to the premiership. Thank you Nigel.
Dr The Singh Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This is unconfirmed I assume ?? Yep, but it's not going to stop us!!
pazzerfox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/feb/08/nigel-pearson-sacked-leicester-james-mcarthur-incident Guardian normally pretty good when it comes to us.
mikey54 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Sad, but perhaps inevitable in the world of football. Michael Laudrup might be worth a punt
Babylon Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 If the owners are as ambitious as they make out then I wouldn't be shocked if it wasn't a top up and coming European manager!Who will do the picking? They don't have the knowledge of football to make a decision. Director of football has gone, so they will need advice.
5waller5 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 We won't be playing in the premier league now for a long long time after may. I'm ****ed off. We will be the new laughing stock of football. We are bottom of the league you know??? If anyone is going to laugh at us it may be because of that rather than we have sacked the manager after 2/3rds of the season and being rooted firmly to the bottom?
Kitchandro Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Four games? That's bloody hopeful. If they don't start Albrighton, Kramaric and Ulloa they will be shot at dawn. And rightly so. You'd have to have lost the plot completely not to play our most in form player, our recent record signing and our top scorer by some distance.
Fox92 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Why do you call him arrogant? Do you know him? Have you met him? Or are you going on his pre/post match interviews (which would be a pathetic cop out so I doubt it) They call him arrogant because of his media personality. These people seem to forget the likes of Shankly, Clough, Ferguson and Mourinho all come across as arrogant in the media. They probably aren't in day to day life. We don't know them personally and never will, we just see their media personality. Not everyone wants to be all nice like Sven and Holloway. It's not a requirement of the job.
Webbo Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Wow, can't say I'm not shocked. I thought he'd be gone at the end of the season. I'm really sad, for all his faults I liked the guy.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I'm lost... why give him January and then sack him soon after ? strange decision indeed, this gives us much less chance of survival now
nettle Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Nah, that's Forest. Yeah I think your right my mates a forest fan and I'm always laughing at him. He was the first to text me when he had heard Pearson had gone.
Foxylady64 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 you are definitely a man you massive danger my moneys on dangerous tiger can you put that in English please
smudger63 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Total disgrace from owners I thought were loyal and honest. We have just lost the best manager since O'Neil. New boss likely to lose next 3 league games, the dressing room and the FA Cup match vs Villa. I hope I'm wrong and someone comes in and turns it around however I did hope Nigel would be given the whole season in PL (and 6 games if we happen to get relegated). Dark days again I fear. As opposed to Pearson losing the next 3 games! I think he should have gone before christmas, while there was still a transfer window for a new manager to use, so the timing of his sacking is a little bit strange for me. I`m not sure that his bizarre behaviour yesterday with the Mcarthur incident helped. Add to that his telling the City fan to fvck off and die, and his falling out with radio Leicester, and he certainly hasn`t helped his cause off the field either. Personally, because they have left it so late in the season to do it, i would have kept him until the end of the season, because i don`t believe anyone will be able to save us this late in the day, but i hope i`m proved wrong. First thoughts on who we should have as new manager, i would go for Lennon, but then i`m probably talking with my heart, rather than my head. Who ever it is, he deserves the support of all true Leicester City fans, because no one person is bigger than our football club. I expect radio Leicester may be quite pleased tonight!
BlueSi13 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I expected us to be above sides like Burnley and QPR who we beat out of sight last season. What have the previous 10 years got to do with this season's performance? We don't have those players from all those years ago, we have the team from last season plus this season's signings. We should have been making a much better fist of staying up, no one can argue otherwise. Four points from safety with 42 points left to play for.
DennisNedry Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Awful timing. We should have kept him or if we were to sack him, done it before the transfer window.
nettle Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Four points from safety with 42 points left to play for. Do honestly think Nigel would have kept us up?
FoxinNotts Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 The big question now is, who is going to get the best out of "Nigel's" players? Most of the current squad had a great personal link with Nigel, despite some poor individual performances.
richard80014 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 "Pearsonite" is such a lame term, I often stop reading someones post as soon as I see it. But you still read it and quote on it ......
BlueSi13 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Do honestly think Nigel would have kept us up? With our run in. Yes I think we would have had a damn good shot. But then again three teams have to go down so wouldn't have been distraught if we did, the odds are ALWAYS against the newly promoted sides, especially those that go up as champions the previous year.
catfordfox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 can't help thinking it was leaving kramaric out more than even the macarthur thing which did for him - the owners must be pretty pissed off at spending £9.5m for a sub, then watching players who have failed to put easy chances away all season fail to put easy chances away in a crucial game... Genuinely bit choked at this, i remember what it was like having five managers a season, idiots coming in, spending millions on duds then getting sacked - Nige turned the entire club around, was building for next ten years, bringing good youth players in, setting up one of the best scouting networks in the country He was making some increasingly odd selection decisions though, and was obviously feeling the pressure - but wasn't helped by a team who either made ridiculous individual errors at one end, or missed sitters at the other But the timing is awful. This is Pearson's squad, they love the guy - there's a real risk we'll totally collapse now (whereas a three point gap atm is not unsurmountable). And there are no decent options out there. Cambiasso player manager maybe? Anyway, cheers Nige, appreciate what you've done for Leicester City. I know for a fact from people who have worked at the club during his two times here that he looked out for the whole club, not just the first team - office staff, tealadies etc. Top man, sorry it ended like this.
Collibosher70 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 They call him arrogant because of his media personality.

We don't know them personally and never will, we just see their media personality. Not everyone wants to be all nice like Sven and Holloway. It's not a requirement of the job. very true...apart from the fact that they were very successful managers
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 We won't be coming up again for a few years then. Shame. I don't think Pearson would have done it again Jon; certainly not next season, anyway.
Bugg Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 But you still read it and quote on it ...... No, I stopped reading after I saw "Pearsonite" as I knew it was going to be some boring drivel about how anyone who wasn't frothing at the mouth for him to be sacked was someone who blindly followed everything he did without thinking that he made some terrible mistakes this season (which he definitely did)
