Pearson sacked - Not just yet.

Recommended Posts

Posted

Gotta say I'm a little shocked with the timing of his sacking.

Being bottom of the league and constantly being reminded of 'fine margins' was wearing thin but with only 4 points away from safety and giving him the transfer window, this announcement seems a little odd.

Would like to hear the real reason for sacking and hope club don't announce a standard statement with no info- was it the McCarthy incident? Poor Team/Tactics, Somethinf happened behind scenes or has the owners got someone else in line?

Personally would love to see MON back even on deal till end of season. Hope we don't get someone in like Warnock who will wreck the team/club

Have a read of SydenhamFox at 7.05pm. Good post, pretty much got it in a nutshell.

'Legend' has become a term used too easily these days. Pearson is not a LCFC legend, he's been a very good manager for this club, up to a certain level. Promotion from L1 was not difficult and if you remember was helped a lot by Manderic's backing -  allowing Pearson to keep any of the championship players he wanted and not just sell them off (yes, we were awful during the relegation year, granted). The Championship campaigns under Pearson we sometimes very good and sometimes pretty ordinary.

Since the summer, unfortunately Pearson has shown his hand in two damaging ways; a) his player recruitment has been poor (we needed 4 or 5 key signings to strengthen areas of the team that you could anticipate would be lacking at Prem level - and he just didn't do this in the summer and b) he didn't learn and develop as a Prem manager during the course of the season. It was all a bit samey and easy for the opposition to get the better of us.

Personally, I think the more we struggled, the more he seemed to want to give off this macho bravado, demonstrated in his rather pointless and foolish display with the Palace player on Sat. That moment, summed it up, as did his completely unneccesary refusal to communicate with our local radio station. Whatever you might think about the RL presenters etc, as a manager, you have a professional duty to work with local media to communicate with fans. This is just standard in modern sport, in an age of social media and 24 hour coverage. His actions penalised the fans, not the radio station.

Martin O'Neill can be classed as a legend here. He did not build a team that lumbered at the bottom of the Prem after he got us promoted, far from it. Jimmy Bloomfield, another possible candidate for this accolade given the fantastic side he put together here. Arthur Rowley, absolutely a legend . . . and so on. Nigel Pearson?? No.

Pearson is a legend.

 

 

As far as I am concerned, this squad has far more potential than any in the O'Neill era.

 

 

We just needed time.

He walked out before when he felt he wasn't wanted.

 

He felt undermined, i assume most would leave in those circumstances.

BOLLOCKS!  So they only played for Pearson, and not the club? Are you on drugs?

You repeatedly undermine the whole pro-Pearson argument with nonsense like this.

Still haven't read any news article confirming this.

 

As it stands, it's merely a rumour. Right?

 

Personally, I hope it's a very sick joke.

Regardless of where we are now, we can still push for a decent finish.

 

The timing of this sacking would be horrific. Which manager can turn it around in this short period of time? Whom have the owners lined up then?

Who realistically would want to come here?

 

So, still counting the minutes and hours until this story is debunked... lol

Radio 5 report that Pearson left YESTERDAY after having a meltdown post-match.
