DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Ridiculous timing. If it's something you are remotely considering he should have gone months ago. Thank you for restoring pride in this club, not once, but twice. The managerial merry go round starts again, no doubt the next person will be wanted out after a few months like Nigel was. I have to agree that the timing is astounding. It should have been done at Xmas, or the end of the season
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Owners set us back 5 years by getting rid of him before, and know they have made the same mistake again. He won't come back a third time to clean up their shit again.
MC Prussian Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 'Not having enough time' is not an excuse I want to hear from any cretins on here When, not if, the new manager sends us down. The new manager has plenty of time. You mean one full season and twelve games to work on a return to the Premier League. That's more time some folks on here gave Pearson when he came back for his second stint.
Steven Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 http://news.ladbrokes.com/betting/next-leicester-city-manager-odds I hope this is a joke, please Thai's no more clown managers. 29 October 2011
Richmondfox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Sad that he has gone but more because the club is in the position where it had to happen. His main problem was showing faith to the players that got us promoted, the players haven't stepped up or if they have then the championship is their ceiling. Constantly playing Wes has cost us a lot of points this season. Hopefully Wes, simpson, Konch will never start for us again. Knockaert, Albrighton, Kramric might get a chance now.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Take it Ferguson wasn't up to it either then? After all Manchester United fans were desperate to get him out of the club as soon as they could. This bears no relation to what is happening at the moment. We are bottom of the division and have taken just 9 pts from 19 games. NP has failed to address the most obvious flaws in the team like a left back. He has also chopped and changed too much in formations and personnel. We went up last season with 102 points playing positive football. If we had carried on playing in the same way I believe we would be sitting on a lot more points than we have now. Yes we may have been truly dicked in some games and you can argue that we have not so far this season but no other team that has gone up from the division below with over 100 points has ever struggled before like we are. Changing his philosophies after the first 5 games was wrong as was his inability once again to halt a slide. Thanks for the memories NP but it just is not working any more and half a season is long enough of a chance.
Guest LCFC_World Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 What if this isn't even true.. nothing on the lcfc website and remember what happened with Leeds and mcdermot? Sky said he had been sacked and it was all lies

inckley fox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Mess? HAHA...What mess? Every single season under pearson has been an improvement...even this one. Last year we finished 1st in the championship, we are currently 1 place above that. You are seriously arguing that getting relegated from the PL represents an improvement on getting promoted to it?
stuartn27 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Good Let's move on.hes now part of that word HISTORY

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I said yesterday on another thread that the time had come. The sacking can't give anyone but Stringer any satisfaction. Pearson's achievements at the King Power will always be legendary and he will always be held in the highest regard by City fans. However, yesterday's defeat marked the end of the road. There reaches a point where any manager must run out of ways to try to motivate and improve a continually losing, bottom-of-the- table team. If the club had prolonged the inevitable there would have been a mounting "Pearson Out" campaign, which would have been in no-one's best interest. An excellent post, that really says it all.
Guest LCFC_World Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Good Let's move on.hes now part of that word HISTORY No
Rincewind Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Great now a new manager has to get the confidence and backing of the team.
chrishlcfc Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 no logic behind this at all, even if we go down that doesn't make Pearson a bad manager, what devine right do people think we have to stay in this division. Pearson deserved the whole season to be given the chance to stay up, 95% of people on here agreed with that at the start of the season, nothing has changed we are not cut adrift at the bottom and still had a realistic opportunity to stay up. He should have been given the opportunity even if he took us down, he earnt that chance. Thanks for the great memories Nige, one of the best we have ever had.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Abysmal decision. "Abysmal" Premiership manager, like him or not.
theessexfox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Reasons I'm disappointed with this: - players seem to love him and work so hard for him, a new man has to get this respect - we're virtually down anyway, what chance does a new man have of turning things around with no time for recruitment? - given that we're likely to be relegated, who better to try again than the man who smashed the Championship last year, knows the players, and could learn from his mistakes a second time round in the Premier League (Fergie, for example, failed in his first season) - the other candidates are useless - he was left with the Sven mess and turned us into a respectable club from top to bottom with an amazing year last year and a squad with much more talent and application, whilst on the whole being commendable in all interviews in terms of protecting his players, not speculating on other clubs' players and never blaming a ref
Mayofox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Disheartened. Nige had improved us year on year, and we're not relegated yet. Best of luck to him in the future. Living in Sheffield, he's bound to have noticed that Wednesday have just been bought by a Thai group......
tickler28 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 4 months to late....despite me wanting him gone in November/December ironically I did NOT want this now
Callabinho Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Can you imagine Sheff Wednesday side next year Kasper Drinkwater James Knocky Nugent Tony Adams....
Tom17LCFC Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 fvcking silly decision. well done gents you got what you wanted, utter muppets.
Mike Oxlong Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 When he rolled the dice last summer he thought that a lot of the championship winning squad would handle the step up better than they actually have. It wasn't an unreasonable assumption given just how dominant we were. The consequence was that our recruitment didn't really result in much strengthening. Rather, more of the same quality was brought in meaning that we could only replace mediocrity with mediocrity, we haven't had a recognised best eleven and partnerships haven't been able to develop due to the chopping and changing of the team. Nigel knows it's a results business and when he comes here with a team in the future there'll be no sentimentality on his part. The players don't play for the badge. They play for themselves, their wage and their next contract. Thanks for the good times Nigel but it's probably now the time for everyone to move on.
Foxylady64 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 fvcking silly decision. well done gents you got what you wanted, utter muppets.its the right decision Tom, we are still Leicester City and bigger than the manager
Tom17LCFC Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 its the right decision Tom, we are still Leicester City and bigger than the manager time will tell chap, disheartened by all of this.
