Corky Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Sadly missed the hilarity of eggs flying in the faces of Col, DT, Mark, Seenitall and co due to my temporary ban. But I watched and cried with laughter. Still have no idea what's going on really, and very disappointed to see the circus that it resulted in today. It's not helped by the fact that I think the club, or at least someone high up at the club, is probably responsible. But I am delighted Nigel is still in charge for the time being, long may it continue. He's a very talented manager, who obviously isn't without his faults, but I'm confident that he'll be a very good Premier League manager before his career is out whether it's with us or someone else. We clearly need something to turn this season around and hopefully this shambles can have a positive impact. The biggest Pearsonite ever got banned? Well, there goes the theory that you can only be positive on this forum.
Mark_w Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 There's no need for that Mark. I'm trying to be civil with you. You need to be careful or you'll recieve another temporary ban. Please don't put me in the same category as Seenitall and DT. My posts are not as one sided as they appear to be. Take care. It was very tongue in cheek Col, meant to be like your interactions with Mattp earlier on but obviously the tone didn't come across.
Guest Col city fan Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 It was very tongue in cheek Col, meant to be like your interactions with Mattp earlier on but obviously the tone didn't come across. I don't think it's fair to categorise me in that same bracket mate. At least I try to put across an argument. Or I think I do. Sometimes it comes out as guff, but it's intended to create at least some discussion.

I'm not saying you're carbon copies of one another, I'm saying you were enjoying the events of last night when it looked like he was gone and I enjoyed it reversing very quickly. You're reading far too much into it. But I'm sorry if I've offended you.

You're reading far too much into it. But I'm sorry if I've offended you. You've not and I think that's fair enough mate. And you're right, I laffed at the timing of Matt P's post, then really did get egg on my face. Big time. Cest la vie. I'm not going to cry about it (again, no dig intended).
Corky Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Why'd you get a little ban Mark? His usual personal insults against the manager I'd think.
seenitall Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 I don't see it as egg on my face - I was relieved when I heard he had gone as I think we are due someone better and more in tune with the Premier League or with better tactical knowledge or the ability to attract decent players - alas we now have to wait for the change, which I assume will be quite soon now. Those who believe NP is still the messiah are entitled to their view of course but I'm afraid nothing he has done this season at all has convinced me that he has what it takes. Come on Leicester, do the right thing and get this show back on the road
Mark_w Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Why'd you get a little ban Mark? I told someone to f off, either the owners (sorry - to one of you anyway - maybe) or somebody enjoying Pearson's dismissal.
cityfanlee23 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Pearson stated he's spoken to the players with regards to events of yesterday, I'd think if the group are as close knit and happy with each other as they all claim to be, this should be a real wake-up call to those players, 150% or less and they don't deserve to wear the shirt tomorrow. If they want to keep their manager, regardless of what formation we play, they need to show their commitment in the challenge and need conformity. Time to shine.
Jakemoore Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 So I've just listened to the podcast from Mondays football forum. A few fans seem to think that Nigel Pearson should listen to us, the fans. One particular fan by the name of Pamila claimed he should listen to us because we are the club. I can see the argument that without fans, there would be no Leicester City FC. But, why on earth should Nigel Pearson listen to us? Why should he care? What do we actually know about football? I have my opinions just like the rest of us and I have been frustrated by Nigel Pearsons team lineups and tactics just as much as the rest of you but realistically, whatever Nigel thinks is right should go. He is the manager of Leicester City Football Club. He can do as he pleases. He has earnt that right. None of us fans have played professionally or managed professionally so why should we not just support him? For God sake, just get behind the man. He's here for now, and that's how it is.

If listening to fans means he drops Konchesky, doesn't play Vardy on the wing, devotes some serious time to coaching set pieces and spends all his transfer money on players he intends to play, then I'm all for it.
Max Power Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 I needed Robbie Mustoe to truly make sense of this crazy situation. Thanks Robbie mate.

You must do because you clearly know how the team should be set up....
inckley fox Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Do you often take first team training then? You must do because you clearly know how the team should be set up.... You don't win points for taking first team training, sadly. Ask O'Neill, he hardly ever took it. And ask Claridge and Walsh, they were two of the worst players we've had on the training ground, if some are to be believed. They were pretty good on the pitch, though. And, you see, that's where Pearson's struggling at the moment. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Konchesky has been a rip-roaring success at left back, and it worked out well playing Vardy on the wing. Maybe, in spite of not scoring a single goal in either of the games he chose not to play Kramaric, and us having the second worst attack in the league, Pearson has been successful in finding the right blend up front.

I agree, konchesky has been dog shite. He's been awful for the last two seasons. But maybe nigel tried to sign a left back in the summer, maybe Terry Robinson didn't allow him the cash to do so. We just don't know. But what we do know is that he is all we have got. Playing vardy on the wing had the potential to work but it didn't. But I wouldn't question Nigel Pearson because he sees the players train, he knows their strengths and their weakness'. We are all entitled to our opinion but we shouldn't expect our teams manager to listen to it, that's all I'm saying....

There are 28k fans in the ground on matchday. Who does he listen to? We're there to support, encourage, even complain when things are going wrong but if a manager took advice and made decisions based on a few fans opinions you'd wonder what they were doing.
Ian Haggarty Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Nigel Pearson got us promotion when he first came to the club. He got us promoted back into the championship in his 1st year. For that I am eternally gratefull to him. He is a legend for doing that. He then came back and took us to the premiership. With the most points and goals scored in a season for the club. I am estatic that he did that. He should always be remembered as a legened for doing that. He is a fantastic Championship manager. But just like the players who play each week. Some are premiership quality, some are Euro league quality. But not all are!!! Nigel Pearson is not a premier league manager. At running the risk of hearing from the idiots who want to turn this forum into their own personal agenda site i would like to make the following points: Stoke lost an experienced premier league manager and replaced him with a similar person. Crystal Palace lost the ex stoke manager and replaced him with a similar person. Southampton lost their manager but replaced him with a similar kind. All of the managers except one had premier league experience. The one that did'nt had European experience and was a brilliant player?? The ex Stoke and Crystal Palace manager is now at West Brom and so far is doing a pretty good job? So my question to the Owners of our team is this: At what point do you realise that the signings that Nigel Pearson has put together do not work??? At what point do you look at "Premier League Quality" I may have writen some less than pleasing things about our players. But I never at any point previous suggested that our current manager be sacked!! Last weeks game was a great improvement from what we as supporters have had to put up with. At least there were more than 3 or 4 passes on the ground and we seemingly did try to play through midfield. So it appears the team can perform to a point. But Nigel where is "THE FOX IN THE BOX" A centre forward is just that "in the centre of the goalmouth" Have a look at all of our games in open play this season and tell me this? In open play how many players have we had in the box at any given time? How many forwards were within 3 feet of the goal during play?? Answer is about 5 or 6 times. Nigel Pearson has now finaly decided that our defence needs fixing?? Well done mate!! Blind freddy could have told you that 10 weeks ago. To those out there who think I am just on the "Bandwagon" to get our manager sacked i say this: 63 years of watching and supporting our team (Never once thinking of supporting anyone else) gives me the right to express my views. I am loathed to say we need a new manager after what Nigel Pearson has done for our club. But I am sure that if one of our players was not performing to his expexted level Nigel would get rid of him? In all my years of support we have never had the same oportunity that we have now. The Owners have money to promote the club? The owners have a passion for the club? But the owners need to quickly learn the responsibility of owning our club? If the truth be told most realistic "Foxes" supporters would settle for being 8th or 10th in the premier league year in year out. We would be over the moon if we won a Cup or beat any of the top 4 teams. Our expectations would be hightened our faces would have more smiles on them and our hearts would be lifted. Changing managers at this point is not going to stop us from going down. So lets just enjoy the rest of the season and look forward to a speedy return. Reality is something us foxes fans do not relate to very easily. We are the eternal optimists, We always think we will get out of the situation we are in. We are the team every other club hates to play against. We have a never say die attitude. That's why as "FOXES FAN" I always say "Maybe next year"
cc_star Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 At what point do you judge, now... end of season, current form? If you're judging him now or on current form (past 6 games), he's doing better than most around us in the table, we've also beaten direct rivals in Hull & Villa, the latter of whom look doomed and we're recently doing better than media darlings Burnley & the Premier League experience of Pulis at West Brom & Poyet at Sunderland however, it's far from working out great for us and it's going to be incredibly tough to get out of it, but considering our run-in, it's entirely in our hands, I genuinely think we're good enough to finish around 14th but tactically we're not consistant, hence our struggles to rise above the other teams who aren't really any better than us and on recent form are worse

Happy Fox Posted 10 February 2015 Posted 10 February 2015 Nigel Pearson kept his job as Leicester boss after farcically being told he was sacked but then later reinstated over the phone by the club’s Thai owners. MirrorSport understands chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who was at the 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend, initially phoned boss Pearson on Sunday to say he would be replaced. But Srivaddhanaprabha was later persuaded by his son Aiyawatt, also known as ‘Top’, to reinstate the 51-year-old. Aiyawatt was in Bangkok, Thailand, with Leicester’s chief executive Susan Whelan on club business. Aiyawatt spends more time at the King Power Stadium than his dad and has stood behind Pearson during previous lows, including when the manager appeared to tell a Leicester fan heckling him to “f*** off and die” in December. MirrorSport understands the Thai ownership reversed their decision when they realised they had no outstanding candidate lined up to replace Pearson.

I wondered where you had gone, you naughty lad. I never thought I'd see the day, but it proves you are human, like the rest of us.
