BlueSi13 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 If you show me someone who would guarantee a better finish and be able to manage the club as a whole better then please do. Until then i'll continue supporting him. Shame on me eh? This is exactly where the 'PEARSON OUT' argument falls completely on utterly on its face.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION? You vomit out this b0llocks every week for the past 2 years or more yet you've never come up with ANYTHING constructive. I'm sure I won't get a reply to this because you're just a broken record who's age has got the better of him. I am not being paid a couple of million quid a year to solve his problems. Let's change it around then. Has he really earned his money this season? You know the answer as well as I do. You can call me what you like, old bean, you're more than welcome.

BlueSi13 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 1) Because there is no point sticking with a man that is almost certainly taking us down, when we could just move on and appoint someone who might not take us down. There was an argument in December that once we got a win, we would see an upturn in confidence and Nigel would have learnt from his mistakes during that run, as well as being able to bring in the players we needed to stay up. It is now obvious that he hasn't learnt. Our tactics and team selection have continued to be poor and he did not bring in the players we needed (ie left back). The situation has changed, we've given him time and the transfer window and he's failed in both areas, we're not playing well enough and we haven't brought the quality in. It was natural to think Palace at home was last chance saloon considering the matches we've got coming up and how we'd bridged the gap in January. People had hope we might turn it around but we've regressed again - we've had our little run but it's become obvious that that's all it was. And, in a simplified way, the team selection on Saturday summed up why he should go in a way where he's probably topped all of his poor selections from the rest of the season. He buys a £10m striker to drag us out of the mire and then plays Nugent instead who's scored 2 goals. He also leaves Albrighton on the bench again, when surely it was impossible to do so considering he'd left him out after a MOTM performance once and then came off the bench to create a goal the previous week and look by far our most dangerous player on the day. Any manager would look a fool after those decisions. Saturday was the final straw for me, it all boiled up and all of Pearson's errors chemically reacted together in an explosion of failure, just when we needed a result most of all. A win would have closed the gap significantly but a 3rd appalling (league) performance in a row, and this time at home to a relegation rival, puts us adrift again. That's why it made sense. I, and possibly someone at the club, thought he might turrn it around at one point but by the time Saturday night came he'd cnged his mind. It makes perfect sense to me. WHO?? I'm sure that's the same argument Wolverhampton Wanderers had, Let's just get somebody, anybody that might keep us in the Premier League. Instead they bombed down the leagues so fast they broke the sound barrier.

You know the answer as well as I do. You can call me what you like, old bean, you're more than welcome. thats like asking if a player has earnt his wages in a game when only 70 minutes has been played

Again you've managed to avoid having a discussion and again you've swerved my point. a) It's not just about this season. b) It's about who would be better to replace him.
Guest Col city fan Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Why are people so concerned about who would be better to replace Nigel Pearson? I suggest Palace fans are rubbing their hands in glee just now, acquiring Pardew, having just won quite a few games and having beaten us. West Brom fans will be happy also. Irvine was rubbish. Pulls isn't. In spite of all the criticism he's had on here, he's a proven and an experienced manager. I think they'll be safe. Would Villa fans really care if Lambert got the chop? The one manager punching above his weight is actually Sean Dyche. Again, lambasted on here which says more about this forum than it does about Sean Dyche. Sometimes a change is what a club needs. It gives a new approach and a freshening up of ideas. Sometimes it doesn't work. For me, this is why even the Thais seem torn. They know that Pearson is making a series of errors, but don't know whether to stick or twist. Both have equal creedance. Somebody like Lennon could come in and do what he's done at Bolton. Conversely he might not. No-one knows. I think it's just too late. We stick now and live with whatever consequences come.
nettle Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 This is exactly where the 'PEARSON OUT' argument falls completely on utterly on its face. I bet when we first appointed Pearson you didn't want him here? Was his track record any good before us no I don't think it was. I think it was luck more than judgement who says we can't get lucky again.

Pardew went to Palace who are a semi-established Premier League club with a squad that's superior to quite a few clubs below them. Pulls went to West Brom who are an established Premier League club with a squad that's superior to quite a few clubs below them. Neither would have gone to us, Burnley or QPR in my opinion. I also like how this Pardew love-in has started now. A decent honeymoon at Palace and suddenly he's one of the best managers in the country.

Maybe it's because Pardew wanted to go there and maybe it's because he put the Newcastle management under pressure to release him from his contract? How do you know what the Thais think? Do you have a direct line or are you simply guessing wildly? Again, there's no other alternative out there who'd want to come here at this moment in time and the best occasion has already passed by. It's an unthankful job trying to rectify things with a transfer window already gone and only 14 games to tick off the list. It's all a guessing game whether or not it'll work out. At present, I have a better feeling about this club with Pearson in charge than with anybody else available. And let's face it - the alternatives look bleak. Also, you make me laugh. You continue with your constant swerving and claim to take it "one game after the other", leaving all possibilities open. Now you're saying "it's too late". Which one is it, Colin? Make your mind up. And finally face your demons.

I think it was luck more than judgement who says we can't get lucky again. I was quite pleased with his appointment actually. Considering we'd just been relegated to League One and looked like a club that was sinking without trace, I was delighted to get a youngish manager with a great reputation as a coach and had impressed as a manager by keeping Southampton up (at our expense).
tickler28 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Good post...Pearson is a class A **** and will not turn this round....never could in my opinion... how he has kept his job I'll never know.....in answer to the question who would be better.......anyone!!!!

And I said its too late to replace Pearson. If we did, we'd give no other candidate much chance to turn it round. Frame that, my friend. Also, it is incredible that you don't get banned from the forum, at least for a while. Being an ex mod, do you get favourable treatment? You are so provocative. I think its jobs for the boys on here. It certainly seems that way.

Sick of all the people who think Pearson can do NO wrong. He's dragging our club down.....yes he WAS good last season or was it the players that did it?? Either way the guys out of his depth and so are the players HE has placed faith in

BlueSi13 Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Really name just one who is available and would be interested. You can't. Well he said anybody so let's get on it, somebody call John ****ing Gregory ASAP! Would Neil Lennon not be interested? If not, why not? What has he done to warrant being linked with us? Apart from being an ex-City player?

Apart from being an ex-City player? That's not what was being asked. We were asked to name one. I did name one. Why wouldn't Neil Lennon want to return to Leicester as a manager in the Premiership? If you can give me a concrete answer, then fine.
NewburyFox Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Why are people so concerned about who would be better to replace Nigel Pearson? Because the odds are, Pearson or not, we will be relegated this season. Then we could be stuck with a manager who doesn't know how to get out of the Championship and wants a huge change of playing staff rather than a manager who (despite his failings this season) has a bloody good track record there and would have roughly the same squad that he managed to 102 points in the Championship. The time to sack him has long gone IMO, with no good alternative on the horizon (Lennon is unproven in a competitive league) we may as well stick with him now, even if we go down, and give him a good chance of getting us back up.
nettle Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 Sorry, I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make here? There are other manager's out there that could do as good a job as Pearson has done. You keep going on about Pearson's the only guy that can manage the club I honestly think Lennon could do just as well if given the half a chance.
adam Posted 9 February 2015 Posted 9 February 2015 If we get relegated this season Pearson doesn't deserve another chance in the championship. We need to move him on and start again. Get Lennon in the summer.
