Damaging the king power brand

But Pearson Power doesn't pay the bills though does it....

 

Two promotions, the latter of which brought in £90m+ suggest otherwise

...bankrolled by them.

...bankrolled by them.

 

Worked within the confines of previous management's unsustainable overspending to deliver promotion, which way, way, way more than paid back for the couple of £1m-ish signings he made & the free signings he found and moulded into the best 2nd flight team in the club's history

Apparently SSN suggests the dad wanted them gone yet the son intervened and said NO!! They were sacked said their goodbyes and yet 3 hours later were reinstated....bizarre happenings....doesn't seem like they know what to do.....perhaps they reinstated them on a contract with a huge bonus if they keep us up!!! Let's hope so

 

Or perhaps they saw the list of potential replacements and thought fvck this shit is there anybody actually better?

I'm not saying he hasn't done a great job in getting us promoted.

 

I am saying he wouldn't have been able to do it without their financial backing.

If Leicester City is a house, Pearson is the bread winner and then some.

I am saying he wouldn't have been able to do it without their financial backing.

 

Given we were within a kick of the play off final without them (in one season) I'd say he could given time.

you the 1st person to ever say that about oakley. most people didn't rate him in our l1 season yet alone the following year. so we must have watched a different matt oakley.

as for clemence he was never fit and howard. come on. he decided to turn up after relegation. showed next to nothing before that.

that squad was crap. as was most the 5 years before. our club was in a slow decline for years.

 

Matt Oakley would have walked into any League One side. He was named in the PFA team of the year for a start.

 

Clemence obviously wasn't much good due to the career ending injury, but much was expected due to him being named Birmingham's player of the season the year, and they'd just been promoted.

 

Less than a month before Howard joined us, he had scored against Man Utd in the Premiership. Yes, he wasn't great in his first season, but as a team, like you say, we were on the slide.

 

So to sum my point up really, we had more than enough individual quality to stave off relegation that season, but as a team we were absolutely useless.
