lestuhfox Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 In order of when I started supporting the City I would have O Farrell, Bloomfield, Wallace, Milne, Little and O Neill all above NFP as a better manager. So Pearson and his sorry 9 points out of 60 would be my 7th best City boss.
foxfanazer Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Good for you. Worthy of another Person bashing thread?
Crazy Kop Corner Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Fantastic choices and although I don't go back quite so far (1st manager was Jimmy Bloomfield - 1976 to 1977 for me so not so good) I agree with your choices. O'Neil Wallace Bloomfield Little Milne Pearson would be my order - Wallace 2nd because I was very young and impressionable. He was a larger than life character and it was so exciting following Leicester from 1978 to 1982.
MHC Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 1st O'Neill 2nd Gillies 3rd Bloomfield 4th O'Farrell/Wallace/Milne/Little/Adams/ Pearson (Can't decide between them)
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Matt Gillies by a long mile. MON Bloomfield Wallace O' Farrell
The Horse's Mouth Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Chris Powell, 100% win ratio hasn't been beat
MHC Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Everyone is making lists of our best ever managers so how about a list for our worst? 1st Taylor 2nd Holloway 3rd Pleat 4th McLintock 5th Mcghee

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 O'Neill Wallace Pearson To be fair to NP he is better than most of the managers we have had in the last 30 years Still a billion miles from OGod though
MHC Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Bit harsh on Levein, Kelly, Holloway, Sousa for me, all better than Pearson. NFP should be at least 22nd in the list. Obviously sarcasm but there is no way Rob Kelly should be spoken under the same breath as those other managers. He did a good job under the circumstances.
MHC Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Mine is one, Nigel Pearson. Educate yourself about the history of this great football club and stop being so stubbornly loyal to Pearson. We all know you love him but what is your opinion of the other managers this club has had?
Corky Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Educate yourself about the history of this great football club and stop being so stubbornly loyal to Pearson. We all know you love him but what is your opinion of the other managers this club has had? He only answered the original question which, let's be honest, was only designed to criticise Pearson. Mark is 19, so can barely remember O'Neill, who else is there to class as a favourite? Yeah he can say Bloomfield or Gillies but how can you truly talk about someone you never saw?

I'm aware of the clubs history, but my favourite manager is the one I've seen bring us the most success, pretty obviously.
Harry - LCFC Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 Bit harsh on Levein, Kelly, Holloway, Sousa for me, all better than Pearson. NFP should be at least 22nd in the list. He's probably the worst manager we've ever had come to think of it. Despite that, he's still my fave (I am only young before someone tells me that I need to be "educated").
st albans fox Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 I'm aware of the clubs history, but my favourite manager is the one I've seen bring us the most success, pretty obviously. Can't argue with that! the answer is Bloomfield for me due to the type of player he brought to the club. Some incredible talent in that side for a provincial midlands club. gillies was before my time but he came pretty close to winning the championship, which was rather more laudable I suppose. O'neill amassed a very functional side with a bit of flair but the general idea of get it wide and cross it in was never going to be overly attractive. Clearly our most successful manager.

I know the purpose of the thread, it's all I've been reading for weeks and I'm getting bored of it myself even if I have been vocally anti-Pearson myself recently, I shall keep my opinions on that matter to myself from now on because it has clearly offended certain members of this forum, as a result I am just trying to divert the attention away from Pearson. Can we not have a reasoned discussion about other Leicester managers?

That's fair enough and I'm not trying to irritate you but if you had to name your three best managers (based in what you know) who would they be? You can't include Pearson in your list either just for the sake of curiosity. I'm intrigued to hear your response.
MHC Posted 11 February 2015 Posted 11 February 2015 He's probably the worst manager we've ever had come to think of it. Despite that, he's still my fave (I am only young before someone tells me that I need to be "educated"). Educate yourself young one, our worst ever manager is obviously Peter Taylor.

Can we not have a reasoned discussion about other Leicester managers? The question isn't directed at 'non-Pearson favourite Leicester managers' though, is it? In Mark_W's opinion, Pearson is his favourite manager because he's the only one he's probably seen enough of to form a valid opinion. And there's nothing wrong with that. You can't change the question to suit your own agenda just because someone doesn't say what you want to hear .
