Thrill Bert Fox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Football doesnt run the same way. An engineering firm can still operate without a general manager for an unspecified period of time. A football team cant. I don't see us operating very well at the minute so a caretaker manager at a football club is a pretty regular occurrence and I don't think they could do any worse than our current position - we are bottom of the league after all!
cjslcfc Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Robinson... 5th in league one, 5th in league one, 8th in league one, 10th in league one. With MK Dons, who my Saddlers loving mate tells me have one of the biggest budgets in that league. The bloke is a bookies favourite, he must have the best agent in the world to get linked with every job. Grayson has hardly pulled up trees himself. These types of managers are not outstanding candidates in any shape or form. I'd rather stick with what we have rather than them. Absolutely right on Robinson. Massive budget for League One and it's always the same. Start well and drop off. Remember they were challenging for the play offs when we were there. They are still doing that now even under him!!
shailen Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Do people want us to go back to the days between 2005-2007 where we were sacking and hiring managers, left right and centre. Like I've said before stability is what we need as a club. If we do get relegated, Pearson has to be the best person for the job, given that this is his team and they know how he wants us to play. If we still struggle next season, then sack him. He has done wonders in the past, with poor squads and always turned negative situations into positive situations. Give him the chance to have a full season in this league at least.
HankMarvin Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 What from THIS season do you say, makes Pearson worthy of managing our club? For me any goodwill from last season has been used up for some time. All evidence suggests he is tactically clueless. In August we will be back where we were 2 years before, so to my mind he has failed in that time to take the club forward, in the most important area - in FOOTBALLING TERMS. I think this was quite evident the season we went into free fall from the top 2, sackable record of about 2 wins in 18 from a top 2 position, when the going gets tuff Pearson doesn't get them going
Thrill Bert Fox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Im just waiting for the reaction of the fans who want NP gone when we slide down the divisions to obsecurity because we have lost the best manager we have had for years. Because that what would happen if we got rid. Wow why do so many people think he is the only one for us and fear change. Managers change quite often at football clubs and teams don't all drift into obsecurity. I think a club with the support we have both financially and in the stands along with owners who leave the manager to do their job without interference would attract a number of quality mangers in the close season. As soon as the season is finished and we are relegated we need to plan for the future and bring in a new manger to revitalise the club I have supported for many years now.

If you let him start next season you risk ruining that one as well. Clean break now please.

Benguin Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I like Pearson, but he was abysmal today! What does Albrighton have to do to get a game. This game had him written all over it. I don't get it? Albrighton plays brilliantly and gets man of the match and then gets forgotten about. If I was him I'd be begging to leave. And for f&£k sake, why would you take off Wasyl over the other centre backs! I was a little taken aback and certainly didn't join in with the city fans demoralising chants at the end but they all had a point! I paid £40 including travel and a pint and pie at half time to watch a bunch of utter shite! I could have spent that money on lube to masturbate over Kramaric's goal in the comfort of my own home. Pearson should stay but he needs to stop being so stubborn and playing his mates and not listening to the fans! I'm do mad at him today that I've not bothered to structure this rant with paragraphs or correct grammar.

Give him the chance to have a full season in this league at least.We have accepted he's got the season, we have been patient with him, and he's not improving.Would you take stability with a manager who gets poor results for the majority of the season, and may or may not take us back up next season, seeing though it's took him a few to get us their. Or do you say sod it at the end of the season and say he's not a premiership quality manager, and bring in fresh ideas, who may or may not take us straight up, but if we did go up, could make a better job of it than Pearson. After this season I know which one I would take, but hey ho, that's my opinion, and I don't think Pearson is the only manager in the world, that could do a job at city
blueharmie Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 If Pearson gets hold of Albrighton Mrs he will put her in the Boston crab. That is why Marc doesn't play

There is a reason all the chairmen have pulled the trigger on clubs this season, because they know they are in free-fall and need a new man in to give the players a confidence boost. I can accept low expectation because we are newly promoted, but no one can defend the fact that 1 we had a better squad last year than Burnley 2 its had a significant amount of investment more in both transfer windows. on average we pick up 0.68 points a game , Just to get up with Burnley's tally would potentially take us 5.8 games at the rate rate we have got the previous 17 , if they lost there next 6 that is !!!

Lcfc_1995 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I had supported Pearson when we've been through these bad runs before like in the play off season etc. but today was beyond ridiculous, 1) we played 5 man defence against the lower scorers in England! 2) when we were struggling in the second half he only made one substitution which was poor. 3) he subbed off our best defender and keeps Morgan on. 4) What does Albrighton have to do to get a game?!? He offers a lot more than what schulpp does. But my faith in the manager is starting to turn now with some of the decisions he has made recently

But my faith in the manager is starting to turn now with some of the decisions he has made recently more to the point when you have won just 4 games from 25, why would you drop the keeper that's been involved in 3 of the victory's played 8 won 3 with Hamer as keeper
Fosse93 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I love Pearson but if he was to leave then Martin Jol isn't a bad shout tbf.
HankMarvin Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I love Pearson but if he was to leave then Martin Jol isn't a bad shout tbf. I liked him, but i think this season he has proved himself to be out of his depth and an arrogant knob
cityfanlee23 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I love Pearson but if he was to leave then Martin Jol isn't a bad shout tbf. He is 10x the manager pearson is. I'd have him in a heartbeat. He's shown what he could do keeping Fulham atleast a bit competitive through a mountain of injuries, now look at them.... Ask almost any Spurs fan what they think of him.... Fresh ideas are what's needed
Burbage Fox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 No. Rationale. The only desperate ones that I see are the ones usually quick to jump on the "Pearson out" bandwagon when we haven't played good enough. Like you, for instance. The majority of the time lurking around a particular type of thread. Sorry but do you actually go to the games? I have not missed this season and I have seen a manager and a team that has not learnt a thing all season, in fact you could say that the 2 teams that finished miles behind us have learnt more. Sometimes managers and players reach a level both in aptitude and ability and I am sad to say I think we are at that level with our current one. The lack of substitutions today was a disgrace tactically and the starting formation just gave the impetuous to a woeful Villa team. The formation may have worked at Arsenal but was dreadful choice today. No-one to take his place at the minute but we need to plan for next season and that excludes NP Thanks but times up
Leicesterpool Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Get Steve McClaren in, will he come? well he's doing okay at Derby, but pay him whatever he wants. Of course it didn't work out for him at England and Forest, but lets not forget last time he was in the premier league with Middlesbrough he managed to win them there first cup and got them to a uefa cup final.
Haydos Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 So Pearsonites...can look into your crystal(meth) balls for a moment. He was sacked a week ago. Reinstated. Just say, he's going to be sacked tomorrow. Or next week. Who would you want in? I've offered two strong candidates, Curbishley (who has a proven track record at Prem level) and Lennon (who has CL experience and title-winning record and LCFC roots). Is this serious? Genuinely curious. Curbishly and Lennon?
Voll Blau Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Tell you what lads there's some bangin' "organisation" going on in this thread. NP must be shitting himself at how organised you all are.
Lcfc_1995 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Are there actually any suitable options out there? Or are we going to have to wait until the end of the season when we are possibly down?

Managers in the past, who have been given the chance have done well. Like I've said, if you believe in what Pearson is doing then we may have to suffer a little bit in the short term. The players and the core of our squad is excellent, albeit the defence needs work. We have young, energetic and determined players who will only get better imo. The stats do look bleak, and we havent got the points, I am not even trying to defend that. BUT I look at us and our general play this season, and it's been very good. A new manager may be able to inspire some new belief, but I don't see our general play improving because we have been playing well. Maybe some change is needed for new found confidence and belief, but I don't think we can really improve our general play, just our finishing and cutting out individual mistakes. If someone could do a compilation of all the guilt edge chances we have missed, I'm sure people would appreciate that there isnt much else a manager can do
Buzzell Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Is this serious? Genuinely curious. Curbishly and Lennon? Horrendous candidates.
