hackneyfox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 nugent wood and vardy won us the league by miles last year. if we were to sell both ulloa and kramaric that'd be at least 10 million for this scouting network to splash on a new striker or two. albrighton, schlupp, possibly knockaert and in our wildest dreams mahrez are all wingers who either will or may well be here next season. the back four needs replacing? who? hamer in goal, de laet and simpson will both stay, moore will be able to learn more of the trade in the championship, morgan will still be here and has proven over ten years to be one of the best cbs in the championship, was might be offski, upson was brighton's player of the season in the championship and i doubt he'll be receiving many premier league offers. konchesky will probably stay and we'll hopefully add a new left back as competition. as for the last line just . you talk such utter bollocks. who would sign for a premier league team? are you out of your mind? absolutely anyone who wants to play in the premier league would join us. why would king leave? why would drinkwater? why would anyone leave if we keep pearson unless they get premier league offers, which they clearly aren't going to because they're all so bad? Albrighton won't stay after the way he's been treated this season, did you see his wife's tweet.As for absolutely anyone who wanted to play in the PL signing for us well I'm not sure about that after this seasons epic fail. Any agent would surely advise signing for a team that may get promoted and actually make a fist of staying up.
Webbo Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Sigh... stop chucking out nonsense like this. He's been here about three years, Walsh was known by us to pick up good players long before he arrived. If you'd read the articles of his on Sky you would not he was just one cog in the machine. So why didn't Spurs branding Walsh.
Robin JD Popley Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 No if he's still here. Have a chance if he goes. Depressing that the majority of us now know what is going to happen and I still blame him as much as the players for letting us down. Especially after yesterday - a real chance to give us something to smile about... One sub. ONE?!?
Babylon Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Wood and Hamer that's another 2 who'll want to leave. Hammond isn't getting any younger either. Good job they are under contract then eh.
hackneyfox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Nugent will be a year older and less likely to deliver. What did Wood actually do last season? Vardy was hardly the best striker in the division, where did he come in the scoring tables? Good job they are under contract then eh.Come on Babylon you know you should never keep a player who wants out.
Babylon Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 So why didn't Spurs branding Walsh. I'm not sure what you mean by branding. Because they have a head of recruitment and not a stats department? Because they read his articles on Sky and thought, ooooh we've not thought of this. We don't know anyone else so we'll get that guy? I don't know, I don't know spurs. It's all there in black and white in his articles. I'm not just making shit up, go and read them all.
ScouseFox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Hamer is going to a third choice Championship keeper? He's better than that. i'd be amazed if kasper stays and schwarzer plays. he'll be fighting to be first choice in a top end championship team. he won't get a better offer than that. Albrighton won't stay after the way he's been treated this season, did you see his wife's tweet. As for absolutely anyone who wanted to play in the PL signing for us well I'm not sure about that after this seasons epic fail. Any agent would surely advise signing for a team that may get promoted and actually make a fist of staying up. no agent is going to advise their client against joining a premier league team for a decent sum based on the fact we didn't do very well a few years previous. what a crazy thing to claim. lcfc: "hello agent X we'd be interested in taking your player from a championship team where he's performed pretty well this season, now we're in the premier league. you'll obviously get a cut of a very nice signing on fee, so will your client, and he'll be playing regular premier league football in the richest and arguably best league for him in the world. his career really starts now." agent X: "woah, woah, woah, didn't you finish bottom two seasons ago?! i'll be telling my man to stay at blackburn in the championship thanks."
Webbo Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 based on...? or are you just making things up? Hamer 's been dropped for a 42 year old for no good reason and Wood can't get a game. Why would they they want to play for a manager who obviously doesn't rate them?
Max Power Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 i'd be amazed if kasper stays and schwarzer plays. he'll be fighting to be first choice in a top end championship team. he won't get a better offer than that. Not sure who would come in for Kasper. His agent can link him to Real Madrid all he wants. And I'm amazed Schwarzer is playing now but the manager thinks otherwise...
Webbo Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 I'm not sure what you mean by branding. Because they have a head of recruitment and not a stats department?

Babylon Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Come on Babylon you know you should never keep a player who wants out. And who knows who will want out, nobody has a clue. It's just bloody doomsday on here again with people throwing every name into the hat of people who will go without a clue. We could potentially field the same team as this season for all we know barring one or two.
MHC Posted 16 February 2015 Author Posted 16 February 2015 Why is it? You were specifically talking about promotion from the Championship to the Premiership. So if you're looking for a man with experience of galvanising a team in the champ and getting them promoted, then we already have one. It's one of the most compelling reasons to keep him. Well according to some we'll have no players left, so he can buy a new lot who have a better mind set can't he. 17 points from 25 games is inexcusable and quite frankly, embarrassing. Pearson deserves the sack for this season alone. There is nothing to suggest that we are doomed without him.
smudger63 Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 i'd say this season he's failed, but the first season he came back (well, he started in november) he failed to get us up which was his objective, and the season after that he failed once more. but we learnt, we added what was missing and we came back stronger. that could well happen again, no? everyone wanted him gone after barnsley 2013 but we stuck with him and came back stronger. could that not happen again? just because someone comes up short once it's no reason to just cast them aside forever, surely. millions of managers don't get it right first time round. most aren't given a chance to go again. but some who are get it right second time with experience and time. unfortunately this isn't looking like a situation where he will be given time and a second chance, which i'd say is a shame but on we go. we all support leicester not the manager at the end of the day. if he goes, he goes. i'll be disappointed but that's that. So what your saying is, we give him the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best!Fantastic!
ScouseFox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Gamer 's been dropped for a 42 year old for no good reason and Wood can't get a game. Why would they they want to play for a manager who obviously doesn't rate them? why didn't wood leave in the summer and in january when numerous clubs wanted him? who is going to offer hamer better than what we will should we go down, most likely selling kasper? i find it odd that pearson doesn't seem to rate hamer but i doubt he'd leave unless a premier league offer came in for him, or unless he was clearly told he wouldn't be playing, in which case why are we bothered if he leaves? if he's not going to play it doesn't make a difference.
ScouseFox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 So what your saying is, we give him the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best! Fantastic! no. i'm saying building a team and a squad and successful one at that takes time. has sacking a manager ever actually worked out for us in the last 10 years of attempting to get back up? or has sticking with the best one we've had in that time (in fact even getting rid and then getting him back) brought us most success, despite some crushing blows along the way?
hackneyfox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 i'd be amazed if kasper stays and schwarzer plays. he'll be fighting to be first choice in a top end championship team. he won't get a better offer than that. no agent is going to advise their client against joining a premier league team for a decent sum based on the fact we didn't do very well a few years previous. what a crazy thing to claim. lcfc: "hello agent X we'd be interested in taking your player from a championship team where he's performed pretty well this season, now we're in the premier league. you'll obviously get a cut of a very nice signing on fee, so will your client, and he'll be playing regular premier league football in the richest and arguably best league for him in the world. his career really starts now." agent X: "woah, woah, woah, didn't you finish bottom two seasons ago?! i'll be telling my man to stay at blackburn in the championship thanks." Blackburn haven't looked like getting promoted for some time now so hardly a good example.Choice between say McLaren or NFP?
Corky Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 If we return to the style that saw us promoted then we've got a great chance, we should overwhelm teams especially at home. But all the shenanigans off the field and the turn against the manager from the stands will make next season very unpleasant should we start slowly. Then we have the issues if we get promoted about this season and Pearson's capabilities. I can see the logic for thinking we'll get back up with Pearson but he has to be pretty faultless on and off the pitch and I can't see it.
Babylon Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Pearson deserves the sack for this season alone. At what point did it become the norm to sack a manager for not keeping a newly promoted team up? There is nothing to suggest we wouldn't be fairly decent under him next season.
Webbo Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 no. i'm saying building a team and a squad and successful one at that takes time. has sacking a manager ever actually worked out for us in the last 10 years of attempting to get back up? or has sticking with the best one we've had in that time (in fact even getting rid and then getting him back) brought us most success, despite some crushing blows along the way? Sacking Sven didn't work out too bad.
kingfox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 This season his past successes are irrelevant, get relegated and keep him then his past successes become relevant again. We will lose some players, but I can see most of the squad remaining, and on paper we would have an excellent Championship standard squad. You look at this season though and on paper, you could say Cardiff and Wigan have pretty strong squads for Championship level; however both of which have looked poor this season. Come next season and if he is still here, he will have to install confidence back in the side, he did it when we lost to Watford in the play-offs, but if we find ourselves mid table by October next season, then it will be the right time to say goodbye.
foxfanazer Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 One of the big problems for me would be that a new manager usely means a overhaul of the playing staff which I don't think we need. We were a cut above our opposition last season and some might say we were naive in not adding sufficiently. Another thing is that Pearson doesn't appear to have lost the dressing room which to me suggests the players still hold him in high regard. The effort is there but the quality is lacking, mainly in defensive mistakes. This season so far has been a disaster but I honestly couldn't think of a better manager to get us back up next season. For all his faults he has built some very solid foundations at this club and I just don't want to see us completely ditch that

I must have checked your username 5 times to make sure it was you. A fair and balanced post.

Agree with you there KF. If he was to start next season still in his job he would have to hit the ground running else it would be curtains. I personally don't think he'll get the chance

All season long, regardless of relegation (as long as we didn't do a Derby) I was all for international break around October time 2015/16 being Pearson's judgement day After yesterday and his lack of subs among other things like Schwarzer, my faith has waned a tad, whether it will be back for next week or not is too early to say at the moment
hackneyfox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 After yesterday's abject performance I'm not sure the players are behind him.
