adam Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 He did the right thing taking them off, need them fresh for hull in a week and a halfs time!!
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Oh just go away. I don't see the point in following football without making emotional attatchements to certain players and managers who appeal to you for whatever reason. I genuinley don't see how anyone can really love it as a sport if they're quite happy to just go through thinking 'well managers/players will come and go so may as well not give two shits about them', where's the satisfaction in that. I'm emotionally attatched to Pearson because he's the most successful manager in the time I've been watching Leicester. Intellectually (though I'll concede it's difficult to seperate the two - but I think I can to some extent) I think he's the best option for us next season without a shadow of a doubt. Now you might not agree, and frankly I don't care if you don't, but I will always be very fond of players and managers I like. If you don't like that then for the love of God block me because I'm not going to change the way I post to appease you. I follow LEICESTER CITY, not Nigel Pearson and you have no idea whatsoever whether Nigel Pearson 'without a shadow of a doubt' will be the best option next season for Leicester City. None whatsoever.
Izzy Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 A question for all the 'what did you expect against Man City?' and 'did you really think we'd beat the Champions of England' lot.... If you watched that game, not knowing which the team in light blue were and which the team in red were, if you knew nothing about the 22 men on the pitch (who they were, where they came from, who they used to play for), and then you had to say what the result could or should have been, do you think you would say that the sky blue team definitely deserved to win? Because I don't think you would. I think you'd see that the red team had kept it tight and defended well until half time when they should have gone in at 0-0. I think you'd see the Nugent miss and think that the red team should have been level at that point. And I think that you'd see that the red team put some pressure on and could have had a little more than they did when they were trailing by a goal. I think you'd come away saying that whilst they might not have 100% deserved a draw, the red team could have got one. And there lies the problem for us: not taking what we could take from games and sometimes even not taking what we should take from games. In that sense, tonight is massively frustrating and another opportunity squandered. Your argument only holds weight if we had got battered. Then you could ask "what did you expect?" I also noticed there was one guy wearing black during tonight's game. I think he's called 'the referee'. I believe it's his job is to award penalties for infringements in the box. I don't know his name or where he comes from. But I do know one thing. He's a willy puller.
Vicki Vixen Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Put the idiot in charge of Barcelona and he'd relegate them. Hasn't the first clue! Messi and Neymar dropped and then sent on loan to Ipswich for not tracking back. David McGoldrick and Troy Deeney unveiled as their replacements.
Tielemans63 Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Please for god sake get Schulpp out now. It's beyond a joke how many stupid things one man does in 90 mins. This x1000. At the start of the season I was beginning to wonder if I'd got it wrong about Schlupp but now I'm reassured that I was right in the first place. He's a top class athlete but he's a shocking footballer.
Lovejoy Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I've said it before Mark, your apparent love for a football manager verges on the slightly extreme. Try to do something else for a while, take up a hobby or something.. In all sincerity, managers come and go..the club has always been here and hopefully always will be. Personally I think Pearson has been utter rubbish this season thus far. I think a number of people (myself included) remember the days of 05, 06, 07 and 08 when we finally did go down. Along came NP and the club changed, first promotion then playoffs. He left, we got Paulo Sousa and Sven, spent a packet, achieved very little. Nige came back in and in his first full season back reached the playoffs before the joys of last season. I imagine I'm not the only one who expected better this year of both the manager and the squad, there have been selections and decisions that have been baffling. But be careful what you wish for. Sadly I suspect Pearson's days are numbered and the last thing I want is for an over-hyped replacement to come in, tear up the squad and us to go nowhere.
seenitall Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 The belief that Pearson can turn things around for next season is laughable - his confidence must be on the floor - if he stays he will have about 6 games - top and he might stay, anything less then he is toast. I personally can't wait for us to get rid - too many wasted seasons under this fella, he's had his chance, blown it spectacularly and now must be moved on. He's so BORING
Stadt Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I follow LEICESTER CITY, not Nigel Pearson and you have no idea whatsoever whether Nigel Pearson 'without a shadow of a doubt' will be the best option next season for Leicester City. None whatsoever. I've been a staunch Pearson defender, but I'm a bit fed up with his daft decisions but it's hard to argue that he wouldn't be the best option for us in the championship, with his squad that walked the league before. I don't agree with the calls that he's a terrible manager just out of his depth - as much as it's a horrible cliche now but the fact we've not been battered shows that he's not completely inept. Maybe he will learn and adapt because he is a notoriously slow learner but I think he should be given another chance to get us up, if he did get us up and was struggling again then he could have no qualms if he was sacked.
st albans fox Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 in a week and a halfs time!! I suspect they have some technical info as to the amount of running they have done. Wouldn't want krama pulling a muscle cos he is over tired. Sometimes you do need to trust that the manager does have some intelligence. (I know that's a tough one !) season starts now and we need 5 wins and 2 draws. By my reckoning, hull is one of those 'wins' We could just give up but were not playing like a side that's given up so why should the supporters?.
hackneyfox Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I've basically been emotionally preparing myself for his dismissal since his first summer back. No way am I letting it feel like it did when he moved to Hull again. This love of Pearson seems to be greater than your love of the team. Why aren't you discussing being upset about probably getting relegated. Time to get over this infatuation.

He's so BORING I can't believe Pearson undid all of the handwork done by Holloway, Megsn and Levein.
skmanuk Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 You can tell the sort of people that phone into Radio Leicester when they can't even work out they're on the phone but excitedly telling people they're on the radio... Cue turning off of the radio. Oh yeah and the game sounded a bit meh I don't think we challenged their goal at all. Boring Pratt
Mark_w Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 The belief that Pearson can turn things around for next season is laughable - his confidence must be on the floor. Déjà vu. I'm sure I've seen you post exactly that, almost word for word, some time before?
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Yes it is... It's a tough division. Teams grind out results. They wear you down. It's not full of sensational victories but it's the endless having to play at your best thing that usually results in more losses than wins. So many people underestimated the step up, this season. Compared to the Championship (where you can have an off day and still win), the Premiership is ruthless. I reckon the premier league is far weaker now than years ago, it's full of dross and obviously we are the worst, agree with grinding out results but in terms of skilful quality teams, no. Liverpool and Man Utd sum it up for me, both in the top 5 yet have had a lot of criticism this season and haven't played well at all.
seenitall Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I can't believe Pearson undid all of the handwork done by Holloway, Megsn and Levein. But to say he has anything to offer because he has achieved more than other bad managers = he is the least bad of a really bad bunch doesn't make him great surely - just less bad than shit (just)
Sharpe's Fox Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Good performance against a top side again but it is just a bonus game. Hopefully we get a win against Hull to keep us in touch post Spurs.
Tuna Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I follow LEICESTER CITY, not Nigel Pearson and you have no idea whatsoever whether Nigel Pearson 'without a shadow of a doubt' will be the best option next season for Leicester City. None whatsoever. I'm concerned so many fans seem to think that Pearson will get us promoted next season because 'he has done it before'. There are loads of managers out there who have won promotion to the premier league and did nothing ever again - Paul Jewell, Roy Keane, Billy Davies, to name a few. Remember when we went down with Micky Adams and what happened the next season? Pearson has been manager for too long. He's too stubborn to change and this will have been a bruising season. A parting of the ways would be in both parties interests.
seenitall Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Déjà vu. I'm sure I've seen you post exactly that, almost word for word, some time before? And we will be no further forward in August under Nige than we were when he rejoined us - stuck in the Championship with an overpaid ageing squad - Deja Vu is right
Mark_w Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I'm concerned so many fans seem to think that Pearson will get us promoted next season because 'he has done it before'. NOBODY HAS SAID THAT. I think we are more likely to go up if we stick with Pearson, than we are if we sack him and the owners appoint a new manager. There is a difference.
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I think a number of people (myself included) remember the days of 05, 06, 07 and 08 when we finally did go down.

Sadly I suspect Pearson's days are numbered and the last thing I want is for an over-hyped replacement to come in, tear up the squad and us to go nowhere. I reiterate..THIS season, so far, Pearson and we have been pants. I've also argued with Mark's 'beyond any doubt' assertion. Nigel may stay next season and do a job whatever division we are in. He may also go and someone else could do a job equally as well. No-one knows..so yes, there is doubt. I think people need to realise, for a side playing at the top level of football, we have been APPALLING this season, in terms of points gained/lost, and all the associated stats. If we don't improve this (I still believe we will), it will have been an absurdly poor effort.
Stadt Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 But to say he has anything to offer because he has achieved more than other bad managers = he is the least bad of a really bad bunch doesn't make him great surely - just less bad than shit (just) "too many wasted seasons" seems a little bit harsh
MC Prussian Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 This love of Pearson seems to be greater than your love of the team. Why aren't you discussing being upset about probably getting relegated. Time to get over this infatuation. Funny your dislike of the manager seems to be greater than the dislike of certain players - how about criticizing them for a change?
seenitall Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 One season he didn't make the play offs, two he missed out in the play offs and one disastrous relegation season balanced by two promotions - 4 crap v two good and we are back where we started when he returned but arguably with an older more expensive squad
Mark_w Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 And we will be no further forward in August under Nige than we were when he rejoined us - stuck in the Championship with an overpaid ageing squad - Deja Vu is right Yeah except rather than being in a shit ton of debt and being completely unstable as a club, we'll be raking in parachute payments and have a much, much, stronger squad. And we'll have experienced a fantastic Championship winning season and one of the best games in the clubs history. But sure if swapping Gallagher, Beckford, Danns, Mills and a like for Mahrez, Ulloa, Kramaric and a like while improving the financial status of the club and improving our status generally is taking us no further forwad then you're right. Should have just stuck with Sven really.
