Bettsj2 Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 The problem is the two best candidates were Pulis and Sherwood and they're both busy winning games at our ex-relegation rivals. I'm sick of Pearson. Laughing at the boos reminds me of Holloway calling the fans idiots because we had Scunthorpe and Wednesday at home and would obviously win those and avoid dropping to League 1. This season has been shambolic. The writing was in the wall so long ago its untrue. People talk of loyalty, but loyalty gets you nothing. Well thats not quite true. Its got us relegated.

I'm hoping Oneill being at the game, the owners are taking advise from him.They are financial backers who know little about football, maybe he's giving them sound advice. Did pearson laugh when he/ they got booed off, what a **** if he did, he should hold his head in shame after this season, the with an ego his size, and being a big headed twat, he'd never get his head up again. Well all those that backed pearson, and now don't believe him in him now, you know how he feels laughing at fans after yet another ahocking miss management of our club
canadaukfox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Haven't checked all the posts, but it seems the "In Nige we trust" brigade are very quiet. No rants about disloyal bast@rds who wanted this all along...interesting.
KFS Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 You do realise we have won just 4 games all season, and that we have picked up 12 points from the last 69! My god, we would be hard pressed to employ any other manager in the land who could do worse than that! I repeat, name?Nigel is fvcking shit, but there is nothing else out there. Sacking him because he's hurt all your feelings is just useless. When a young, progressive, successful manager becomes available, let's sack him. But for now we're stuck with it.
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Let's have a look at our summer premier league quality recruitment and how they impacted on today's game: Ben Hamer - not in the match day squad Danny Simpson - not in the match day squad Marc Albrighton - not in the match day squad Leonardo Ulloa - top goal scorer, £8 million pounds, on the bench. Only Cambiasso & Matt Upson get a worthwhile mention from today's game buts it's taken Upson 8 months to even make his home debut. Absolutely embarrassing! The recruitment has set the tone for the whole season - S***
Dukes not bald Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Best bit today was the 48th minute, really good minutes applause for Terry. LTID
suffolk fox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 I would have absolutely no complaints if he's sacked now. Totally out of his depth at this level. There's a lot I like about him and a lot I respect about him, but we need to look at what we can do to make a better fist of it next time we're up (and that's a big assumption to assume he'd get us back up next season) because I've seen absolutely nothing since January to suggest things would go any differently. £17mil spent on forwards and we can't score at home to ten man Hull. Great last point 17million spent on two forwards who he doesn't and hasn't started together at anytime since we signed Karamic. Tactically inept, sets us yp completely wrong then to suggest it was a 3 4 3 on the radio is he taking the urine? Pearson has to go watched little old Burnley tonight show more passion and fight than we ever could under this clown. But we are better than them in every department"..........Pearson out.
notnow john Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 What I found unacceptable was the lack of commitment and urgency no excuse for that!
LexicalChoice Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Meh, what you gonna do. We're down. Let's just hope Pearson has learnt from his many, many mistakes this season and not every single player jumps ship over the summer. I don't actually think Pearson is that bad a manager, he's just way out of his league this year - that's not to say he won't ever be able to hack it in the prem. Bring on the championship.

Dan Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Dan, i feel your pain. This club needs some new ideas and a new impetus It's become an embarrassment. What happened to the side who scored in 30 games on the spin? Who are now incapable of scoring at home to Hull, Sunderland, West Brom, Stoke and Crystal Palace. I as a fan have given him chance after chance this season and it's the same old story every single time. He just isn't cut out for it. He did a great job that deserved defending from the critics in the Championship but he's been found wanting too many times this season. 90% of the money we've spent this season has been on two strikers who haven't even started a game together, and we can't ****ing score. That's the sign of a manager who has made a mess of his team and seemingly has no idea how to solve it. Hull were there for the taking but to be honest we were actually quite lucky today that we didn't lose based on actual chances. They had the two best ones by a mile. His line-up I thought was an improvement, but his subs were shit once again and so was our style of play. Percentage football. Dross. I thank him immensely for a lot of what he's done, but for me now, with massive regret, I think it's probably time to look elsewhere ahead of next season because as I've stated - I've seen absolutely nothing since January that suggests he's learning anything at this level. It's the same style of play, the same lack of goals, the same dodgy tactics, the same dodgy substitutions. January is a chance to display how you're improving and if anything we've gone backwards. Villa & Burnley winning compounds a truly miserable day in a truly miserable season. So much potential and promise and we're heading right back where we were. ****ing sick of being let down.
Guest Col city fan Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Again...It shows just what a pants argument the 'consistency ' one can be. Villa, West Brom, Palace..All rejuvenated. Us...All huge pile of shite. Angry don't quite cut it.
bellind Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Why didn't he go down the tunnel at the end of the match with his head bowed in shame instead laughing at the crowd.
hackneyfox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 I repeat, name? Nigel is fvcking shit, but there is nothing else out there. Sacking him because he's hurt all your feelings is just useless. When a young, progressive, successful manager becomes available, let's sack him. But for now we're stuck with it. I'd even take Colin till the end of the season as I honestly think just seeing NFP shipped out would give the players a boost. Let Cambiasso and Philips take over, badges or not, nobody could surely do a poorer job than this joke of a manager.
BlueJoe Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Season over. Cut the drama it's been over since Christmas! Maybe if fans had pushed for the sack earlier Pulis would have been saving us right now....
inckley fox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 I repeat, name? Nigel is fvcking shit, but there is nothing else out there. Sacking him because he's hurt all your feelings is just useless. When a young, progressive, successful manager becomes available, let's sack him. But for now we're stuck with it. You never know who will do a job at a club. West Ham fans were sure Big Sam was the wrong choice, and Pardew years before him, Monk was a surprise choice at Swansea, and we were saying much the same as you are now (where are the alternatives? etc.) even when Sherwood was available, and look at how he's roused Villa. We have ten games now in which we can take a look at someone, and still have a rethink in the summer. That could be someone internal (e.g. Cambiasso) or it could be someone we could secure on a short-term deal. Whereas you never know who might prove good enough, you know full well that Pearson isn't good enough. So it's a case of a could-be Vs. a never-gonna-be.
Max Power Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Five home games against West Brom, Sunderland, Palace, Stoke and Hull. Two points, no goals. Utterly depressing.
ADK Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 We could go with Paul Lambert couldn't we? I'd get him in.
hackneyfox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 I'd even take Colin till the end of the season as I honestly think just seeing NFP shipped out would give the players a boost. Let Cambiasso and Philips take over, badges or not, nobody could surely do a poorer job than this joke of a manager.I may have exaggerated a bit over Colin but only because I never want his name to appear under ex managers. Still think he'd get us more points than the current incumbent.
inckley fox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Cut the drama it's been over since Christmas! Maybe if fans had pushed for the sack earlier Pulis would have been saving us right now.... Yes, we all had a part to play in it. If we'd been more vocal in wanting Taylor out in May 2001, if we'd got rid of Holloway in January 2008... On this occasion we overlooked very valid alternatives (Pulis, Sherwood among them) in favour of a guy who looked horribly out of his depth. We backed him, sung his name, probably did just enough to dissuade the board, and look where it got us. But when you consider that the hard core of his support would rather get relegated with Pearson than stay up without him, it tells you a lot.
johnny the fox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 If the players were still really behind the gaffer they wouldn't of dished up that feeble gutless effort today... there was so little know how out there today it was pathetic.
Thrill Bert Fox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 I may have exaggerated a bit over Colin but only because I never want his name to appear under ex managers. Still think he'd get us more points than the current incumbent. I think we should have a go with Cambiasso till the end of the season lets face it we have nothing at all to lose and u never know. Also gives us a chance to see who's available as a longer term option.
BlueJoe Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Yes, we all had a part to play in it. If we'd been more vocal in wanting Taylor out in May 2001, if we'd got rid of Holloway in January 2008...
