Honestly..who can defend Pearson now

[Raj]

Believe me mate the tide has well and truely turned.

No one had a positive thing to say as we were walking g out

[MC Prussian]

he never learns! That's just the way he is. I have been hoping he would learn all season ... but you can't change the way folk are.

Definitely. That's why we didn't progress under him in the Championship.

[Raj]

Only the people on here - not the majority at the games.

Really????

[Dr The Singh]

Definitely. That's why we didn't progress under him in the Championship.

Different level chap, as with all sports some make it to the top, some fail at the top.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

You expect a manager, in his first proper spell in the PL, to get some things wrong. Sadly in my opinion he's got too much wrong this season.

He can't have too many complaints if/when the axe falls.

Yeah pretty much this

[Dr The Singh]

Yeah pretty much this

Agreed, I think city have got worse over the season in general

[fleckneymike]

Yesterday's line up and formation was utterly baffling.

 

The substitions bordered on the bizarre. Hull down to ten men, we have a back five and we remove a right wing back and replace him with an inexperienced winger thus maintaining a five man backline. 10 minutes later we replace a CB with a striker and move the winger to RB in a back 4 leaving us with a midfiled with no width and three strikers with no service.

I must personally know 50 or so Leicester fans at least and not one of them want Pearson as our manager, and I'm the only one who posts on this forum. You've just been debunked.

[MHC]

Not as far as I can tell, at least the Foxestalk numbers are misleading - it's just too easy to take this weekend's increased influx of the "Out" mob on here as a case in point. So far, it acts as the exception to the rule.

However, I can sense a lot of people who've argued in favour of the manager in the past now reassessing their views.

One thing is clear - we can't continue playing like we did yesterday against Hull. Even against ten men, we were suddenly on the brink of losing the game if it hadn't been for Schwarzer's save against Hernandez.

See above.

People respect what he's done in the past, at a lower level, and don't want to boo him. This morning my Dad was saying that most people didn't abuse McLintock when he was manager, and for much the same reason, but it didn't mean they wanted him to stay.

[apollo4joe]

Pearson has f@@cked up this season big time. for a team to come up with 102points and be bottom with 19 points in March is ridiculous, genuinely awful. I can imagine if he came back in five years time he will get round of applause and he deserves it, he done a very good job for us but in the Premiership he has proved he is out of his depth, not just on the pitch but how many managers call a journalist a pr!ck? Not to mention his other misdemeanours this season, its embarrassing and he is generally an unlikeable bloke. It proves he cant take the pressure of top flight football. maybe if we were mid-table he could get away with it but we are rock, ROCK BOTTOM.

 

Replace him with who though? Long term or short term? Why not O'Neill? He still has a very good record regardless of what happened at Sunderland, who were NEVER in the bottom three they just panicked and dumped him. Not saying he's the right answer but this stupid argument I've heard 'oh he's past his best... never go back wah blah blurgh'. why just try for 10games? how can it be any worse? His main skill is motivation, just roll the feckin dice.  Yesterday was so limp it was like Rob Kelly was back in charge.

 

For next season? Who knows? I think generally we are tolerant fans, but Pearson has fecked us off so much this season I don't thin there's a way back for him long term.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

And that, my friend, is where you got it very, very wrong.

 

Paying for a match ticket doesn't come with the right to shout abuse at players or the manager.

What you get is access to a football match at a football ground of your choice. Period.

 

Applying the same logic in a slightly different scenario - if you were to aim derogatory terms at a fellow football fan at a match, then being either smacked in the face by said individual or getting carried away by security and/or the police, would you protest as vehemently against the treatment?

Then why did you play down what Pearson said to a fan.?

 

You're losing your grip, of late ,as reflected in the manner in which your posts have deteriorated. Take a deep breath, and attempt to be more logical in your approach to a post. For example, reduce the "waffle," and introduce a  more factual oratory perception of the subject matter in question.

What Mark_W knows about football I could right on the back of a postage stamp in marker pen.

This is the boy who worshiped Waghorn.

Yes he does come over as a first class, chump.

 

He doesn't enjoy having to back down, when proved wrong.

Mark w has shoved Pearson's success last season far down people's throats. Yours and mine included DT. And has brought it up time and time again.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. Where is the lad?

I asked him the question as to what Pearson has done to earn his money, and fans respect

 

 this season? Guess what, no response. He's gone into hiding. 

 

Everyone is entitled to a view, but he sees his words as law. 

 

Oh well, I suppose it makes life interesting , Col.

We all saw pearson failing very early on col, and mark, and mc loyalty to the man is fair enough.

But your right, they have called people every name under the sun, in a attempt to defend the indefensable, fickle etc.

Over recent weeks the penny has dropped that pearson isn't a very good manager, and mark has gone missing, but fair play to mc he's still about holding his own, delusional if he thinks pearson suits Leicester now.

My biggest fear is after all his antics and poor results, the bloke has still got a job at our club, are the owners scared to sack him, I hope not, and I hope he isn't here next season.

Mark my words Monsey... As a City fan of more years than I care to remember, and a season ticket holder of nearly the same amount of years, there is no-one more peeved than I am that Pearson has failed to deliver this season.

BUT....my love is with LCFC..not Nigel Pearson

I had a huge amount of adoration for Martin O'Neil. I loved his passion. I loved his touch line antics, his fists raised..most of all, I loved how when he picked a team, I knew why...I understood.

Nigel Pearson..the miserable hater of the media, the sitter in the stands (even when we HAD to win a game), is not fit to kiss MON's boots mate.

[Father Ted]

I've always liked Pearson and will always respect him for everything but he needs to go.

 

His attitude has become totally embarrassing. His treatment of certain players has been disgusting and his failure to realise where we are not good enough has cost us. Whether we stay up or go down, he needs to go, we are wasting our time with him still at the helm. Give to Esteban or Kev Phillips until the end of the season and start with a clean slate. These two will have unbiased opinions to players, and will have seen how they have trained throughout the season.

[Finn Claw II]

Yesterday was poor really poor. I can just about understand the line up (just) but the manner in which we played was awful.

The tactic seemed to be to play from the back but seeing as none of the defenders wanted the ball we just hoofed it. The wing backs didn't push on and we just seemed to try to play thorough the middle with hull lined up with a 5 and 4 in front of that. The energy was lacking all across the park, we were totally lethargic.

Pearson has to go when he loses the players and I thought yesterday the players didn't look up for it.

No-one has said he is as good as O'Neill.

 

One of the worst parts of this season on here has been the belittling and patronising attitude (not by yourself) towards the younger generation of the fanbase, seemingly being blamed for liking, supporting and therefore defending Pearson who, after years of misery, gave them something to enjoy, and remember. He might not go down as a Leicester great, a legend, he probably won't, but those who weren't fortunate to witness better teams and better days in the top flight and Europe have this to cling onto.

 

They shouldn't be blamed for supporting Pearson early this season when he's been the best they've had. Older, possibly wiser supporters had reservations and the ability to look back to a greater past to compare.

 

Yes, some will worship him, some will support, some will dislike. Naturally the younger element will veer towards worship but there is no doubt everyone wants better than this performance. No-one is going to stop supporting us if Pearson goes, he's one of many managers we've had and will continue to have. All this Pearsonite nonsense is unfair on the vast majority of the fans who like or rate him.

[Stadt]

Why is it mostly illiterate 40 something's that detest Pearson, I can understand why you'd want him sacked but it's a bit weird how people get worked up so much about it.

Lovely post Corky.. One which makes me respect your view all over again to be fair.

I agree. The young uns have nothing on which to base any sort of comparison.

[stingray]

I'm Pearson's age, and have seen far better and worse managers. He's done a decent, not great job up till the Premier League, given the finances he's had we sd have been promoted. But he's simply not up to the job, picks fights with the wrong people and make a fool of himself over and over again. I actually don't care too much about this latest **** incident

Never got the love in for pearson, been vile on numerous occasions, never took to him, lost me with the first " if you don't like it don't come" against Leeds.

In my opinion he's just full of self importance, and always thinks he better than he is, and just becomes aggressive, and behaves like a child who has had its toys took off them, if things go bad, and refuses to answer any questions he doesn't like.

The truth is he doesn't answer them, because he hasn't got a clue where he's getting it wrong, or how to put it right, so he acts like a bully in the play ground to hide his failings.

Just wish he would just **** off now, but a bloke with his ego, arrogants, and delusion is grandeur will not have it in him and resign.

With you col, Oneill was the bollocks, never had a manager anywhere near good enough to clean his boots, and sadly may never again.
