NIGEL PEARSON SACKED!!!!!

Statistically, Nigel is also the onlly manager in our history to have a free hit at League One with a Championship budget...


O'Neill is the most successful because he...you know... won stuff.

 

League 1 isn't as easy as people like to think

As Leeds, Forest, Southampton, Charlton, Sheffield United, Preston or Coventry fans

All them clubs failed to bounce back straight away. Yes we should have got promoted and we did it with ease but Nigel still deserves credit for it

 

Pearson was shocked, we was shocked, the media was shocked and judging by Jeff Schlupp's comments the day before when he signed a new contract the players will have been shocked.

Kasper was only saying the other week that Pearson is the best manager he has played for, he is very highly respected and loved by the players

 

The shock to most I think is in the timing. Obviously things were unfolding that no one knew about. The owners have a Brand, King Power, and as part of the marketing policy for this decided to buy an English premier league club - Leicester City. All employees, especially the senior management have to represent the brand accordingly. Pearson didn't.

 

... can't argue with that... he's certainly a big unit when he is not moving..
...

 

now now yes he did a good job, but he has gone. we move on

Erm thanks.... now can we move on. lol

 

.. if they want to keep them they'll just be offered more money ... and will probably stay... little loyalty in football these days I'm afraid...

 

... on the money...

 

Tim Flowers has backed Nigel Pearson to one day become the England manager

 

... hope he's hedged that bet ... the FA are not exactly renowned for appointing 'characters' ...

 

If he'd bought a lottery ticket he would at least have a chance of getting his money back!!

 

According to the Mirror Neil Lennon wants the job, they also say Dean Hammond is set to sign a new 1 year deal

 

Lennon would be ok for me. He´s got LC history & he´s passionate.
We just need to keep hold of our scouting staff & turn ourselves into a top 10 side. Not sure what went on with NP but I can´t help thinking he could of took us alot further.

 

Maybe in some computer game but not here on planet Reality.

Pearson's strengths probably lie more in assistant manager rather than actual manager. You could even argue that Peter Taylor (and I have to cringe when saying this) was more successful than Pearson because didn't he actually get us to the top of the Prem for one glorious week?

 

Just keep your hands off Cotts - he is half way through an important job for us .......

 

Not only were we doing so well, but the football was very entertaining too. Im still in mourning.

 

I think it was 2 weeks due to an international break; But there was still fans moaning when we were top. Some fans are unbelievable!!!!!
