I agree. Sacking Nigel would also be embarrassing on some levels Our big spending tag mainly comes because of Sven therefore unfair on Nigel to use that against him. In the last 2 season we havent even got close to getting the play offs so finally were going in the right direction. Yes we have hit a tough patch but we will come through it Lets not let all our hard work go to waste by changing the manager. Even if we dont go up there is a very solid base to build on for next season. A new man would destroy that and start building his own which would take time.
AND the 'new manager' could **** everything up... In my opinion what counts for nothing, I would give managers 3 seasons to build a squad ... Unless you finish near a relegation spot and they really do bad. Stupid owners seem to think different.
.. as I said on other threads, the 'spending' is really secondary - our owners are more than prepared to back whoever is in charge with funds - it will be the results that decide Nigel's future - not what he has spent on transfers or what our wage bill is (admittedly you would expect a correllation between money spent and results - but that is too simple - if it was that easy then anybody could manage provided they had sufficient money - but history has shown that it's not that simple) ...
For once it isn't really us that are involved in all that malarkey! We've had one Manager for a full Season again! Woo!
Big wow! what is really embarrassing is the piss poor standard of ALL management in this country... vastly over paid compared with ability... our managers promise the earth and deliver a mouse.. I have very little time for critics of the customers.. this comment comes from a a vested interest..,.
I'm on about from Browny onwards. It feels like we've been chopping and changing all the time because of the last 3/4 years; Phil Brown, Iain Dowie, Nigel Pearson, Nick Barmby, Steve Bruce.
It's not just owners though- fans don't seem to be able to think beyond a current season. Sure, Leicester are going through a blip right now, but the sacking of a manager will just bring us to square one, and the new guy, regardless of what anyone thinks, WILL take at least a year to get things going. I'm not Pearson's biggest fan- especially at the moment, but he needs at least another year before we can see how well he's done. In terms of rebuilding this club since the Sousa/Sven era, he's not done too badly, and I personally at the start of this season saw this one as transitional- when looking at the bigger picture I won't be devastated if we don't go up, because, barring any stupidity, we'll be stronger next year.
