Our owners, NP and his staff plus the players of LCFC

[Matt_B]

I still think fans are getting carried away thinking that he will be in sudden demand. The teams that will soon be looking (Newcastle, QPR etc) will either want someone more experienced at a top level or be less attractive than us.

I have never lost faith in NP and can smugly say that.

Even after that ****ing Barnsley game

 

[camberwell fox]

I was at best a doubter in his ability to change things.

By **** I'm stupid.

I doubt whether there are many clubs that would have a thread like this. There are many clubs where the fans feel affection for the managers and some of the players. There are few clubs where the owners are held in affection. How must Newcastle and Cardiff fans envy us.

This is a club where everyone seems to be on the same page. It is difficult to imagine an Elsom -Pierrepoint situation with Susan Whelan banning Vichai and Nigel from writing in the programme.

There is always a danger of Nigel moving on. However, the very big clubs tend to like managers with Champions League experience and who have won things. Nigel has had experience of working in a bad atmosphere with Lee Hoos and may well appreciate being part of a well run club with supportive owners. He also has had the experience of clearing out another manager's clutter.

Of course Nigel may also have a lady at home who will firmly tell him things like "We are not leaving Sheffield to go to this Bayern place . Have you tasted the food in Germany and they probably don't have bingo in Munich."

I said he'd never get us promoted. I'm an idiot.

Think I agree

I'm very sorry to inform you that they do actually have bingo in Munich

Don't tell Mrs Pearson.

Got a feeling you'll more likely find her down at Millennium Gardens in Sheffield than down at Mecca Bingo.:icon_bigg

A large portion of our fans would genuinely prefer to have something to bitch about.I can't speak for Newcastle fans as I've never really understood the Northern psyche.

The remarkable song as we left Oakwell that day; Bob Marley with Don't Worry

 

[Hazzman]

But he hasn't had his Sheffield United moment yet.

Oakwell. Easter Monday. Andrew Neville telling city fans that Pearson was gone.

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

I was always a Pearson fan. I have said to many of my friends (Ok.. my two friends) that I firmly believe had Pearson stayed as our manager and not gone on the merry-go-round to Hull and back, we would have been a Premier League side sooner.

I don't quite know why, but I love how boring and blunt he is. There is something rather brilliant about it all.

He reminds me of me when I was an irritable up and coming football manager.

He reminds me of me when I was an irritable up and coming member of this forum.

Oh yes, we all recall what you used to be like :icon_wink

 

[FryattFox]

We'd have been home to Chelsea if PeeStain hadn't rested Cambiasso and Waghorn in the League Cup.

Get him out.

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

Yeah right :icon_lol:

How did I know one of you feckers wouldn't be able to leave that one alone...

Does the two include your parents?

Excellent post.

I am not going to be daft enough to compare Nigel with Sir Alf's achievements but there is the same emphasis on the team - leaving out arguably the best goalscorer in England's history Jimmy Greaves in favour of Geoff Hurst who contributed more to the team.. Above all there is the dryness. After winning the World Cup Gordon Banks said "See you boss" and Alf replied "Will you Gordon?"
