ok fine.

*replying to unfounded speculative bollocks alert* Do you really think the board took the decision to sack Pearson thinking the fans wouldn't react? If the Austin rumour is true, and the sources for it would indicate it probably is, then I would suggest, as other people have, he was on a list...

Jenny Bradley. Top is a big Corrie fan. Pearson is an Emmerdale nut. Once he found that out Top had no choice. He had to go.

Pastor Martin Niemoller has a poem for people like you David.

*sings The Theme from Mash*

Anyway, whatever, the last few days have been pretty crappy for the club. I don't agree with the decision to sack NP. My posts were trying to rationalise the possible reasons the board had. Nothing more. As to who replaces Pearson, well Lennon would be a disaster, and Hiddink is, I'm afraid...

Political bias? I was talking - ok, perhaps in a somewhat ham-fisted way - about the zeitgeist currently pervading the world, and its effect on peoples perceptions. 30 or 40 years ago the idea that businesses made some decisions based on moral instincts wouldn't have been considered too bizarre...

I'm not going to be lectured on this by someone who liked a post describing our board as 'dodgy Thais'. You seem to have a problem with me, there is a simple answer. :)

I've no need to 'Cheer up' David. I'm perfectly happy, thank you. Slightly concerned about what's going on at my football club, but otherwise full of the joys of summer (though the hay fever isn't brilliant). My mention of neo lib/con was in relation to the attitudes on show here about the...

:) hard day?

If we worked at the same place and I was their immediate superior, the manager in overall control of all staff and we were on a goodwill tour of the owners country, then, while I wouldn't be ecstatic about it, I could understand why the owners would see it as a dereliction of my duties...

I believe Nigel and Top got along very well. I think the problems were with his father. But after Thailand, it probably was too much for Top to defend after everything else that went on this season. Lets not forget, it was a goodwill trip in their own country. And Nigel was in charge of the players.

It is a bit warm, isn't it? I could have chosen to make a post quoting someone and then make it ambiguous enough that they couldn't be certain if it was them or the clubs owners being called idiots and not civilised. But it isn't all about me. So I decided it wasn't worth it.

...or make them uncivilised.

Sure. Tell them, not me. I've already said I think from a football point of view it is the wrong decision. However, we are not party to the conversations with NP and the Board over the Thai trio being sacked. Maybe Nigel didn't think his son should have been sacked. Maybe the owners believe a...

I think Feriol just answered that one. The 'actions of an adult child' were probably the final straw rather than the main/only reason.

Why is it so unbelievable that people can make decisions based on strongly held principles and beliefs? I realise the last 35 years of neo con/lib economic ideology has skewed a lot of peoples thinking, but there are still people who have standards and beliefs they trust more than money and ego...

Pearson had less money to spend than MON in his first stint, and won us a championship, and got us into the play offs. In his second stint he also won us a championship, despite not having much to spend because Sven had pissed it all away. And kept us in the premier league playing - after a...

Nigel Pearson, for all his 'faults' was/is head and shoulders above MON. MON was a one trick pony. Pearson can at least change things around when needed. Plus the football is far more entertaining than under MON.

lol. Might persuade Esteban to stay...

I would suggest there is more chance of Diego Maradona being named our new manager than Steve Cotterill.

Pearson Thai-died SHOCKA!!!111!!!

You know, if that BBC article is accurate, then, I'm afraid, this is a major mistake by the board. I was going on the assumption that the sacking was because NP was unhappy at the treatment of his idiot son - in which case, I had little sympathy for him. This article seems to suggest he wasn't...

Well, reading Between the Lines,. They've dropped the dead donkey.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/sacked-leicester-manager-neil-pearson-5977659 Funnily enough, they make no mention of Thailand. The story they 'broke'.

Benitez? a bit left field, but every other fecker's been mentioned.

Christ not him again. He'd be worse than Allardyce.

I said it would be an interesting choice, that doesn't mean I think it will happen.

Jossy

Now I think Klopp would be an interesting choice. Otherwise none of the above.

James Pearson has really shown himself to be a parasitic feckless waste of oxygen. Nigel's apparent loyalty could well have long term repercussions for his own career, not just a short term one for LCFC. If this turns out to be true (he left because jnr. was sacked), then the kind of club he...

I ****ing despair sometimes. *sigh*

*sigh*

I completely agree, but, in my defence I was bored.

Ha!

Yes, *sigh* *sigh* that someone actually thinks that me pointing out nothing has been seen to have been done about Thailand means that I think Simpson's behaviour is acceptable. I was simply pointing out that the club are acting very quickly about this player, and quite rightly in my opinion...

Can you please tell me where in my post I said/inferred that what Simpson did was in ANY way less serious than what happened in Thailand. Please tell me, because your moral superiority obviously tells you it was what I meant. My point was quite simple. It was that Nigel Pearson's son and two...

*sigh*

*sigh*

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33154782 Seems Danny Simpson will be dealt with 'in the coming days', yet still nothing about Pearson jnr and his pals.
