Speculation Nigel Pearson's Leicester future in doubt

Tits?

I hope not.

Nah. How could you tire of Kingy?

With Harbs resurrected Kingy seems downright Hemingway-esque.

 

[Mawsley]

I hope you're prepared to say that to King's face.

Who needs to say what to King's face?

 

[Mawsley]

Miles, what he said. You can't just call a player Hemmingway-esque unless you're prepared to catch a flight to EMA, get a taxi to Leicester and say it to their face.

What did he say?


On Late Kick off here, Danny Mills has just said Mark Venus was a very good defender.

As I remember, it was stuff like:

I do not pick players to play just because they cost a lot of money.
I want players who demonstrate their commitment by hard work and right/(my) attitude.
I will make some changes/additions to balance the squad, but not large numbers.
Some players will leave.

Absolutely no problem with this comment in principle. That said, you don't cut your nose off to spite your face either and I think Pearson is guilty of this on occasion. The defence hasn't improved with the omission of Mills and rather than include him in the match day squad to give a bit of additional competition for places, he's continued to alienate him. If it was a clash of opinions then sidelining him for a time was understandable, but what we've seen seems excessive unless something hugely drastic happened.

All this plus everything is all about long-term planning.

That's the problem though; no-one knows what's happened, so it's pointless criticising Pearson for leaving him out of the team when we don't know the details.

IMO there must be a very good reason for Matt Mills' exclusion. Prior to whatever happened, Pearson was playing him every game... Something massive must have happened to take Mills from captaining the side and playing every game to not even making the squad and training with the youngsters.

Pearson's had disagreements with players in the past, but he's worked them out and the players have come back better than ever - like with Sean St Ledger. Matt Mills must have either done something very serious, or isn't willing to buckle down, impress the manager and fight his way back into first team contention. Either way, he doesn't sound like he has the kind of attitude Pearson demands from his players and if that's the case, I won't be sad to see him go. A very expensive mistake.

Just my opinion, but he was dropped after playing the final in a succession of stinkers that horrible game at Watford, purely football reasons, nothing else. I'd guess ( and it is a guess ) that Mills then threw his toys out of the pram.
