Pearson on RL

[beaumontfox]

tbf I think NP is a very aloof, bordering on arrogant man BUT I also think he is someone who would want to be treated fairly.

And from what I've been told, his comments tonight certainly confirm some of that in regards to his successor and his relationship with the CE

 

[Micky]

Pearson was a good manager but I have my doubts as to whether he would be able to take a team like leicester and establish them in the premier league. For the excellent season that we had last season, there were some truly dreadful performances.

 

[Macky]

Pearson says he saw the irony in Sousa's sacking and the quick appointment of Eriksson.

Can somebody help me out? What 'irony'? There's no irony in any of that.
Not unless SGE was supposed to be getting married today, and it started raining, Sousas

I think he meant that it seemed that Eriksson was lined up before Sousa had gone. Just like Sousa was lined up before Pearson had gone.

I think Big Nige needs to concentrate on sorting Hull Shitty out.

I thought we had a fantastic season and every performance was at least solid.

It's a total travesty that he left, but, as some posters have referred to, it's in the past now and we have to move on.

Spot on Micky, and also a lot of lucky ones as well.

Very true, it makes us look as bad as feckin Swansea fans

When I think back to some of the performances, such as Ipswich at home, I was truly embarassed by the standard of the football (especially considering that it was on Sky). Yes, Nigel did well with what he had but we played some really dire and limited football.

 

[Leigh]

I'm glad it's finally out. We pretty much knew it all anyway but now it's confirmed from the man's mouth and people who don't frequent forums can hear it. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth but I'm not sure my opinion of Hoos, MM and the new consortium has been changed a lot as it's what we knew anyway. In a strange way it also draws a line under his leaving as things, for me at least, felt unfinished.

Christ, Micky, how high are your expectations up there? He did a fantastic job, if you really expect every single game to be a fantastic performance then I think you have your head in the clouds. Of course there was the odd poor performance, Mourinho and Alex Ferguson manage teams which have odd poor performances too. Complaining about the odd poor performance, which was always bound to happen, after a manager has a 50%+ win ratio for a team like us, just seems bizarre to me.

Sour grapes, theres nothing you can say about Pearson you cant point at Ferguson or Wenger ? Im dissapointed with him leaving but im not going to start saying stuff like this.

Can we forget Pearson and his awful replacement now ! Lets get behind a quality established manager (with a slightly tarnished recent rep) and push on !

I agree he did a great job. I wanted him to stay and I genuinely liked how the guy came across. I can't help being honest. I tell you what, trawl back through DavieG's archive of all the games from last season and remind yourself of some of the games and goals....http://www.davieg-gallery.limeo.co.uk/9 - lcfc 2009_10-goals.htm

Drawing with plymouth, scunthorpe, peterborough, ipswich, coventry.....losing to sheff wed, barnsley, derby, forest..... there were some really poor performances in there.

 

[Kingy_85]

If Sven hadnt been at Notts County this would be hailed as the greatest coup of the century, its unfortunate. Im still very happy, and even County got promoted !

Even if hes doing it for the cash, have Powell as his assistant and were guaranteed a replacement if he does bugger off after a year.

 

[Mawsley]

Pearson didn't get on with the Chief Executive

Who, amazingly, was the reason he got his job here in the first place.

So he wasn't pushed, he quit. Simple.

I don't believe it is simple, nothing in life is.

Lee Hoos = grade A ****?

Yes, but he's not the only one at the club who can command that epithet with authority.

Sour grapes.......christ no. If I saw the guy in the street I would give him the time of day and tell him I thought he did a very good job. BUT I don't think we were as good under him as people make out.

Is there any other reason to take the job on?

with most of those wins in Division 1

 

[Orifice]

It's all part of the history of Leicester City, the last few years have been amazing.

In 10-15 years time when we're telling our offspring about this period of time, they just won't believe us. They will just think that we were always a top European Champions League team.

JESUS CHRIST! Arsenal lost to West Brom last weekend. WENGER IS A SHIT MANAGER - WENGER OUT!

Of course there were a poor performances, EVERY manager has poor performances. If they didn't, following football would be exceptionally boring.

I'm sorry, but Kingy is spot on, picking out and criticising the odd individual performance from a manager who did a fantastic job overall. Oh, and the performances were by a team who were just promoted to that division against established Championship sides too, is just patent sour groups.
