Pearson Sacked!

[homer]

La la land, I suggest people get the name Klopp and his like out of their head immediately, it's utterly delusional and will only result in a sense of disappointment when the actual manager is unveiled.

Top three in the betting are now Lennon, followed by Steve Pissin' Cotterill, followed by Sam feckin' Allardyce

Probably about right

Klopp FFS

Steve Cotterill? We haven't gone that far down yet have we?

I hope the owners aim high. Who would have thought the legend that is Esteban Cambiasso would come to 'lowly' Leicester.

 

[Lako42]

Although Klopp is never going to happen, I would seriously hope we are now at a level where the name Steve Cotterill didn't even come into reckoning.

A man right at the end of his career, would he have left Real Madrid to come here if we 'aimed high'

 

[Macky]

The BBC are saying that it was connected to the Thailand incident.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33339566

They're obviously not the only ones saying this, but nobody has offered any evidence that this is the reason for his dismissal

 

[FryattFox]

Just because.

He's been storming up the betting market

Watch this space.......

 

[NW_Fox]

Birch will appear on the list next.....

 

[Dour]

Nigel Pearson is on the list. 50/1 at SkyBet - might be worth a punt.

Totally disagree with this assessment of owners as despots: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...sion-to-make-Leicester-chairman-feel-big.html

Pearson and Son have brought shame and ridicule to a club that is acutely aware of its image, particularly in Thailand and the Far East.

They have not sacked Pearson because he constantly complains to the media about diving, or bad referees. He has been sacked because of his attitude to the owners/Board about his behaviour or the way the club should progress and develop.

The owners DID back him all the time we were bottom of the table, when that was the best and easiest opportunity for the owners to say 'You are not good enough for this club, you are fired!'.

This is the sort of lazy journalism I expect from the Sun or the Star, not the Telegraph.

The article seems a better assessment than yours, to be honest. The owners nudged him out once, and sacked him once when we were bottom of the table. You don't know why he's been sacked, but want to believe that the owners have a justifiable reason.

However, there is plenty of evidence that football clubs attract owners that are egomaniacal loons, spivs or crooks, who behave accordingly. It just looks like ours are no different, now.

It's the kind of bollocks I'd expect on Foxesdrivel.

Does it?

When I find the facts to support that notion I may agree with you but while we're all bathing in the world of fantasy I'm having trouble reaching that conclusion.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

This is more like the sort of article the Telegraph usually write: http://www.squawka.com/news/why-pea...n-as-a-negative-decision-by-leicester/409218?

Something that the journalist actually thought about.

You didn't think the parade round the pitch at the end of the season was a little different from those in previous years?

The moral high ground here does seem to be built on a huger than usual pile of BS.

Were Top and his dad riding on the top of a tank or something?
Were they surrounded by armed guards in dark suits and dark glasses?
Were the player's children being scooped up by dodgy characters to be sold into slavery?

Besides all the players, their families and the owners and the club staff walking around smiling and waving, how was it different from previous years?

 

[Fox Fan]

I don't think we've usually had the owners coming out to confetti and fireworks while the players don't. I also think it's the first time we've seen a picture of the Thai King being paraded around the pitch.

Well, I don't seem to remember even Mad Mandy made sure he was the first to be announced and led the procession. Used to be, the owners kept out of the limelight on such events.
