Terry Robinson - Gone

[RHYDAL]

But as Rudkin is not a pal of Top with no football experience, then Pearson should be OK. Yes?

Have I mentioned the fact you're bottom of the league, 5 points off safety, where we were above the relegation places on 17 points at the same juncture?

It's a dark e, a ****ing dark e, geddit?


I don't know why I bother, my comedy genius is wasted on you shower of bus wankers

You see, where you went wrong Mackster is that you failed to test this on a number of different platforms :icon_wink

I'm always happy. I let other people worry about things.

Sorry. I'm an idiot. I was pissed and this was a lyric from the song 'weirdo' by the Charlatans. Clearly I'm the weirdo!

Maybe he 'laid some cable' in Top's car.

It's the only possible reason

Fact is we signed a load of shit, and nowhere near enough quality for what was needed. Despite what some may think I think the owners are going to spend money in January, in a last desperate throw of the dice. If they think Robinson was in some way responsible, then they weren't going to let him feck it up again. I genuinely don't know if he was to blame in any way, but he's got the push for some reason and that seems the most plausible -

Agree on your first point and have been saying so from the outset - tho not in your eloquent language.

On spending money in January - I will be very surprised. It certainly wouldn't make much business sense - that said, football isn't a rational business so you never know. Just a thought on Pearson - the fans are suffering massive disappointment/ disillusion made stronger by the astonishing start to the season. The rest of the season looks bleak. Why should Pearson just be pushed out to walk away with a shed load of money? Let him stay and try to make the best of it. I don't think that he can manage in the Premier League - but he's proven he can bring promotion.

Is that relevant to the question of whether Pearson will stay or go?

Also plausible would be the notion that Top and his dad have made it clear inside the club that they want to continue with Pearson and that Robinson has been shooting his mouth off about the decision. I understand that neither of them had much time for the other.

Have I reminded you just how much better Swansea are than Cardiff? :icon_wink

 

[RHYDAL]

Probably more relevant than your point.

Yes. But but as you're 12 points behind them, that doesn't help Nige now does it?

 

[Mawsley]

Disasters are exciting; everyone sees a chance for a happy ending.

 

[bocadillo]

Probably more relevant than your point.

I wasn't making a point. I was replying to your effort of trying to liken the situation here to the ridiculousness of what went on at your place a little while ago. The two things are not the same, with our owners not seeming to tend towards the irrational.

 

[bocadillo]

It would not seem to do so if his future was directly linked to our present league position. There is though a body of opinion that suggests that it should not be. Our owners have done nothing to suggest that they don't share this view.

You were making the point that the two things are not the same with your retorical question.

What's rational about keeping a manager, who has you bottom of the Premier league, adrift by 5 points, with the only opportunity to use their money to strengthen the club just around the corner?

Nigel's future should not be linked to your league position?
This is a wind up, right?

Saying it twice won't help

Some people are beyond help.

Well actually there is a strong rationale.

I accept that our position is more or less beyond help for this season so there is every sense in the focus being on next season and who is most likely to get us promoted. I quite understand that the theory is better than the practice and in reality a losing manager inevitably has to go. nevertheless there is sense in keeping Pearson to do what he is good at - then being hard headed and getting rid.

You seem surprising obsessed with drawing parallels with CCFC. Don't think that works when taken to extremes. Cardif seemed to implode partly for non-football related reasons which are not transferable to Leicester's miserable plight. I guess you are in a prolonged bout of post-relegation angst. Understandable - but realistically Cardif have been a mainly second tier outfit - Leicester's history is a bit better than that. No offence intended.
