offix Posted 18 November, 2008 Share Posted 18 November, 2008 are happy bunnies right now. Happy with NP that is. I spoke to some of them who were on Holidays here (wearing their colours) and they tell me that the mix of young and experienced players is working out really well, and that NP has them fitter then they have been for a number of seasons, and he has them really motivated and working hard for every ball. Leaves me to think of what might have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanh Posted 18 November, 2008 Share Posted 18 November, 2008 Hardly surprising that you'll find some happy fans of a team up at the top of their league. I bet you'll also find a load of happy S****horpe fans as well and they were also relegated last season. Means very little to Saints IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 18 November, 2008 Share Posted 18 November, 2008 Leicester fan I spoke to earlier today says that they're playing pretty poorly and relying heavily on Fryatt and Lloyd Dyer. My boss is a Leicester fan and thinks compared to the last 2 seasons they are playing miles better. Scoring a lot more goals and creating more. Have a more physical disiplined team. Haven't had anyone sent off and are scoring for fun, even Oakley has apparently been scoring... Any Leicester fan who thinks they are playing poor compared to what they have played for the best part of 10 years i doubt is a real supporter in truth as they have never had it so good.

Leicester established themselves in the Premiership with four successive top ten finishes. O'Neill was the first manager to win silverware for 26 years, winning the League Cup twice, in 1997 and 2000, and Leicester were runners-up in 1999.

saintjay77 Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 I wonder how That Leicester team would do in the CCC this season had they played our games? They did well enough to go down last season so my guess is they would be near the bottom. In fact I think there are probably a couple of games that they would have got better results in and a couple that would have been worse. Maybe 1 or 3 points difference so I dont look at them with envy. They went down and good luck to them coming back up. We stayed up and good luck in keeping us up. There are no other comparissons.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 This is a ridiculous thread, you can see that people who dislike Lowe are making things up. The agenda's on here is utterly ridiculous. Personally, I'm somewhere in the middle of the debate, but I am getting pushed more and more towards the like Lowe 'faction' because the Lowe haters talk absolute bull. It's ridiculous. I know 2 Leicester fans, and they are non-plussed about Pearson. The football is sh!t (as expected with Pearson), but they're grinding out results. If they start to lose a couple there will be calls for Pearsons head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzmeister Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 One of the points to the origoanl thread was that the Leicester team is fit. I dont think this can be critised of our team now, we seem fitter than a number of seasons and the squad we have are putting everything in. I know the results have not gone our way - and there is no saying we would have been any better had pearson been here (we would of had the same squad afterall and id be suprised if Pearson would have achgieved the same passing style we are playing now). Get behind the team. This is one for the future.

He deserved a chance IMO and did well to save us so late on but his CV and a few changed opinions doesnt turn him into the next england manager. I admit that he was slated by many on here and I confess that I also had my doubts. But having seen how he acquitted himself in media interviews, I amended my viewpoint a bit and thought that unusually in football, here was a guy who knew his own mind and was able to articulate his thoughts well. Then I watched him slowly turn around a team that was on the floor confidence wise and give them some belief. He brought in some great loan players to shore up the defence and we became hard to beat. It seemed to me that the team was also much fitter than it had been under Burley too. When it became clear that Lowe/Wilde would take over, I hadn't really contemplated that Lowe would get shot of Pearson, as it would be really foolish to do so, being as he had proven to be effective and was popular with the fans. I reiterate that. There was a poll on here to establish his popularity and it was a very high satisfaction rating. I am certain that Lowe getting rid of Pearson has exacerbated the low attendance figures, which have subsequently declined further with the failure so far of the mad experiment implemented by Lowe and JP. Total conjecture, but I have no doubt in my mind that Pearson would have us higher up the table than naive Jan, even under the same team circumstances.

You reckon that the same players would somehow lose their ability to pass under Pearson? IMO the same players would probably be instructed to get the ball more quickly into the box and there would almost certainly be two strikers there to capitalise on it, which is an area where JP notably falls down on.

Not sure about being any higher up the table though and very much doubt we would have the same team. the cost of pearson has got us JP and Wotte if what we are led to believe is correct so there would be added cost in keeping pearsons 2nd in command and backroom staff. this cost would have to come from somewhere and if cost is what kept John and Skacel out of the team then we could also have seen Davis and Euell out of the squad too. Its impossible to say what would happen or could have happend but Im with you in thinking that Pearson deserved a chance and if cost wasnt the deciding factor then I think we have missed out.

NickG Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 (edited) Lawrie Mac wrote this in his Echo column, just after he appointed NP "I was speaking to Alex Ferguson on Tuesday morning as he waited to board his flight to Lyon and his comments were a good appointment". Story I was told was the Fergie was literally going on plane, Lawrie said about the appointment and said what do you think. Got the above response and Lawrie came off telling others he would use it as an endorsement of their choice. Fergie may have said elsewhere he rated him, but thats the one I heard joked about. (not saying Fergie doesn't rate him or slagging him off -just was recounted to me at the time as funny story about LMc openly playing up a passing comment!)

So, from the above, you are actually agreeing that Fergie did actually say that it was a good appointment, whatever difference that makes. Regardless, IMO Pearson has an infinitely larger chance of one day managing in the PL than JP does. In fact it could have been with us if those in charge had chosen stability for once and stuck with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 just pointing out there is bit of difference between Fergie making passing comment, after appointment, when directly asked, along lines of yea good whatever got a plane to catch - and LMc telling people this and then laughing about how it is written up, and him being "rated" by Fergie. Not bad bloke or manager but hardly hottest property in football and Fergie dream replacement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
