Bris Vegas Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Of languishing in the bottom half of the Championship with an overbloated squad on high wages.... This is what we're facing now! We've thrown all our eggs in one basket with Nigel Pearson, and you've got to ask whether it's worth it or not? One success at Leicester, that's all we're clinging on to... Doing a Leicester! Right now, with this squad, I'd say that's very, very, very unlikely. If we were going to go down that route, we needed to change half of this squad. Oh well.

Don't follow this statement - surely in the scenario you've painted we would get rid (after "giving him time") so in what way have all our eggs been thrown? By my reckoning, we're about neutral on spend this window so as yet haven't thrown anything at Pearson. That's not to say there isn't some bloat that has built up.

If you can switch off your support just like a tap then you were never a true supporter in the first instance! Think you're just a headline chaser.

If we were going to go down that route, we needed to change half of this squad. Oh well. whether that's true or not, the squad needed a shake up. Under 3 separate managers with almost the same squad, we've failed to achieve promotion over 3 years... Why is throwing our eggs in one basket with Pearson such a bad thing, he's our only manager in the past few years to have actually achieved promotion, whether that adds to his credibility is debatable but I can understand our logic in appointing him when the squad is filled with the quality it is, but has come close without ever achieving promotion. When Leicester went up, they dominated this division, 2013/14 they were the only team to play us off the park, they just looked a class above so it's hardly like he's got a reputation for playing unattractive football either. We've spent £8 million so far and one loan while our incomings so far are £10 million with Martin also looking likely to leave for a hefty fee (this is obviously likely to change by tomorrow). That's good business, bringing in 2 quality strikers while potentially offloading one and a midfielder who most likely Burnley have over-spent to get, well done Sam Rush I say. The foundations are solid, we have just yet to find our footballing feet, keep the faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weve just sold Hendrick for £10.5 million, who I thought you didnt rate, so how has that harmed us or the "high wage" bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It wasn't exactly enjoyable for large parts of last season either - I'd rather see what Pearson can do than go through that crap again - imo he can't be worse than Clement from an entertainment perspective at least. Maybe this time we don't fall apart at Christmas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
