Why should being in the relegation zone at New Year matter - you either want to give him time or you don't! Personally I don't, why let him completely destroy everything, an as comparisons to previous managers are in, is he to be the new Tommy Doc!?

Look how quick Burton and Toons got forward. He is trying to change the old style but some are still there.............. And is he not a good enough manager to get this idea across to the players he has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some are stuck in a rut and have spent a couple of seasons playing the slow pass pass style we seem to be moving away from. Also it does not help when we have a player like Thorne out, someone able to move the ball quickly and accurately. If we had Thorne now - it would mean Hughes could play further up ........Until Thorne comes back we have to try and make do, I think he is a big miss for us.

Well as I say, does not say much for his managerial ability if he can't teach players new things because they are 'stuck in a rut'. What happened to all of his experience that you kept on going on about? As for Thorne we all knew he would be out for a while and if the manager thought he didn't need replacing or we could get by without him it would make me question how much he bothered researching our team.

Thorne is a massive miss for us and trying to replace him with either Bryson or Hughes is not working too well [one likes to run up front linking up the front line and one likes to create play in the middle - but maybe we have no alternative till Thorne comes back.

Also wasn't Lineker instrumental in bringing together a consortium that helped to revive the fortunes of LCFC? As I previously mentioned, seems some foxes fans are intent on re writing history. A few folk who claim to support the club must really have it in for some former players and managers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robglosta Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I swear some fans would be content if we changed managers every 1/4 season unless we were top 2. Where has this all stemmed from? It's a disgrace. The club are one rash sacking (Pearson) away from being tarred with the Leeds United brush, and we all know how that ends up. A little patience is needed, if that isn't obvious and you want instant success then stick your ST on Ebay until Pearson has had some time to embed his philosophy on the club. Use the money you make to fund six months of garden centre visits with the wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where has this all stemmed from? It's a disgrace. It's come from the 'philosophy', no doubt put about by managers. that they need a whole season or more to be judged on. Phuket why can't we make a decision as to whether they know what they're doing sooner than that? The examples of success are far rarer than the confirmations of failure.

Rev Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Just think where Watford would be right now, if they'd only given the manager time! 4 managers in their promotion season, wasn't it, the one who got them up let go, the one who kept them up let go, fools. I'm not sure of the point I'm making, but it's a good un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers without that experience get 6 games before they should be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
