Pearson
- Thread starter glosfox
- Start date
I'll probably get flack but here goes, I'd not class myself as a Pearsonite when he was here or anti Pearson, but I don't get the amount of stick dished out to him over the last 5 years on here. Pre his last season his record was, for me impressive. Two titles and two play offs. I'll admit the football played in 2014/15 was dreadful between around October to March but we stayed up with games to spare. His public relations were awful in his last season but since he left I don't recall him bad mouthing the club and he was put in an unbelievably awkward situation by his twat of a son. Just my opinion but apart from his spell at Derby I've always wished him well. Was told by Jake Buxton's dad within half an hour of his first meeting with the Derby players he'd alienated 90% of them by the way, maybe explains why his record was so bad there.

Some of you forget he got us out league one when we were big fish in a small pond, got us promoted to Epl, his son got him the tintak, u can't Diss him.
Give the man some respect he was the architect for the team that won the league.

One could argue that the MOF forced his hand there, at least from how I understand things.
He came back. Then he and his assistants won 2 promotions and assembled a squad capable of winning the Prem, with ease looking back!

A bag of tools (no pun intended) is just a bag of tools. How they are put to use, and what they create, depends on whose hands they are in. Step forward Mr Ranieri. It's as simple as that. Just remember that Pearson very nearly got "his team" relegated the previous season.

Hmmmm. Every new manager has little choice about inheriting the old managers squad. however...
Kante never played under Pearson.
Okazaki never played under Pearson
Fuchs never played under Pearson
Albrighton barely played under Pearson
Simpson barely played under Pearson.
That's half a team. Plus different formation, tactics and mentality.
The title win was fack all to do with Pearson in my opinion. Fack all.

Can he speak English? Doubt it so it would be like Bielsa trying to keep us up.

Pearson didn’t oversee a single game with those 15/16 players playing together.
Not one.
That can’t really be debated it’s just a fact.

I thought you was talking bout Bielsa?

Don’t be stupid I didn’t especially like his interviews and his arrogance but it was his team that won the league what part of that didn’t you understand?
Ranieri did good job as well obviously but he must take credit for building the team.
Yes but what can't be debated is Pearson brought most of these players, Installed the team spirit which served us so well, also acquired the sports science team that did so well. So yes he built the team that won the league it was just someone else at the helm when we won it. Without Pearson we wouldn't of won the league and that's a fact.

by that weird logic it was pearsons and puels team that won the fa cup. after all, only three of the starting team were purchased by rodgers.

3 is a lot out of 11, so almost every player that won the league was signed by Pearson and you say he deserves no credit.
What wrong with people, fucking unreal
I don’t especially like him but it’s just a fact you can’t fucking debate it
