Asha Posted 30 November 2014 Share Posted 30 November 2014 Wow that very true, surprised anyone outside palace fans would know that When you consider he was the first manager in our history to take us outside of the top two tiers, it's easy to imagine the general opinion of the man and his skills as a manager. I honestly don't know how he did what he did at Blackpool. I was absolutely stunned when he took them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asha Posted 30 November 2014 Share Posted 30 November 2014 I'm not having it that anyone can seriously suggest Glen fvcking Hoddle will be our saviour this season. I mean, Christ, let's just get Graham Taylor in and have done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnup Posted 30 November 2014 Share Posted 30 November 2014 Nigel Pearson has proved he's a good manager. At a certain level. But if players need time to adapt surely a manager does. I believe he's capable of learning and growing and fostering a mentality in the team. Last season was immense. I'd like to see him stay even if relegated, learn and grow and then get back stronger.

Dan LCFC Posted 30 November 2014 Share Posted 30 November 2014 The Palace fan basically sums up why I don't want Pulis. Yeah, he's never been relegated before - he's also never been in charge of a Premier League club unsuited to his football like Leicester would be. Wow that very true, surprised anyone outside palace fans would know that Holloway actually sat Damien Delaney down and told him to watch a barcelona video of them playing out from the back because thats what he wanted us to do! He was a complete clown. Don't be too surprised. He managed to take us to League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos88LCFC Posted 1 December 2014 Share Posted 1 December 2014 Tony Pulis would struggle with the players we have, if we get him in it would need to be before Jan so he can scout/buy some players that could handle his style of football. Palace were a good team before Pulis got there, just under very bad management, alot worse than Pearson. I was a anti 'get Pearson out' and still am but I find it hard to understand what his idea was when taking of Ulloa and bringing on Albrighton & all this sitting in the stands crap is getting annoying. I hope Pearson stays though even if it means us going back down to the Championship.... If it wasn't for him we would still be in the Championship, he has worked wonders before (ie every other season he's been in charge) so whats to say he can't turn it around now.

ozleicester Posted 1 December 2014 Share Posted 1 December 2014 Palace fan in peace Pulis did well for us but bare in mind we had a a squad already built for playing counter attacking football we basically had players who love to defend, plus we were lucky to have good wingers, he only bought in 2 of his own players There is no guarantee he would be able to do the same with another squad of players, I doubt Cambiaso would ever play again. I went to the Palace Leicester game and I dont really see you as a Pulis side, you were half the size of our team and played alot more football. Be careful what you wish for, he'll use you like he did us. This is a very valid point, our squad is our biggest problem. Now, NP is responsible for that squad but will changing the manager actually make any difference with the squad we have? Having said that, i havent given up by any stretch, its still early and there is very little separating the bottom 8, tighten a leaky defence and a little luck and we are back fighting for safety.

He won't turn it around as a) his players aren't of the required quality and experience and b) he is tactically inept at this level and doesn't appear to be learning from his mistakes.

Guest Col city fan Posted 1 December 2014 Share Posted 1 December 2014 I think Pearson will probably live to regret the lack of quality signings in the summer. Albrighton has hardly set the world on fire. Cambiasso, I'm afraid, lets oncoming attacking players drift past him far too easily (only some of us seem to see this? ) and Ulloa requires the side to play in a certain way before he looks much good. Simpson hasn't yet played? And where's Powell? The summer was crucial..Pearson had to get this right in terms of signing players who were clearly better than than what we had already. IMO he didn't. Maybe he tried to, but couldn't for many reasons? I dont know? But i do think that, should he lose to Liverpool, he is walking a very very thin line. Although very very new and inexperienced, the fella at Brentford appears to be doing a grand job with them. And comes across as very sensible. We'll see..

Dickov22 Posted 1 December 2014 Share Posted 1 December 2014 Nothing against Pulis but how does everyone know for a fact he's the answer? He's orchestrated the great escape once. Doesn't mean he'd automatically do it for us. The fans who want Pearson out are undoubtably the same fans who wanted the same two seasons ago. Good job the board paid no attention then, and hopefully they won't this time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the summer of zero signings I didnt hear a single person giving us a prayer so to try and cast a shadow on those opinions isn't comparable in my eyes. Its a vastly different situation now. The owners stuck by him as his track record suggested he had the credentials to get us to at least the play-offs. He has no record at Premier league level (apart from a couple of games as a caretaker) and his decision making at this level is baffling to say the least (as you alluded to earlier). Would you continue to play Nugent up front when its quite clear he isnt up to the job? Probably not, so why so keen for Pearson to stay when absolutely everything he's doing at the minute points to him not being a Premiership manager?

Defeats to WBA and QPR is an awful return - nothing to do with having unrealistic expectations. I didn't expect us to win at Stoke, win against Manchester United or getting points off Arsenal or Everton. Besides, we didn't look "absolute gash" against Sunderland or West Brom and only lost the latter game due to a freak own-goal. With the recent loss against QPR, it's a similar case. I'll give you Burnley, letting a 2-0 lead slip away so carelessly was criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing freakish about out defeat to QPR and the Sunderland and WBA games were dreadful, The unexpected points we picked up were a bonus. The fact we haven't capitalised on them is theost disappointing thing of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
