It is so easy to blame your predecessor for your faults but it is one that loses my respect for a man. The saying is that you are only as good as the tools you have to work with. Well with the money you spent on so called ‘top’ players 9no pun intended) to be fair Pearson has some dam good tools with which to play!
Sven was sacked after a dismal performance against bottom 3 side Millwall. What then is Nigel’s future after losing to league whipping boys Doncaster and his team putting in a performance against Barnsley that the fans only rated as 3/10. The LOWEST rating given by the fans for any performance this season.
We seem to be taking 3 steps back for every 1 forward.
Other teams and players do not see the current Leicester City side as a threat or an attractive proposition.
How many ‘home’ fans turned up to watch us play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup? You probably know that less than 2,000 of their fans are coming to see the replay. It is a FA Cup local derby but their fans obviously don’t see us as an attractive proposition to watch and it can’t be blamed for being shown live on TV. It is a game that in years gone by would have filled the stadium.
It appears that Billy Sharp has turned down a move to Leicester City or is certainly taking his time over the decision. He should be biting our hand off to join a club that is as cash rich as we are. A player prefers to stay at a club of the likes of Doncaster Rovers rather than come to Leicester City, what does that say about the club at the moment?
It may be over money? So with the wages we must be paying the likes of Mills and co is a top goal scorer not worth pushing the boat out for? Only you can answer that.
Less than 6 months ago with Sven in charge I have a feeling Sharpe would have walked barefoot over broken glass to sign for us. I ask would the likes of Nugent, Schmeichel, Mills etc have signed for Leicester City in our current position?
As one fan put it “Under Sven we were linked with the likes of David Beckham, now we can not even get a striker from Doncaster Rovers.”
Another one wrote “Another season ends in January”
I am & I remain a great supporter of Nigel Pearson, but a season that looked to promise so much looks to be ending in turmoil. 15 days into the January Transfer market and not so much as a loan singing for a manager who is complaining about the standard & depth of his squad.
Fans are demanding action & answers.
A situation you have brought onto yourself by setting such high goals (maybe higher goals is the answer to our scoring problem?).
I don’t expect that you will answer this letter but I hope it at least gives you some food for thought.
