"Sacked in the morning"-Leicester

[TSB]

Surely that's it for Pearson now? Think I'm right in saying they've managed 6 points from last 12 games. McDermott in for game at the Amex?

[Icy Gull]

Maybe they should change to a red kit

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

You never know, but unlikely I would suggest.

 

[portslade seagull]

Hope not keep him there until after they have played us ... Don't want any new manager syndrome effect on Saturday, thanks

 

[Weststander]

Knee jerk boardrooms.

Sack Pearson and bring in McDermott or O'Neill.

I can see that, if he wants it. It will be like going home for him. Must say, the sparkle seems to have gone from O'Neil in the last few months, so maybe he won't want to get back in so quickly, possibly Leicester is one he couldn't turn down though.

Shows how even this league is though, with so few points from 12 games and still only 1 point outside the play-offs.

 

[Kumquat]

Set up for O'Neill isn't it.

I was saying exactly the same thing on the Leicester Millwall thread after the match. Wouldn't be surprised. I expected it over the weekend. They've given him a lot of rope to hang himself with. Foreign owners and all that. They may well have left it too late to avoid the iceberg.

Or Poyet - now that WOULD be a turn-up.

 

[Rugrat]

My Leics mate reckons O'Neill (but then he would, wouldn't he)

 

[BensGrandad]

Set up for O'Neill isn't it.

Except the owners have changed since he was their manager.

 

[Triggaaar]

Or Poyet - now that WOULD be a turn-up.

Poyet is going to manage both teams on Saturday, and then choose the one he stays at after the game.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

... thinking about it, if they did appoint O'Neil this week, I would worry for our chances on Sat.

 

[Ernest]

Sounded on SSN that they weren't playing too badly in the second half

 

[Telford Seagull]

I think he will last till saturday and if we beat them, pearson will be gone

This!!!

They'll probably halt their slide against us on Saturday, knowing us.

It was probably you that I stole the thought from then. He's got to go now, surely as they're potentially a week away from kissing the play-offs goodbye.

I'm not sure how much of their run is due to performances, and how much down to luck:

Sounded on SSN that they weren't playing too badly in the second half

And they played against Millwall with 10 men, and still looked reasonable. I expect a tough game on Saturday.
