So has Mowbray and Boothroyd. I don’t know what credentials having been sacked from Leicester having inherited a team that had won the premier league yet achieved nothing with them gives him. He’s done nothing successful as a manager and Leicester aside his win ratio is shit at every club he’s managed. He’s a nothing manager who fluked a job in the premier league through circumstance not ability.
That mantra by Grendel will continue even if Robins left and replaced by Klopp, Pepp & Jose all rolled into one because in his strange mind there is no-one out there who could possibly be better at managing ccfc than him any sort of success narks him, a strange supporter.Well you challenge him by idiotically ordering taxis every year - is there actually some hope that you might be gone?
He was Leicester manager the season before they won the PL.
Both managers got clubs promoted to the PL, which I’d definitely define as a success.
A lot of Leicester fans I know credit him for laying the groundwork that led to the title winning season and are still fond of him.
Robins is currently the most successful manager in the country outside of the premier league. Any manager would have got that Leicester team promoted, they cheated their way out of administration and the new owners poured loads of money in
And what has he done since then?
Leicester going into Administration and Pearson winning promotion happened 12 years apart.
The same club owner who subsequently made Pearson manager at OH Leuven?!
Yeah the football league changed the rules not long after didn’t they? Basically back then you could get into loads of debt and start again without any repercussions. We should have done it!
Who was that out of interest? I have blocked a lot of that period out haha
To go from League 1 up to the PL is going to take serious investment most of the time.
Fair doos. My memory has let me down. They did get promoted under him with a big budget though, so big it broke FFP rules. I doubt he’d achieve anything under the constraints Robins has had and his record (Leicester aside) isn’t anything to write home about. I still wouldn’t want him over Robins and I suspect that the best he’d ever be here would be a flash in the pan like Mowbray. Robins has given us continued success, the team has kicked on every season under constraints and adversity. I really don’t know why people think anyone else could do better under the same circumstances.
I don’t want him as manager either but would have preferred him over Coleman back in 2007 - I think he’d proven to be more successful for us.
I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that they had a good squad but I don’t remember them spending a 100million but what they had and still do was a match winning striker plucked from the lower leagues Jamie Varney, his goals brought success and that has been built on very well. They will miss him when he needs replacing.
Also turned them around at the end of the season, got them title winning form, which they carried on into the next.
I think almost anyone would have. The first mistake SISU made was sacking Dowie and appointing Coleman.
Pearson is not a top manager though. His record since proves my point
Yeah we should definitely sack the most successful manager currently outside of the premier league. Have a word with yourself pal
