Some people just don't get it? As I couldn't be MORE behind the new Manager .....and my comment was far from snidey IMO. You must surely be aware of the constant criticism LM has received by a number of posters since he was appointed, forever stating that we are no better off than before NP was dismissed? I have always taken the stance that comparing his achievements over a period since November (21 games yesterday) with NP's two and a half years was misleading and unfair, and that patience and tolerance were needed to allow LM to introduce and adopt a new playing style. I stated on numerous occasions, that given time, I felt that LM would be prove to be a success and in the long term would prove to be a major step forward. But NO, I was told by other posters that we are NO better off, and why was NP dismissed, as we should have stuck with him, and are in the same place as we were under NP anyway? My remark was aimed at those posters who constantly referred to the "Nothing has Changed" syndrome, and was meant as a humourous reference to their lack of patience with the new manager.....who has, as i have predicted on numerous instances started to turn things around. I note that i have received around 20 replies to my innocuous aside, I cannot be bothered to read any , other than yours, as i imagine they are of the same kneejerk quality, and completely miss my point? To finish, if you can be bothered to read......I was a big fan of NP, and felt he was poorly treated by management, but just like you, I more than adequately have got behind the new manager, and have defended his approach and tactics on this forum many times to his detractor's I despair sometimes at the over reactions on this site by certain posters, some people need to get a sense of humour, and get off their high horse? In My Considered Opinion, of course?

I note the "Cult of Nige" are quiet tonight? Ha! PS.Not that i have anything against Uncle Nigel.

Blimey......I am not gonna post for a while..........I am fed up with ongoing pedants analysing every iota, and picking over each semantic meaning.........I think i will stick to reading all of the balanced and constantly logical posts that appear on here on a daily basis? Ha!

For me, trying something new shows ambition. Ambition is - "A strong wish to achieve something" Maybe it will be successful , maybe it will fail?........but the powers that be, decided to try something new and different. . Like it or Not, and you may consider it foolhardy, but it cannot be denied that it is ambitious?

Of course NP designated 2 coaches to look after the training. You are misinterpreting what i said. NP did not spend much time, himself, on the training pitch, that is a fact, and all that i said.........you are reading something else into my words, just to be contentious.

If you want to compare Nigel Pearson With Alex Ferguson that's fine. I was making the point that NP did barely any coaching, it was not a criticism, merely an observation

Nigel Pearson did practically no coaching...........I never referred to Euell and Fleming. The subject of my post was Nigel Pearson. So Please do not make up untruths to suit your own agenda .

It is completely dependent on your POV? I think NP did a fantastic job of clearing out the deadwood, stabilising our finances and establishing us as a secure Championship club. I think his dismissal was handled abysmally, and after he had achieved so much, he deserved to be treated with more respect. However we will never know if he would have got us promoted, maybe?, maybe not? The club decided to go in a new direction, with a young coach, who spent his time on the training ground, rather than in the office, I personally can see the long term logic in that, some don't? Whether you like it or not, that shows ambition. As to whether it is misguided ambition depends on your outlook. I think it was a good move, and believe it will succeed in the long run....others would have preferred NP to have remained in the job, and to have been given funds. I think it was ambitious to appoint a young tracksuit coach.....you do NOT....it is all about opinion? All we can do is sit back and see what develops, because Nigel is NOT coming back.

LM has been in the job for approximately 14 weeks. Funds are being released in the summer from the 35 million that has been accrued from transfers out. You either believe we are making progress or you don't, depending on your POV. The definition of Ambition is: : : - " A desire and a strong wish to be successful" Whatever your position, it cannot really be denied that WE ARE showing ambition? Whether that is fulfilled is a different matter? Personally i support Manning and believe he will, given some time, prove to be successful, and dependent on our Summer signings, I intend to put my money down on us finishing in the Top 6 next season. That is either blind ambition or foollhardiness? Ha!!

And?

I sincerely feel sorry for anyone who is afraid of dogs, as most of them are friendlier and better company than many humans IMO.

So Max making numerous outstanding save"s, doesn't make him outstanding. OK

Spot on. And where is this proven top striker, that no club in their right minds would release in the Jan window, anyway? Like you, i would love to hear some named candidates?

Yeah...........God Bless Freedom! While i appreciate the need to be vigilant in certain circumstances, this is yet another step to control people and take away their rights. This kind of action, alongside Anti protest laws are just another brick in the wall to monitor individuals? IMO

100%.........HE WAS OUTSTANDING

Great write up as usual! Poor Old Harry!...........he had the opportunity, after all the flak he has taken, to get his name in the headlines, and become a hero not to be forgotten? But, yet again he failed..... Sorry Harry....but if this was a reality show, you'd be voted out? P.S. Yes, I know, it's mean to pick on him

Just got to see the highlights for the first time,.....superb shot and save from Tommy first half, great snapshot from James, and although Wells maybe, should have done better, so should Cornick from a great Nakhi set up? We looked excellent. All i would say about Sam Bell's pen, was that my coach told me years ago, that all keepers want to be a hero in a shoot out, and almost always commit....so put it as hard as possible down the middle? Still, he's a professional footballer, and i'm not?

Mmmm right.....yeah, whatever you say?

Forget about it........it was just about impossible to sign a quality striker in the Jan window. I believe the players are starting to get the hang of LM'S tactics and how he prefers to play, add a good striker, Max Bird and one or two others and I am looking forward to next season?...........Even a cynic like me, can see good times ahead............?

Still we will beat them next season in the Championship.............so that's something to look forward to? Ha !!

Kinda ironic?

Am i being thick? if there is immediate footage of the goal, and it is being filmed.....where is the live stream?

Oh! What a Knight !

Poor old DES! It's almost a mirror reflection of our own wonderful forum? Some want Des to succeed, and others believe he is tactically inept? It's the same old, same old, which is a mixture of intelligent insight, and knee jerk stupidity. I would imagine Fan forums are pretty much similar everywhere, (apart from the club name), where ever you choose to delve into?

I remember that so well!! It was extraordinary, that after completing a glorious hat trick, his hamstring went, and so did our chances of being Champions? I was also at Bolton when Bob tried his very very best to conjure something up, but he was strapped up to protect his hamstring, and just couldn't do it? I am utterly convinced that if he had NOT become injured....we would have won the League that season................Gas won it by default IMO?
