Henry Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Robbored said: Absolutely right. Add to that the old adage of “never go back”. Nige is held in high regard at Leicester and and to risk losing that respect is not something he’d want to lose. You know Pearson did go back before and it worked out really well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Nigel has been through a lot of pain to get us where we are now. Why would he want to chuck all of that out of the window to start all over again at another club where the pressure for results is arguably more intense ? When you don’t have financial worries more money is not necessarily the prime motive for a lifestyle choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your OP, unsure Leicester can spend big this season and to acquire Scott and Semenyo this January they certainly would need to!

robin for life Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 I'll say it now, and it may get laughed at, but I am pretty sure it will happen. Rodgers will get until the World Cup. But after the World Cup, Southgate will leave England and whilst he has done nothing at Club level he'll be an appointment Leicester would look to make. Leicester don't strike me as the types to accept relegation battles and wouldn't panic in the big Sam, Sean Dyche set up. They will want a young hungry progressive manager and I firmly believe the only reason they haven't sacked Rodgers already is because they know Southgate will be available after the World Cup and he would be a good long term appointment for them, and would help them keep hold of the likes of Barnes and Maddison in January.

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 11 minutes ago, Pezo said: This subject comes up pretty much every time we're near the top 6 and a lower prem team sacks there manager. When was the last time it actually happened to us? When was the last time it happened to any club like ours? Yes, but we haven't had a manager before like Pearson who has an immeasurably higher standing in the game than LJ, and is particularly well thought of at Leicester. No PL club was ever going to 'poach' LJ, most of us knew that. Leicester would certainly at least consider Nige in the scenario put forward by the OP, and he'd be a popular appointment with their fans. However, as others have said he's happy here, he's been through the worst of the clear out, and his team are starting to really make the Championship sit up and take notice. I'm convinced he's getting real job satisfaction by the progress we're all seeing at AG, will see the City job through, and that this will be his last management job. I hope so anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Nobody going to comment on the suggestion in the OP that we may soon be sitting second in the table? Seems a bit optimistic. More surprising though, is the fact that it hasn't been shot down immediately. Think there may be a bit of over-confidence on display. I guess it makes a nice change though.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) You can never tell with football management and some rises are hard to track and quantify. Off topic but 3.5 years ago Potter was losing at Ashton Gate, now he's Chelsea manager! Thought he did okay at Swansea but certainly nothing amazing. Credit for his work in Sweden and clearly at Brighton he improved them year on year but to Chelsea is a fascinating appointment tbh. Would anyone on here have labelled Potter a future Chelsea manager when top half at this level only? Yes I know NP isn't up and coming but I don't see it as likely.

Chairman Mao Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Pearson was sacked after his son was implicated in a racist sex orgy while on a pre season tour in Thailand. Pearson cited 'differences of opinion' at the time. Given the fact he had kept the club up this was clearly a serious rift. As far as I am aware the then owners of Leicester, despite trying to sell the club, are the current owners. I appreciate 7 years is a long time but the rift appears sizable making a return to the club very unlikely imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Only reason for NP to go there would be for money and I doubt he needs it, he would be on a hiding to nothing, if he didn't turn them round by Xmas he would probably get sacked, he is safe here and not under too much pressure.
