    indeed, my opinion depends on who replaces him, I dont want redknapp, I also feel dyche would be a bad choice.

    If your a rope maker in Leicester this week,you will certainly be having Turkey and all the trimmings this christmas.
    Lets not forget the role these owners of ours have played these past years.I'm sick to the f*cking backteeth already of hearing what Pearson has done for us.Yes he has done some good stuff,but when royally payed for the privilage of managing a great club he aint done too bad himself

    I would somewhat agree it was in relation to that incident.

    I would expect Nige to still be manager now if it wasn't for 3 stupid amateur players.

    I do not know the full reason for the sacking but I think the owners have ****ed up. All the anti Pearson brigade will be chuffed to bits I am sure, hanging out the flags.

    Who we get. Another old **** like Sven great! League 1 for the King Power Foxes?

    Purely a marketing move for the fans in Bangkok........what has this old croc achieved in the last 5 years? Spent 100 million at a Anzhi and didn't make the Champions league! The list of names is crap apart from Klopp which lets face it will never ever happen.

    Wonder when the owners will bail and we can have our club back, instead of being a far east marketing machine.

    Everyone is entitled to say what they feel Foxin.
    You know me,never been that keen and really not that fussed he's been fired.
    I have to laugh at this circulation on social media saying the club cant function without him.Its bollocks and we all know it.

    Tell ya what,lets keep Pearson and let the owners leave.

    The social media thing might not be that far off. At the moment we still have Shakey and Walsh but if they go to work with Pearson we have lost the whole set up. Most of this team of players, the whole set up is 4/5 years of Pearson's work. Last time he went we fell apart, remember the 6-1 spanking at the hands of Pompey under Sousa? You can not just change the philosophy of the club at the drop of a hat.

    My fear is we go back to the 2000s of being shit, Hiddink will be a crusty old crock in my opinion, he is responsible for the Dutch national sides demise. Sven mark 2.

    I have lost any respect for the owners, its clear we are a plaything. When Top gets bored he will cast us away. Their only worry is what the people and government of Thailand think, they do not give 2 shits about the average working man from Leicester. Right now I would rather have our club back in League 1 instead of being the King Power marketing outlet for the UK.

    Social media "not far off"?Have a day off mate.Some showing the hysteria they are is damn right pathetic.
    The owners have had every chance to give Pearson the bullet over the years but stayed patient with him and gave full backing.
    Like you say,we don't know the full story so why assume its the owners that are in the wrong everytime?

    These people have been excellent for our club and they will continue to push us forward.
    Be careful what you wish for.

    Who are we going to bring in to progress this team? All the names are toss apart from Klopp which wont happen. Hiddink is a ****ing old giffer looking for a final pay cheque, just like Svenis.

    Pearson has made them a shit tonne of cash which it seems they about to spunk away, he has had bad periods but I feel the main reason they were patient is because they do not have a ****ing clue about football, or what makes a good manager, they had absolutely no idea who to replace hi, with, just like now!

    We are not Leicester City anymore are we? We are the King Power Foxes of Bangkok a marketing machine, its all bullshit. IMO

    They couldn't give a flying **** about the working man in Leicester it proves, all that matters is the King Power brand image in Thailand, quite frankly I couldn't give a flying ****

    At the minute they are pushing us backwards, we had stability and a plan for the future now we have no manager, preseason starting in a week and no idea who will be in charge, yet we are still signing a load of player.

    best case is we keep the backroom staff, Shakey as head coach and Hiddink to be the marketing face for Thailand.

    foxin mad remember we were heading down until cambiasso advised pearson.

    Dont write the new manager off before he starts.

    I also wouldnt consider sven a disaster, sousa was but not sven, sven took us from bottom after 10 games to the brink of the playoffs and we played some amazing football.

    I have no idea if the Cambiasso thing is true. We also started the season that way.

    Sven was a disaster. He spent crazy amounts of money and assembled a team of mercenaries, it took Pearson 2 years+ to ship out the deadwood. We had no team, no structure the club was a mess. His best period was when he played with Pearsons players.

    I will write of Hiddink because he has achived nothing in 5+ years. Its clear what his motivation is......pension top up.

    I think Gus Hiddink would be a great appointment for us and shows real intent from us that we want bigger and better things instead of relegation battles every season.Yes Pearson did a good job and I applaud him for that,but with his attitude,smugness and childish antics it was time for him to leave and the owners gave him enough chances when other would not of.As for Sven I think if had joined us when we were in the prem he would of made us a very decent side because the championship is a whole new ball game.To be honest I wouldn't mind Sven coming back now.

    Anyway Pearson as good and it is time for a new chapter to start and I think if we can get the right man in we have all the makings of a top 8 team imo.

    I think Hiddink is way past his best. He was a great manager, but in recent years he's lost it. He took over a Dutch team that finished 3rd at the World Cup and managed to get them 5 points behind Iceland and 3 behind Czech Republic in the Euro 2016 qualifiers with 4 games to go. For the first time ever, the Dutch FA sacked a manager during a qualifying campaign. Not the right choice imo.

    Yes that is quite some achivement! Just what we need an older giffer. I am sure some dutch fans said their is a possibility he could be going senile. Hopefully the owners arent that stupid but then again hes loved in the far east so probably ticks every box for tge King Power foxes.
