I think, regardless of how people view the current situation that Pearson must be kept in charge! The bloke hasn't had a pre season with ye squad, let him tweak the squad to how he wants it, instill his ideas and fitness levels over the summer and maybe we won't be playing catch up and instead will be leading from front!!
Sacking him would be the worst thing we could do because we would be stuck in the same position again of uncertainity and players unhappy and instead of signing players to improve our squad through the summer we will instead spend it trying to find a manager and then come ye last week of August will panic buy!!

Pearson should be given the rest of the season to get some young blood in and also to try and sort the consistancy thing sorted. the only likely change would be if a manager with a proven record of getting teams out of the championship (upwards) is avaliable.

Nev,

I shouldn’t really get too distracted by what you see on these forums, what JohnGee writes and what your camel tells you. If you remember when Sven was here we had players like Hobbs, Fryatt and Waghorn showing dissention in the ranks as they weren’t playing. Players tend not to like being dropped. That’s all we’ve really seen here. First SSL chucked his dummy out and then Matt Mills when they were dropped. SSL showed the right sort of character to force his way back into the team.

The Beckford situation is a little more complicated. It looks to me like ex Premier League prima donna player and austere, no nonsense, Championship manager having a clash of personalities. It happens and is not particularly unusual. If you watched MOTD on Saturday you would have seen players on the same side aggressively confronting one another. Tensions run high at the business end of the season.

People are looking around for reasons why we’ve failed this season. I see a squad not good enough, a team not cohesive enough and players missing from the jigsaw. Others will say that there is mass dissention in the ranks and Pearson has lost the dressing. The first hypothesis, whether you agree with it or not, is based on observation and assessment. The second is pure speculation, but I’ll leave it to you and your camel to decide which is correct.

I concur with Joby.

my camel concurs with Joby and Dung. me i am just seeing mirages in the Desert

"i am just seeing mirages in the Desert"

That actually sums up our season pretty well.

A family member of mine said at the time we signed Beckford, that Beckford has now signed Sven's death warrant, and he will be gone by Christmas.

As we all know he went quicker than that.

It would be better if this time the player went.
Your paid a wage to do a job, if we don't like it you move on, not sulk or behave with little respect to everyone else.

I concur with Dungeon, therefore I concur with Joby.

I don't see a rift between Pearson and Beckford if I'm honest with you. Whether you like Beckford's attitude or not (I don't) he is a decent championship striker.

He is extremely one dimensional and for this reason I'd quite happily see him leave in the summer. Nugent can do the sane job (and others) better in my opinion.

But the fact that Beckford is in the team, playing and (albeit begrudgingly) doing things he's bot used to all suggest to mr that he and Pearson's relationship is fine. The fact that Pearson didn't publicly criticise him on Saturday also suggests this to me.

I think mixed results are causing people to read too much in to certain situations.

Whether Pearson and Beckford decide that they are not suited to each other in the summer is another matter, but Pearson gas handled him very well for me.

As for the rest - Joby has it spot on.

I concur with Mersey and so Dunge and therefore Joby.

I would actually say the team spirit has improved since Sven left and that is one thing Pearson did get into the side the last time he was here. If you're willing to play for him, then he'll get the best out of you (see Hobbs, Fryatt, Waghorn etc.).

Team spirit is undoubtedly a vital quality in any successful side. Man Utd have it in abundance which has helped them over the years. I think this is born out of continuity and patience. Given a full pre-season and a summer to get dissenting figures out, I'm sure Pearson can get the team spirit within the club.

What's going on? Don't bother asking Marvin Gaye, he seems none the wiser as well.

just keep going KTF

You are right Nev - the absolute must is to keep and show support for the owners. The key is turning up through the turnstiles and then supporting the team- it seems to me we have settled over the past 5 or 6 games (allowing for away support) at around 19/20,000. It also is apparent that this core support really gets behind team and atmosphere has been good. When we get extra 3/4000 these seem to be more prone to booing or moaning at the game.

I am worried re owners as I have posted before and perhaps am over sensitive to situations -the club web page now seems almost devoid of King Power advertising or Thai Airways .....don't seem to have seen any Thai holiday winners last few home games either.

Also here we are in April with no sign of season ticket sales push -

Anyway they cannot be happy at results or repeated unhappy squad issues which is very much at odds with their business culture and approach

I just want to clear one thing up. Pearson has not lost the dressing room. There are signs for it in reception and most of the stadium staff know where it is so don't worry about that.

Thats a relief Gary i bet sometime Stingy wishes he loses the media room though!
