Wiltshire Saint Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks he could do a job for us here? Better than Pardew is managing anyway.
Legod Third Coming Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks he could do a job for us here? Better than Pardew is managing anyway. Hahahahah. Edinburgh is where they do comedy friend, not Wiltshire
Fowllyd Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Hahahahah. Edinburgh is where they do comedy friend, not Wiltshire Come now, you must have heard of the Orcheston Fringe - as sported by Mick Channon back in the 70s!
sadoldgit Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 Who's talking about Pearson apart from you, you sad obsessed idiot. Are you Alpine is disguise?
alpine_saint Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Are you Alpine is disguise? The bog-standard reply to anyone who dares to disagree with you, despite blatant evidence that history for most people has chosen not to be kind to Georgio Burlinho... CB Fry is spot-on about you.
slickmick Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Funny that as Pearson managed for 13 whole games and he has been judged as some kind of hero for us??? Ah, I see, that 1 game mkes all the difference!!! Frankly I think anyone who can break the Celtic/Rangers monopoly/monotomy deserves some credit, as do they for taking a team like Ipswich up and into Europe. But then once we have someone to blame for our demise let's not let any facts get in the way. Still find it odd that someone who won football matches and scored lots of goals is derided more than the bloke who took us down, but that is internet chat sites for you I suppose. The point you keep missing is that those people who thought Pearson was a good manager weren't judging him by statistics, they were judging him by the way he turned a team of pretty footballers who passed the ball to death without crossing the half way line, to a team that played with passion and purpose with more end product. He turned things around in just a mere13 games, albeit a bit late to adjust the statistics you so love. For me and many others, you could see his potential. Milan Mandaric did aswell. So I think you are fighting a lost cause on this one, because as statistics show, he is doing for Leicester what many of us felt he could have done for us.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 (edited) Bern, If Burley gets the Fratton job you can pop down to see just how good he is! Sorry couldn't resist it. Getting rid of Hart is madness for them. Much as I hate Poopey, I have to admit Hart had them playing with spirit and not a little skill. Sacking him will be the biggest nail in their coffin imo. I really can't believe they have done what they have. This proves the lunatics have well and truly taken over the asylum. Wouldn't be at all surprsied to see Burley unveiled.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 Will not be him. Grants not got his licence - Burley must be in with a shout and he's cheap enough.

Well it would give his detractors on here more ammo that's for sure! Still as we know, different managers fair differently at different clubs. Can you imagine if he took the job and made them successful! Poor old Alpine would throw himself off the nearest mountain!!

saint lard Posted 24 November, 2009 Posted 24 November, 2009 (edited) Grant does not have the pro license so therefore cannot be installed as coach or manager. He had to have taken it before 01/01/10,he was not on the last intake therefore misses the deadline. Edited 24 November, 2009 by saint lard

If he took the job and made them successful I would buy you a season ticket. Lots of names bounded about on Sky - Dowie for one! I really do think they have made a massive mistake. I have seen Poopey play on tv quite a few times this season and much as it grieves me to admit it, they were actually playing well. If I was a Chairman of a struggling CCC side tonight I'd be checking out Hart's contact details (and let's not forget he saved them last season after Adams poor time in charge). Back to Burley - I await his next appointment with interest. Peterborough anyone?

Sorry, I don't get it. I don't agree that he truned things round, although if he had had a season maybe he would have. As for Leceister, different set, up different circumstances. You can bet if they don't go up in 2 seasons he will be sacked. What you and many others seem to miss is what I am trying to say. My point (and yes I do use stats to back it up) is that we call someone who actually managed to get the highest win ratio of any manager we have had "rubbish" and a "car wreck" when he obvioulsy wasn't from his record. Pearson on the other hand by those same people (and Pearson had a lot of detractors on here too) barely managed to keep us up and he is a hero. If this forum had been around when McMenemy took us down and then spent 3 years getting us back up with players like Channon in the side can you imagine the grief he would have got? Redknapp spent £6m and took us down. Nicholl squandered the legacy that McMenemy left behind. Strachan bottled the Cup Final squad selection. No critisism for them. Burely had one full season in which he achievd what he set out to do and that is make the play offs. His side played attacking football and only Sunderland scored more that season (and we had the 4th best goal difference). Yes he made mistakes but he also provided the most successful season since Strachan so I'm afraid I can't subscribe to the "rubbish" tag. I also find it odd that some people hope and pray that he will fail in future jobs, all so they can come back and say I told you so I suppose. Oh well, that Brits for you. Build people up then knock them down. I wish him well for the future, unless he ends up down the road of course!

No critisism for them. Yes, you're right. No Saints fan has ever had a single bad word to say about Harry Redknapp, Chris Nicholl or Gordon Strachan on their tenures at Southampton. Not one word of criticism from any Saints fan, ever. What a total spanner you are.

What a total spanner you are. You know what I mean, none of them get the continued abuse as ex managers that Burley gets do they?? If you don't like my posts don't read them. I take it back, you are not Alpine in disguise, you are worse.
