WHAT ?? "I'm sorry gentlemen, your choice of RDM has negated the takeover" ????? As if he would decide who to sell to on the basis of their choice of new manager ???? J****C*****onapolicehorse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhap due to Craig Johnson (sp) ?

I wouldn't mind a copy of that - without the 'humour'

Sounds like JPA's first season to me

Me too - his time has passed - but a glorious time - at times ....

The original article said "presentable offer" - some read it as "suitable" - no matter - who decides what's acceptable ? The Club obviously. We hold the high cards here.- and as occasionally happens, the agents are pushing harder than the player, IMO

Is it possible to watch on a 10" screen???

More chance of Ellis's son taking over...

Isn't that the truth

So someone posts "I think that....." But you KNOW ??

Wouldn't that be a loss?

I was only querying the doubts expressed about his on-field attitude - given what he hoped would happen, As for his agent - we all think he'll be gone - so why be surprised/upset?? He gets his wish - though taint by association might harm his rep - but I doubt it.

Really ??

Attitude ?? You would fault his attitude ?? Geezus - I'll grant that occasionally he has fallen victim to the poor play malaise that has infected the others - but dont confuse that with attitude. He is, like Ayew, a player who would improve a lot in a decent team...

My God - the club issue a statement - and so many here are reading into it - exactly what they want to read. "While it is of little solace at present, the process of identifying the root causes of our circumstances started long ago and the focus now has to be looking forward and making sure lessons have been learnt" now that - to me - indicates they know what went wrong - autopsy completed - and the next step is being taken. Good. Part of me wishes he'd sell the club to the first shyster that borrows !00 mil and then piles the debt on the club. Be careful what you wish for - you might end up with a Venkys or a Gaydamak or a Cellino or Yeung - 6 months later, you'll need a new blanket with a new slogan It's human nature that some here are glass half-full and some are glass half-empty - but I've never seen so many whose glass has been stolen by Steve Harrison for nefarious purposes

It is pretty bad form to misquote I agree - my error was a partial quote. I apologize for that - buty I would seriously dispute "the top half form all season" So what ? As regards their 'good run' last year, it was really the opposite. Apart from one very bad run they were top half form all season, not the other way around. Which, if you look through Pearsons history, is common almost every time. His sideshave bad runs, but go on extended good runs - something we haven't done for as many years as I remember. It doesn't make him great, but it is a worthy enough c.v. Wonder how many more times this will need posting ? BTW After 7 games in 2014 - Leicester were 12th - close enough - I'll give you that It's too easy to pick any number of games and project the record over a season - it's slightly disingenuous to claim that the last 20 matches were top half form when in fact the last 9 games yielded 22 pts ( Title form ?) and the prior 11 yielded only 9. (relegation form?). Let's face it those last 9 games were a complete freak - and distort any weighted average BTW - I have no agenda against Pearson - if anything I am coming round to the idea - just hope he has learned to know when to open his mouth.

One very bad run ?? Top half form all season??? They got: 2 pts in Aug 6 pts in Sept 1 pt in Oct 1 pt in Nov 3 pts in Dec 4 pts in Jan 1 pt in Feb 1 pt in Ma 12 pts in Apr 9 pts in May

Pearson is a hell of a manager - we had to employ TWO managers to get 16 points from 29 games - Pearson did it all on his own.

Not so sure about Reilly.....

I concur

Nice of you to remember to let us know ......

So can RL

well, he has had a taste of it - that's where we spotted him

TWO goalies ?? One who has just signed for PNE on loan? Pfft

Why loan him to a Championship club? He'll be on the books of one soon enough
