    One thing that's always bothered me is why it's pronounced 'peer son' and not 'pear son'

    Fair point but its pronounced pear as rhyming with hear.
    So why is a pear pronounced 'pair'. I give up.
    It's obviously to differentiate the two i.e. you wouldn't have a "pear" of blue tits or a "pair" shaped bottom would you?
    But the pronunciation is the same. So why in the case of ol' Nige is it Pear (Hear) not Pear (pair)

    Do you think that's why they sacked him? :smiley:

    Sacked him?! With such a complicated surname, I'm shocked they hired him!

    Thought you meant Ranieri...then realised you did. Weird decision.

    Ben Hamer has already asked Tinker man Ranieri if he will get a game ?
    1st game NO
    2nd game YES
    3rd game YES
    4th game NO.

    Very good appointment by Leicester, in my opinion. Great experience, including in the Prem. He should be able to attract good talent, with his track record.

    Now that people are debating on the pronunciation of Pearson's name.... As a foreigner, I find the patterns of pronunciation and syllable stress in English are more difficult than those in French which I learned a little bit by myself two years ago. When you see a French word you don't know, you can still pronounce it correctly. That said, I think French is way more complicated than English in terms of grammar...

    Shall we talk about tones and the never ending confusion they can cause :persevere:

    I reckon he is a very good manager, if he ever turned up at The Valley in charge of us, then I wouldn't complain.


    He is a bit of a psycho though. Who was that player he grabbed around? And he had a go at a supporter.

    I remember the interview on match of the day when they asked him about it and he said calmly stated. " I can take care of myself there is no doubt about that don't you worry" or words to those effect. I thought PSYCHO

    The appointment of another foreign manager by far eastern owners who appear not to have a clue about the merits of young English managers .. how is all this money in Thailand being earned ?

    A wider than average gap exists between the financially fortunate and the rest in Thailand, which like India, produces some mega monied elite.

    He owns King Power which is all the duty free shops at airports in Thailand. So all his money is made of tourists buying booze and fags. If you have seen how much the Russians and Chinese buy at the duty free in Bangkok airport, surprised he is not richer.

    If you look back through the thread, I think pretty much everyone agrees.

    Was just thinking that. Already had a full season in charge, that must make him one of Spurs' longest serving managers. Levy's trigger finger must be twitching like mad by now.

    The following managers have all, at times, demonstrated moments of madness (some more than others):

    Clough
    Fergie
    Mourinho
    Van Gaal
    Wenger
    Simeone

    This Luzon guy apparently passed our madness test with flying colours.

    I would but Watford will probably have been through four managers before anyone else gets sacked.

    Sherwood will be fine at Villa I reckon... Cant see him being sacked there - Bilic @ West Ham will be in most trouble, because it'll be their first season at the Olympic Stadium next year I can see Gold / Sullivan getting extremely nervous if they even look like getting into a relegation battle, is almost like how Murray panicked by spending millions to try and ensure Premier League survival because of the new TV deal at the time.

    Martinez (Everton) / Pochettino (Spurs) / McClaren (Newcastle) / Advocaat (Sunderland) are the others in danger I reckon

    Get rid of Allardyce, go down playing "the West Ham way", open the doors to the Olympic Stadium in the Championship. I can feel it in my bones

    Sometimes you have to chuckle at how wrong you got at situation. Ranieri and Leicester went on to win the PL of course.

    Pearson is now doing an excellent job at Watford who had taken just 9/51 points from the first 17 games and 13/15 from just 5 games since he took over.

    The Watford slump which started towards the end of last season was always baffling anyway

    Getting Deeney back would make a big difference, whoever was the manager, as he's such a talisman for the club
