There are definitely a few managers out there that could replace Garde (if he leaves), and give us a realistic chance of promotion. Have a feeling Alex Neil will be next manager sacked in the league so he might be available but not sure it be right move at moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he left them there's a good chance they'd be relegated..... That would be a nice turn around of events next season - we pinch their manager and he gets us promoted while they go into freefall. Would be a nice way to bring closure to the McLeish debacle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed that an unseen committee chose who was going to be signed. I think he mentioned that to his friends in the press. As far as I'm aware he made a list of players he wanted, so did the scouts, then they worked out who was affordable and likely to come. The likes of Adama and Ilori I believe he mentioned knowing about from his days at Spurs youth team. I think it was pretty much how most teams expect to do their business nowadays but Tim wanted to alleviate himself of the blame when the results went tits up, picking his teams without any of the new signings to ram home the point before he got sacked, with more than enough leaks in the press to make him look like the victim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article does not support that, in fact indicates the opposite, so I asked if you had any basis for that comment. Have you seen our current squad??

If he came in, I would hazard a guess that promotion would be just as likely as a Houllier-style squad bust-up, which is just what you need when you're chasing promotion. With the bunch of prima donnas we have in our dressing room I think a bully like Pearson is exactly what we need. I cannot imagine Garde tearing into any player I am afraid.

pacbuddies Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The players have completely given up playing for him. Not all his fault but it's also not a great sign. The problem is how does this help for our challenge next season. Will they play for him next year? Can he trust them? I can't imagine the rest of this year is going to form a strong bond between squad and manager The players never played for Sherwood either. Maybe they are all just a bunch of words removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 rumours he's wanted back at Lyon then ...Please let it be true Moyes for me .. yeah I've always criticised his brand of thug football but we are going to be in the Championship where it's needed if we want to get out had we appointed him after Tim , I suspect we'd have seen a bit more fight out of the players as well , though of course it's impossible to measure these hypertheticals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Moyes would not join a championship, especially our team, as there is a very good chance that we will have a very poor season next season and it would destroy the little reputation he has left. Rodgers is in a similar position. They are on a thin line of having their reputation destroyed and Villa are just a to big of a risk for them. The only managers we have a chance of bringing in are risks, young and untested that see us as a stepping stone. Or managers that are very desperate, for example McClaren when he gets sacked from Newcastle (I would hunt down Lerner if we appoint the god awful McClaren). My personal choice would be Rowett, as he has shown he can work in the championship, Birmingham is also a badly run club similarly to ours with a much worse playing staff, he has still managed to do okay. Also seems like a likable passionate manager. Knows the lower leagues well, so could possibly bring in a bargain or two (We won't be signing any star players this summer, would be surprised to see any foreign players join us) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'll reiterate this again - sacking Garde to bring Pearson in would be foolish, because Pearson's coaching staff are still at Leicester, and they're very much the ones behind the success they are having (along with Ranieri being a good manager, Pearson is not a good manager).
