IF it's Pearson, who I take it you don't want, it doesn't follow that it will then be shit does it ? You may not like him but it isn't like wed be appointing my missus. And IF it's Pearson why assume it will also be Black ? And if it is why assume that will be shit too ?

We are now a championship club so do you think Mourinho or Blanc are going to come riding out of the sunset. Get real !!!!.

I prefer this football to boring, dull, possession based football and knock off, tiki taka, Barcelona wannbe shite that you see a lot of these days. any time I watch Leicester they always try bring the ball forward rarely negative pass back to defence, they really are far from defensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Pearson is not my choice but he will get my support. Job isn't easy so providing he gets the initial part right (getting rid of the toxic players rather than incorporating them) he will continue to get my support. I do not want the likes of Lescott, Richards and Gabby in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world Pearson wouldn't be me my first choice but we are where we are and we need a certain type. Pearson fits that bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Have already made a similar comment in the Black thread, but if we cannot get a new manager to start next week, I would sack Black now and have Brian Little run the team until the end of the season! I know the same players would no doubt put in the same performances but at least the fans would be fully supportive of Little. The atmosphere alone for the Newcastle game would improve. The longer he stays, Black is seriously causing more damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Looks like its going to be pearson then. Not my preferred choice at all but ill back him 100%. Got to give him credit if he takesthe job as im sure he has had many offers that are not as shambolic as this one. Just hope to god black isnt kept on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 This is an attractive opportunity as someone has the chance to create a club in their own image . We are that desperately shambolic it allows that opportunity. Just on the playing side alone we need everything! We need players in every area of the pitch and we need a defined style of football. We have neither. Off the pitch the is literally no supporting structure to the first team or football side at all. We are a football club in name only as we do not have anyone in a position of responsibility or authority who has the slightest clue about football. The new man starts with a blank canvas , not having to spend ages changing something there is there as there is literally nothing there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Obviously Pearson is the cheap option compared with Moyes. Good choice, this penny pinching lark has seen us come good before... FWIW Pearson is raging moron. A bullying buffoon who. Oh, and he isn't a very good manager. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 People have to get a bit real to the changing circumstances here. Pearson has proven Championship pedigree and has achieved promotion before. He knows the league. Even if he is a moron. Moyes is the dream but he just isn't what we need right now. He'd be out of his depth in the Championship. My ideal manager would be spadeface but I doubt we can afford his compensation. He's done this time and time again and could do it with us. It may hurt to read, but names like Bruce, Pearson and Warnock (god forbid) are exactly the sort of people we need to be looking at. Even if Mourinho wanted to manage us I'm not sure he'd be the right option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I worry about Pearson's volatility and lack of self-control. We need someone disciplined but also calm and steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, it's also worth bearing in mind that Leicester were absolute dogshit and almost as bad as we have been for most of that season. Obviously Ranieri has carried on from that but there's no guarantee Pearson would've done the same. Edited May 1, 2016 by Mantis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not however getting the rub of the green and results, but we're playing well! They were nothing like us this season totally wrong in your comparison again!

They had a similar points tally to us up until about March I think. They weren't playing as bad but they were still awful and one could argue that again up until a certain point this season (probably Liverpool at home) we have been playing better than our points suggest and not getting the rub of the green either.

I just don't get any of these sound bites that people keep reeling off because they think Pearson would be a good choice, it just sounds like fluff (not specifically attacking you Spoony, yours was just the most recent posts) 'knows the league'- what does he know about the league, that its 42 games long instead of 38? I think it's born from the myth that football in the Championship is drastically different from anywhere else. If we're looking for extensive knowledge of the players in that league, well that's why managers having coaching staff and scouts. For what it's worth, Moyes has also managed in the championship and his work there for him the Everton job, so I don't understand why he would be out of his depth?

If there is a takeover though and the new owners want to make a real push for promotion I can't for the life of me understand why they'd want Pearson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
