However, unfortunately Chinese businesses operate in a completely different way to those within Europe and the West. It is not nearly beyond the realms of possibility that if they wanted to hide something, or make it as though something is there which isn't they could do exactly that. I was only talking to somebody this evening who has been dealing with KPMG themselves in the last few years, and they have been wrong several times. Millions of £ wrong. All professional services firms will get things wrong occasionally, but they also get a lot of things right. I've worked in the industry for many years; it's heavily regulated and mistakes can cause huge reputational damage. Given his credentials I remain optimistic that Steve Hollie has done the right due diligence here. I too can't imagine how a prospective manager have found out anything that Hollis would not already have been aware of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This selection process is in danger of running out of candidates and leaving us looking a bit incompetent. RDM seems the safe candidate but is he the best?

dn1982 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Surely we are doing the correct thing. Hollis by the sounds of things met Pearson and liked him so made him his choice. This shows Pearson was interested when we looked skint. Now we have a new owner and hopefully money to spend it opened the door to Moyes as he wanted funds. Nothing has been offered to anyone yet but surely it's better to speak to all parties first and then pick one. We are the biggest club Pearson will ever manage and I believe we are the biggest Moyes will be offered this summer. I've not mentioned RDM as I think he only get mentioned because he was manager when Chelsea win the CL and even though it wasn't them team he built who did it its on the CV so he'll always be linked with good jobs.

Would think so,can't think of any other meaning. Though bit concerned as the BBC did a test outside the King Power and found when the crowd celebrated the ground shook. Maybe the foundations laid out by Pearson (and son) weren't strong enough.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 2 hours ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: Really interesting read that, seems there is much more evidence in favour of Pearson than immediately springs to mind. Certainly more than I knew about off hand. Coaches or not, he ultimately takes the credit for his achievements. He deserves a shot at a "big" club no doubt. I still think he's a massive, massive prick mind you. I like that he is a prick. I think to his players he wouldn't be like that though. He shows fight and passion. We haven't had that in a while. Tim showed it when things were okay but he hid when shit hit the fan. Pearson wasn't like that. I know hes not the name like Moyes.. but I think he is a far better option than Moyes. Moyes is overrated. Di Matteo would be okay.. but I really want Pearson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) 3 hours ago, StanBalaban said: Not singling you out at all here TRO, but a few people have wondered this. However, I don't see what Moyes would have discovered when meeting with Dr. T that Hollis would not have found in weeks of investigations? I've said it many times but, whilst I don't necessarily trust Hollis to run a football club, I do trust him to do his homework in the sale process. This is Hollis' forte, plus he'll know the Chinese market from working in this region. People that tend to rise to the top in the professional auditing world tend to be sticklers for detail. Maybe they have ,but I can't speak for them. I just think it is spooky as you would think Moyes would have been sounded out that he would work in the lower division before we started talks. However the Lord moves in mysterious ways.....It may be an omen Edited May 23, 2016 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they showed fight doesn't mean they weren't poor. Yep. There seems to be this myth going round that leicester played really well all of last season and were just desperately unlucky for most of it. It's nonsense. They were shite. They lost twice to us for **** sake, and I didn't see an ounce of fight in either of those games They were excellent at the end of the season and fair play to them and Pearson for that. But let's not re-write history. They were crap for the rest of it. Edited May 23, 2016 by Stevo985 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Its getting to the stage that I don't care who it is as long as they get someone in so we can all rally round him. In all probability it is going to be Pearson. He has his faults but if he is the new boss then so be it. He would get my 110% support. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 anyway if it is Pearson I think its a good call, not many great candidates and has recent promotion experience which I felt was vital enough. More confident in him than I would with Moyes or Di matteo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
