With our current dressing room, a divisive figure such as Pearson is exactly what we don't need, imo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Pearson's better than Sherwood but I really don't want another PASHUN manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, although hopefully next season's dressing room will look different to this season's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going hand in hand maybe but the more I watch this game the more I think it's about the players. Why do Celtic always win their league despite having an astonishing list of ropey managers? Why are we always shit no matter who our manager is? Why are Barcelona so damn good regardless of who manages them? Is Luis Enquire as good as Pep? He's achieving similar. Brodgers almost won the league because of Suarez. There are exceptions to the rule, Simone, Fergie and Mourinho have done well with players lesser than their opponents in their careers. So I've concluded if we get the best or near the best players in the league we just need a competent manager who isn't a clown/PR disaster. If we have a sub-par set of players we need a slightly more special very rare type of manager. The aforementioned three managers all have the same thing in common in the sense they are disciplinarians, this rules Remi out straight away.

We had a meatheaded showy manager, them we flip to the more stoic manager, then the clamour is for the meathead again. Couple that to Leicester being successful this season (ignoring that they were shit for the vast majority of last season and he spent most of the season barely clinging to anything close to behaviour befitting a grown man let alone a public figure) and bingo, Pearson is the obvious choice. Awful man. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet he's more of a disciplinarian than O'Neill, McLeish, Lambert and even St Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our current dressing room, a divisive figure such as Pearson is exactly what we don't need, imo. This is not necessarily in support of Pearson, but this makes no sense to me. He put the foundation of that team together, and started their revival. When they were losing with him in the Prem, they were actually playing quite well, and with fight on most occasions. I like Ranieri alot too, however it was blatantly obvious they already had a good spine and mentality, which would only get better as they meshed. Leicester, as well as 19 other teams in the Prem have just made better decisions than us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2016 Their best decision being getting rid of that headcase and replacing him with a competent manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Personally I think I would feel more secure/confident if we had a manager in the Championship who knows what that division is all about, knows what it takes to get out of it. It is imperative we come straight back up for me. That is obviously going to take a lot more than a change in manager but the managers position is still vital. If I was offered now Remi Garde or Steve Bruce at the start of next season I would take Steve Bruce. If I was offered Remi Garde or Sean Dyce. I’d take Sean Dyce. These managers may actually bring clubs up this season but I think we are still a big enough draw that they would leave those clubs for us. As long as we ensure we sort the issues above the manager out. I am not saying these guys are better managers than Garde by the way although clearly there are big question marks about Garde. I think Garde compared to the managers mentioned above is a gamble. I don’t think, in the Championship at least, the managers mentioned are gambles.

AndyGray1985 Posted March 15, 2016 Visiting Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think it's about the time perspective. If allowed time (and a little sum of money) Moyes or Garde could be good choices. If it's about pulling out all stops to get straight back to the PL I think you'd need another type of manager. To me the latter is more risky overall, but probably what will happen. If it doesn't succeed, season 2 (and onwards...) in the Championship could see the concrete starting to solidify around our ankles, as only massive investment or good luck with young talent could rectify or stop the decline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2016 Those advocating Rowett do you seriously think that choosing Small Heaths manager is the best option? Just how much time will he be given when things start to go wrong? Hes a good manager, and Villa man to boot, but unfortunately there will always be an element of our fans who just wont let the cross city thing go. The man would be handicapped from the start. We need a bit of unity at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a bit of unity at the moment! Disagree - if we're poaching a good manager from them that'd be great for the fans. No different than buying a good player from them - of course they'll get a chance. The McLeish thing was very different - the problem wasn't that he was coming from them, it was that he was a shit manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2016 I agree with that. Poaching SHA's manager and him doing well would be **** brilliant. The problem with mcLeish was never really because he was from SHA. It was because he **** awful AND from SHA. To this day that remains the most bat shit crazy thing this club has ever done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
