AJ Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 My Gran would do it for free. She is always looking for an excuse to get out of the house. Her conditions are everyone is to wipe their boots before entering the change rooms, when she brings in her famous pumpkin scones, everyone is to share, and no more than 2 per person ( looking at you, Gabby). No bad language, Grealish to change his shirt name to Tweety, and two of the bigger lads to help her up and down the stairs. She is keen, and her severance pay would just be a plane ticket home. If it doesn't work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Pearson's interviews then watch Ron Saunders interviews, Alex Ferguson interviews, Jose Murinho etc. Speaking of bizarre, this point is bizarre. Pearson isn't some kind of enigmatic managerial genius, he's just a word removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 in terms of interview style which apparently is a big thing now for managers now the closest person to Pearson is probably Clough in that he thinks about the answer and not afraid to belittle the journalist for stupid questions though Clough was on another level to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It does not matter who we get as our next manager if he has to carry on the Lerner tradition of "getting rid of the high earners" then we are back where we were 4/5 years ago.I dont know anything about baseball,basketball or ice hockey but I would say that if you get rid of your high earners in any of those sports then you are getting rid of your best players. In fact, that is exactly why we are where we are today.We got rid of the high earners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 All I know about Pearson is the club should hire whoever his PR guy is because his reputation far exceeds his achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I don't know why we're pretending that how Clough managed in the 70s would be relevant or acceptable in 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 well hopefully he has same attitude if Pearson is appointed. though I dont remember him giving Eck a chance either but many others didnt either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
