But - and I stand to be corrected - a lot of people were ambivalent with Xia's choice because there were more obvious options this summer.Like?There were other names mooted, such as Pearson and Moyes. I'm not saying I'd have preferred them necessarily, but I was certainly surprised when Di Matteo's name popped up.Considering what a shit job both of those examples are doing, it's not really much of an argument that the wrong person was chosen in the summer.Indeed. The only thing that would make this current run worse, would be erm, having a worse run, and having Pearson as boss. Damn, that's two things.

Nigel Pearson. Guaranteed, nailed-on route to promotion apparently.
I'd give him the season personally, unless of course we do start to struggle. Sacking a manager 7 games in after giving him all that money would be embarrassing.
We can look forward to Mick Mccarthy out foxing the thick fucking balloon.

Stick with Di Matteo please. Changing manager every ten minutes doesn't seem to have helped Leeds.
