When I believed that the board would not be so stupid as to stitch up Remi Garde in the transfer window, I expected him to stay for next season and we would come back immediately. Those bets are off. If Remi stays he will only do so if they honour the commitments made to him about money available. The January debacle now makes me suspect nowhere near adequate money will be provided and Remi will walk. Enter somebody like Pearson and the best we can hope for will be a play off place next year
It's the prospect of a skuzz bucket like Pearson turning up that would be the final humiliation for me.
As shit as McLeish, Lambert and Sherwood have been, at least they appeared to be fundamentally decent human beings. A bit too full of bullshit in Lambert's case and generally full of himself in Sherwood's, but decent.
Pearson would be scrapping the bottom of a barrel that's in the basement beneath the barrel we fished O'Leary out of.
We'd probably go for Billy Davis anyway.
