Manager for next season

It's going to be Pearson isn't it minus his staff.

Is that the staff he fights off wild dogs with..?

I think as a villa fan we all know that we are going for Moyes but deep down know that is to much of a sensible and good move by the club so it will be that fucking cock Pearson without the only things that made him any good.

In 1974 it was built up that Brian cough was the only option for us

Turns out it was just a minor hiccup.

Ron Saunders wasn't to be sneezed at.

I'd love Bernstein to call a press conference to announce the new manager, opening with the line, "Gentlemen, I can not believe so many of you fell for my line about an English manager. I know many are your friends with them but they're all, with the possible exception of one, shit. So with that in mind, let me introduce you to the new manager of Aston Villa, Marcelo Bielsa".

Yep, it will be Pearson.

Yes

I thought I just heard on WM that it will be Pearson as soon as relegation is confirmed but I might be wrong.

Fuck! I hope there's something up with your hearing (no offence or ill intended).

So we assemble a well staffed, highly regarded brains trust and all they come up with is 'must be English and have experience of both Premier League and Championship'. Genius. Now there's a strategy that has served us so well in the past.

The cheap and less than cheerful option yet again, if it's Pearson. Er, mind you, Moyes is free at the moment too. Moyes please. NOT PEARSON.

[Billy Walker]

I'm warming to the idea of Pearson and I think the reason for this change of heart on my part is that I feel he will have some kind of hunger in him to prove Leicester's success is down to him.  Looking at all the runners and riders I think he has the right mix of recent successful Championship experience combined with burning motivation to succeed. 

[Steve67]

I think Pearson will be more desperate to land the job and will accept any old transfer budget whereas Moyes will be more demanding I reckon. Holding the board to account is a bare minimum.

I do wonder how much they're influenced by their time serving the FA. I even recall some time back Brian Little coming out with the same line about English managers. Oh for a Brian Little now, somebody that had earned his stripes but with the exception of Eddie Howe, I don't see a single English manager that you think, now that's a man that has great potential. Not one.
