Somebody has reliably informed me Pearson in the next 24hrs...take that with as much salt as you want.

cant see it

he said a few weeks ago that he wasnt making any decisions until the end of the season

plus what about the takeover *coughs*

you mean the take over that's about as likely as proving the Loch Ness monster exists?

So you reckon that we will never get taken over again?

Nessie has been spotted in the cut by Spaghetti Junction several times - but no buyers yet.

Ha! I fully expect this to drag on -I don't think we've reached rock bottom yet, why pay even £75m when you might get the club for less?

That's so disappointing if we do appoint him. Big gamble again by the club.  How many times are this board going to make the same mistake. I just can't see what he has done in the game to get to manage us. Nine games with Leicester  last season....?

He did get them promoted before that, which is kind of what we're looking for.

Hiring another manager without his preferred back room line up. What could possibly go wrong?

Moyes drifting out to 14-1 was not what I wanted to see. Pearson is 4/7 on, we do often seem to go for the 'obvious' choice if it is him, as Sherwood was also favourite when we appointed him. If he comes, he needs money and some good coaches.

I hope we get him in. One of the recurring themes I've seen from Leicester fans singing his praises, is the root and branch change he appears to have affected at every level of their club. The quicker we get him in, hopefully the quicker things can change for the better.

If it's Pearson, then fair enough. But I am concerned that he won't have his usual coaching team with him and may be bringing in, arguably, a failure in Chris Powell along instead. However, there is enough time for him to look out other coaches and build his own team. We do need to get on with it so we can start identifying players, in and out though.

Well many Leicester fans have been praising the work Pearson did in setting the football side of the club up, sports science, scouting etc etc.If that is the case we must give him the same freedom here.

I can understand the cynical, given the record of those who previously ran the club.

I also understand that everything and everyone connected with the club is an absolute failure & that some things should be obvious to everyone (TSM & Tactics Tim).

But how about we give those who run the club now the chance to get it wrong before we condem them.
