Pearson managed my first love CUFC (Villa are my glory team :o) He kept us in the league telling Jimmy Glass to go up for a corner for which Ill be grateful for forever.I now work with a couple of lads that played in that team and they have nothing but praise for Pearson, a proper honest bloke they say, tells you to your face what hes gonna do and what he wants you to do, and if you dont do it you know about it.

Just going by his stats, Pearson doesn't have an awful record.

Nigel Pearson is just an unpleasant bully.
Don't particularly like him for those reasons but this Leicester team is essentially his team.

By the way where is Other coaching now or is he a free agent so no compensation?

After O'Leary and O'Neill, we should know better than to appoint O'Ther.

The only saving grace of Pearson is that his Leicester side put in one of the best displays against us all season at their place last season, and could have been 6 up by half time. We have to get his backroom team though. Even as far back as Little, it started to go wrong when Gregory left. Lambert lost his coaches at Villa and never recovered.

I don't get this argument.

If Ranieri is able to get this team to win the league, how shit must Pearson be to have almost got it relegated?

Give it to Howe. 10m ringfenced spending plus whatever he can raise from sales. TOTAL control of transfers and the chance to manage a fallen giant and make it great again. I'm sure Brian Little could sell that to him

Yes, we should definitely get one and one that know his arse from his elbow.

Eddie Howe would be my choice if we were still going to be in the Premier. 

Doubt we'd get him now, we'd probably ruin him anyway.

The Evening Mail has a responsibility to report accurately.  We all know that they read these pages.  WE DO NOT WANT NIGEL PEARSON AS THE NEXT VILLA MANAGER.  That is all. Plenty of good Manager's out of work this summer without resorting to the likes of Pearson.

Hodgson's contract with England ends after the Euros doesn't it? Worked with one of our new board members at the FA.

Think we could given the will by Lerner. It's the difference between all the yesmen we've had thankful for the job and willing to go along with the board's batshit ideas and a manager who doesn't actually need us, but could be tempted by running a monster of a football club. Just like SGT was tempted.
