Manager for next season

[Damo70]

Pearson for me. The ideal man to sort us out, get us back up and keep us up then see how much he can progress us from there. Rodgers would be my second choice for similar reasons but my concern is his record at clubs where there was a fair bit of work to do like Watford, Reading and to an extent Liverpool whereas at Swansea he inherited a good side.

Still dont want a British manager but if we did then Pearson/ Rodgers would be fine by me. Both are nutcases but are actually good managers. Bonus points for Pearson is he may humiliate that villa hating twat Pat Murphy again. I would be very happy to see that.

The only manager Nigel Pearson has ever humiliated with his behaviour is Nigel Pearson.

I could live with Rodgers, mind.

It wasn't who or what he was - he came from them and that was all that mattered to some of our supporters.

Yeah agreed,

But what made it worse was the directive the fella was given, ie cut the wage bill, and in doing that , getting rid of some of our decent players ,

And he did that by giving Shay Given a 5 year £55k per week contract, N'Zogbia a 5 year £60k per week contract and paying Jermaine Jenas not to play for us for a year. Didn't help himself really, did he? Or us!

Different perspectives, I loved seeing him lay into Pat Murphy

That aside I saw Pearson's Leicester in the championship. He really had them playing very well and made some very astute substitutions & adjustments during the games.

Agree with you though that if we must go British (I hope we dont) Rodgers would be my first choice. His Swansea and even Liverpool played some very pleasing stuff indeed. I would like that.

If Rodgers would take it, and we committed to his project to oversee it over a number of years, he would be ideal. But neither will.

Looks like it won't be Rafa Benitez. Could very well be on his way to Newcastle

If that happens fair play to the mags. That would be a massive coup.

With 9 to play that's a huge gamble. In the summer it's a great appointment but where they are he will have a tough free weeks ahead.

He was going to come until Randy explained that he would have to work on a very limited budget
