Nigel Pearson is just an unpleasant bully.

Yes he regularly took Albrighton to see the blue goldfish...

Regardless of who the manager is next season they should insist on player funds in writing before accepting.

That goes for Remi himself if he wants to continue.

You demonstrably cannot trust this board's word, I hope every manager candidate out there now realises this and insists on a level of funding in his contract.

As a manager, Pearson wouldn't be the worst choice, it's just that as a man I find it impossible to warm to him. Not sure if that really matters though.

I actually voted for Monk in the poll as I'm sure there's the potential to be a very good manager there, just not certain if he's what we need in the Championship. Maybe in a few years time. I'm more sure about him than I am about Garde though. He's shown nothing in his time here. Results and performances have barely improved under him at all. We may as well have stuck with Sherwood.

Nigel Pearson is just an unpleasant bully.
Don't particularly like him for those reasons but this Leicester team is essentially his team.
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?
That's another way to look at it but the team is displaying the same form that it did in the final 9 games last season.

Leicester weren't as horrendous as us before then either. They'd had some degree of misfortune in some games to be fair to them and not played terribly. Then 2-3 players hit form and they had the winning run. We've been utter pig shit all season and there's no chance we'll go on any sort of run like they did.
Pearson isn't great by any stretch but he's better than what we currently have and is one of the better options who will be available to us.

A futile debate I think.

Unless we get rid of the useless, half arsed, self serving dildos who masquerade as professional footballers who is manager is immaterial.

By my reckoning we have 4 definitely worth keeping + 2 punts in the league below

Bye bye

Guzan
Bunn
Hutton
Bacuna
Richards
Richardson
Gabby
Lescott
Westwood
Clark
Baker

need to be binned. Probably missed one or two

For me:

Keep (but not especially bothered either way): Okore, Clark, Amavi, Traore, Veretout, Grealish, Steer, Gardner, Robinson

Bin: Guzan, Bunn, Richards, Bacuna, Gueye, Ayew, Sinclair, Gabby, Westwood, Richardson, Hutton, Sanchez, Gil, Kozak, N'Zogbia, Gestede, Cissokho, Baker, Bennett, Crespo

I find myself asking the question if the turnaround in Leicesters fortunes last year was because of Pearson or in spite of him. I rather think the latter.

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.

My son pissed himself laughing when I suggested Howe back in Jan. I told him, because as a 20 year old, he doesnt realise that AVFC are a massive club and what an opportunity for a young up and coming manager. He will always be managing a small club at Bournemouth. Big problem is Lerner and convincing any decent manager that you can work within our fiscal contraints

I'd try for Rodgers, then Moyes and then perhaps Monk or Bruce. If pulis leaves the Albion, God forgive me, I'd have him in to get us back up and stabilise the club for a season or two.

Lets be truthful. Yes we are in the shite. But if we put an advert in the paper tomorrow advertising the first team managers job at ASTON VILLA FC.

Moyes and Rodgers wouldn't apply?

Seriously?
