As it stands we have more chance of being relegated next season than winning the League !

Pearson would shake things up massively - he'd soon root out the shirkers and wasters. The Leicester team currently at the top is mainly his team. He got Leicester promoted from the Championship.

After the little bit of euphoria over the appointment of a footballing pro-active board, I'm so disappointed at the thought that they are even considering the likes of Pearson.  If they do, they can do one too.

Did I hear right that they insist on British? If so sounds like similar approach before in must have Premiership experience etc..

Ruling candidates out based on prejudice

Bernstein actually said English with Championship and Premiership experience. Thought for a while it's inevitable we're going to end up with Pearson, hope I'm wrong.

I really hope Bernstein and Bevington are going to look for the best possible manager rather than support the FA agenda of employing more English managers. Right now it's a tough one and anybody watching us today will understandably have second thoughts. Is there anybody currently employed that could be on the list or are we only looking at those immediately available?

Lets face it whoever they appoint will not find favour with everyone. Should it be Nigel Pearson and we start winning a few nobody will be complaining. He can spot talent as Jamie Vardy has confirmed. He was also responsible for getting Harry Kane in on loan and made a player out of Marc Albrighton. Having said that he is unlikely to get his backroom staff away from Leicester which could be a huge problem. David Moyes could persuade Garry Neville to come with him and they could both repair their damaged reputations at B6.

I don't see anyone else in the picture.

Money will talk as usual.

I'm with you only some of the drama queens on this forum could make pearson out to be a bad manager.  He certainly isn't a bad manager in Championship terms, and he kept the Foxes up with ease last season when at one stage they looked beried at one point.  Good manager for me, and we could do much worse.

And what do you base your statement on? We are a disgrace currently and when watching then week in week out you know that team will not survive in the championship

Yet he's so shit that he managed to have 'mainly his team' at the bottom of the league for the majority of the season.

I don't believe for one second that this side, as abject it has been, has more chance of being relegated again than promoted. Because it rarely happens to any relegated side is another reason. And also the fact that it won't be this side that will start next season. There will be lots of changes including a new manager coupled with much weaker competition.

Yet it was also that same side that he managed to change, somehow, some way to having a stunning end of season run to finish comfortably away from the relegation zone. As much as he was a part of the poor start to the season he should be commended for his part in how it ended.

But that makes his achivement even greater.  It doesn't matter where they were, only where they finished.  And I think he deserves his fair shar e of credit for their likely title win this season.  I conceed he would be a gamble but one worth taking for me.

But finished comfortably above us by the end of the season. They were adjusting to a new league, had a lot of bad luck in some games and were marginally losing some games, then something clicked and the rest is history.

I really can't see how he can get no credit for a)promoting them and b) keeping them in the league.

Most of the "drama queens" on here have a problem with the fact he's a total wanker rather than if he may be a decent manager.

He's a manager with an okay record with a team around him that he won't get in should he come to us, and he's a total psycho who would embarrass the club even further.
