Manager for next season

[Dave]

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.

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.

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.

Any manager is a gamble. But there is little point taking a gamble on a demonstrably shit manager and a horrendous person to boot.

I for one who have no problem if Pearson is deemed a bully and he deals with the likes of Gabby, Richards, Lescott etc etc

Do we wish to appoint Mr Nice Guy and continue exactly how we are?

Sorry but we need someone nasty to deal with all the crap that we currently have

[Gregorys Boy]

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.

But the 'total psycho' is your label for him.  A lot of really good managers have temper issues.  There are some of us think that his fire could be a good thing in giving some our usless players a kick up the back side they need.  Sometimes needs much.  Not saying a manager's character character doesn't matter, but its not like the guy killed someone right?

I was always under the impression Pearson was very protective of his players hence his attitude towards the press

You can not fuck about with players and be a tough guy in the dressing room without pulling all the other shit Pearson has done.

[Monty]

To be honest, I think Pearson's a bit of a drama queen.

But tell me how he's a bad manager?  His record at other clubs doesen't back that up for me.

[Chris Jameson]

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.

Anybody with a different opinion to you is a 'drama queen'?

If he's such a wonderful manager why didn't Leicester start playing until the last couple of months and why were the Leicester board so happy to get rid of him? Hardly held them back getting rid. Of course as others have pointed out he's a massive wanker.

[clash city rocker]

We don't need a nasty basted to deal with some of the players. The board can do that although it will cost money. We need a manager who can bring the best out of players.

No, we wish to appoint a decent football manager who wins us football matches. If he's nice, that's fine. If he makes the players lives hell, that's fine.

Where I have the issue is if we appoint a horrible person just because he's a horrible person. That's not why we employ a manager.

No he just told his own fans to "fuck off and die", insulted reporters, tried to strangle an opposition player, acted like a mentalist in press conferences, stories of him bullying non playing staff. Even as shit as we are, those aren't the actions of someone I want employed by Villa.

[ozzjim]

It was Walsh that found Vardy, Kante and Mahrez apparently.  He seems to be the brains of it from that respect.  Unless he comes with his team, there is no point at all.

[Toronto Villa]

So if Brian Little, Bernstein, King, Hollis and whoever they appoint to the Football Director (whatever it will be called) decide to appoint Pearson, how will everyone view the new football board?

[PeterWithesShin]

I'll be against it and think it is a shit decision.

[dave shelley]

This sudden transformation of Leicester City at the back-end of last season that saw the run-in to safety.  Can someone better informed than me explain the changes that made it come about?  What did Leicester do that they hadn't been doing to date? We're there changes in personnel? Were there formation changes? Were there tactical revisions?  I don't know which is why I'm asking.   Were any or all of these changes specifically down to Pearson or had he run out of ideas and took advice from his assistants as a last resort.

If he'd been stubborn enough to persist with his own methods for 29 games before listening to other advice, what makes anyone think he wouldn't do the same with us?  Don't you all think that we've had enough of this shit?  It's something I cannot become immune to.  This is before his arrogant attitude to supporters and media alike come in to question which, is another debate altogether.  I'm trying to be objective here and not let my dislike of him cloud my judgement.
