If ever there were an article to demonstrate why our club should not touch the man.

Moyes punched one of his Preston players once. Didn't he also have an assault charge hanging over him when he was at Manchester United? I might have dreamt that last one

It better not be Pearson. He wasn't really tolerable as a package which brought 2 well-respected assistants, on his own then you can kiss goodbye to a lot of ST holders renewing.

I hope the board take this into account. I would have a season ticket no matter what division we're in, but I couldn't bring myself to go and get behind a team managed by Pearson, and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that. It would be such a desperate, classless move by the club. It's just so....Leeds. We're supposed to be better than that.

Moyes did indeed from an altercation in a restaurant I believe but was cleared without further action or something.

More of this to look forward to if it is Pearson.

That image of him throttling MacArthur on the ground is just awful.

No, you didn't dream it, he was charged for assault in a wine bar. It was followed by endless puns about Moyes finally learns how to attack.

Anyone got Brian Little's email address. Maybe Pat Murphy can have a word.

In the line of work my son met Gianluca Vialli in Cannes this morning. He asked him if he was interested in the Villa job.  "Too late" was the reply with heavy implication that the deal is already done.

I assume you are busy emptying your piggy bank down at the bookies, before you tell us the answer to his next question.

Maybe it was Vialli that had a new job.

This appears to be the counter argument piece from the Daily Heil. Strange that it comes out on the same day eh?

Who is this?? What happened?

[PeterWithe]

If we want our players beaten up, I'm sure there is a cheaper way of doing it than employing Pearson on a multi-million pound contract.

I think we discount people like Allardyce. the club have put together a 'Football board' in order to pool their collective football knowledge. If that resulted in a Manager like Allardyce being appointed, i think even Randy might start questioning whether that board was fit for purpose!

Discount people who have been there and done it, in terms of promotion and keeping teams up with ease? I'd rather that than try a fancy appointment, we just tried that with Garde and look where that got us.

'Fancy'. Interesting.

Delicious too.

I think you're probably right but it could easily have been a "too late" because we're going down.

I don't want him near the job.
