Manager for next season

Wouldn't the top three already be in the thread with the poll on?

The problem with manager selection is that there are so many variables in the mix.  I agree, of course, with Dante that we had the methodical team builder in Garde but did not have the courage to back him.  Garde was expected to fight a rearguard action with tired and cowardly troops.  Pearson would have been the man for a fight but we went long term.  Now we need team building and forward planning if we get Pearson who is the managerial equivalent of an impact substitution we will have once again made a bad decision.

Just like Garde, Pearson would be the right man at the wrong time.  Eighteen months ago we faced two separate problems, avoiding relegation and dismantling the shambles to rebuild a team not forever swirling around the plughole.  We needed a Pearson followed by a Garde and it looks like we are getting it the wrong way round.

Dyche
Rodgers

Realistically

Pearson

Yes. Yet another pointless thread.

Just a thought that's occurred to me.  If Sir Brian is involved in selection of next manager - maybe being Pearson, would he still have contacts at Leicester that he could sound out and get a proper opinion from?

He's more the right man more now than when Garde was appointed when he was also the right man. I'm not a fan of Pearson but I think he'd get far more out of that squad by using his one and only motivational technique.  I don't think we would have seen  Lescott tweeting pictures of his new car or Gabby and Richards heading for Dubai in our predicament with Pearson as the boss.

The question is whether we're going to be serious about cleaning up the squad in the summer. If we're not then I concede Pearson may be one of the few managers who can get performances out of the useless wankers. But I would hope we'll be talking about a mostly new team who might not need or respond well to his door slamming antics.

After the last few years of incompetent club management and successive appointments of team manager that have failed miserably, I doubt very much that the new board will consider any candidate they they consider has any flaw in their character. It will be up to the board to decide whether Pearson's reputation is deserved and  up to Pearson to convince them otherwise if they interview him.
I have no doubt that he is a talented manager but I suspect that they will adopt a no-risk policy and he will be ruled out.

If the board are going to rule out any manager with a personality "issue" then we'll be managerless forever. All managers are basket cases, every one of them. You'd have to mental to want a job where your career is entirely in the hands of 11 over paid, pampered immature kids. Show me a sane manager and I'll show you a shit manager.

For gods sake lets get Moyes in, do whatever it takes to get him. Pearson would be us reaching the very bottom of a rotten barrel.

great contestants though

Cheers.

My point was finding out individual choices. The voting is hidden on the other thread, if I'm not mistaken.

Doubtful. He left Leicester 22 years ago, under a massive cloud. They are a completely different club these days.

I want Gary Neville, not sure why, but I think he would do well with us in the Championship and bring us back up.

I take it you haven't seen the video of Pearson's son and the other Leicester players in Thailand?

I don't know much, but I'd rather have Aaron Neville
