Manager for next season

[Steve67]

How would we feel if Eric Black was in charge until the summer, when there would be more choice and less compo to pay for anyone who's been sacked?

I hope you're not thinking Pulis Dave?  Sometimes, Managers who get sacked have a can't work, cooling off period. Hopefully, this wouldn't make much difference if they were to drop to the Championship.

Not even in jest.

You wanting Moyes Dave? Who would your alternative be?

Plus if it is Pearson you might as well get him in and let him start killing them now. Why wait.

sure i read somewhere that pearson said he was interested in the job but not until the end of the season

tbh i cant see anything happening until after the arsenal game

Still think it will be Pearson

I've been reading up on Pearson on a Leicester forum and it's certainly opened my eyes to what the man achieved there. Overall it was rare to hear anybody have a bad word to say about him, they pretty much loved him and his record more than stands up for itself. The press do seem to have it in for him and his natural disdain for them made it a pretty predictable outcome. I do wonder how he copes with stress, he takes all the pressure of his players and carries it himself but as the headlines have shown, he looks like he loses it.

Football wise, he actually seems to really know what he's doing. Uses his bench to great effect, great in the transfer window and gets all his players to give 100%. They all seemed to love him too. He may make mistakes but he's a fast learner and those mistakes are never repeated. He'd certainly get us organised from top to bottom, even this squad, as he inherited a similar group of wasters when he took over at Leicester. My only doubt and one raised on the forum was just how well he can cope with the pressure of the Premier League. Right now that's the least of our problems.

Moyes may be a 'name' in football circles but I have serious doubts his ability matches his reputation. Much like MON. More concerning is whether or not he could get us up next season. Given the choice between the two - and I can't believe I'm writing this, I'd feel a lot more confident with Pearson in charge. I actually think he would surprise a lot of people and actually get the job done.

There, I've said it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Although tbh, I'm agnostic about how good a job he might do. I'm more concerned about the club associating itself with someone who brags about throttling opposing players.

We could do with a manager who throttles some of our own players

Interesting. The fact that the press or some of the worse elements of the press have the knives out for him doesn't bother me. They have them out for us anyway so it makes no difference.

I just don't want another internal disaster like Keane & whoever the other Lambert assistants were.

I more agnostic about his throttling to be honest, if he's capable of sorting us out and delivering a winning team I'll let it slide.

We're due a bit of positive agro, we've played the nice guys long enough, it's someone else's go now.

The same 'press' that rate Sherwood so highly.

[walsall villain]

Who would we finish highest under next year? Probably Pearson but I do fear it could bring further embarrassment based on his previous meltdowns. When I left Wembley after our glorious semi final win last year I could never have imagined what was to come, I thought we were on the up!

I also wonder how things might have been different if we'd won the Cup? Not that I really expected us too, but still it might have kept a spring in our step going into this season.  But trully this has been coming for awhile now.  Was never sold on Sherwood long term, and when he was sandled with mostly useless players things got even worse.

There's a differene between not being too nice and being a totally unhinged maniac. Is Pearson really literally the only one out there who could make us better? Do we have to hire him? It makes me a little nauseated, to be honest.

[mr underhill]

of course he isn't the only nutjob out there - and I'm confident we won't be hiring him.

[pauliewalnuts]

Pearson turned round to his own fans during a match and shouted at them to "fuck off and die".

He's a fucking walking disaster, and the absolute last sort of appointment we need now. I get that softly softly nice guy hasn't worked in its Garde incarnation, but we tried that nasty fucker thing with Roy Keane, too, and that - watching him and Lambert looking like a couple of tramps sat in pools of piss and shit on our bench - was unwatchable shite too.

[gpbarr]

I like your confidence, but christ knows where its coming from given the absolute failure to get just one decision right over the last 5 years

[ChicagoLion]

The point that we are a soft touch is valid and infuriates me. We never dispute refs decisions we never comment on them after the game. We just let every indescrepencie go. We allow opposition players to kick us when they feel like it and no one stands up for thier teammate.
There is absoloutely no fight in this set up.
If it is going to take a Pearson to sort it out so be it.

They don't give one tenth of one single shit, the bunch of ******. It's so fucking obvious to watch, that is what I hate about this season, not being inept, it's the 'couldn't give a fuck and not afraid to show it' attitude of most of the team.
