Maybe Pearson's style is along the lines of Mourinho, whereby he runs everything at breaking point.  It's a good short term solution but not sustainable in the long term.  That's probably the biggest complement that I can give Pearson to be honest and, I suppose, his brash style might turn the club around before we reach breaking point, at which point a new manager takes over..
sounds like a plan to me.

Would Hughton want to leave New Mexico to Birmingham though with his chicken and pharmaceutical interests there?

Paddy was scouting the Trent. It has more fluidity than any player we currently have.

Unless the reference is to Brighton and it's substance issues and something to do with a chicken company buying the pier, it's the strangest post I have seen in a good while



Can't say I see it myself.

Last time I saw that fella he was a bad guy on revolution. Which was also bad.

Current betting odds from Ladbrokes, FYI.
 Surely ( Pearson & Moyes, maybe Dyche,  apart , imho ) there are better candidates out there , maybe, hopefully,  we are looking “outside the box “, as M-Boro did with Karanka . Monk, Coleman et al hardly fill me with optimism, and even a modicum of optimism would be welcome in  these here parts right now.....................Godzvilla!

Nigel Pearson6/4
Mick McCarthy7/2
Steve Bruce4/1
David Moyes9/2
Simon Grayson10/1
Chris Coleman16/1
Garry Monk25/1
Sean Dyche25/1
Chris Hughton25/1
Gareth Southgate25/1

it's what I'd expect to be honest. I'd love  the chosen one to be named but he isn't going to be.

They'll surely just be reacting to the bets being placed, and general speculation.

That's very flattering thanks but I'm a bit busy right now.  ;D

Miniscule market, not much punted, doesn't take huge amounts for the prices to move around. They were really volatile last time we were looking for a manager, too.

Yep. In the week Garde was appointed, I worked out that I could have stuck £20 on me being next manager and I'd have gone straight into the top ten favourites.

Having a media heavyweight like Bevington on board to 'guide' him through his media duties may save him from himself. Pearson's career can now go one of two ways, forever avoided by the big clubs due to his media profile or he gets the support of the club and he calms down. I'm sure he knows it himself.
