Manager for next season

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed.

Does that mean he is taking a job at (the newly reformed) British Steel?

Could be, as you know, despite what you may read on here, Nigel is not outspoken but he likes to speak.

I said two weeks ago this was a good move and for the majority of you to embrace it. Moyes was a pipe dream and Pearson is a great alternative

I wouldn't be too unhappy with that.

Oh for fuck's sake.

I think this appointment would be particularly divisive among the fans.

Apart from Moyes, most other choices would have been as well to be honest.

Any appointment will be until we start playing games such was the tiny pool we chose to drink from.

If, if it happens. Yet another appointment to split the fan base.

Wanted Moyes but Pearson will have my full support. His bullish attitude should shake those useless fuckers up in the dressing room. Could certainly see Gabby being the first one to be taken to task by him.  Need someone the players are scared of but can also put an arm round them when needed. McLeish, Lambert and Garde all soft as shit compared to Pearson. Might be just what we need. It's basically the majority of his team currently top of the league.

I'm not so sure. I think the difference between Pearson and Bruce or McCarthy, or instance, is that Pearson has actual supporters on here. So in a way it's a more positive reason to be quite sharply divided. That said, put me in the sceptical camp.

I saw Chris Powell on TV (Sky I think) the other day discussing the plight of Villa. When ribbed by the other pundit that he should get the job he looked very sheepish. I naturally assumed that it was because he thought never in a million years...

Yeah, for a week.  If our fans can love MON they can love anybody.

[Le Lapin]

This is another big gamble by the club if it's true....Oh poopoo.... Hopefully it is conjecture. We need a safe pair of hands,  why gamble this early.  We are relegated,  wait and see who becomes available during the early summer....

Fixed.

Very true. If he gets it, good luck to him. I too will support him. I hope he is backed in the summer.

We can't afford to wait that long

I think I have been softened into accepting Pearson through the sheer fear of McCarthy or Southgate. If Moyes is a no go, I at least want someone who is going to try and get us playing, and Leicester away last season was a complete mauling. I can understand the board going for him, but he is one that will have to win the fanbase over on the pitch rather than get unswerving support from the off. I hope if it is him, he is here for the last 2-3 games so he can start having a look.
