I don't like or want Pearson, however surely even someone as seemingly thick and arrogant as him knows he will be on very thin ice with the media and therefore 'check himself before he wrecks himself'? If he comes across like a c**t again he simply won't get employed at anywhere near this level. Surely even he knows that?... Surely?!

He only starting saying those stupid things when they were in the prem, just remember him being just another manager down there before they got promoted.

Although I suppose his card has been marked now by those in the media.

Pearson will start monday.

In which case, I would have thought he would be at the game today.  Interesting to see if he is there.

Stuart Pearce would be almost the worst possible choice.

Indeed.

I watched that mission survive show. Pearce is unbelievably thick. Not just a little bit dense, but full on stupid.

Those are words I hoped I would never see. How a club on it's arse even consider letting this clownshoes take  the reigns of the Aston Villa team is beyond me. He's a petulant, childish bully, he already has previous with the press which puts him on the backfoot should things not start off well and he told his own Leicester supporters to "fuck off and die" during a match. He's an idiot.

He is an idiot. And a bully. And a tosser. All of those things.

But I would happily swap the squad he put together at Leicester for the one we have here.

Mind you for all Pearson's faults of he takes over, wins games and gets us promoted they'll all be forgotten.

He said that to "one" supporter. And on the back of getting horrendous personal and public abuse from him for an extended period of time. Not that I am condoning the specific language used by Pearson but you or I wouldn't have stood for it. What he was being called was out of order as was the response, but if you want Leicester "fans" opinions of him visit their forums to see how highly thought of he was there.

Watch the 'fuck off and die' video on YouTube and tell me you wouldn't have reacted the same way. It's disgusting vitriolic abuse by one numbskull and Pearson, as any human being would do, reacts. It's not like he dragged the bloke out the crowd and have him a good shoeing.

Quite simply I've got to the stage where I really couldn't care less what sort of person is in charge. If he gets us winning, playing football and back up then that's all that matters for me now, even if the board and owner are largely responsible for this mess. 
I liked Garde, Lambert, Sherwood etc etc etc etc but after 5-6 years of watching the club die on it's arse I'd gladly take an idiot that gets results rather then a likeable manager that doesn't.

So be it. Ron Saunders was always a miserable git. If Pearson has any of that sort of success......

Same here. And having been ok with previous appointments, I am happy to accept my misgivings might well be wrong and just hope he does well. He doesn't play Pulis football and has a decent if not stellar record in the division we are going into. Only Hughton in recent times is better really. Bruce seems to be too defensive, Pearson is not that at least.
