I don't like him, but if it is him, and Chris Powell as number 2, then let them get on with it. Indeed I would be more confident of promotion than I would be with most of the other contenders, and I can see how/ what he brings that we don't have at all.

I just don't see myself ever actually liking the man.

you mean the take over that's about as likely as proving the Loch Ness monster exists?

So you reckon that we will never get taken over again?

we could get over taken by a blind man on a unicycle

Can he play left back?

I don't either, he seems a right prat. However I found myself liking McCleish, I liked Lambert and also thought Remi seemed a top bloke. Maybe someone I don't warm to won't matter if we get results.

I don't like Pearson but love him or hate him he shares some responsibility for Leicesters rise and his more recent exp in championship gives him edge over Moyes..

That said me personally I'd take  Houghton mix of decent guy and decent manager

As said previously - not many liked Ron Saunders
I am sure not many liked Fergurson, Cloughie

but they commanded fearful respect and were strong disciplinarians

Fuck me we need some of that

I would like a Villa presence on the coaching side though and I am not advocating Cowans or MacDonald but maybe even a Petrov or an Ian Taylor

Somebody has reliably informed me Pearson in the next 24hrs...take that with as much salt as you want.
I know it's a dangerous thing to say, but I just want it sorted now, I've had enough.

My opinion is, who ever takes over as manager, we just have to get on with it and be grateful given the circumstances

Does Pearson have a style of play that he prefers ?

I suspect he'll get the job done, but then once we are re-established in the PL, we will start moaning about style or something, and agitate for a fancy foreign manager.

There's currently one British manager in the Top 10 and two in the Top 14. One of the them is Tiny Penis. Fancy foreign managers? Let's get promoted first.

Of course we will, don't be silly but this current ''claim'' just seems bollocks to divert some attention and pressure away from the shambles on the field, the shambles in the board room and the human form of a shambles Lerner.

I would rather go down again that have Pulis anywhere near our club - complete and utter anti football

Agreed all this talk of when we are back..............lets build something to get out before we start talking crap like that

I don't know if he has a discernible style but his Leicester side played some very good stuff in getting promoted. And even when they weren't doing well last season they worked hard and weren't just getting blown out like us. And they figured things out and went on that amazing end of season run they played some very nice stuff, lots of energy and passion and scored goals. Remarkable to think a side say bottom of the table could have that level of confidence. Especially when you look at how we capitulate week after week. While Leicester winning the title this season is a stunning achievement Pearson played a major role to put in place those building blocks.

The way this are going we will simply miss all the available managers ............ Pearson won't hang around once other offers come on the table and why should he

To say we would not accept Pulls is wrong ....I am sure the vast majority just want to see us organised and winning games ....... for those old enough to remember how many of us were inspired when Ron Saunders was appointed?

However he was then adored when we started to win games ......... thats got to be the aim currently

It MUST be a British manager who will sort out the dressing room and start to get us back into the Premiership

If Pulls or Pearson were appointed and we won the first 6 games next season how many would be complaining about the appointment?

However the way its going Eric Black and Kevin Mac will be joint managers

Absolutely.  If they have decided on him (or Moyes or anyone else out of work) it is criminal that it hasn't been sorted.

To say we would not accept Pulls is wrong ....I am sure the vast majority just want to see us organised and winning games .......
No way.  I will never accept that Pulis is the answer.

It MUST be a British manager who will sort out the dressing room and start to get us back into the Premiership
It probably will be, but again I disagree.  I would be happy with Flores, Koeman, Bilic, Pocherttino, Benitez, Klopp, Ranieri, Wenger Hiddink or Mourinho!!  Obviously I jest, but you get the point?

If Pulls or Pearson were appointed and we won the first 6 games next season how many would be complaining about the appointment?
Fixed that bit.
