Manager for next season

[cdbearsfan]

I'm not sure how often I have to post his CV on here to convince people that Di Matteo is not "meh"!

I give up. In Ostrich-Obsessed Strangling Wanker we trust.

*sobs.

instead of putting success next to all his jobs you could also put Sacked,
apart from the MK dons one where he didn't turn up half the time and was lazy

Sacked from the Baggies despite them being safely midtable which was a good performance for them, I suspect, because he was looking for another job.
Sacked from Chelsea because it was a Tuesday (I don't know if it was, insert your own arbitrary day in here) and Abramovich had run out of shreddies (or maybe coco pops).
Walked out of Schalke because they had a bust up over th esummer spending plans after a decent (but not brilliant) season.

So sacked as many times as Moyes who was being seen as a messiah by some on here and less times than Pearson who is the other favourite.  Can you name many managers who've been at 4 clubs who don't have 2 or more sackings?

no,
 but I was just trying to point out to cd bully that his post wasn't persuading those who arn't for turning

I wont be massively upset with De Matteo at all,
 but I don't think he's head and shoulders above Pearson that's all, and I also think Pearson would be the sort of character we need to sort out the mess

but hey its only what i would prefer

I'll convince you one day!

I like Di Matteo more, but in all honesty I think Pearson would have a bigger impact, particulary early on. He also won't suffer fools gladly. We don't have to be thinking of 2-3 years time. Pearson would be good to set us on our way, and then we do a Leicester and replace him with someone who can progress us from a hopefully solid footing in the top flight again.

He must hate Nigel Pearson then.

Maybe that's why he's so angry all the time, he catches himself in the mirror and gets himself in a bad mood for the day.

Maybe he's a staunch socialist that couldn't bear having to justify himself to the largely right wing press sat in front of him. And he'd heard James McArthur voted Tory. And the bloke he told to fuck off and die was wearing a Barbour jacket.

In fairness to Pearson, one of the (very few!) things I like about him is that he ostracised (not ostrichcised) a player for voting BNP.

So his politics would at least appear more civilised than his son's.

I'm concerned by talk of laziness with Di Matteo, and the talk of touting for other jobs. I'm more concerned by that than Pearson being a bit angry at times.

I've just returned from a stag weekend and been yet again told what a fantastic job Pearson did at Leicester by one of their fans. We still lambast O'Neill for the mess he left behind, well that certainly can't be levelled at him.

I remain convinced that he's the man the to begin a job of rebuilding us into a professional, disciplined outfit, throughout the club.

He'll do for me then lol!

[martin o`who??]

I registered with a Leicester city forum after they won the League to wish them well and they were to a man VERY complimentary about Pearson and said what a great acquisition he would be for us, he is held in high affection over there - and that is good enough for me.

[cdbearsfan]

They quite like O'Neill too though, and they hate Little!

Fuck 'em!

I give up. In Ostrich-Obsessed Strangling Wanker we trust.

*sobs.

instead of putting success next to all his jobs you could also put Sacked

How many managers full stop could you not put 'sacked' next to though?!

To be fair, O'Neill promoted them and won 2 league cups and SBL fucked off to us as soon as we showed him a bit of ankle. I can at least see the line of logic!

Not many
But CDB was making out his resume was something special when he'd been sacked from every job bar one

[Tony Erdington]

If Moyes is out of the equation, then what about Fat Ed??

[Edvard Remberg]

Hey! Get off my back - not interested in the job - the owner is suspicious  (joking - don't sue me)

He's been sacked twice. Pearson has been sacked twice. Ron Saunders was sacked by Man City before we got him.

There's not too many managers who have been around for any length of time who haven't been sacked.

[cdbearsfan]

Oh, and "resume"?

I'm disappointed in you John.
