Well done Villa another one gets away. Why have someone like Nigel Pearson who has success at both championship and Pl level and doesn't stand any shit when you can take a gamble on Di Matteo instead? Why bring in totally proven managers who always get their teams out of relegation saving them hundreds of millions of pounds in the process when you can have completely unproven hadn't worked in two years Remi Garde instead. Good work. Let's just go for a novelty manager signing.
Where's bobcat? He had it nailed on through his ITK that Pearson was the new boss as soon as relegation was confirmed.
Quote from: paul_e on May 27, 2016, 08:29:10 PMThe real nonsense of this is that Pearson has absolutely no record of 'sorting the wankers out', the only spells where he's achieved anything have both been with Leicester and neither spell came with a 'there's a bunch of arseholes ho aren't putting the effort in' requirement. It appears that for some if you act like a complete tosser by grabbing opposition players by the throat and being a complete dick to the press it means you've got great man management skills.If you ignore that well documented fact that his players loved him, you may have a point. It appears that for some if you only focus on Pearson as a complete tosser by grabbing opposition players by the throat and being a complete dick to the press it means you give more importance to his outbursts than his overall ability to fix the huge problems at Villa Park.Everybody we've been linked with comes with risks; Moyes, Pearson, RDM. There's no obvious candidate that you feel 'yes' he's exactly what we need.

Because... not foreign. And good at shouting.

He certainly wasn't Roy Keane - not that that's a bad thing. The question i'd ask is why can you imagine say Ferguson, Allardyce, Pardew, Bentitez, SGT, Wenger even, totally losing their shit with the players every now and then? You don't know they do anymore than RDM but you can imagine it. RDM you can't. Just like there's nice guys at work you've never seen lose it but you can imagine it, but there's others you just can't in a millions years. As i said mebbe he's a smiling laidback gentlemen in public but becomes a boot throwing beast in the dressing roomAnyway i don't want someone who loses their rag every week or so. The shock wears off on the players and becomes less effective, but i want the threat thereClaudio Ranieri? Can you imagine him totally losing his shit? Carlo Ancelotti? There's more than one way of doing things.
