Remi- It has happened.

It's a mercy killing really, isn't it?

Although I think Pearson is a mentalist I do think he is tough enough to stamp on this oh so obvious dissent in the camp.

I really hope if it is him that he starts to tear into these wankers from day one

My thoughts exactly. It's all about revenge for me now.

[Hookeysmith]

I think with the right backroom team he is the only logical UK choice

Talk of Bruce / Pulis / Alladyce makes a little bit of sick form in my throat - actually anyone of those tried and failed muppets and that's it for me

It's not based on more than feeling, but when I think about Pearson managing Villa in the Championship it just screams '11th'. I can just picture his face after another disappointing home draw, you know? The whole enterprise would be like giving up.

[ozzjim]

But you won't get that team from Leicester

Totally agree.

Lambert, Sherwood and Garde are just too soft to really make an impression on this group of idiots. I'd like our next manager to have a fear factor, I'm just not interested in Pearson..

That's all well and good but what happens on Day 2? He won't have Walsh or Shakespeare alongside him. We'd just end up with a mentalist as manager. No thanks.

Can't we just skip to day 6 where he has Richards adopt the ostrich position whilst someone uses him for jousting practice.

"And that's why you don't f##k with me."

I can't help thinking that in so much as this season's been a car crash that no one's wanted to watch, Pearson would be pouring petrol onto the funeral pure and create a spectacle that every one else would find entertaining, whereas no one actually involved would think it much fun (yet again).

[FranzBiberkopf]

Pearson - I just cannot see it.

Can you really imagine someone as staid, steady, conservative as our board going for an outspoken nutjob like Pearson?

[brian green]

VID good post but they won't use Richards in the Ostrich Position just for vaulting. Like in the nudist colony sports day, anybody leap frogging deliberately low gets sent home.

[chrisw1]

I see absolutely no merit in Pearson (or anyone else for that matter) just steaming in and chucking a few grenades about.  We've tried the bomb squad before and it was an unequivocal disaster.  Yet this is pretty much what you are all clamoring for.

It's obvious we are shit, but whoever comes in is going to have to work with a good few of these players whether we like it or not. 

As for it being Pearson, he (eventually) got Leicester playing pretty well before self imploding.  But without his backroom staff it seems a massive gamble to me.

[mr underhill]

Let's leave the shroud waving until he's actually appointed. Better still, let's hope they appoint someone else
