Col city fan Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 I can't see how having Sam Allardyce as our manager would show us in any light as a progressive, growing club. He'd probably be ok...but Christ,...at face value it seems like such a backward step. And you know who he'd sign dontcha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleronnie Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Probably not realistic but why not? Probably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Main thing for me is who can manage this group of players. I don't see this as a normal transition given that you have a group there that's unerringly loyal to Pearson. A major change in managerial style is probably not going to have the best result IMO. Someone like Allardyce; old school, English, no-nonsense and liked by his players is probably the safest bet. That said, Allardyce and Pearson are good friends. Can't see him succeeding Nigel when he doesn't have to (not desperate to get back in the game) and when Nigel's left through personal differences.

Brenfox Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Don't think we have a chance in hell of getting Klopp. Just hope this isn't the start of yet another decline for our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyN11 Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Let's get a Johnny Foreigner in. Gary Monk - young and ambitious (he can prove that by leaving Swansea!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieakita Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Klopp does seem like the right for fit for us. He even says he would consider clubs outside the top 4. This might be happening. This is a massive decision by the club they really need to bring in someone seemed as an an upgrade only Klopp stands out from the lists posted on here.

TheStig Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Laudrup is on the betting, yeah i'd go for that. Hmmm he was a wonderful footballer but a Primadonna (even more difficult than NP) and only seems to hold his jobs for 1 season before being "at it" with owners..... so not on and guess he would find Barcelona slightly more attractive as he seems to be in the frame as Sports Director there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Allardyce; old school, English, no-nonsense and liked by his players is probably the safest bet. Exactly, it might not be a glam appointment. But as I put in my first post, for the easiest transition he would be no.1 without question. Much of Pearson's style and methods have come from him. Many players we've been linked with over the years have also been linked with his teams (shows he has a scouting network, no matter how much people joke about signing the same old players), could even be the same network we use currently seeing as Walsh was his scout at Newcastle. Sports science etc he's always used, in fact he's fairly progressive on that side, just as Pearson is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancyclaret Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Dyche would be perfect for you....with the backing Pearson got last season, Dychey would have had the Foxes finishing in the top half. He still lives just down the road in Kettering, so for that reason he might be interested in the Leicester vacancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
