Bagworthblue Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 To be fair, add press duties too - though this is mainly as it is the perfect medium to promote how great he is or defend how bad he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinsocks Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Hiddink is on the seniors tour. He can't be a long term solution. Clubs with stability do better over the long term coz management changes dilute the returns from investments in players. In uk we have loads of tv money...and some of the best players in the world as a result... but still we haven't dot the best teams in europe.... we keep changing managers! We should appoint for the long term. The best manager .... adding value to the ability of his squad, apart from Jose, is Koeman.. and he has years ahead of him. We should go get him.

I agree entirely that we should look to do this next year but appoint Hoodwink for now and spend the year lining the right person up.... or on a 2 year basis gradually wean Shakespeare into the role with HIddink handing over gradually in a succession management plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Is there any evidence that shakey is anything other than Nigel's mate? Whenever I see them speaking pitch side, shakey never seems to have much input to the conversation. When Nigel was sitting in the stand, KP seemed to be more involved in getting the message across than shakey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Who was Nigel Pearson? Who was Eddie Howe? Who was Mauricio Pochettino? There's a couple of (b?)illionaire businessmen making this decision, let's hope they make the right one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MattP Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Does he mean since then? All the players were begging him to stay when he was there. You have to seriously wonder why he didn't take it if that was the case. Doesn't make much sense. He was managing Turkey a few months later, surely nowhere near as attractive as Chelsea.

EnglishOxide Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 I genuinely cannot believe they would sack Pearson because of his conduct and replace him with Lennon. It would literally be unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was as big a fan of Nigel as anyone, but seriously you and all have to move on it has happened and probably for a very good reason that we will probably never know. So let's get on with where the club is heading. I am sure it will work out. Life does go on after big decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nige's conduct were the reason he was sacked, it wouldn't make much sense to replace him with Lennon, who's no saint on the touchline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's get on with where the club is heading. I am sure it will work out. Life does go on after big decisions. I'm not sure why some people can't distinguish between disputing a board decision about Nigel Pearson and getting behind the new manager. You can disagree with the sacking, think it was one of the dumbest, silliest decisions ever and still fall in love with whoever comes next. Just because you recognise the risks associated with Pearson's sacking doesn't mean you don't hope it all works out beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you recognise the risks associated with Pearson's sacking doesn't mean you don't hope it all works out beautifully. My point is how can people not understand that the board did not make this decision to hurt the club, the players, the fans o their own interest. It must of been something very concerning to sack a successful and popular manager. Do people really think this would of been done if there were alternative actions? Why in gods name would they have done this if it could have been avoided. So saying Dumbest, stupidest etc is just completely naive and immature.
