foxfanazer Posted 5 July 2015 Author Share Posted 5 July 2015 I would say the opposite. I think the owners have showed a lot of faith in Pearson, when he could have been sacked at least twice. - After the terrible losing run in the Watford semi final year - When 7 points adrift at the bottom of the Premier league Not mentioning the other off field incidents last season. I think it would be a very attractive job for a lot of managers. This I agree with. They've had ample opportunities to pull the trigger and have continued to resist until now. Makes the timing all the more bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 The new potential managers will be wondering what they have to do in order not to get sacked.easy answer to you question Make sure hus actions don't cost the reputation of the club with on and off field events , don't strangle other players on the touchline don't tell fans to **** off and die, make sure your son doesn't do anything in the owners homeland to tarnish clubs growing reputation out there aswel, but yes yes yes we all know what a fantastic job he did in his last 9-10 games hmm mm but I'm sure there is 38 games in a season so when you look at that its actually not that good yes he saved us from relegation but the players had the biggest hand in that, lots of managers will see this as a great opportunity for them with great backing and if you ask any realist NP was lucky to keep his job back in NOV 14, it's time to get over it and move on we are onto offer things now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Yes, don't forget they stood by Nigel when many were calling for his head. Remember THAT run pre-Watford defeat, that run this season, the strangling, the calling a journalist a ****, ostrich jibes.....yes it came a shock to see him get sacked but I'd imagine other managers would be thinking how on earth he got away with so much....

Could you just help me out with one thing though please? When things weren't going our way last season, Pearson takes the flack. Fine he's the manager he should bear most of the criticism. So then when we go on an insane run (top 5 in europe i believe ) why do the players get all of the credit considering they took none of the flack from our poor performances? I honestly can't understand this mentality so do reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Shep Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 I think we are an attractive club, we seem to be a club on the up which would surely attract an ambitious manager who wants to take us forward and not just settle for 17th season in season out. History is irrelevant really, it's about the now and with our potential, stadium expansion, a big fan base ( yes we do have a big fan base, certainly within the top 20 in this country) and ambitious owners I really feel we can only go onwards from here. Sure we will never be Man City or Spurs, but we' can easily emulate the likes of Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxUK Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 We looked like a fun joke with Pearson / beating Man U Now he kept us up and we binned him, we just look like a joke. Thais backed the manager for a long while, Pearson was a long serving manager - think any potential managers will be looking for the same job trust. So yeah, with the owners happy, money, and prem football, we can seem attractable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxychik Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 I think it's easy to dismiss how big the premier league is around the world - the top league from the 'home of football' is a big deal. We are on the world stage matches are shown on TV in countless countries. There seems to be a few that think anyone non English ( potential managers) have no idea who we are .... That's just daft in my opinion it's their job to know who we are ( and all other 'top' clubs ) and how we finished the season would have made people sit up and take notice that's for sure. The owners also will have a good idea about the game and who is available - and I'm sure they have more than enough resources to advise them what to do next - we are not Newcastle they are not Mike Ashley - they have so far invested a lot of cash into our club and I have no doubt they won't want to throw away their investment so far with a poor appointment. Any team in the premiership with money to spend, and potential to improve is going to be attractive IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagofox Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 The owners are mental. They have sacked a manager who has done well. Any potential manager will be wondering if the same fate awaits them. Or ... The potential new manager will, during discussions, ask about why the previous manager was sacked. The board will tell him of their perfectly legitimate and understandable reason (if there is one (as I suspect there is)). And the potential new manager will understand and thus have no worries on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston. Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 I would say were bottom 5 of the most attractive clubs in the league. But we do have money which more attractive clubs probably wouldnt offer for the standard of player we try to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton had just completed their second season back in the Premier League. They had just lost their highly respected Argentinian manager to Spurs. They have one of the best youth systems in the British isles. We have just sacked a man over his son's role in a racists sex orgy following a miraculous escape from relegation, and have been linked with Steve Cotterill.
