Guest MattP Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 It won't be Pearson, that ship has sailed and he'd have to throw out more stroppy selfish overpaid bastards now than he did first time around. If he does go then we go for anothe rup and coming manager in the Championship, rather than a past it big name who is up for a last pay off.

At very least he would get a last 16 CL tie to oversee to go alongside the 15 league games to save us 4. We have the money even if it was to cost 5. Newcastle are pretty much up so would that money grabbing Ashley really object to getting a pay off for him? You've lost me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Nigel's positive relationship with most of what is still a very talented squad gives him as good a chance of turning things around as anyone. Plus there'd be some confidence that if we did go down he'd definitely be willing to stay and definitely be capable of doing a good job. I mean it's a pointless discussion because we've got a manager, he's probably going nowhere and even if he did we'd never reappoint Nigel, but he would be a damn good option if we end up looking for a new manager. I'd back Rowett to come, and I'd back Rowett to sort it, personally, his man management skills seem spot on. Let's remember according to some all we have to do is motivate the lads a bit and we have the best team in the league. Much as I think that is a load of old shit it is quite obvious we are capable of considerably better than what we are producing at the moment, we look poor. I too doubt Claudio will go anywhere in the immediate future and I am yet to want him gone but if things carry on it is plane to see what direction this is going in. He needs some results soon, defeats to Debry and Swansea and I think the pressure will be very very real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think he'd be what he was without Walsh long term, as I said recruitment is absolutely key with him. Who would sort out a mess instantly, I don't know I've not researched every single option available over the last year, as I'd hope the club have. But it will need to be someone with knowledge of the league, knowledge of our players, and opposition. Most importantly someone tactically astute who can walk in and work with what he's got.

What he did at Birmingham was excellent, gets the players on side and gets them working for him pretty much straight away. I know people moan about his style of play, but they did the same about Pearson. Yes he always bordered on the cautious side. But we could play good football when he'd got the players to do so. Backing a long term manager he'd be a good bet. Just a risk in this league as to whether the players will respect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly prefer him over Owl Face, while he might have a decent track record steadying ships we are not Inter Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4DD0gg Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 Take Pardew for until the end of the season, he has a knack of getting teams out the shit, then bin in the summer before his seeping rot sets in and go for Mancini or Warburton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most concerning thing about my statement above is those same players can't pass anymore for some reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bald reynard Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 Guus Hiddink as safe hands until the end of the season - look what he did for Chelsea last season (Champions from the previous season who were languising near the relegation zone when he took over - and finished half way on 50 points - I'd take that). And the doomsayers on here, say he hasn't faced a relegation fight .... !? Roberto Mancini would be more of a gamble, but might be another option. As a long term choice (a big gamble at this stage), I would go for Gary Rowett. Goodness know why Brum got rid of him. Good record for Birmingham and a great success at Burton - but they are in the FL, not the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody supports each other, they all look to run away from the player with the ball rather than too the player with the ball. Invariably that means you only end up with one or two options already mark or a hoof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 If we'd have gone for someone like Rowett after sacking Pearson i'd have been gutted, but right now i'd really welcome it.

I'd have no confidence in him doing a good job at all without Walsh handing him good players, and even with Walsh I'd be very unsure. I mean, did you not see the total and utter shambles he made of the Derby job? He took a team who were on table topping form and immediately dumped them into the relegation zone. Since he left the exact same team is 3rd in the form rankings. Pearson was getting them relegated. It ranks as one of the worst managerial performances in English professional football history. And then he punched the owner in the face and got himself sacked. Man's head is shot to bits. Some confidence? Absolutely no confidence whatsoever.
