daddylonglegs Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 If we lost the first leg of the champions league game convincingly and we were completely out of the tie I would absolutely suggest we get Pearson in. That second leg against Sevilla with the right man in charge is certainly winnable. Not easy, but not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridFox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 His son is also gone by the way. Just saying. At the end of the day, it wasn't NP part of the scandal. So maybe the hatchet will be buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eblair Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 thought about starting a new thread for this but decided against it cos of the backlog but it is important Why do some of our fans insist on reinforcing the public perception of Pearson as a Neanderthal backwards manager. Pearson was not a basic, simple and stupidly aggressive manager as much of the media and more disturbingly our fans seem to believe - hence why the players want him back. Pearson was one of most progressive managers we have ever had, listening to new technology on both scouting and fitness - and a largely responsible for the cutting-edge infrastructure we had last year. Also despite his gruff exterior to the media, in terms of player management he was extremly progressive and empathetic. After Wayne Brown voted BNP he more or less sacked him the day before our biggest game in ten years. After Paul Gallagher's wife gave birth to a stillborn he understood something are more important than football and gave Gallagher unlimited time to grieve. He also kept the faith in both Vardy and Drinkwater when the fans had decided they were not good enough. The send off he gave to Bruno Berner was a lesson in grace and class. There are so many things Pearson has done at this club, which demonstrate the media mainstream portrayal of him is plainly wrong. I understand the national media portraying Pearson as a Neanderthal - they know eff all. I really don't understand our fans doing the same.

Babylon Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 54 minutes ago, SecretPro said: Pearson did wonders for this club, but he reached his level. He is a top class championship manager but not tactically astute enough to go further than that in a winning capacity. As far as I'm aware, we are still in the Prem and still have 13 games to play. I don't think we should be focusing on good championship managers just yet. I don't know, we finished 14th with him so that's a tad harsh. We'd have done ok with him last year as well I have no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l444ry Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 If the players have really expressed to the Owners their desire for a Pearson's return, then fair enough. But having listened closely I'd like to think they'd weigh it all up and do the complete opposite. The players have caused enough damage for one season.

I loved Pearson, I remember him after a match in the great escape coming over to the crowd and giving fist pumps, getting excited and really getting involved, he made a connection with us fans, however I also remember hIm persevering with 5-4-1 despite it being obviously disastrous, and keeping Albrighton on the bench despite him being our best winger and the fact is, we need to change the style of football we play, we need to change to a possession hungry, passing side more in tune with the modern game, can Pearson achieve that?

Unless he's re-employed and miracle no 3 happens. I don't really want to see him back, but it's not up to any of us who the Owners choose to throw bundles of money at to get us out of this mess, and I would support their decision.

4everfox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I can't quite believe that people actually believe for even a second that the Thai owners would sack the most successful manager in the clubs history and replace him with Nigel Pearson for a third time. His position was quoted as being untenable last time, it simply isn't going to happen and I wouldn't want it to. We need to move on from this. Pearson's last job tainted his reputation and he is now considered a Championship manager at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was with you until you said this. If we try to play a possession game we are down. For the last time, we do not have the players to play that way, nor will we ever have the players to do it better than everyone else. The reason Claudio was progressive is because he knew that and we started employing our own fast paced style which was great to watch and very effective. The above poster is correct that Pearson was very forward thinking in a lot of his management behind the scenes. But tactically he was very backward and it stunted a very talented squad (which yes, he built). With 13 games left a lot will depend on tactics, not his long term plan. My point is, for all his strengths, a manager like Pearson can only take you so far. He's not tactically astute enough to make the most of his other undeniable talents as a manager.

ousefox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 For what it's worth I don't think those odds are short enough to suggest there is a lot in this. I don't think he'll come back but we can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I'm undecided about Pearson coming back for a third time. Not sure how or if it'd work. Having said this, one thing that we can be pretty assured on, these group of players will play for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
