He clearly tried to change too quickly at Derby and the players were entrenched in a way of playing which was at odds with that. He knows and commands respect from the majority of this squad. Not sure how he could reconcile with the owners though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't people say that last time he came back, you know, that time when he won us the Championship and set the foundations for us winnning the Premier League?

st albans fox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 The odds are not a decent indicator of likelihood. remember preki? what were Claudio's odds like last time? nigels odds falling is a combination of a few quid from punters and the bookies not wanting to get caught in a small market. i would serisouly consider not renewing my season ticket if he came back. It's a big effort to get to every home game and causes aggro with my missus re my young kids. The club surely cannot sack a man for what is irreconcilable differences between him and the board and re employ him less than two years later and maintain their integrity?

They just sacked Raneri, their title-winning manager, after 20 months in charge - what makes you think they'd be more upright than other owners? Maybe they've now realized they wouldn't be here without the groundwork laid out by none other than Nigel Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure it would work now, it would inevitably end the same way again. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mee-9 Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 Would the owners have him back? I suppose if we were to go down its a safe pair of hands to get rid of all the deadwood/players which cost a fortune and then get us back up.

Pearson worked his way up in terms of management and managing in the Premier League - yes, it was a tight affair, but he did change things around on a tactical basis, resulting in The Great Escape©. I do think he's shown he's more than capable at this level if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 Returning to Pearson however desperate the situation becomes will be a retrograde step in my opinion. It's like all those calling for O'Neill to come back. They are history and looking at them is only looking backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcrinaldi Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I don't think this is a good idea. They say never go back. let alone, come back be an absolute nutcase, have your son commit the ultimate embarrassment to the board, then be sacked and then come back! I understand everything he achieved with us, but to replicate it for the 3rd time. I just don't see it ending well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his tactics in the great escape season were just as woeful and baffling as Ranieris. He needs Walsh too, without that team around him he struggles, look at Derby, they were devoid of tactics and played some truly horrible football underneath him by all accounts. I would be more open minded about it if Walsh came back with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these fears connected to one man only - we should be more concerned about the position we're finding ourselves in in the table and the attitude of our so-called footballing pros. There's not that many names I think could sort it all out in this short space of time. As for the "nutcase" part - never understood such hostility towards the man. It was an act. Many people have described Pearson as an absolutely regular, happy and jovial guy away from the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 To be honest, I'm slightly losing the plot with everything going on at our club at the moment. If Pearson is reinstated I won't feel either pleased or disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
