All the more reason not to have him back. Media communication is part of the job. You either do it with a good grace or you let the club down in various ways, Like it or not, football thrives on the media and all the comment and controversy created. Clever managers get something from their media contact, the antagonists just make a rod for their own suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get some people on here. He's 53 been in professional football all his life. 11yrs of that on the management side and probably had more to do with last seasons win than we will ever know. Also a huge part in the great escape. Yet so many here think he needs a baby sitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleronnie Posted 8 May 2017 Share Posted 8 May 2017 I do wonder if some 'modern football fans' are only happy if a 'big name' manager is in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS would still do all the pre.post match interviews that Pearson seemed to hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever managers get something from their media contact, the antagonists just make a rod for their own suffering. I agree that having Pearson back could complicate the dynamic. If the board are prepared to work with him again, wish to consider him as a future option for Leicester (and if he wants to play ball too) then perhaps he could have a chance at their new club in Belgium, should that proceed. I don't think I'd look beyond that, not unless Shakespeare were pushing for it. I'm not sure how bad he was with the media, thoug. Many very, very abrasive top managers 'get something from their media contact' too, even if it looks awkward. I think, for his part, that he used it to help foster a 'siege mentality' at the club. At times I wonder whether the media darlings really use the press to their advantage. Take Ian Holloway, for example, who was full of wise cracks but let slip that he thought City may already have the points to stay up in 2008.

Clever Fox Posted 8 May 2017 Share Posted 8 May 2017 Pearson coming back just isn't going to happen unless it was as Manager again. It would be too problematic for everyone, not least the players. What I'd really like to see is us too bringing in a top quality European Coach to work with but under Shakey. It would bring new fresh idea's and methods to help with our development. Especially the young players. But it has to be Shakey who chooses him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chico1958 Posted 8 May 2017 Share Posted 8 May 2017 Shakespeares done really good up til now If he get's the job let him choose his own side kick He deserves that from the owners, if they bring in a high profile coach then it'll undermine what he's achieved so far. More importantly, if they bring in a Manager, how do you keep him happy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it seems the Owners are talking to Shaky in France. He's obviously their first choice and I guess they will only look elsewhere if they can't reach agreement with him. That agreement could depend on him being allowed to bring in more Coaching support - and appoint his own team. Obviously Stowell will stay - but he does need an experienced Assistant Manager - possibly someone who has been a Manager (Stowell hasn't got that background). Chris Powell fits that bill - he's worked with Shaky before, he has a good Coaching pedigree and he has been a Manager at Championship and League 1 level (over 200 games). I, for one, hope they talk to him, as I said above, before Pearson pinches him for the Boro job ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Shaky says he wants an experienced Assistant, one he knows and trusts, I can't think of anyone with a better CV. As Ramadaone, St Albans and Ric have pointed out, he was at the ground last week - and is often covering us for TV - so he's still got links (and could still live locally). I'd say IF they appoint Shaky, Powell could well be coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found out Bruno's been doing a few coaching jobs since he left us in 2012: http://www.brunoberner.com/portfolio/coaching/ He was Youth Coach at FC Zurich from the time he left us to 2015. He hasn't updated his website CV recently, but from photos on the site, it looks like has been doing some coaching at Dinamo Zagreb. He has all his badges. He has loads of club and International experience. Like Powell, he's worked with Shakespeare before and is known by Rudkin and the owners. He could well also be coming back in a coaching capacity.

OllieLodge96 Posted 24 May 2017 Share Posted 24 May 2017 I don't know whether this really has much of an impact, but both Powell and Berner were LBs. Is it not better to try and get a coaches who have played elsewhere. I would be happy with either of Berner or Powell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if Bruno will be coming back, he was only appointed Manager of FC Tuggen in Swiss 1 Liga Promotion (their 3rd Division) back in November.
