If you're going to shout rude things at people then you should expect it back and certainly don't deserve any sympathy. A shame Pearson couldn't rise above it but hey ho.

He is a good leader... works with hadworking players and gets rid of prima donnas. But he wasnt able to tactically compete in the pl. He took us up to beyond his area of competancy. I am glad he did.. but hes not the one to improve us now

Would really want Pearson coming back without his right hand man Shakey as number two? The pair are double act, when Pearson went to Derby without shakespeare he struggled. **** off and die.

I am glad he did.. but hes not the one to improve us now I agree, in fairness though, 1 season in the prem is hardly grounds to say he is tactically not good enough and wouldn't improve. Wagner would be welcomed with open arms by most here but he's hardly set the league on fire, they've been pretty poor and he's made some wild decisions. Would I want to give him another chance? Probably not. But if definitely not write him off just yet in terms of potential capability.

I'd say that he learnt pretty quickly all things considered and despite a poor season he found a system that worked towards the end and the players never gave up. Aside from the title win I've seen nothing to suggest that anyone else has done any better since. Why is everybody so sure that Pearson wouldn't have gone on to be a better manager in the PL given more time with this squad? I don't understand the whole 'above his level' thing. People learn and people improve.

The season we won the league claudio ranieri sat back and let Shakespeare take training set up tatics and deal with the nutrition amd diets for the players and if you actually think about it our playing style was exactly the same from the great escape. Still beleave CR just took the credit for it. NP eventually got this team of average players into winners not just winners but hungry crazed players that fought for every second from kick off. Do think we should reappoint him? no I don't. But would be happy if he was given the job again atleast he would steady the ship for a few years Absolutely no chance would we have won the league without Ranieri's tactics in the second half of the season, and they were his tactics absolutely no question. That season was just a steady transition from Pearson's tactics (the comeback kings) to Ranieri's tactics and the rest is history.

He took us from our lowest point in history to building the squad that won the premier league. He’s my all time favourite manager and I have no idea how anyone could say anything bad about him. Again, not wanting him back, preferring MON or Ranieri, disagreeing with how Pearson handled certain situations or whatever, is not the same as saying ‘bad’ things about him. People get far too protective and sensitive (the younger posters at a guess) whenever someone else disagrees with something NP did or gives him any sort of mild criticism. Seems to me if you’re not a Pearson ‘lover’ on here and permanently rimming the job he did then you’re seen as ‘anti Pearson’ - which is total bollux.

RumbleFox Posted 6 May 2018 Posted 6 May 2018 I bet he's got the biggest dong of any of our former managers and, for that reason alone, it is a yes from me. Come home oh pendulous one. X

I can just hear the players now right that’s it Im really pissed of infact I’m that pissed of I’m going to play really well all season and win the league, that’ll show them Well they wanted to act as a band of brothers and rally round each other. It inadvertently brought them closer together. Question it if you want but it came from a former assistant, then manager, who's namesake was a world renowned author/playright...
Wymsey Posted 6 May 2018 Posted 6 May 2018 Life sometimes can't expect to provide dreams for some, no matter how much one admires such a thing to happen again which they've appreciated in the past. Some need to accept that him being hired again for the role is as unlikely as there being no clouds in the sky for the rest of this month. It won't happen.

This was with a team that had the likes of Schwarzer, Konchesky, Taylor-Fletcher and Liam Moore playing throughout the season.

People learn and people improve. Great post. We started that season pretty well, middle of the season we had a dreadful run despite playing alright in the most part of the games. Then end of season we looked very good again, thanks to a tactical change from a man who is allegedly tactically naive. Sean Dyche took Burnley down remember, would have been easy to say he isn't up to the top level, but instead he and Burnley have improved for the experience. Now we would love to tempt Dyche away. Team spirit really can do you alright in this league. Stoke, West Brom etc thought the grass would be greener and they will both be playing Championship footy next year.

matty98 Posted 6 May 2018 Posted 6 May 2018 It's hardly surprising the players aren't willing to play for any other manager, why settle for less than the best?
