Nigel Pearson appointed Watford manager

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Good luck to him. Hopefully Watford will stay up. This could go one of two dramatic ways I suspect.

But we've studied his every move and watched his team for six years. I'm sure if you asked QPR and Cardiff fans about Neil Warnock they'd give you a different answer to us and most other sets of fans. We think Holloway was a clown but Blackpool fans no doubt adore him.

Different levels. 

Blackpool would adore a depraved, crazed serial killer compared to their owners at the time.

Last time Nigel saved a club from relegation (at our expense *sigh*) they didn't keep him... And the rest is history.

 

Look where Southampton are compared to us now and what could have possibly been for them.

So if they don't keep him, the next club after will probably be revolutionised. 

Like Derby and OHL? 

[Aus Fox]

Good luck to our Nigel, really hope he is successful and keeps them up.

Well done to the Watford owners for a great appointment.

[Guest Markyblue]

Hes a huge part of our history and wish him every success keeping Watford up.

[aefevans]

So Nigel keeps us up, we appoint Ranieri in the summer and then we win the league, right?

[volpeazzurro]

Good luck to him and hope he does well but ... much will depend on the team he employs ground him because thus far without Shakespeare and Walsh he's been crap. If the former is currently out of work he could do a lot worse than re-employing him if he'd go.

You’ve missed the racist orgy, nothing happens without a racist orgy

Derby are exactly where they were when they appointed him, if they had stuck with him and let him do his thing they'd be in the Prem by now or 10 points clear at the top of the championship

 

Mel Morris is goon

Who knows,  he'll give you a chance of staying up hopefully. 

[Bryn]

Would love to see Pearson do well there.

Nige almost ran me over in the car park at Gloucester services a few weeks ago, then just gave me a death stare as he rolled past

There needs to be a racist orgy somewhere in-between all that.

you should be honoured. Hope you said sorry for nearly getting in the way.

[SheppyFox]

Watford have a very strong squad, I still can’t fathom how they’re bottom and I’m absolutely confident Nigel will comfortably keep them up.

What i’d give for a death stare from big Nige...

[Guest Eamonn]

Watford staying up for sure. Great appointment.  Am astonished by doubters on here.

I'd have bought him a pasty while I washed the blood off the Lexus

[ThingsCouldGetMessi]

A slightly surprising appointment given the fact he is the 1st English manager hired since the Pozzo family took charge of Watford. Sean Dyche was the last English Watford manager back in 2012. Dyche probably sees his sacking as a blessing in disguise.

That’s our Nige!!
 

You should feel privileged.

Out of nowhere!

Quite a change of approach from the Watford owners - apart from Billy McKinlay (who resigned after a week)-  the first British manager since they took over. There are some talented players in the Watford squad and I think he can get the best out of them, although I can imagine his style will come as a shock to many in the dressing room compared to what they have been used to.  Certainly nothing to lose in that it will take some huge turn around to avoid relegation, but it will give Pearson/shakespeare the opportunity to show what they can do. If they do well, it works well for both everyone - he will be appointed manger for next season.Good luck to them, I hope Watford show what they should be capable of given their squad,
