Love the last bit, that Brendan has invited him to the training ground.

 

as an aside, who would approve of Nigel on the coaching team? That would be ace!

[lifted*fox]

always an absolute boss for us

 

had shit sorted from top to bottom, didn't suffer any fools - both players and press; and his legacy still lives on strong with the team spirit we have here.

 

anyone who can't appreciate what pearson did here is several sandwiches short of a picnic, tbqfh. 

 

would happily welcome him back as some sort of coach / behind the scenes guy who got all of our sport science / psychology shit back up and running properly.

Him Shakey and Walsh would be perfect replacements for Beaglehole etc.

Idiakez would be perfect to lead the Academy and he is a Pearson favourite.

Agreed. Always shocked me that there were people on here constantly slagging him off as he was leading us up the divisions, while pining after the likes of Sven.

 

It's as clear as day that we have a lot to thank Pearson for.

[Fox92]

Love him man what a legend.

And reassuringly expensive.  One guy that comes from the modern era with fresh ideas will suffice. Needs a regime change as it has all gone very stale.

3 peaks challenge my ar$e, has he ever done Robin-a-Tiptoe, Old John and Mowmacre Hill in less than a week?

six of one half a dozen of the other for me.

pros - cleared up  svens bingo card approach to  signing players, got us promoted twice with highest total points ever (or whatever), got us through the great escape.

cons - a bit suspect up top when the pressure is on (losing his rag with the media, strangling mccarthy, and telling fans to FOAD), very inflexible in-game tactics, bottled playoffs twice, and got us into  the mess that required the great escape in the first place.

pro and con - having a stupid kid that got him fired but ultimately lead to us winning the league with Claudio.

 

Plenty to  thank him for, but he hit his ceiling in  the PL, an excellent lower league manager.

No these were strengths. 

 

Fan deserved it.

 

Big Nige too professional to ever let on what McCarthy had done or said but it was obviously deserved and justice was served Big Nige style. Imagine seeing those glistening white trainers fading as the blood slowly drained from his brain...

TIME FOR HIM TO COME HOME !!! 
 

RODGERS IS A BUSTED FLUSH SINCE HIS NEW CONTRACT WAS SIGNED 

[Bourbon Fox]

PEARSON IN

[Guest Harrydc]

For the record, I have never changed my profile image on here 

[lgfualol]

Give him 1 million to come in and give one speech to the players, should get things back on track. Rodgers is the Michael Scott of managers.

[fox_favourite]

Love this guy and so pleased that the dream team is back in football. 

 

I want Watford to stay up...only for Pearson and Shakey

[Tuna]

Watford should give him a new contract, his deal is up at the end of the season.

[Chester Dontlie]

I though his days as a football manager were over after the OHL misadventure. Watford gambled on him, and I'm glad they did. Keeping my fingers firmly crossed now for Nige & The Hornets staying up!

 

I also like that he keeps Shakes as the assistant... Leicester connection

Legend. 

[Wymsey]

I think his past behavioural issues at LCFC, as well as success, have helped him become a better manager (and individual) - too.

 

He's more experienced in dealing with things more, especially after his time at LCFC.

Hopefully this is a joke but in case it isn't here's some persective....

 

at one point in 2014 Pearsons Leicester got 2 points from 13 games. In 2020 in Brendan's absolute worst run as manager, a run which has people like you up in arms he has got 12 points from 12 games. 6 times more points than Pearson's worst. 

 

Yes Pearson was good for the club but it's acient history we are currently 3rd having our 2nd best season in our whole history. The players and manager are in a bad run, sod the nostalgic posts about Pearson let's get behind what we have now and hopefully enjoy some more European adventures next season.

Always a legend here, great manager and glad he is starting to get things moving at Watford 

[HybridFox]

Felt like a Leicester win! I miss Big Nige 

[NeilLCFC]

Never felt more connected to this club than I did when NP was in charge.

 

True legend
