In that case why don’t they also idolise O Neil, Little, Milne, Bloomfield and all the others that won promotion 

You can't be serious. while some done ok. None of them could even come close to Nigle, including O Neill. O Neill is a motivator that's it. Similar to Ranieri.They both had good people around them. Oneill, Robertson and Walford. Ranieri had his Italian Coach and Shaky.

 

Nigel took over a shambles of a club that was on a downward spiral.  He rebuilt it from the ground up with the help of the CEO. ( Not sure of his name.)

Brought in Shaky and Walsh to help him. But he was the brains of the operation and between them they signed some great players.

It was Nigels calming influence on the young players that won them over and allowed them to develop their skills while he deflected the pressure onto himself. The one area I think he'd amit to himself was that he's not the best Coach. But that's alright neither was Fergie, who thought highly of Nigel.

 

Even when we were bottom of the Premiership I always felt we were in a false position, some of our football was that good.

Sentimental tosh. O Neil was a highly intelligent and hugely successful manager  who kept us successful in the Premier for many years, something Pearson was totally incapable of doing

Absolutely. 
 

Except for that time he actually did.

What are you talking about abaolute nutcase. He kept us up and then signed the best tbox to box midfielder in the world.

 

What a pathetic bitter little man. This has to be Brendans account.

Seen a few ex players say that despite his demeanour, Nige is a very sensitive bloke.

Harsh. Pearson is reasonably tall.

Genuine question. Why do you seem to dislike one of our best ever managers and seen incapable of giving him credit? People think those that love him are weird, but the opinions of the likes of you and that seenitall are extremely bizarre. Unless you’re just trying to wind people up?

I don’t debate with post title band wagon jumpers who have no memory of what went on before. Have a good day.

There’s a couple of stories where fans couldn’t understand why certain players weren’t playing. One of those was Knockaert whom Nige gave pretty much indefinite leave cos his Dad was poorly.

O neill was decent manager that's true but he admitted himself that he couldn't Coach. He relied on Walford who was an excellent Coach for that purpose. And Robertson was the brains behind the scenes. He scouted a lot of the players we signed and O Neill relied on him totally.

He was also the buffer between the manager and the players. A excellent servant to the Club who never got quite the accolades he deserved.

Rubbish, Pearson never got the chance to keep us in the premiership and was sacked in his second Premiership season for non football reasons.

What's more he looked to the future and left us with a group of players worth a lot of money which we know went onto win the league.

I'm not knocking O'Neill he won us a Trophy, and he kept us competitive in the league.

But when it comes to who done most for the club there's no comparison.

MON got us promoted, made us a stable PL club and won 2 League Cups. Without him we don't get the new stadium. He is the equal of NP in terms of importance imho.

[Sharpe's Fox]

Big Nige built everything good about the club and now we're watching it disintegrate whilst he builds a City upon a Hill in Bristol. Everyday we stray further from Nige's light.

Yeah agreed on that. 
 

Where the two differ is tho and people don’t like hearing is that MON was a devil when it came to what he wanted (always arguing with the board etc). Under his say we’d begun giving out big wages for players rather than being stern. Which eventually led to a very big problem. Feels some similarity there to our current position 

[Collymore]

If you want to know how brilliant Nige was then think of this...

 

When Claudio came in he was so impressed with systems in place and tactics he changed nothing at first and what happened will be etched in our memories forever. 

 

Whoever takes over from Rodgers will have to tear everything apart and do a complete reset.

Yes he is.

 

Really infuriates me that people start comparing O'Neill with Pearson. Both legends and hugely successful with us. Both built this club.

 

Absolute legends, both of them.

Imagine our 2013/14 side against the shambles now. The 2013/14 side would legit win 4/5-0.

Exactly. So weird that some people think it’s got to be one or the other? I suppose that’s the internet though right? Gotta choose a side? Both absolute legends. O’Neill won more silverware but Pearson arguably set us up for the greatest achieve in the history of football. Both, for me, equally as important as each other. Love both of them, my two favourite managers.

The comparison game is so pointless. Different managers, at different times, with the club in a different sort of place, and with different sort of backing. Both were awesome for us and deserve equal respect and praise for what they did in their time here.

 

As for the here and now, would I have Nige back. Yes. If you have ever listened to him discussing football, coaching, etc there is a lot more to Nige than people ever give him credit for, he is a proper football man through and through. He does have unfinished business here and so would be supremely motivated. I have no doubt he would get us back on track.

He has unfinished business where he is.
