Also he gets and respects the fans. That’s a massive thing in this era.

Not me he doesn't; told me to FOAD.

Non footballing reason. Not that I think it's the right direction to go in anyway

He'll be passing us, on the way up the Championship

[Blue ROI]

Get him back in some capacity. 

[Itsthejoeker]

Why would he leave Bristol?

[whoareyaaa]

Would take us straight back up

[Unabomber]

Imagine the reception when he comes back with Bristol city.

 

”this is a reminder if Nigel waves please stay off the pitch”

The year is 2039

 

Nigel Pearson is 75 years old

 

A seventh "Bring Back NFP" thread of the season has been started on FoxesTalk

[Guest Basildon Fox]

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me exactly why there are comments on his tactical nous, how football has moved on. If you say it then at least explain your bullshit.

 

It makes so little sense, especially when he is managing in the division we are now in.  He obviously knows the Championship as well as any other manager around.  He knows how to get out of it too. Over 100 points he got a few years ago.

 

As for why would he come? History, the fact we are a much bigger club than Bristol City and ambition.

Palace did it with Hodgson so why not?

[Mr Weller 2]

No, not at all. No way.

We could probably triple his wages. He'd also get to visit Seagrave golf course, sorry, training ground. 

[Leicesterpool]

Yeah... he's doing a fantastic job at Bristol City.... perhaps not.

I would always welcome this man. But part of me doesn't want us to taint him with this job. He's got a good thing at Bristol at the moment and they seem to be giving him time and space.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I haven’t posted since the game yet but have had plenty of time to chat about this on my drive home. As long as he has Shakey - who knows what’s going on currently - I think he’s the only man for the job.

 

Pearson has done a rebuild with us in the past on similar scale when we went down to League One, and he also cleared out all the crap acquired by Sven. And got us promoted. I don’t think there’s anyone more qualified.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

He hasn't just been shafted by Southampton, and he isn't desperate to get out of Bristol like he was Hull. There's currently no reason for him to want to come here a 3rd time.

On a side note, I can totally see Bristol City in the play-offs at our expense

[Gazza3]

Just let it go ffs

Money and to be honest we have a better chance of going up 

[Cincinnati Fox]

Nige should come and be our DOF.

Debatable.

We’re currently 6/1 to win it

 

Bristol City 40/1 

 

Very much doubt he’d turn us down and from our perspective it would be nice to have a manager who actually wants to be here rather than constantly listing all th reasons why we are lucky to have them as our manager (cough cough Brendan*)

6/1 is laughably lazy from the bookies. I'd want at least 33/1. We've only got a handful of players that we know for sure are going to be here next season.
