Infact fcuk it.

I'm gonna get behind him, on reflection we could have got a lot worse,

He's not really a character, but if he does well with City then who cares,

I'll judge on results!

Bring on August 9th.

Nigel Pearson's Blue Army :scarf:

Come on people, don't all give up and stress and get pissed off.

He hasn't started yet, give him a fcuking chance.

You can all shove your win percentages up your arse. It's a fresh start for him, it's a fresh start for us.

OK he's not a proven name, but he can prove himself with us.

Get behind your fcuking team and stop complaining, it is what it is, deal with it.

I'm now waiting for the "I bastard love him and he was always my first choice" post that is probably coming soon then.

That will never come. He was never my first choice.

He'll grow on me as points get on the board.

Fantastic appointment who most Saints fans wanted to be in charge at St Marys next season. You think you've got problems in the boardroom? We've got a bunch of immature w*nkers, point scoring, hence the reason Pearson lost his job. Lowe didn't appoint him. Lowe doesn't want him.

He came to Southampton after 6 straight defeats and turned a bunch of overpaid journeymen into a team prepared to fight for every scrap and in the end it's the passion he brought into the side that kept us up. Games where we went 1-0 down and under Burley would have surrendered to a 3-0 defeat, we looked hungry and kept fighting with goals up until the end. He made players like Euell and J. Wright (booed by the fans earlier in the season) look like decent championship players and he managed to bring in 3 fantastic loans (R. Wright, Perry and Lucketti) to stop us leaking goals. Something Burley decided to ignore as he continued to buy 30 something year old centre midfielders.

Although he didn't win many games, with his own players and a full pre season to prepare his team, you can look forward to a bright future.

Good luck.

Thankyou.

I hope you are right,

Sounds like Southampton fans have nothing but good to say about him.

Part of me thinks this could be another Rob Kelly. Another part of me thinks, he's completely unproven and we may well have stumbled across a quality manager. Saints fans speak very highly of him, but had we got rid of Kelly at the end of the 2005/06 season our fans would have been saying the exact same thing about Rob.

He's gotten experience as an Assistant to some good managers, but he has also spent a few years with Brian Robson, that won't have done him any favours.

I am suspending my judgement completely. I am thankful it is not John Gregory and I have to swallow my pride and accept that in League One, we aren't going to get a sought after manager. At this level you are left with failed managers or with completely unproven managers.

May I point out that we've been through lots of managers and none of them have done any good since Micky Adams. Out of those managers that have come and gone, there's been mass approval from our fans and mass disapproval for others. But at the end of the day, they have all failed. What i'm trying to say, is, it doesn't necessarily matter who the manager is, and it certainly doesn't matter whether the fans wanted them or not. It's about whether that manager can find that ingredients that is missing from this club, to get us back where we all want to be.

I hope he installs a winning mentality and has the ability to teach our footballers how to play some effective and attractive football. I hope he has faith in building a team around some of our decent youngsters as well such as Wesolowski, Gradel, King etc.

Welcome Nigel.

Right, my twopence worth.

Not my first choice, I would have loved someone with a more concrete record we could feel confident with - an Ince, Grayson, Davies, etc would have been great in our current situation.

But assuming this is true I'm not unhappy and feeling surprisingly optimistic.

- He's not John Greogry, Peter Reid, Megson, Warnock or many of the other horror names

- He's never failed

- He's a young manager who may well have great potential

- Great references from Saints fans

- Even with the Carlisle record, didn't he take over an abismal team and save them from the brink?

- Certainly saved Southampton from the brink last season

- Apparently he built from the back at Southampton, that's a criticism from some but for me absolutely the right way to rebuild a failing team. Make them hard to beat first then turn them into winners - no point losing 4-3 instead of 3-0

- I'm assuming he knows his limitations with experience and will be desperate to prove himself - much rather this than a manager who'd had success in the past but failed recently and is content to live on the legend in his own head

- We're a league 1 club now, let's be realistic in who we could get

- He seems to be a passionbate manager who will give underperformers a kick up the backside or drop them and will be screaming from the touchlines. Recalls some fond memories from way back

As fans we are far too negative generally and all this is in the public domain, do you really think the people concerned don't read it?. I'm fully 100% behind the manager and will sing his name on the opening day or the season.
