davieG Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric expects manager Nigel Pearson to sign a new contract by the end of March. Pearson signed a two-year deal in June 2008 with an option for a third season. And Mandaric told BBC Radio Leicester: "I am always confident Nigel will not leave. As for as the legality of the deal, we are working on that as well. "And before the season is finished - well before the season is finished; I'd say the next 30 days or so - we will sort it out." Pearson, 46, led the club back into the Championship as champions of League One in his first season as boss. And the Foxes have enjoyed a fine season so far, lying fifth following Saturday's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Mandaric has often talked of his admiration for Pearson, whose side are now eight games unbeaten, and is desperate to see him remain at the the Walkers Stadium. "He's here to stay at least as long as I'm here, so there is no problem with Nigel's contract," Mandaric added. "We are in contact, we have dialogue - it is really a rolling contract so when the year is finished there is another year coming. "We are trying to do something more but Nigel is not concerned - it is not an issue. "He says: 'Milan, I look you in the eye - I'm going to go nowhere'. "There is no concern whatsoever and I don't want anyone to worry about it." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ity/8545346.stm?

Guest Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 Keep rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin! I trust that Nige is a man of his word and can't see currently why he'd want to go anywhere else. Get it done Milan
Flynny Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 So when does this rolling contract expire, Rob Kelly style? By the sounds of it we've got him until at least the end of next season and I'd be gobsmacked if he didn't sign a new deal.
Ricey Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 I knew Milan couldn't go through an entire interview witohut using the word 'dialogue'.
Corky Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 Not particularly concerned, this contract issue hasn't overshadowed the performances on the pitch and I'm sure Nigel wants to stay here for a while yet.

Liamlcfc1 Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 i was at the training ground i realy was as i collect autographs from the players Nigel pearson was very smart and had a suite on Steve Walsh drove him and Lee hoos to the walkers NP normally leaves in training gear so he maybe signing his new contract.
Ozwin Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 If Nigel doesn't sign the contract now MM's said that it could have a deprimental effect on the team. He's got to now really.
Daggers Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 So what's a rolling contract? It's a smashing bunch of papers that redouble their efforts in the filing cabinet.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 PEARSON OUT!!! Well someone's gonna post that in here eventually, so thought I might as well steal their thunder and humiliate any tiny-headed malcontent that might think of such idiocy!

Actually, that's the bit that worries me with Milan.

Tony Pine Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 i was at the training ground i realy was as i collect autographs from the players Nigel pearson was very smart and had a suite on Steve Walsh drove him and Lee hoos to the walkers NP normally leaves in training gear so he maybe signing his new contract. pearson is big. but a whole suite...that's impressive
Edmund Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 I heard Mandaric is only doing this for personal gain. Apparently NP's wife makes a smashing carrot cake.
wirralsimon Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 He's stalling on the contract - Lets have another 'Sack the Manger' poll for old times sake! Simon
lookwhaticando Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 It's a smashing bunch of papers that redouble their efforts in the filing cabinet. Ah, the good old days of redoubling.
jonthefox Posted 2 March 2010 Posted 2 March 2010 pearson . does his mrs really make carrot cake? more of a vienesse slice man meself.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 3 March 2010 Posted 3 March 2010 There was an article in the sun on this today. Said that MM expects NP to sign a contract in the next few days.
SMX11 Posted 3 March 2010 Posted 3 March 2010 I knew Milan couldn't go through an entire interview witohut using the word 'dialogue'. I allways rofl when he says 'dialogue' , he must think he lives in a play.
Edmund Posted 22 March 2010 Posted 22 March 2010 Nigel Pearson is ready to play hard ball with Milan Mandaric over a new deal at Leicester.The Foxes boss guided Mandaric a step closer to a certain play-off spot despite squandering Andy King’s two first-half goals. Mandaric is determined to be making long-term plans for his main man when he sits down with the former Saints boss’ representatives today. But Pearson will be looking for assurances of a hefty budget for next season, should he succeed in guiding Leicester to a second successive promotion through the Champ-ionship play-offs. After squandering two vital points, Pearson refused to shed any further light on his situation, saying: “There are a number of criteria that we are talking on. “My representatives will be holding talks and my contract will depend on how those talks go, but I think it is best the assurances I am seeking are kept in house. “I’m enjoying myself and it’s a club that has potential. It’s nice to feel there’s something to build on.†Unfortunately Leicester could not build on the two-goal lead King established in the opening 20 minutes. His first came as a result of James McPake’s failure to clear, but the second was fortunate to be awarded by referee’s assistant Simon Beck, after his header appeared not to cross the line. That was dubious as far as Chris Coleman could see, but there was nothing dubious about the half-time rollicking that transformed his side. “We were pants in the first half and I told the players that,†said the Coventry boss. “I was not very complimentary. “We did not have 11 players ready to work. They were not very happy with what I said and the performance in the second half was to spite me. “That doesn’t matter. I got what I wanted out of them!†McPake atoned for his earlier mistake with a great finish from close range and Gary Deegan forced the ball home three minutes from time after Clinton Morrison’s cross.
