The Doctor Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 Pearson being interviewed about the job is very interesting. He's clearly very frustrated about being asked about the job, but is refusing to make comments ruling himself out. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but that seems quite significant.
ajthefox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 Love Pearson. Seems like it's not just Stringer than annoys him in interviews. Amen to this. I love the bloke and I'm fed up of hearing all this stuff about boring Pearson this boring Pearson that. Reporters clearly just don't get that he won't budge.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 But I wanted Roy Keane......................

I don't want to get my hopes up but I can't help but agree...
HoustonFox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 I'm not passionately against him personally - I'm against people peddling illusions and I'm against cautious, unambitious football. I've been against it before Nigel Pearson ever saw the City managerial seat. And considering what's happened season in, season out I'd expect everyone to be against it but they're not. Fair enough. Who do you see as a team we should emulate in terms of style? QPR from last year? Norwich? I like The Canaries style myself and the way they are taking on the Premier League now is sentiment to that...
Simmo86 Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 Pearson still the same Think theres something in it though
Happy Fox Posted 5 November 2011 Author Posted 5 November 2011 No offense to Pearson but I will be so disappointed if we don't get MON having said that I am sure NP will do a good job should he become our manager.
Ozwin Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 If he wasn't interested he'd bloody we'll say he isnt. Doesn't take a genius to work out he's blatantly interested.
Thracian Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 It's the very same man who once infamously suggested that 'Pearson was God'. That was a public statement issued in the spirit of unity and with tongue very much in cheek. It reflected the optimism of the time but I called him about his lack of goals and away day ambition very early on and on many occasions both at that time and others -as I'm sure you well know given how sharp your selective memory seems to be.
EnderbyFox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 He definitely has an interest in the job, otherwise he would come out and say he was committed to Hull, as Clark did a few days back?
m00nie Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 No offense to Pearson but I will be so disappointed if we don't get MON having said that I am sure NP will do a good job should he become our manager. what you mean If we dont get MON... thought it was nailed on... all these other names just smoke screens
Leicfox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 If Pearson was to return Leicester City the club would be even more of a laughing stock for the way we ship managers in & out at free will. I't could also potentially mark Pearson's career as a manager too.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 Really hope he comes back. What a return it could be.
ousefox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 Really hope he comes back. What a return it could be. Agreed, definitely has unfinished business. Just hope the owners make it happen.
21st Century Fox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 I'm really not overly enthused by the idea of NP coming back, I went to enough away games whilst he was in charge to be bored to tears at some points. My main worry about NP is the same worry I had when he was here originally, if he gets us up then what? I don't think he's got that je ne sais quoi to be able to pull off a Stoke (not that it'd be ideal anyway) and we'd come crashing back down faster than Derby did during their hallowed season.

whitwickfox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 my god we will have the bring back fryatt and hobbs brigade back next..really look forward to yet another manager without a plan b and watching totally boring football

But the difference is this time he will be given more money to spend than when Mandy was in charge, hopefully get a better standard of player.
Nick Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 I feel a bit like this I'm really not overly enthused by the idea of NP coming back, I went to enough away games whilst he was in charge to be bored to tears at some points.

HoustonFox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 not sure how be more the laughing stock.. the club or NP.. if i was sacked/forced out my job and they came back to me a year or so later id be telling them to shove it... But who got rid of him? MM or Top and the boys? If my old work asked me to come back but with a massive pay rise, more freedom to recruit who I wanted and a bigger budget, I'd go back... Just think how often you get to go back and do what you wanted.
Thracian Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 Fair enough. Who do you see as a team we should emulate in terms of style? QPR from last year? Norwich? I like The Canaries style myself and the way they are taking on the Premier League now is sentiment to that... I'm not really one for emulating anyone, I'm more about setting our own standards. But I do like Nigel Adkins philosophy at Southampton. He is very positive, intent on scoring the goals that might give him victory both home and away and he seems to address the details we seem to miss. Like making sure his team takes imaginative, well-rehearsed free-kicks. Just look at the difference in the records of Hull and Southampton this season. Adkins team has scored three or more goals nine times in the Championship, ridiculing the myth that it is such a dificult League to play football in. What they have in abundance is conviction. Four more goals at Coventry today while we hardly dared venture over the halfway line even when we had a full side. I remember Pearson at Coventry when he was here. He was quite satisfied with 1-1 and never seriously attempted anything more. In other words he got what he deserved for his caution. One point instead of three. http://www.hullcityafc.net/page/Fixtures http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/FixturesResults
sphericalfox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 Anyone else feel like this will all end in a damp squid?
m00nie Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 can just picture all the thousands of people in thailand.. "and to replace leicester city bos sven is the one and only nigel fkin pearson.." . WHO
ARM1968 Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 So O'Neill hasn't said he's not interested either? Have we had official confirmation from Hull about an approach? And more money will not make Pearson's team more interesting. Money or not his teams are boring grinders. Nick a goal here, sit back there. Nothing to inspire or stir the blood.
21st Century Fox Posted 5 November 2011 Posted 5 November 2011 But the difference is this time he will be given more money to spend than when Mandy was in charge, hopefully get a better standard of player. I hope he knows what to do with it. He's bought all our deadwood for Hull.
