@Now_Football no chance tomorrow. I'd say Wednesday earliest.

I am slightly bemused in that we now seem to have an increasing number of supporters that believe that City have the luxury of picking from the cream of managerial talent. We don't. Hard as it is to admit we are something of a nothing club to the majority of individuals who don't frequent the KP Stadium.

MON was a wonderful pipe dream but do we reallly believe that one of the most strategically thinking managers when mapping out his future career path saw a return to Leicester as part of his master plan. Of course he didn't. Similarly talk of Mark Hughes dropping down to the Champs on the off chance that this collection of distinctly average individuals would suddenly click into a coherent promotion chasing team is much too much of a risk for him to take. Things don't work out here and you have effectively put your career back 2-3 years.

The so called 'big name' manager appointment was never going to happen and before anyone responds with "well Sven took the job" we need to remind ourselves that he is renowned for just following the money wherever that may lead him. Frankly, and considering how well that one worked out, is this a route that we should really be looking to follow again?

On this basis should NP decide to return then I think we should be delighted. We could do a hell of a lot worse.

Oh and as a final aside should NP come in and by some miracle get us into the 'promised land' then maybe this perception that many have re the status of our football club could in time become a reality. However until then please try and maintain a sense of perspective.

Nigel Pearson wants to go back to Leicester City as manager – but faces a compensation battle with Hull.

Pearson is the Foxes choice to replace Sven Goran Eriksson and the respected Tigers boss is keen to return to the club he led to the play-offs in his last spell.

Mirror Sport revealed last Monday that Pearson was firmly in the frame for the job and he is now the leading candidate.

However, wealthy Leicester will have to pay around £350,000 in compensation to land Pearson, as Hull will have to find a successor quickly.

Pearson may resign to speed up the process, aware that Leicester have other options if there are snags with the move.

Pearson would be given a big contract – with a huge promotion bonus – if Leicester can pull off the coup.

He has said that he will make the decision for the good of his family, and the terms available are too good to refuse.

Pretty much nailed on now I would have thought welcome home NP

The same mirror that said Lee Clark was going to be announced as our manager last week and said Matt Derbyshire had signed? Yep, nailed on then.

so these "loyalties" he claims he has, and kicked up a big fuss about being forced out etc was all bullshit..

[themotivator]

in honour of his extremely definite return...

im going to get a new haircut.

[Larry_LCFC]

Im almost 100% sure this will happen. I can just feel it. That mirror article just makes it even more concrete in my mind. By crystal palace, NP will be manager.

[MPH]

I think we have a much better squad than we had last time he was manager and so his organisational and motivational skills really could get the best out of this team....

Also, expect a couple of young wingers from top Prem teams to head our way....

But wouldnt you also be gutted if you were Hobbs or Fryatt. . They basically signed for Hull because of Pearson.

No way back for Hobbs... we have plenty of CB's right now and i dont imagine them sanctioning a move for Fryatt... Not that i think he would want to come back....

Would I of wanted MON? absolutely... Hughes? would of been delighted.

But considering SOME of the other names being mentioned i would be over the moon to have Pearson back....

[accessory]

Nugent and Beckford are light years ahead of Fryatt.

With Howard, Schlupp and presumably Waghorn also in the squad, lack of firepower is not the issue. There would be no sense in bringing Fryatt back.

The midfield is the weak link and any new manager will have to wheel and deal a lot in that area.

[flowwolf]

If this is true My estimation of Pearson has gone right down the pan. What loyalty is he showing Hull who gave him a job when with our present owners connivance he was forced out here.

So what have Hull done to deserve his ingratitude ? They backed him all the way and gave him the money to buy the players he wanted and up till now they are doing a damn sight better than us.

If he shits on them and their supporters I honestly hope he gets bit by the same snakes that bit him the first time he was here.

[lcfcbaby]

That's true but on the other hand it shows that his heart lies at Leicester.. Possibly!

Its their supporters he has a problem with. some of them have been down right nasty about him since day 1. take a look at their message boards... some not nice comments...

We don't know what his relationship is with Hull's board.

For all we know, it may be as bad, or even worse, than what he had with Mandaric.

Also bear in mind that Hull have had a change of owner since he moved there.

Let's face it, we weren't always that complimentary about him at times.

But Pearson's never been the type to unduly worry about what anyone on a message board may think of him.

[ajthefox]

Refuse to believe this will happen.

The source is hardly credible and says literally nothing factual that wasn't already well stated. Not to mention I don't believe NP would ask to leave.

It would actually worry me a little if he did, it wouldn't exactly paint a picture of a man with much loyalty, which is the image that I seem to be getting from all this.

But having said that, I don't think he ever really wanted to go to Hull, he wanted to stay but out of principle left despite never really wanting, as such, to go to Hull.

Either way, I would still welcome him home with open arms.

I dont think they have been that complimentary to him in general. You just had to see his response in the interview he had when told that the fans wouldnt want him to go to know of what he thinks of them.

Some managers are more sensitive to the fans opinions of them than others... i know for example that MON mentioned the response after the sheff UTD game on many occasions....

That really struck me earlier.

From what he said he almost seemed genuinely shocked that the general consensus was that the fans wanted him to stay. Odd to say the least...

People seem to forget that MON resigned from being manager of Norwich so he could take the Leicester Job.... which was about to be offered to another ex Norwich manager.. forgot his name Mike something i think... everything was agreed with him only for us to pull out of the deal...

So, really, im not sure as a club we are in a position to expect a manager to be Loyal. How Loyal are we as a club? Even less loyal as fans... we will love a player one minute... one bad game then suddenly he is enemy no. 1.

Since when did your loyalties lie with Hull? FFS. If he takes us up I couldn't care less what he does to a bunch of pikeys who stink of fish.

Your post made perfect sense, then you said fans aren't loyal Fans are almost always the only ones who are loyal, the real ones anyway. And how is not liking a player showing a lack of loyalty?

ok i think you misunderstood me there... I am not talking about our loyalty to the club... we are all and will always be Leicester till we die... im talking about our loyalty to the players... we have none. we love players one minute hate them the next....

[Chrysalis]

Pearson will probably resign this week, I am surprised he wants to come back tho.

O'Neill quit because of their board. He didn't quit for our job, he just became available at the right time.

[whitlock]

Maybe NP is attached to Leicester, he never wanted to leave, probably never wanted to go to hull but it was a job available at the time. I wouldn't question his loyalties, come home NP.

[Babylon]

Well he didn't seem particularly thrilled to be there when he arrived, so you probably aren't far off the mark.
