Who actually wants Pearson?

[accessory]

Sir Alex Ferguson has overseen a 6-1 hiding this season, and Arsene Wenger an 8-2, what's your point? Choosing one game to make a 'point' is pretty absurd.

How many hundreds of games have those two managers won in the top flight. Hundreds more than Pearson, that's for sure. The next one he wins will be his first.

Pearson's record when he was with us was pretty impressive, you cannot argue that he knows how to get results at this level. At this moment in time I'd much rather see us steadily picking up points that playing 'attractive football' and languishing in mid-table as we are currently. As others have said, it is a myth that football under Pearson was negative, sometimes you have no choice but to grind out results, particularly in this league. Our football so far this season hasn't even been easy on the eye, more often than not it has been 'dour, turgid, mind-numbing dross', and to make it worse, we haven't been getting results.

The same things will happen as under Sven. Pearson will protect and indulge his chosen men, including those who have consistently under-performed since he left.

In my opinion, Pearson will provide us with the thing we are craving most at the minute, which is consistency.

There's nothing in either his record or ours since he left to support that view.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

I think any so called fan that is dismissing the return of NP is a total cretin and forgets anything positive that has happened before the current farce started.

BEST WIN RATIO - A better squad than he had when he was here last, he will bring commitment and settle everything down.

This defence will be so solid under NP guidance, I think some players have just lost a little belief after all the pre season hype (which was far too much!) and I think it would be a very good appointment, after all we were better with him than without him and he never wanted to go - rightly so that twat Hoos left instead.

MOST FANS THAT ****ING CRIED WHEN HE LEFT ARE PROBABLY NOW THE ONES WHO WILL CRY WHEN HE COMES BACK BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE GOING TO ALEX FERGUSSON OR JOSE MORINHO (IDIOTS THE LOT OF YOU)

I HATE THE VAST AMOUNT OF IDIOTIC, FIKKLE, MORONIC TWATS THAT SADLY SUPPORT THE SAME CLUB AS ME.

Prove them wrong Nige, dick heads!

Illogical, badly phrased, Mumbo-Jumbo, with no facts, and an imagination that is running riot. I take it, that you are a bit dense, spouting drivel such as this.

PATHETIC post, and poster. Climb back in your cot now, and go bye-byes.

[who-izzet]

The way I see it, Pearson should have never gone. I don't have a crystal ball and I have no idea what will happen if he comes back but I feel we SHOULD be in good hands of a decent manager.

When Pearson made the playoffs we had the likes of Newcastle, WBA, N.Forest, Cardiff finish above us and so they should have on paper. I think it was a great achievement for Pearson to get us where he did and he's not only stabilized Hull City after reducing their huge wage bill but brought in some talented youngsters and put them in the promotion race. I wasn't bored watching Leicester play under Pearson but more than not I have been since under Sven and Sousa. It's been horrible watching lack lustre, laboured passing football under the last 2 managers and I'm all for guts, determination and direct football which I think is what this football club has always been about when sucessful.

I'm all for Pearson... He's number 2 on my list behind the GREAT MON. I just hope there is some truth as sky sports are suggesting because I would have thought there was more chance of MON coming back to be honest.

As a Hull City fan, i'm now resigned to the fact Pearson is on his way back to Leicester. Big Nige has not said anything to suggest he's not interested and the bottom line is that if he wants to go to Leicester, he's going to go regardless of our attempts to stop him. Who could blame him really, you're rumoured to be offering his a large transfer budget and a double your salary contract.

If he does go to you he will be sorely missed by 99% of the Hull City faithful, for which i am one of. The other 1 % who have doubted him and his style of football over the past season and a half are in for a shock if we end up with a clown like McClaren in charge! Personally i would like to see Nicky Barmby or Billy Davies at the helm however our Chairman sacked Davies at Derby so it would suggest that this is unlikely.

We have a really nucleus of young players at Hull City and it wouldn't surprise me if Pearson goes back to lure Cameron Stewart, James Chester, Corry Evans and maybe Robert Koren to Leicester in the January Transfer window. No doubt he will see Waghorn in his plans too so any attempt to extend the loan or make this permanent will be stopped too. I take it you don't want either Fryatt or Hobbs back then?

There you go accesssory, they don't want to lose him at all.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

I was gutted when he left and will be made up if he returns. Best manager in last few years by a mile.

[Wycombe Fox]

So why are their fans not pleading and begging for him to stay there?

They don't want him to leave. I just had a look at four separate Hull City fan forums and there's not a single poster wanting NP to leave them.

[Burmesefox]

I think Pearson will sign today. Sounds like it from the radio.

[hackneyfox]

There you go accesssory, they don't want to lose him at all.

So do you want him today or not?

It seemed yesterday that you kepy changing your mind every 2 hours or so.

Not having a go, I just think you show how confused we all are.

[Tiger Rico]

We certainly don't want to lose him, but I think the writing's on the wall now. I'm just waiting for our Chairman to release an official statement regarding the whole affair and at least it gives us the best part of 2 weeks to get a new manager in and get things sorted.

We have a few fans that moan about his supposed dull attitude in press conferences, which is a refreshing change compared to the Phil Brown show'. Any real fan will tell that an ex defender he has built his team from the back with young players with bags of potential who are only going to get better and he can come across as boring as he likes in press conferences, as long as the results on the pitch do the talking

The budget he has work with, he has done wonders in my opinion and he has a real eye for potential stars. I cannot believe we got Liam Rosenior and Robert Koren for nothing, Chester for 300k, Cameron Stewart for 300k, Corry Evans for 500k. Just imagine what he could do with a decent budget!

The only thing I ask is that you take Dele Adebola as part of the deal!!

[ReyAzarola]

I've been reading a lot of opinion on here and I must say i'm surprised at some of the anti-Pearson sentiments posted. Most of it seems like impatient drivel without any thought regarding the circumstances NP has been used to working under.

First of all I think NP is a very smart guy. He understands first and foremost that as a manager he will be judged on results. Now with Leicester and other clubs he has had a limited structure and budget to work with. The folks on here giving him shit about playing boring football don't seem to be accepting the reality of such a situation. Trying to use resources like that and get a team playing flowing, attractive football is a massive risk and one that could see the team turn in poor results, ultimately costing the manager his job. So, he has chosen to bulid solid hard to beat teams.

In League one when we were up against obvious inferior quality it was a different story and we scored a lot of goals and were capable of entertaining football. Even at times in the championship under pearson we played some good stuff but I got the feeling this was more to do with the confidence and spirit of the players which came about from.... good results.

IF IF IF..... Pearson does come back I have no doubt the first thing he will do is make us a solid, hard to beat team and go from there. He is a team builder and I don't think he will be going in the market for Hobbs and Fryatt as some seem to be suggesting because he does not have to, we have better players already at the club and he will have the money to spend to go and buy superior quality players. In turn the quality of our squad should begin to shine through. I'm confident that he can BUILD a more attractive Leicester team with the resources he would have at his disposal.

Also, I went to the Leicester Legends night at The Curve and from what I understand from Taggart and The Birch, his departure had more to do with Hoos who has now ****ed off than it did from our current owners, so NP may well be up for a return now that Hoos is out.

He may not be high profile but really, why appoint a manager on that basis? It does not guarentee results and is no long term solution. Ultimately the results will build the clubs profile. If NP were to lead us to the premier and then stabilise us in that league, then just watch his stock rise as a result.

If we had not of let him slip through our fingers first time around I think we would already be promoted but of course that's all speculation now.

My one concern is that we will be playing Steve Howard too much of the time. To me, he is a "Plan B" player and to be fair to Pearson I remember listening to an after match interview with NP after a game where Howard came on and scored at the walkers. He said something along the lines of it being a problem when Howard plays because we tend to become more one dimensional. Hardly glowing praise for someone who has just rescued a point for the team! To me it was more evidence of Pearson's tactics being about playing within our limits and doing what we have to to get a result, even if that means "Plan B".

I think NP is a fantastic manager and as for his demeanour and after match interviews, great, he keeps people's feet on the ground and focused on the job ahead. Exactly what you need when potentialy playing 50+ games a season. I hope he comes back and I hope everyone gets behind him if he does. I'm sure he'll get us on the right track getting results and in time, playing some good football.

I also hope that a lot of the posters on here strive to improve their analytical skills but i'm not holding my breath.

COME BACK NIGE, UP THE CITY!

[Wycombe Fox]

Must have been good to get this off his chest!

I've always hated Leicester. I hate the way that they've treated good managers just because they weren't whoever their previous manager was. I hate the way they exploited the administration rulings to their benefit, which now means that teams who find themselves in genuine financial strife now have to start seasons with points deductions that make their seasons as good as over by mid-August. I hate Gary Lineker. I hate the way they think they're a big club when they are merely the third-biggest club in the football hotbed that is the East Midlands. I hate their new ground and the contempt they show their for visiting fans. But I can't hate them for this. They are trying to get the best manager possible for their club. And they are seemingly going to do just that.

[Wycombe Fox]

What ReyAzarola said

[James.]

Absolutely brilliant news if Pearson returns.

Took an absolute shambles of a club and on limited resources got us to within touching distance of back to back promotions.

Gave us one of the most enjoyable seasons of recent years with the League One campaign and most importantly restored pride to the football club after years of terminal decline.

Sick of reading about how bad his football was. I enjoyed watching Leicester play - we were a TEAM, we were effective, we were committed and at times we played good football. The players were super fit, he used his contacts with Premiership clubs to secure excellent loan signings and his understated manner made us a dignified team, an undervalued quality in today's game.

I find it incredibly retarded to overlook his achievements here or to think we somehow deserve better. He gave us our best times since MON by a fucking mile.

[Moreton]

i'd love pearson to come back. thinking about it now, it feels right. feels like he's coming home. very happy if he does.

[soulsister]

Very happy to see Pearson return....

Im my opinion one of the best managers we've had had over the recent years..

Take his abrupt mannor aside, (he got the job done) and thats what matters..

Mandarics back stabbing to get De-Sewer in was disgraceful at the time, and he

would not of left unless pushed.....

It may not of been pretty at times under Pearson, but its points that count, I'd rather

be sat smiling with a win at the weekend under our belts, than thinking ''oh we've played some

very nice passing football today and had bugger all shots on target, and lost.... Again !!!! ''

Its a league where you need to fight for every point, and I think Pearson is most

definately the man to get this Fight back into the team...

[James.]

I'd also add that I love the fact that (assuming what we read is right) he WANTS to come back. This isn't some journeyman manager looking for a fat pay cheque, it's an up and coming young manager with unfinished business.

Shit felt right under Pearson and it's felt wrong ever since he left.

[lcfc jack lcfc]

me

[Raj]

Considering some of the names branded about, cant understand why people wouldnt want NP?

He's our 2nd most succesful manager and only left cos him and Hoos didnt get on.

Also people hammering our new owners should get a grip on reality.

If they hadnt have come here we'd have just been the same as any old shitty boring club in the CChip.

Atleast these guys have spent some money and given us half a chance of some mediocre success.

Well i suppose people are still waiting for REAL leicester people to invest like Shawwaywaddy,Kasabian and the bloke from Corro!!!

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.

I will be very pleased in the return of NP. He should never have been allowed to leave.

People say about his team being negative but his football style wasn't overly different to MONS. Direct but then plays football in the right areas.

We scored getting on for 2 goals a game in the league 1 season so I'm sure with added resources he could do the same in the championship.

[James.]

Fair play. I stand by what I said though.

[Bryn]

He brought two happy years to the club, stable, progressive years. He should never have been coerced into leaving, he should have been given the long haul, we should have accepted how difficult it is to get out of this league.
