Nigel Pearson

[Kitchandro]

thats not my ONLY reason, thats one reason i have gone off the man... am i not allowed to have an opinion of someone~??

do you think all those that was going to demonstrate if keane came are not loyal ? or those that complained about clark not having championship experience..

Here is you original post:

people dont care about that.... he got us out of league 1.. thats all that matters..

dont matter he kicked up a fuss and has claimed to be this loyal man.. dont matter hes proving hes full of shit...

league 1 winners

Insinuating that his achievements as a manager are outweighed by his personality traits. You didn't cite other reasons for not wanting him, there was a strong suggestion that his leaving of Hull is a major reason for not having him.

I disagree with those that would have boycotted if Keane came, yes.

My point is I find it odd that you are considering what he does to Hull as significant, and you also claim that he's professed to be a massively loyal guy who loves Hull. He's a man doing a job to the best of his ability and I've never thought him anything else. He is professional and he has been professional in this saga. But he has to do things for himself. Hull is not his boyhood team, why should he have any lotaltes to them?

[Bayfox]

I'm fairly prosperous about the return of np, I didn't think he ever should have left however

Don't forget this was the team that he got to top 6:

Weale

Neilson

Hobbs

Brown/Morrison

Berner

Dyer

Oakley/king/spearing

Wellens

Gallagher

Fryatt/waghorn

Howard

Compare that starting 11 to the one we have at the moment. If nige can get our starting 11 playing as a unit they will be unstoppable. He will need to add a couple of wide players to play a 4-4-2 and perhaps may want a big man up front. The two players I'm worried about are schlupp and bamba. Schlupp will probe get sold for £300k and bamba is not what u call a normal defender, he may favour tunchev or st ledger. And we all know how scarily good bamba is atm. So may get sold for peanuts in jan. However I'm optimistic.

Said the same thing on the way out the ground yesterday.

As for his starting line up, would be interesting to see if weale got a look in should he come back and I really don't see that matt mills is 5 times the player hobbs was, would he go to buy him back?? Will waghorn return from his loan and dyer start most games, that said beckford playing well should be a huge improvement on fryatt.

He'll get the most out of what he's got. I could see Dyer having more of an impact on the first team than he has of late, but I can't see a mad swoop for Hobbs or a real desperation to get Waggy back in the team - despite what many on here would think. And Weale isn't even half the keeper Kasper is!

I was just posing some questions, as for making the best of what he has, I don't see that, I think he must be coming back for the nice wage and the transfer kitty.

that was one post of many, as you know we have the discussion on 2 threads for starters.. ive not said he loves hull, ive said hes meant to be this loyal man, people always try and say hes one of a few, committed, loyal, yet this has not been the case here. he is up and jumping ship, theres a quote in the paper saying hes said the offer is too good to turn down (now considering hes only meant to be having talks today who knows how much substance is in that or if theres already been feelers out)

[BoneDog]

I like Pearson. You know why?

THE AIR HEADER!!

I sometimes was a bit bored of the football we played and got a bit miffed with a few of his decisions, but that happens with most managers. Overall, he got results, which is the main goal. And he totally bossed League One which was an excellent season for us fans. There were a couple of other names I'd have been delighted with but thinking about it I'll be happy to see Nige get another shot with us. He's a decent manager and bloke.

[flowwolf]

What the avatar that I used the last time I posted on here (2 years ago) after Pearson left? Because as a fan I was actually quite hurt and angry that he left without knowing the reasons behind it.

Your posts pretty much sum you up, it makes me sad that we have 'fans' like you.

Ah you mean the avatar you have now made to magically disappear ? As sad fans go it does not get much sadder than having a avatar of a dog shitting on Hulls badge. Act your age not your shoe size. :giggle:

[blueblood]

Anybody who is 'dreading' Pearson coming back hasn't got a ****ing scooby doo. He literally made only 2 real errors at his time here;

1. Selling Max Gradel, and for next to nothing at that

2. Wrong Team Selection / Tactics for the 1st Leg of the Play-Off Semi v Cardiff

Otherwise he was brilliant. Okay so he's not the most entertaining when being interviewed. Well, on the opposite hand Ian Holloway was, and he ****ed up more than any other manager in our history and will have to live with that fact, and take it to the grave with him.

So he doesn't play the most attacking or attractive brand of football... GET REAL YOU IDIOTS, WE'RE LEICESTER CITY, NOT ARSENAL / MAN U / BARCA / MAN CITY!! I accept that teams such as West Brom under DiMatteo played excellent football and got promoted, but you ask any Baggies fan about Megson, and they speak highly of him... cos he got 2 promotions with them, and that really was dire football.

Another example of people getting too big for their boots and having unrealistic expectations- Roman Abramovich. Under The Special One, they won everything under the Sun, bar the Champions League, which they would have done had Jose been there for the Final against united in Rome, and if not then the following season. He went on to win it with Inter, and he'll get Real Madrid to the semi's at least this season. Yet since they sacked him they haven't really won anything apart from an FA Cup. And the reason he was sacked- cos Roman wanted 'attractive/sexy' football. He got that to a degree with Scolari, Ancelotti and Villas-Boas. But they won / will not win **** all. Chelsea fans would love to have Jose's 'boring football' back.

You stupid, stupid fans, banging on about Pearson's 'boring football'- seriously, shut up. You're entitled to an opinion, but you're chatting a load of nonsense. Winning Football is all I care about at the minute, and when my team wins, thats' entertainment to me. Winning enough games to get us promoted. Then we can hopefully get settled in the Prem, the Thai boys back us a bit more, and then maybe we can thing about attractive, and winning football.

Do you think established Prem teams like Villa, Everton, Stoke, Sunderland, Blackburn play great football week in, week out- no they don't. As long as they're winning, their fans couldn't give a sh*t. Even under Martin O'Neill, the press use to hammer us for playing effective football, which worked for us, but wasn't pretty on the eye- WHO CARES!? If we get 4 top 10 consecutive seasons, with cup runs and Europe under Pearson, playing his particular brand of football, will you still complain then!?!?!?!

Sometimes there's no making people happy. I say shut up, see what happens, and if he is appointed, then support him, cos we'll be in with a shout of going up if tweaks things correctly. But don't mock him for what he did here, he got us promoted from the nether regions at the first time of asking, and we had great fun along the way, and he got us to within a sensible penatly kick off a play-off final, which we all agree we would have won against Blackpool, a team we did the double over that season.

And for those of you with short memories, under NP in the Championship, we had entertaining victories/matches against QPR- home and away (1-2 on Sky & 4-0), Forest home, 3-0, Watford 4-1, Middlesboro 2-0, Blackpool home & away, Sheff Weds 3-0, 0-0 against run away leaders Newcastle, with 10 men, when we deserved to win, we beat swansea in the league and cup at home, another double over Palace, the 3-3 against Watford (which I accept we should have won), and the list goes on...

Good day.

zzzzzzzzzzzz stopped reading when i got there.... shame as must have took few minutes of your perfect life to write it all...

[Webbo]

The only thing that worries me is, are the players we have now Pearson's type of player?I seriously wonder if Bamba will get a game under Pearson and Beckford could be another DJ Campbell.

Edit; I'd be glad if Pearson comes back.

[foxes2011]

Hey Guys,

Obviously been keeping a close eye on the issue of Nigel Pearson, staying or going for the last few days. Looks like he is on his way now. From what i have seen he would be a good manager at any club in the division. As soon as he came here he got the defence sorted and built a solid and reliable back five. Granted at the moment we dont score more goals, but i would take 1-0 every week( Generally 1 goal is the most we can hope for at the minute). He has a way about his football, generally at home we play entertaining football and create a lot of chances but away from home contain and frustrate the opposition and try and nick a goal on the break.

Since he has been he, unlike other managers that have been and gone he has a good eye for good young signings. Chester, Brady, Stewart and Evans have been excellent for us and will continue to improve. He seems to bring players in to build a team, unlike Sven who has brought very talented players but seemed unable to get them to play consistantly as a solid team unit. On the issue of players that Pearson managed before and brought with him, Hobbs started slowy, but now looks like a excellent defender and leader. Fryatt, who a lot on here seem to think has had his best days has done OK for us. Gets in a lot of brilliant positions but just seems to have lost that killer instinct. Still a 1 in 3 goals to game record, so even with the missed oppotunitys a good record and i think once he starts scoring he wont stop.

I expect NP to be Leicester manager by the end of the week. I would have loved him to stay as he was building a young and very talented side, who maybe not this season but definatley next would have been a good shout for promotion. I think now a new manager coming in to Hull will want to build his own side and i wouldnt be suprised if Pearson bidded for several of our players in January (Rosenior, Chester and Stewart being the main targets) leaving us back at square one again.

At the end of the day i dont think Pearson would have gone back for a slight increase on his wage so the package he is being offered must be very inviting. Like all things in the football world, money talks and loyatly is second.

Good luck for the rest of the season and if we could have 6 points for your boys that would be excellent.

Stuart (Unhappy Tiger).

to the hull fan who rote this is was a very nice article and wasnt full of you blasting our club which is unusual, i just wanted to know if Pearson leaves who would you guys want in im interested because we are not all selfish twats who think about our club hull are a good little club and id hate to think this is going to have a negative impact on them if he leaves, who would you want as manager though if he dos come>>>?

I also loved the 'old man shaking fist at pesky kids' celebration that he did when it went in

Any road up .......ermmm.......thanks for that !!!

[Corky]

Exactly what we need, a manager who heads the air in anticipation.

[Magictv]

[jimmer]

[Number 6]

My only concern is that his managerial career has involved steadying sinking ships which he has successfully done numerous times. I'm not sure we're in that place right now. However, NP has never been in this situation before so we will see what he does with the money we have. We destroyed teams in L1 and the owners are after a similar season in this league. No reason why NP isn't capable of that, I just hope we don't revert to type.

I can see you as a loyal and fair minded fan Stuart, Didn't want to NP go in the 1st place mate! If NP does come here i hope that you get a half decent replacement . Best of luck [hopeful fox]

Oh yeah like we should have been proud to get out of the old third division ? Christ on a bike what you like !

Sorry, are people not allowed to celebrate anything lower than championship?

[iancognito]

Now I am getting very worried. The very thought of him returning makes me feel :sick: :sick:

Perhaps you'd prefer Roy Keane? No? Avram Grant? No? There are far worse candidates than Pearson, a manager who never got us relegated and never had anything less than success when he was here. I don't care if we only score a goal a game, go more defensive or whatever. I can't wait to ditch this win one/lose one/play well/play bad crap that we've endured for the last 10 months.

Straight forward 4-4-2, no nonsense. There is no-one to fear in this league, there's no squad better than this, we just need a man in charge who can get the players believing it and playing to a consistent level every week and not looking ready for the knackers yard after 70 minutes.

Anyone objecting to Pearson's return has obviously never seen us when things were REALLY bad or were probably the same people who booed Brian Little for only getting us to the play offs 3 years running or O'Neill after 12 games.

Get behind NP, get behind the squad. C'MON CITY!

[m00nie]

so because someone dont agree there probally boo boys,, get real...

[wellyfox]

FFS two threads one has him walking out one has him sacked and he ain't here yet :crylaugh:

[Nick]

Christ on a pig, I agree with this totally. 

Thanks, but I wouldn't be too concerned.

I've acknowledged many times that Pearson's a good manager in a functional way and considering some of the names linked with the club I'm quite relieved it's him because it could have been much worse.

It's just that the 1-0's mentioned won't be a jest, they'll be reality and away teams might add to their income if they offer a competitive price on sleeping bags.

I don't think Pearson will doubt he can improve our present situation - we really are a mess. But I'm sceptical as to whether he'll ever embrace the notion of entertaining our fans by going for goals.

The question for me is not whether our results will improve but whether I'll want to watch how it's done. Especially in away games. But I wish him success.
