In-depth interview with Nigel Pearson, published during his first spell in charge with LCFC.

Really informative; talks about his time as a player for Middlesbrough and his coaching career to the point he joined City.

Has Beagrie ever been so positive about us? :o

Finally the deal is done and Nigel Pearson is back at Leicester City.

The club's new hierarchy understand he is respected by fans, players and board members alike and but for a clash of personalities with a previous chief executive he may never have left for Hull. Well, now he has the chance to finish what he started.

Pearson: back in Foxes hotseat

In his first spell he took them from their lowest point in League One to the heights of the Championship play-offs. Since then he's literally been to Hull and back (a little bit like Del Boy and Rodney...) and after a couple of seasons away they will want him to continue as before.

He had them on the brink of the Premier League, missing out on the Play-Off Final on penalties, and that is where the board sees the club. They've always had the fanbase and the stadium you would expect of a top-flight team, but unlike in Pearson's previous spell, they now have the funding to match.

The club have put together a huge package for him and have made a big financial commitment, which shows their faith in him and sends a clear message to the fans.

I also think he is ready in himself to move up to the next level and he will see this as a big opportunity. The club have put together a huge package for him and have made a big financial commitment, which shows their faith in him and sends a clear message to the fans.

They're not exactly admitting that they made a mistake with Sven-Goran Eriksson and his signings from all over Europe, but they have now opted for a more grounded approach. Pearson has people like Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh in his backroom staff who have knowledge and experience of all the divisions and also have links to the club.

There's still plenty of the season left and they will have the loan system and another transfer window in order to add to the talented squad that he has at his disposal. In many ways, this is every manager's dream job.

Other that Gelson, I can't think of any players he sign from europe. (correct me if i'm wrong)

Are we talking Reading, Manchester, Hudderfield and Liverpool?

He knew the "unfinished business" question was going to come up.

Did you get that from where he said "I knew someone would ask that" :P

To save me watching it all as I leave for work in 15, where do I skip to for "Hello Ian" ? :)

Need a little chuckle before I take the slow, long stroll into hell.

It's right near the start, probably about 2 minutes in :thumbup:

I've seen it about 4 times now, still makes me laugh every time. :giggle:

So, just to get this straight - all the positive attributes Susan Ahm Whelan is dishing out in the direction of Ahm Nigel Pearson were the ones that Ahm Sven was lacking?

What's with your profile pic Webbo? When did Pearson start wearing a kippah?

I thought someone would notice that :blush: . I took it from the video and there was a bit of border at the top.

Cheers for posting Clive.

It seems that the board and Pearson are united in the concept of "forward thinking" however to ignore the past mistakes that the club have made I think could be detrimental to the rest of the season.

Just look at this time last year for instance which is extremely similar to the situation we are in now. A new manager coming into a squad that they didn't put together and having the goal of promotion by the end of the season.

I think what the board need to realise that in one of the toughest leagues in football to achieve promotion the key to success is time and by ignoring their previous mistakes it could be a case of history repeating itself.

Here's a little something I've been meaning to do for a little while:

Consecutive 'um and ahs' from the press conference, plus a little snippet of something else. None have been repeated.

Which ones your favourite?
