Can't see him wanting to leave personally.

 

The only clubs I could see him considering more than most are the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough because of his time as a player. However, I don't see him as the type of manager that would quickly jump the gun without completing the job here first (like Megson did).

Also your 'could have gone either way' argument is absolute hogwash. In fact it's less than hogwash. Any football match can 'go either way', the fact is they didn't. If you can use that then you could equally suggest that any and every match that we lost 'could have gone either way'. Plus we only lost by more than one goal once in the regular season! So if it wasn't actually total bollocks, surely you'd be better off arguing that the matches we didn't get points from 'could have gone either way'?

can't really be bothered to argue with you mate, you're entitled to your opinion so fair play.

I think the points I raised are valid and I think most people on here would have been mostly impressed with the jobs done by Freedman and McCarthy and would recognize that Harry is still thought of as one of the best in the game.

Time will tell

...even though he has already done it once, if you remember he wasn't sacked, he left us after a play-off semifinal defeat and a missed French penalty.

Deja-vu...

I'm with you, I have concerns myself about Pearson as I've stated more than once since the start of Feb. He's scraped into the minimum I expected by the skin of his teeth.

 

There are positives and negatives surrounding him staying or going.

You can if you say 16 games is half a season, when in fact it's a third.

 

Ok Ok but in that third of a season ie sixteen games we only need another ten points out of it to go up automatic due to our points tally before the slump. It was a bloody awful slump with awful football ( hoofball ) being played and it cost us promotion. My point is what is going to change next season if he got it so badly wrong in the last THIRD of the season ?

Sakes.

If Col was new to this forum he'd have had thread starting rights taken off him by now.

Get in it, Babs.

 

Or just a lifetime ban!

I think its safe to say any person managing us would be barmy to leave of their own accord

 

 

Erm. Why would they be barmy to leave for another club?

You thought wrong. Surely you can accept the 'could have gone either way' thing was bullplop? And nobody's denying that Freedman and McCarthy have done impressive jobs, but that wasn't your point. Your point was that Pearson will struggle next season because he is incapable of outsmarting a given list of managers, which I merely pointed out was total rubbish.

Did we not pose the same questions after little impact was made in his first part season? But after a summer we ended up playing well for a large chunk of the season and were sat second a week or two into Feb. Something people didn't predict happening.

 

He made a positive impact last post season, so there is no reason the same can't happen again. Young players a year older and wiser, some weak areas strengthened. Players like James (massive player for us IMO) and SSL potentially staying fit for longer.

 

I don't know what I'd do being the owners, it's a touch choice as there are some negatives surrounding him also. If they are in it for the long term as they say, then I would probably fall on the side of seeing how we get on the start of next season.

Pretty fit. Half of our 1st team seem to think she's got something about her anyway.

Christ! There have been so many Pearson in/out threads and so many different views!

It's doing mi head in....

How about this? With the managerial merry-go-round that usually happens in the summer eg. Will Brighton keep Poyet? Who's gonna go to Everton? Will Wigan retain their manager? Etc etc I ask you this question:

Do you think that Pearson will WANT to stay at City? Do you think any other clubs will come in for him? He's pretty much respected amongst other managers and clubs I believe?

Rather than should we get rid or keep Pearson, what about asking the question of will he want to stay?

Just thought I'd throw it out there...

You never know hey Col, we can always cling on to the hope that someone head hunts Pearson lol

I don't think it is rubbish, I stand by that comment.
Pearson has struggled badly to come up with an answer in many games that we could and should have got something out of.
Piss poor substitutions at vital times and and a bizarre attitude to the local media to answer fair questions regarding form and tactics - all of us in the car were gobsmacked in the post match Leeds interview which changed a everyones perception of him.
I totally appreciate the job hes done - hes got FFP, the remains of SGE's carnage, an ever expectant board and set of fans and a very competitive
League to deal with.
I'm just about with him still but I feel a poor or average start next year and people will be on his back.

What's rubbish is saying McCarthy's responsible for player performance's a couple of weeks into a job - now that is complete tosh!

So then you have to credit him equally with the games in which we could, should and did get something.

No it isn't. What happened to the 'New Manager Effect'? If, as a manager, you are not completely culpable for player performances a couple of weeks in, then you can never be completely culpable for player performances.

oh yes I will give him credit when he does well - he's on quite a few quid a year to get things right though.

The new manager effect? Sometimes it pays off straight away sometimes it doesn't but I doubt you truely believe that.

Harry - the worst manager in QPR history? Statistically you could be right - but really??

Best manager in a decade.

 

We failed in getting promotion twice, due to penalties only (those situations where it is only up to the player, taking the opportunity to score, to handle the pressure and score - which is therefore a 50/50 chance of getting it past the keeper).

 

Most of us understand (even Dangerous Tiger will in-fact, he's just saying Pearson's a s**t manager for attention-seeking purposes) that he is our best hope of having another chance of going up.
