hackneyfox Posted 23 May 2013 Posted 23 May 2013 Yeah, I'm sure they're holding off sacking Pearson and wasting half the summer on the off-chance that someone decent is available later. If you assume that Pearson is going then ouldn't that be the sensible thing to do rather than choosing a manger from those presently available?
FrankieADZ Posted 23 May 2013 Posted 23 May 2013 so Lennon couldnt have been at the Watford game to look at players then? sweet jebus
suffolk fox Posted 23 May 2013 Posted 23 May 2013 All pearsonites won't even accept lennon was at the watford game. According to them the photo taken of him was photoshopped. He had a picture taken with a fan and even that did not convince some. You have to ask yourselves this though, "why was he there?"

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 23 May 2013 Posted 23 May 2013 Christ!I think even he would struggle to get us promoted
Guest Posted 23 May 2013 Posted 23 May 2013 I think even he would struggle to get us promoted Decent with crosses though
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 23 May 2013 Posted 23 May 2013 Decent with crosses though And good on waterlogged pitches
Wymsey Posted 23 May 2013 Posted 23 May 2013 Perhaps Hughes will not be a potential contender now... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22649939 Rather glad if he goes to Stoke - his boring, and often confusing, style of football will suit that club.
Tuna Posted 24 May 2013 Posted 24 May 2013 Interesting to read that the Stoke chairman wanted to 'take Stoke in a different direction' - With Hughes in charge we know exactly which direction !
bald reynard Posted 24 May 2013 Posted 24 May 2013 Interesting to read that the Stoke chairman wanted to 'take Stoke in a different direction' - With Hughes in charge we know exactly which direction ! So if the Daily Mail (and the 'ITK' earlier in the week) is correct AND Stoke DO go for Hughes, we should expect a Lennon announcement at City next week ?!

He had a picture taken with a fan and even that did not convince some. You have to ask yourselves this though, "why was he there?" Well that's bollocks for a start because I'm staunchly pro-Pearson and I know for a fact he was there. I also know that he was there to scout Watford's Glasgow-born Ikechi Anya with a view to signing him over the summer. So if the Daily Mail (and the 'ITK' earlier in the week) is correct AND Stoke DO go for Hughes, we should expect a Lennon announcement at City next week ?! No,
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 24 May 2013 Posted 24 May 2013 So if the Daily Mail (and the 'ITK' earlier in the week) is correct AND Stoke DO go for Hughes, we should expect a Lennon announcement at City next week ?!I very much doubt it
Happy Fox Posted 25 May 2013 Posted 25 May 2013 A new article on City bringing in Lennon in the Mirror today http://www.teamtalk.com/papertalk/8733838/Paper-Talk-Reds-lodge-Atsu-bid Ambitious Leicester are considering making a move to bring Neil Lennon back to the club from Celtic.

Well if the mirror have said it then? . . . .
Happy Fox Posted 25 May 2013 Posted 25 May 2013 Well if the mirror have said it then? . . . . It is not so much the Mirror just the rumours of Lennon won't go away either way we may find out more after the cup final tomorrow.

Lionator Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 More bollocks from another bollocks paper. So true, if this was so obvious do you think Pearson would stand for it? No, he'd walk. Nothing in it.
inckley fox Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 So true, if this was so obvious do you think Pearson would stand for it? No, he'd walk. Nothing in it. It's unlikely, isn't it? The Lennon story would be very slightly more viable with the Cup Final tomorrow / the absence of signings compared to this time last year / the possible breakdown of the Beckford deal / absence of a public confirmation of NP's continuation (if that's really necessary). O'Neill, as far as I'm aware, hasn't ever been 'lined up' to replace a manager already in a job; perhaps as a matter of principle on his part. And if the club are looking to cut costs, a new high profile manager would be an unusual solution. That said, I don't think Pearson would resign and forego the million he'd have been paid during the season. Few managers do these days, preferring the sack and resultant pay-off. I'm unconvinced by the story, but equally imagine Pearson would be pushed before he jumped were his job to be under threat.

A lot if bookies have suspended betting on o'neill at stoke, so that might put that one to bed
