Mark_w Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 Pearson asked Hull for permission to speak to us once Sven got the sack. We didn't go looking for him, he came looking for us once the circus had left town. He never wanted to go to Hull in the first place. There is no way that Nigel Pearson would be stupid enough to request talks with another club if he had no indication that they wanted him. He'd basically have been throwing his job at Hull away for nothing. Of course we went looking for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest seanfox778 Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 I'd like to think that Nigel is determined to get us promoted this season and even a Sunderland (when they were looking) or Palace job in the prem wouldn't tempt him. I don't think he'll leave us by choice. I think he enjoys his job a lot here, that's just my opinion from interviews and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll leave us by choice. I think he enjoys his job a lot here, that's just my opinion from interviews and stuff. If Pearson was offered a job in the Premier League this early in the season then I imagine he'd be gone. He's always talking about English managers 'having to take a side up' if they want to manage in the Premier League, but if one came knocking then I find it very difficult to believe he'd stay here. It's incredibly difficult to take a side up to the Premier League and, as we've seen before, often requires a bit of luck in the play-offs. If the opportunity arose a sensible manager would ditch us and head for the top tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 Common knowledge a run of 3-4 losses on the bounce and NP is a goner. Think if the money's right, he would go to MBoro. I doubt he came back to us out of love for the club, money talks, no loyalty in the game, that goes for fans, players and staff. Sad but true. "Common knowledge" In the hollusinations club, aye.

MrSpaM Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 Not having a go mate but you don't have a clue really. Love you too mate I'm not claiming to be in the know or anything, I took that from an interview he did not so long ago. I'd link it but I literally have no idea where it was now. He made it pretty clear that he came back for more than just a pay rise though. Was pretty blatant he forced the move from Hull, and that he wasn't happy there, and Hull were not happy about him leaving either. Thought it was pretty common knowledge he never wanted to leave in the first place as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the problem with living in sunny norfolk we don't get the mockery every night. So any chance some of you could pull up ur socks and post these stories from the mockery so we all know.

MPH Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 Can't believe what I'm reading. Middlesborough - shit squad, no money, shit town, massive rebuilding job needed. No prospect of promotion for a while. Comparison to Bolton last year is ridiculous. Sheff Wed - even shitter squad and rebuilding job needed, even less money. Add in Mandaric and it's the full package of "no thanks" from Nigel. I think there might be a headbutt in there somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 Common knowledge a run of 3-4 losses on the bounce and NP is a goner. Music to my ears. We can now all rest in the knowledge that Big Nigel is here for at least the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshy5 Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 This isn't all as daft as it sounds because I think nigel will be gone at the end of the season no matter what. If we dont go up the owners will think hes had his time and will want to try someone else and if we do i reckon they'll be wanting a big name. Just an opinion.

Loggy88 Posted 24 October 2013 Share Posted 24 October 2013 He would be more tempted to lick Jermaine Beckfords arse than go to that shit club. And before anyone says I know he was their captain in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you actually believe that, it's just a case of you wanting to think that he'll be gone so you go ahead and say it anyway because you want to believe that you'll be rid of him soon. Reminds me of religious people, they choose to believe in God, not through evidence (which clearly contradicts their beliefs) but because it makes them feel happy.

Leicester_Numan Posted 25 October 2013 Share Posted 25 October 2013 then we went looking for him.We approached Hull twice and were turned down then Pearson asked for permission to speak to us which he wasn't given, he threatened to walk out and they eventually gave in. So, yes, we went after him but he wanted to come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackneyfox Posted 25 October 2013 Share Posted 25 October 2013 Plenty of people seem to think that should we get promoted that big money will be thrown at the club in an attempt to ensure survival. If we wanted to attract big name players then Pearson may not be the right manager for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but they probably work more times than they don't and it would certainly help in the premier. If the owners have 'big plans' for us then 'big names' will be part of that and it would certainly help with selling us in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big names aren't going to want to come here unless the money is big, regardless of who the manager is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fairly obvious which is why I mentioned 'big money' being thrown at the club. I wasn't expecting us to put a salary cap on of 20k a week.
