Will Pearson be retained if we get promoted

[Guest Col city fan]

Hand on heart (cos its what I think)... Yes I think Pearson would be kept. It would seem bizarre to instantly part with the man who has just got you promoted. Then... I think Pearson may struggle. I think he's possibly too rigid, doesnt embrace conflict and 'big personalities' and tactically may be a little outdated to bring success at the higher level.

I could be miles off, but I get this feeling.

Cue hostility...

Are target next season would be survival and happily take a 17th finish, stick with pearson unless say we lose six out of our first six.

I agree we should keep him and have always wanted to keep him. My fear.... devils advocate. Why give him a contract and then sack him after a few games when you can lose him for free at the end of the season in favour of a proven prem manager?

[The Year Of The Fox]

No.

I think he'll be gone regardless in the summer.

Probably along with my season ticket

[AnotherShitSeason]

"No" as in you wouldn't want him to be retained? or "No" as in you think he wouldn't be retained?

 

There is a difference between the both, and there is a difference in my reply.

 

No I don't believe he will be retained. That was the question, right? 

 

 

Ps. Don't bother with a reply. It's fine.

kind of agree re big personalities. Also think the board may act as a normal business and appoint the 'right' manager for the right market (in their minds)

I imagine you could get good odds for that

that's good, because I don't think I would fancy supporting a team with £6 million pound "big personalities" who are just about good enough for the bottom half of the premier league.

[cjslcfc]

I think he should be and will be. Would be interesting to see how he fares though

[RowlattsFox]

I must admit I am worried this May happen, I hope not but it wouldn't surprise me.

[Uncle Monty]

Yes.

[Danizen]

We've already seen this scenario play out with Southampton so the temptation will be there for the owners. If they did bring a new man in, it could propel us to the top ten but more likely it will be an unmitigated disaster.

[Guest MattP]

Nothing would surprise me in football anymore but it would be bizarre to stick with him after last year then get rid after getting us up.

[Lobsterboyuk]

Yes

[Monsell1976]

Let's get promoted first, worry about the rest in the summer.

but per my post, might the scenario potentially prevent promotion?

[Guest Sharpe's Fox]

Good manager and seems a top bloke.

[Bryn]

Truth be told this thought has occurred to me too. I want Pearson to stay and on balance I think they will stick with him, but the thought floated across my mind. Same with the players really, even the likes of Morgan.

[MooseBreath]

Even the nutjob owners giver their managers a bit of a chance in the prem first. If we get promoted he'll be offered a new contract. I'd bet my penis on that.

[Trav Le Bleu]

As some have said, it would be bizarre to get rid of a successful manager. Can't think of any other team that have got rid of a manager who has just got them promoted.

Wasn't there rumours of Holloway or somebody that had just got promoted getting sacked before the season started

And Warnock \ whatshisface err Soton boss and look at what has happened at Cardiff. Key is Pearson wouldn't need to be sacked, just not retained

Ah it was Warnock I was thinking of

[Fox92]

No I don't believe he will be retained. That was the question, right?

Yes, that was the question. I just wanted to know whether you wanted or thought. I'm not going to throw abuse at you for saying you don't think he'll be retained, where as I would have if would have said he should not be retained!

Doesn't seem to have affected the first half of the season
