Bettsj2 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This is where the Pearson out arguments fall apart. Nobody can ever name anyone who is likely to be better who is realistically available. Not actually true. Those in the Pearson out camp between them can probably name about 20 managers who in their opinion would come here and do a better job than Pearson. Those in the Pearson in camp would then take the list of 20, rubbish all of the candidates on the list because in their opinion, there doesnt seem to be a manager on the face of the earth that could do a better job. Which is pretty much why every thread on this subject should be clearly a Pearson in thread or a Pearson out one.
Bettsj2 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 MON was a right manipulative bastard behind the scenes and caused various rifts at board level. That is a fact. This is true. The whole Barry Pierrepoint saga started because he asked MON to pay for some overseas personal calls on his company mobile. After that, MON fvcked him royally.
Robin JD Popley Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This is true. The whole Barry Pierrepoint saga started because he asked MON to pay for some overseas personal calls on his company mobile. After that, MON fvcked him royally. Fair point then lads, I was a youngster when all that side of stuff was going on so probably am looking at it with rose-tinted specs a bit but I still prefer how the team played on the pitch under MON. Agree with you as well Betts about the never ending debate becoming a massive rift as we on this side of the argument name people but then people shoot us down for daring to put forward suggestions. There are probably managers overseas we haven't even thought of but hey-ho.
Giggsy77 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 The loyalty that Pearson is showing is no different to what loyalty is being shown to Pearson by some fans. Best man for the job? Really? If that's so, then why are we bottom?. Also, why buy a striker who was bought to score goals and put him on the bench?. Every week the line up is baffling, he don't know his best team. Oh and he will get is back up?. Have you looked at Wigan, Fulham...its time to move on and get someone to take us on to the next level. Michael Laudrup would be a good shout.
shade Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I'm pearson in, my concern is Nigel's style is authoritarian, he's the leader and he needs followers, which can and does work. the problem is we need leaders on the field and we don't really have any. this isn't about pearson not managing egos, it's about him seeming to actively avoid leader/strong personality type players. the only reason he lets was through is because he obviously respects his hard as nails attitude.
Leicestermad85 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 what Michael Laudrup who is in charge of a club in qatar. and tim sherwood the bloke who got shafted by the big clubs managing spurs. Somebody call Roberto di Matteo FFsthe one whos in charge of schalke?
Leicestermad85 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 My shortlist would include the following: Eddie Howe - I think he's a fantastic young manager but Bournemouth will probably be in the Premier League Steve McClaren - Likes to play football the right way. Doing really well at Derby without that much backing. Neil Lennon - Legend at the club. Would make us very difficult to beat. Has experience at Champions League level. Would definitely want to come here I'm sure. Aitor Karanka - Again, doing a fantastic job at Middlesbrough. Think he has a great LT future in the game with his coaching experience under Mourinho, amongst others. Those 4 are all possibilities. Lennon the most likely and I certainly wouldn't be averse to us hiring him at all. Sherwood I'm unsure because of his lack of managerial experience but he'd maybe be worth a gamble.
ADK Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Not actually true.

Which is pretty much why every thread on this subject should be clearly a Pearson in thread or a Pearson out one. So far we've only had 4 that might come here: (plus the obligatory "get a foreigner in that I've never heard of") Sherwood Robinson Lennon Laudrup People that have either failed or are extremely unproven. I wanted Sousa out when he had us bottom and being thrashed 6-0 by rubbish, it was obvious that other managers would be a better bet. I wanted Sven out when he was spending silly money and losing 3-0 at home to Millwall. It was again obvious that other managers could do better. There simply isn't an obvious alternative to Pearson that would justify the risk and upheaval of changing the manager.
Spanner73 Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Id say stick with him normally as I don't see it improving when managers are sacked however in my opinion he's making it very difficult for the owners not to make a decision imminently based on his poor decision making ie tactics personnel choices I can't see it changing so therefore id make the decision asap and maybe just maybe a new voice and ideas could get them going we've nothing to lose now the seasons over anyhow with him at the helm so why not ? the trouble is who i think you need an experienced PL gaffer who can get you out of trouble pulls would have been perfect Mick McCarthy has done wonders again with no money at Ipswich id hate to say Warnock but he could do it too it's difficult there's not much about
Tuna Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This whole discussion is pointless, we all know that whether we stay up or go down (we're down), Pearson will stay. He's got a contract, and why would the owners get rid of him if we went back down? He's best placed to continue, he knows the players, knows the division, has WON the division. Sack Pearson if we go down and we'll end up like Wigan.
MaxLERenard Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This is true. The whole Barry Pierrepoint saga started because he asked MON to pay for some overseas personal calls on his company mobile. After that, MON fvcked him royally. ... and how long after he went did we go into administration?
cjslcfc Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Care to explain why you'd rubbish those options? Rather than simply laughing. I think some people miss the fvcking point here. IF Nigel left then I'd say those options are all realistic and probably would do a good job. I still think Pearson is better than all of them.

Why on earth would they come here when they will be in the premier league next season anyway
stox259 Posted 8 February 2015 Author Posted 8 February 2015 As I thought there is no stand out candidate. What if this is one bad season that Pearson is having? What if this is a one off. Ferguson, Rogers even O'Neill had one bad season every now and then. I can't remember Nigel Pearson having a bad season whoever he has managed! What would the harm be keeping Pearson until the middle of next year and just trying to strive for stability. If we are 12th in the championship at Christmas then fair dos time to go. Surely no one is disputing Pearson is a good manager? We, better than most know how hard it is to get a good manager. How many is it now since O'Neill? Support the club through thick and thin. IMO Nigel should be in charge this season and the beginning of next. If at Christmas we are not playoffs at least then bye bye. You know it makes sense ;-) PS. West Ham fans did their best to get rid of Big Sam last season. Look where they are now. Proven good managers will always rise to the top over 'one season wonders' in fashion at the time.
sylofox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Have you met the man? If not I'm not sure how you can not like him as a person? I have never met the Yorkshire ripper and I do not like him. How can you tell me I am wrong.
Unabomber Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I have never met the Yorkshire ripper and I do not like him. How can you tell me I am wrong. No I believe you have never met the yorkshire ripper mate.
cjslcfc Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Why on earth would they come here when they will be in the premier league next season anyway This is true. I don't think all 3 of them will be though. Anyway, if they weren't I'd take them, should Pearson not be in charge. Shows you how poor the list will be if we do go down and he leaves though...
Thrill Bert Fox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 I wanted Pearson gone ages ago when Neil Lennon was still available. He's doing really well with a terrible bolton team, has experience of making lesser teams hard to beat (Bolton and Celtic in the Champions League). Tim Sherwood would be a decent shout now. Failing that then i'd probably take about anyone. If they can select our best 11 then that's one better than Pearson already
Leicester Lass Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Pearson as short odds as 1/2 now for next PL manager to be sacked.

Can't believe you all think pearson cannot be replaced.

hackneyfox Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 This is where the Pearson out arguments fall apart. Nobody can ever name anyone who is likely to be better who is realistically available. Realistically available? Club has been run to Premier standards for the last few seasons according to anybody who visits the club. Owners who are hands off but happy to give the manager plenty to spend. Sell out crowds even though we've taken 9 points from 19 games. I'd imagine that there's plenty of managers would happily leave their current club to join us.
Finn Claw II Posted 8 February 2015 Posted 8 February 2015 Glenn hoddle, about time he managed a club again. Can't see Lennon leaving or McLaren. 'Arry would be 'triffic' (not really but if you want experience he is the man).
