Should Pearson Go? - The Poll

[Alf Bentley]

To be fair buddy, I consider myself something of a wordsmith, but I don't know the one you've used above?

Prestis...what?

 

Prestidigitation, Col, the digitization of print media - and hyperbole is excessive Sky coverage of American football.

Oh, and the "P" in MattP stands for "Poujadist Provocateur".

That is easily one of my favourite Alf Bentley posts!

100% agree - and likely Hammond back in the fold.

And Morgan replacing Albrighton in the dungeon.

Only 4 votes for the No, he can keep us up option

 

Everyone thinks we are done and dusted in the Prem then.

[Captain...]

I've reached the point where I wouldn't be upset if we sacked him, I don't want him gone I want to be a huge long term success but after his latest outburst and baffling team selection and subs I'm losing faith in him as a person to lead. He has always been shit with the media but this season has taken it to new levels and players must see and hear it and think WTF as well as potential investors. Mourinhio is an arse but he is a successful one and a clever he deflects attention from the players and puts pressure on the refs and opposition, Pearson comes across as just an arse.

It was only a few weeks ago that I was angry to hear he had been sacked, now I kinda wish he had been.

I've supported him though this whole debRcle, but team selections etc have seriously let him down of late imo and throughout the whole season in others opinions. Sadly I have to say that I have lost faith. Still clinging on but probably to no avail. I genuinely thought he'd had learnt from the mistKes he's made this yeAr but it doesn't seem so. We need promotion next yeAr more than anything else, but not sure hes the man to keep us up next time of asking. Would have liked tim sherwood but it's too late.

I'm surprised, bemused and yet proud at the support he still retains.

The only argument for keeping him now is that he's a good championship manager. Personally I don't think that the Nigel Pearson going back to the Championship is the same as the Nigel Pearson of a year or two ago.

YOur signature seems a little dated then

[SecretPro]

62 votes for letting him have the whole of next season. I'm genuinely shocked.

[Donut]

I would attribute that mostly to an air of resegnation

[inckley fox]

62 votes for letting him have the whole of next season. I'm genuinely shocked.

 

That's borderline unconditional support, isn't it? I mean, we don't have a clue what's going to happen for the rest of this season, or the start of next. We could recover, make a bit of a fist of it and get off to a fine start next year. Or we could pick up 2, 3, 4 points for the rest of the season and find ourselves 13th in October. To say he should stay beyond that would be sort of implying that you thought we'd have been as well off sticking with Sven as getting Pearson in in the first place.

[Guest bss9401]

Has to go. Now or at the end of the season. He has been allowed to carry on demonstrating how he is not the man to take the club forward while showing himself up as an arrogant rse of the highest order. Such a shame after last season. His personality should not come into it but sadly it has. There are a number of replacement candidates who would be encouraged by the fact that the owners have supported the clown for longer than the majority of clubs would given the disastrous season and his behaviour. Many on here seem to be too stubborn or stupid to recognise who those candidates are.

You didn't add option 7 till much later so a number of people who would have voted that originally instead had to choose 4 because it was the closest.

I'm sure not all of the people who voted for option one think we can stay up either. It's just that they want him gone now so that was the one they had to go for, even if they don't think we can stay up.

 

Same applies to me and a lot of others when we went for option 4 - I'd guess that most of us don't support him unconditionally but we do want him here at the start of next season so. Option 4 fitted our view better than any of the others.

 

Oh, just seen that dogadug's pointed out the same thing too. 

[One Legged Beaver]

Don't see much point in getting rid of him now as I don't think anyone could keep us up at this point. So I'd keep him and see how he is doing until October, because if we are wanting a qualified manager to get us back to the prem then they don't come much more qualified than Pearson.

[dayday]

I voted sack him at the end of the season,but thinking about it..now would be the best solution.

Players are out of contract,players want to leave,at least if the new manager comes in now he would get a good idea what he wants to do.

Half the options didn't even appear until hours after the poll was set up, there was pretty much only one option to back him and that was "give him next season". The other options got added in after 100 odd votes had already been cast.

Ian Holloway? He's had 2 promotions to the premier league.

[Burbage Fox]

Option 1 for me and mainly for football reasons, especially Saturday which given after the match he stated that we were not offensive as he wanted whilst for nearly the entire game he sat on his arse in the stand, I would have thought that he might have deemed it more appropriate to get in the technical area and try and drive the team on from there, maybe he knows the team don't listen to him... so we were left with the chubby dwarf in the technical area..

 

also he has done so many things that would get a normal person fired this year outside of the results, I presume he has compromising images of the board doing things they should not, maybe I  should start a poll on what that could be....

Yep

 

It's a good time to judge, if we're where we need to be, then that's great, but if not a new manager can come in - get two weeks with the squad during an international break, with another international break soon after and make a positive difference to results - While maintaining a 'it's not my playing staff, get out of jail free card' and then kick-on in the Jan transfer window to make the season a success

A new manager can come in now?

 

Surely the only manager you're going to get now is an out of work one... and not one that you might really, really want and be able to get in the summer

[foxfanazer]

Either sack him today or keep him for next season. Right now I'd be happy with either, if we sacked him at the end of the season, we'd be relegated anyway. The only reason to keep him is for his Championship ability, so end of the season would be stupid

This

[5waller5]

I just cannot fathom how he has any support left. There is simply nothing to lose in sacking him ... our best players will leave at the end of the season anyway so a rebuilding job is needed - lets do it with someone that can be or is a premiership manager.
