The Enormous Turnip Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Appointing Nigel Pearson would completely & utterly subvert all the (lack of) expectations I have of the board at this moment in time. Would be very very pleasantly surprised if we got him in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that what has happened recently and over the past couple of years may have just made SL realise that they need to change their 'type of appointment' And I thought he alluded to that during his recent interview.

Bris Red Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I would love this to be true. Like GJ was the right manager at the right time i firmly believe Pearson would be the same for us right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobArnold10 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Agree with all the comments about him being similar to Cotts and we all know how that sorted us out. Out of all the “experienced” managers being mentioned he’d be my preference. He’s not my first choice but equally he’d be the tonic this club probably needs.

That's a fair point, maybe he's starting to realise some of our approaches to things are just plain wrong. I pray that Ashton needing to go is along the same road for Steve. Final chance I expect.

Looks like they got a tramp in off the street, gave him a shower and a hot meal and he was having a contented sleep afterwards, dreaming about Wetherspoon’s reopening.

It’s like Hargreaves complementing Steve in the business partnership. Think Steve might have looked to ‘escape’ that sort of character in his football life but, boy, and it might have been challenging at times for both of them, didn’t it work out well for the business. May be the penny has dropped that the chemistry of that business relationship needs to be employed in football too. If we get a fraction of the success HL have enjoyed, we’ll be top drawer in the football world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past what 30 years? We've had 2 managers who'd I'd say were a bit mental and likely to get angry in the dressing room,well certainly would get angry! Both achieved promotions and actually played good football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't lump on in this type of market. The odds would have shortened due to the right type of punter having there £20 or £30 on. When I say right type I mean agents and people connected to agents. Bookies will have a list of punters who regularly bet on this type of market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I did think watching that Lansdown interview that the penny might have dropped. He's seen what happened when he appointed Pat Lam. Obviously football is different so we can't go out there and appoint Klopp or Pep - but the point still stands. Pearson is an ambitious and proven appointment. Get the manager correct and the rest will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
