Certainly he seems to have more strings to his bow if he can maintain a balanced working relationship with the owner. More exciting imho. Hughton woudve been very steady progression, but Pearson has the higher ceiling I think and a higher propensity for drama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 6 minutes ago, Lanterne Rouge said: Didn`t he only leave because of the unpleasantness with his son in Thailand? He was pretty much forced to choose between club and family IIRC. Just checked Wikipedia an that seems to be the case. He took Leicester up, kept them up then left when the Thailand stuff happened.

Alessandro Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Reading about the possibility of Pearson is like stepping in a hot shower after being in the artic for 6 weeks. Would be superb for us right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knows what he wants and where he's at. Does not suffer fools gladly, I think we can say. Articulate, nice guy? Mnn Hey, we've been there done that anyway.

Numero Uno Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I did say this is what I would do yesterday funnily enough!! The first bit is get him in the door and get a few results and that's when the tougher bit starts.......persuading him that we are a club he can stay at and achieve things in an environment that he can work with. If not he'll keep us up and walk away....................but definitely a chance worth taking and if Steve Lansdown has pulled this off then he deserves credit for at least seeing the car crash ahead of him and slamming the brakes on rather than the accelerator!!

Jimbo76 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Don't want to detract from the anticipation but his managerial record shows a few jobs where he was only in post for a matter of months.
