I cannot remember that ever being the case before since the inception of OTIB. Let's just hope Ashton doesn't put his oar in and screw this up at the 11th hour. The "Hughes or Pearson" thread has a few saying they wouldn't want him. I guess they've decided silence is the best option for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Precisely the sort of appointment we should have been looking to make not just last summer but 5 years ago when Cotts left, 5 years wasted on a borderline incomprehensible 'project'. Nigel Person would be an appointment we can all understand. Been there and done it. Hopeful that this will be confirmed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antman Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 If it does happen, and thats still an IF, it will certainly pressure test the relationship between SL and his manager like never before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcing NP as soon as he signs is critical to give us all a massive lift. New manger syndrome, everyone’s buzzing there tits off, a few wins on the spin and bingo, back in business.

Kibs Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 It is interesting that it might only be a deal until the end of the season. Lansdown clearly said in his interview, it won't be a short term appointment, we will only ever look long-term (or words to that effect) and Pearson is quoted in the Guardian as saying “I can’t do things half-measure. I don’t do things half-measure. It’s really important for me to commit to something. I’ll only really know when either an opportunity comes along or if I feel that grab inside myself.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just now, TomF said: I'd NP doesn't want to manage a team in L1 - stay up and he'll stay. Exactly that. I'd be amazed that (providing NP happens) there isn't an extension/clause at the end of it providing we stay up, which includes a significant bonus for doing so, a longer term contract, and the promise of transfer funds to rebuild how he sees fit in the summer. This could very well be our version of Pat Lam.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is true as wouldn’t want us to have to appoint another HC in the summer, especially with the turnover of players that we are likely to see/need.
