BRISTOL86 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Putting the bizarre behaviour towards the end of his second spell at Leicester to one side, he's the stand out candidate in terms of his experience at this level, amongst those touted so far. Must also be very well connected you would think, and you would hope we stand a much better chance of attracting players with him than most of the more realistic names.

MC RISK77 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Pearson would be my choice....stock is still high and did a brilliant job at Leicester.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Would love Pearson as our manager. Won the Championship as manager and kept Leicester in the premier league.

In modern day football it is not true that when you get a manager you are also getting his eye for a player. Leicester have a large team of scouts and analysts who identify players.

And Its Smith Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I am sure that Pearson will think he is better than us and I agree that he is. If he waits he will be offered something like Fulham, Cardiff or Wolves. Maybe even Villa. Moyes is also unrealistic. The best we can hope for is someone like Steve Clarke.

Flagon Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Would be a good appointment. However, part of the boards reason in sacking Cotts was stating that our goal is Premier league football so no matter who the new manager turns out to be what are they going to do when the players identified want the money to go with it?

The dastardly red Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 hmmm looks like he could start a fight at someone else's mother's funeral. As a player or a fan you've got to at least like your manager a little bit,surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Like others have said, can't see him joining us. Unless we sell him an incredible tale of our ambition and desire to compete at the top end of the Championship, you'd expect him to wait for a bigger job. Be a fantastic coup for the club if we did manage to entice him. You'd have to fancy his chances of keeping us up and then building a squad good enough to challenge next season.

jambodinho Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 He's the 1 guy you'd think would have the most chance of keeping us up. He could probably get us to a comfortable midtable place in the championship next season and then our fans would want him out because he's not the right guy to take us to the next level. Football is a funny old game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Warnock would also be interested, depends if we are going to appoint a short term fix with the sole brief of trying to stay up or someone who is as long a term option as anyone can be these days. Just think the likes of Moyes, Monk and Pearson all think they can get a better job than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Robin Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Interesting that the statement said they were looking for a head coach, not a manager. Would Pearson go for that or is he an out and out manager type? I don't know how it worked for him at Leicester. If we're looking to move up a level, we need to move up a level in terms of management. Putting personalities to one side, he does fit the bill.
