Lympsham Red Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'd love to see some actual proof that SL is as bad as people say he is, and doesn't want to pay high wages, because I haven't seem any as of yet, but all I'm hearing is that same rhetoric repeated.

I wonder if Pearson is just trying to get on the radar for other clubs, a bit like players have done with us. Jesus that is depressing, let's hope it's a normal DM story.

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 1 hour ago, Red white and red said: Totally agree. The only person lansdown and co will be looking for is a cheap and easy yes man, Pearson certainly isn't that. How do you know Mr Lansdown wants a 'cheap and easy yes man'?! I would have thought an experienced, established, successful manager would be preferable as he could be left to get on with it and do his job, which would make Mr Lansdown's life easier. But I don't pretend to know what Mr Lansdown is thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many feel we would be very lucky to get him. Be warned, you'll need to bite your tongue on a few of the posts about us. They seem to have got a bit Billybigbollux over there (understandably), or just ignorant. Is indeed an interesting read. Quite a lot of comments about his dependency/desire for his back room staff? Never ever going to move from Leicester are they to us. Cannot in truth see it, but would love to be wrong. Would certainly show intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 My wife's family are Leicester supporters and they still speak very highly of Pearson. They are utterly convinced he would keep us up and move us in the right direction next season. I was very impressed with his articulate, intelligent comments on five live tonight and he is now my top pick for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely, and these are exactly the things that SC was accused of being when the board sought him out and appointed him - this notion seems to get bandied about whenever it comes to bringing in a new gaffer, and I'm not really sure there is much weight to it (and please don't use 'evidence' from this forum to back it up, folks; far too much of what is presented as fact here is clearly isn't). We'll see what happens. And for all he record; I'd agree with those saying Appleton would be underwhelming based on his record at this level, and after hearing him talk tonight I am impressed by Pearson's grasp of the game and thinking. But whatever happens, and whoever arrives, I'll be getting behind them, because as SC proved ten fold; sometimes people can surprise you.

EmersonsRed Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Without reading through seven pages of stuff I'd like to further reiterate what I was told last night and has confirmed to me today, we approached Nigel Pearson and as I said afterwards this afternoon, we aren't particularly keen about bringing in all of his backroom staff he demands (I presume that's what he meant by the hierarchy of a club trusting him fully on the radio tonight). I'm led to believe the club will talk to Pearson over the weekend and hopefully come to an agreement by Tuesday. As I also stated before, the bloke who's telling me this has no interest in Bristol City, no reason to wind me up, works within football. I have my trust in him.

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 On the football specials betting front I would trust Skybet over any of the other bookies as there network for info is far stronger than any of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their was rumour that was why he turned down both the Reading and Fulham jobs due to not allowing him changes to backroom staff as well as wage demands, I'd imagine we might sanction a few changes but I it depends guess how drastic they are and the wages that go with it. If he wants a few from Leicester though I can't see them coming with how well their doing right now or affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does like people he knows and trusts around him, so may well be some truth he wants to own who he works with. The next few days are not going to be dull!

The Bard Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Love the fact that Gary Johnson is the same price as Clarence Seedorf. Have to say though that Jon Pemberton at 33/1 is a good price. I'm not convinced the board have anyone lined up and if we have an upturn whilst not getting our preferred target (not impossible) he might well get the job. Looking at it logically, how on earth is Garry Monk shorter than Chris Powell, Steve Clarke and Uwe Rosler? Trying to be as dispassionate as possible, it seems to me that the best bets in there are Pearson, but failing that one of Steve Clarke, Chris Powell and Uwe Rosler. All those 3 have championship experience and are fairly unblemished having been sacked prematurely from their last jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
