GBF Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I know I am going to get shot down. Don’t care. Just love the Club and want the best for it. Clearly not going to happen. Best manager we have employed since Alan Dicks in terms of understanding what’s required to get promoted and what awaits should we ever achieve this. If Pearson can’t come back as Director of football. We all know the club don’t want him and he would tell us where to go So the question is who could we appoint that could do this job? 6 2 7 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobImps Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 (edited) Hugely hypothetical at this time, but... If the club were to dismiss Manning now, I'd love us to go for Cooper, do I think either are likely? Not a chance for either. I don't think they'd sack Manning, the ego's won't allow it. And I don't think they'd go for Cooper, makes to much sense. Edited February 25 by RobImps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to do so it would require SL to sell the club and the new owner to sack Brian Tinnion. By the time this happened Pearson would have settled into his new relaxed lifestyle and wouldn’t have any interest in giving it up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not really take the transfer dealings of his time at Forest to seriously though, not entirely sure he had much input into that circus act.

Fordy62 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 The Lansdowns are incapable of admitting they’ve made a mistake, so never gonna happen. They’ll just try and buy themselves out of it. Again. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He quit Swansea when the money was inevitably going to dry up too. Not because they are an extravagantly spending club more that the Parachute Payments dried up..hard to gauge his time at Nottingham Forest in that sense though agreed. Having said that the Accounts actually did show a big year on year fall from 2019-20 to 2020-21 albeit from a high base.

Its not as if Pearson has ever returned anywhere before. The issue is of course the Lansdown family calls the shots so we will end up with another awful appointment and Tinnion being given control until the end of the season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 So we should turn to sacking a manager after 2 consecutive defeats? Who are we, Watford? Presumably Pearson would also get the bullet if he lost 2? Or does he get a buffer of 3? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually wouldn't agree with such appointments but I actually think he'd do well. Seems a likable guy, younger players like him and lots of experience and loves the club. I'm guessing he's done the relevant badges? But wonder if there's any hard feelings towards the board with the story of them questioning his inclusion in the team before Pearson left? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's not quite as bleak as some might think given he obviously wanted to stay. I imagine certain figures in the hierarchy aren't his favourite people but he also clearly connected with the fans and many at the club. I'm sure he'd caution people at the cons and issues but I'm not wholly certain he'd tell them it was a completely terrible place to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the link but doesn’t mean it’s fair to bring up a guy who has had some decent results when none of those you mentioned have. This forum is descending into a complete farce with the same topic being brought up every week under a different title. To be fair, he gave four other managers not three. You could add Duff into that as well so we’ve got five clubs at this level (and none of them Watford, bizarrely) acting within short timeframes. And as Edwards beat us, it’s pretty damning that’s not seen as a decent result! The facts are that each scenario is different. Manning should be judged on where the club was when he came in, where we are now and likely trajectory based on what we’ve seen. It looks poor based on that. The broader fact is that the average tenure for a manager at this level is just over a year, and Liams never lasted even a season and a half at a job. On that basis he’s 33-50% minimum through his expected time here (which will please some!) so reviewing is absolutely sensible. Calling for Pearson back, however romantic that would be to some, however is not in view of all the other things that would have to and won’t happen for it to occur. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
