new zealand owl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 It is guaranteed to end in controversy, it always does with Pearson.....but there are certain managers you want when we are at crisis point and he is one of them....get him in! Highly doubt he will come though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I find it easier to both get to, and get home from work. Sometimes I can pop to the shop as well and pick up something for tea. So to summarise, I reckon Nige should reconsider his stance on this. Yeah, but if you have a bad day at the office you're not going to have a bunch of shirtless, boozed up nob'eds camped outside your house screaming at your family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make your fuckingminds up!! He'll end up getting his collar felt. Seems a bit unstable to me, which does come across in some of his Leicester interviews. I'm just not sure the added pressure of working in his home town will work. I think he'd end up in the papers for all the wrong reasons. Top captain. Best memories of SWFC when he was there, but the jury is out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that’s how Monk comes across. I think he comes across as a bit snidey. And everyone’s favourite, BFR once had DiCanio by the throat in the changing room? Was rRon “ too aggressive”? IF he took the job I bet the first thing he would do is put Westwood back in goal. How does that fit with the Monk / Pearson are bullies agenda? All of you that are giving his character traits as reason not to employ him, have you actually met him? Because that’s the opposite of how he comes across. IF he took it, I will come back to the UK and buy a season ticket for next season. If Monk stays I won’t. wonder how many others feel the same? If that's true, then yes, he was. I think that if any manager/player assaulted someone else, I'd expect them to get the sack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a consideration, but Wilder had a similar reputation, so as long as it’s channeled, you can harness that passion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I do think the penny will will drop eventually as his money goes ever faster down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Pearson will manage this club one day. The problem is, he’s probably in a position financially to bide his time. This is not the time to manage this football club. We are set for a number of years in the wilderness, with promotion very unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people thought that DC would have been able to land Bruce. I hope that Monk's departure will announced sometime on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) So, there’s people saying he’s turned it down before and he’s said he’d never manage us. The only quotes I can find are him saying he’s never turned it down before because he’s never been approached and he’s not saying he doesn’t want to do it. He has however said that Sheffield is a big part of his life and his families and he doesn’t really want to put that at risk. This was last year. Thats certainly not a “I’d never manage Wednesday“ Edited July 20, 2020 by Ozymandias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Why are people so keen to get Pearson ? he has just been sacked by Watford after about 20 games, lasted about 20 games at derby, left the Belgium team pretty much at the bottom of the league when he got sacked . He managed to nearly relegate Leicester from the premier league, with a team that won the premier league by 10 points the following season. We really don’t like ourselves ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. “While someone else was still manager” The acid test is approaching him and making the offer, see if he turns it down. I’m not an advocate for him being manager btw, nor am I against it.

I get your point but he doesn't have to be sacked. He only signed a contract to the end of the season. This is a key time for Wednesday, we "could" get in a new manager if DC thinks it is the better option. They would have a chance to freshen up the squad with their own players and actually start to build. What DC decides to do at the end of this season is huge and will set us up to succeed or fail over the next couple of years....punishment pending of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
