striker Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Dont think any manager going to Watford expects it to be a long term job Is it just me that doesn't rate Pearson? Still living off promotion with Leicester years ago and done very little since. When I hear him speak about us he's also not entirely complementary, played a huge part in the greatest day in my living memory, as a top player, yes, but don't think he has any real affinity for the club. I get the impression we were just a job to him and the comment about not managing us just convenient geography, rather than avoiding tainting his legacy.

0114 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Pearson was my choice after Bruce left. The job he did at Leicester was similar to ours, came in after Leicester’s owners had spent big and got nowhere. Made loads of top signings at the right age and he essentially got the ball rolling to where they are today. His reputation at the beginning of the season was a bit tarnished after the Derby spell but going to Watford has put him back on the map. We’d be lucky to have him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Would be the perfect appointment for us. Which is why it will never happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Just what we need. Thought he would keep Watford up ( which was a big ask when he took over) and stay there next year. Absolute gift for chansiri this. Would put a buzz back about the place. Be 95 pc popular. Experienced and got some balls. And a club legend. Please please please let it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsie Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I personally don't get all this hype around Pearson.... Other than he's an ex owl. Which shouldn't really be a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Huddersfield, with a quick turnaround next season, they need to get a new man in place, or they’ll be behind the eight ball Its only us that thinks it’s OK to wait for month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, yeah, I was referring previous appointments Not totally convinced with Pearson as a top flight manager, but we’re not a top flight club, and he does have many of the attributes we need right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
