Guest Jack the Hat Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 He is exactly what we need. I have a feeling this could happen. Lump on everyone lump on. Unfortunate for our current manager Gary rowett though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLOwl Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 11 minutes ago, Ever the pessimist said: His track record is very good. He’s character is what we need given our set of spineless wasters throughout the place. Plus, and I concede you’ll have to take my word on this, having spoken to him I am convinced we’re more than just any other club to him. He may not throw daft platitudes around the media, but he knows he is respected and it’s mutual. Sadly that’s all superfluous as he’s not daft enough to take us on (nor do we have a vacancy). He did well both times at Leicester, other than that meh. Is it a daft platitude to just acknowledge that we are more than just another club? No. I think that shows his true character.

Taximark Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Said many times he wouldnt manage this club, cant see that changing. You never know in football from a personal point of view I'd love to see him here, met him a few times and he loves Wednesday he's told me some great stories from back in the day. Never say Never though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think he could have been convinced to come when we looked more appealing. I would argue he did well at Newcastle and Hull. Wasn’t too bad at Watford either.

Emerson Thome Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'd have him here in a heartbeat. His Leicester side played with a real flair - positive, attacking football and unearthed some cracking players like Vardy, Mahrez and Knockaert (don't know how involved he was in signing them?). And he was showing signs of achieving the same at Watford (that 3-0 win over Liverpool most notably). Also worth noting that his managerial record has been much better when Shakespeare has been his assistant (the spell at Derby and in Belgium when Shakespeare was off pursuing a solo career was much less successful). They both know the club and I feel will have a point to prove having been sacked by Watford. I'm prepared to stick with Monk if there's no-one else available... but we would be daft not to sound them out and see if they are interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 My best mate is a Leicester fan. He likes Brendan Rogers but says many fans would have Pearson back tomorrow if Rogers were to go. Hugely respected down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say - it’s kind of irrelevant now... The predicament we are in could be the perfect time to come, a bit like when Wilder went to the stain. Things can't get much worse but maybe just maybe things could get a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they all know that the side NP saved from the drop the year before won the league under Raniari....not taking anything thing away from Raniari but Pearson built that side and it had guts in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
