new zealand owl Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 would be a fantastic appointment and one that would reconnect the fans with the club for sure. For those not wanting him, you do realise we are 23rd in the championship right? I actually think if he was given the right sales pitch (highly unlikely with us) he would join. Come on Nige.....you know you want to We're All Ostriches Aren't We 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 At the end of the day, there are more important things than football. As much as I'd love a proven manager like Pearson, his health and family are more important. I wonder if a DOF role would suit him? I think we need a CEO and/or a DOF as much as we need a new manager. Great player and a decent manager with a proven record. I'd be excited if we axed Monk and brought in a manager of Pearson's calibre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Offer him DoF with Ryan Lowe as head coach. I know Mr C dismissed the idea but wasn’t that the structure he wanted with CC and cooper(?) use big Nidge’s experience to help Lowe make the step up. Wouldn’t need to be on it seven days a week then and wouldnt be as much strain as being in the spotlight? I can dream can’t i 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Very odd thread. his last 3 seasons of work, I believe, are in reverse order 1. Failing to save Watford from relegation 2. Being fired from an obscure Belgian team after guiding them to the bottom of the league 3. Somehow contriving to only just survive relegation at Leicester with a team that only the following season won the premier league by 10 points. am I missing something ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Never been a fan of Pearson, but having listened to that maybe my perception was coloured by his more bizarre behaviour at Leicester towards the end, re Ostriches etc. To give him his dues, he is a good manager.with a decent record, strong character, available and a credible candidate.

He wasn't manager when Watford were relegated ! Contrived to just keep Leicester up by finishing 14th and 6 points clear,having been promoted as champions the season before ! 4 places higher and he would have been in Chris Wilder wonderland 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod9 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I know a close family friend to Pearson. Messaged him last night asking if Nigel was in for the job. His responses was “I can tell you for one, there’s no chance of that happening!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Linked with Pearson in The Times. You have to pay for the article so you can’t read the whole thing. But it says... ”The Times understands Pearson would prefer a Premier League job but is willing to hear what” Then it cuts off Edited November 10, 2020 by 0114 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
