GeneralJazzman Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I really wanted Remi to be a success. I felt he seemed like an interesting choice and we did get better. But it really hasn't pushed on, granted player recruitment was non existent in Jan, but I thought it would be better than this. Pearson built that Leicester team but is a d**k, Bruce has a strong player pedigree but not management though (and was a blue nose), Moyes has only been 'successful' with Everton...... at this rate I would have Little back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where his son used racial slurs against Thai people whilst on a club tour btw. He didn't/wouldn't accept his son should of been fired over it for and bringing the clubs name into disrepute . This is the type of man who could be our new manager ! Vile man whose record other than last season is dubious. **** right off ! No one has any idea of who is right for us.....I would think you could have a story like that with every manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 There is such a downer on this club right now.....I would be surprised, right now if any manager has universal approval from the fans.....such is divided opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Tro surley though that the fact they sacked the man who had just performed miracles to keep them up speaks volumes of the type of guy he is that they were willing and heavily criticised at the time for sacking him? He is s nasty piece of work. You can't condone racism and he basically was saying you can cause his son apologised and didn't deserve the sack for it.

Hughes Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So, the day after the chairman points out in public that stability is the one absolute key for success and that having five managers in five years is quite simply not sustainable, he is going to sack the manager he at the same time branded "one of the best in Europe"? If so, only at Aston Villa. And Steve Bruce? GTFO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad that Leicester team IMO. Wouldn't give a flying f what the managers like if he can build teams like that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 He simply has to go, I would love someone to prove how he's not worse than Sherwood? Admittedly Sherwood was very limited but this has been farcical from day one, utter horror appointment, he's a nice man who's been dealt a poor hand but Jesus he's so wrong for the club at this time. And we're currently a backwards step for Bruce (yes that's Aston Villa under Randolph Lerner) not that I'd want him or Pearson. However I could stomach Pearson just because I have a mental image of Gabby being throttled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the details.....but no you can't condone racism, agreed.....maybe he has learnt from that with what has happened to His work at Leicester. Ron Saunders had a similar demeanor to Pearson, so i am not put off by that. maybe this squad needs a tough character in the circumstances we are in....its not for the feint hearted. its rare to find a manager that is brilliant in every aspect. I would lean towards a British manager this time, but not McLaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Funny when we appointed Sherwood I would have been aghast at the prospect of Pearson as manager, now I quite like the idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Karanka, Billic & quique Flores haven't done too badly considering they didn't know the league. I want the best man available to us regardless of their nationality.

Its just my opinion... as for foreign managers its hit and miss.....there,s been plenty of failures, spurs have had their fair share, Albion have had a few. I agree with your last line.....but define best. Pearson, has recently built a team at Leicester that is grabbing all the headlines, admittedly well managed by Ranieri, who has had his own critics at other clubs. Nothing is guaranteed....but you can't ignore his recent work.....especially a club in our position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely his management record is actually very good and in fact seems almost a specialist in halting a decline and turning it into promotion or near promotion! Looking at his record I actually think he might be what we need as long as we pay him off and thank him on promotion back to the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his record I actually think he might be what we need as long as we pay him off and thank him on promotion back to the PL Failed at Southampton, failed at Hull sacked twice by Leicester for falling out with the board. Embarrassed himself and the club on numerous occasions last season. I've posted this article in the other thread but sums him up perfectly and I don't want him near our club. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/leicester-city/11711901/Nigel-Pearson-was-a-bully-and-deserved-to-be-sacked-by-Leicester-City.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot divorce Pearson's character just because he has a record of working with lower league clubs under constraints. I can totally ignore his 'recent work'. If he becomes manager of AVFC I will have major difficulties. We should imho be above employing such a rocket polisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
