TRO Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) 11 minutes ago, bobzy said: Most football fans wouldn't give a flying fig who the manager is so long as the right results are happening on the pitch. Factually, in most managerial sackings, the back room staff also leave the club - especially when a new manager comes in. It seems to be the case at Leicester that the back room staff were asked to stay on and carry on doing their work. That's pretty rare, no? It's not a stick to beat Pearson with - it's an acknowledgement of how well those particular staff members have performed. And, look, things have only gotten better for Leicester. If the whole team was the problem, the whole team would've been removed. But didn't Pearson go for other than football reasons?.....which would explain why the owners recognised the good football work being done and kept on the backroom staff. Its all cosmetic anyway, we will probably get someone else. Edited May 16, 2016 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point and hey no one is disputing the worth of Steve Walsh.....Arsenal probably have a vacancy for a scout ......but not for the Manager role, so its a bit academic really......They wouldn't be interested in Pearson for that reason.

You say this in jest, but I'd be chuffed if that's what had happened. Silver lining to the takeover taking too long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 as said in other thread we are so far behind other teams in preparation for next season especially when we actually had a huge head start. Manager should have been hired by now and he should be getting his backroom into place and working on signings I bet we havent spoke or even approached anybody yet so managers cant even do a little homework Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiezels Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Tenuous link alert: Mates missus is best mates with Pearsons daughter. Asked him to enquire. Pearsons daughter said her old man isn't saying anything, not even a hint, which suggests there is something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hughton would be the absolute definition of a safe pair of hands. Wouldn't excite a lot of people, but wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing either.

I like Hughton and I think he's done a tremendous job at Brighton. They were incredibly unlucky both to miss out on automatic promotion and then all luck went against them in the playoffs. I'm not sure whether he's the right man to sort out our bunch, but I like him and hope he's at least on a list of candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hughtons a fantastic young manager. has had success at all the clubs he has been at. I definitely think he would be interested if we approached him. No idea why we are not even contemplating him, its bizarre yet mccarthy and fistface have been strongly linked. would prefer a rowett or a hughton over dinosaurs like the other two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughton may well be very high on a list of candidates - who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
