Officially bored of it now... piss off and take your stupid ****ing hair cut with you.
As has been mentioned, the real concern is that Pearson is desperate enough to get away that Hull looks attractive to him.
yep all the evidence points to this been true and pearson early next week wont be our manager unless he himself changes his mind.
my question is tho how did this probably play out.
is it a case pearson would have contacted hull? or they approached pearson (whilst he is employed).
nothing on the os
I can't actually believe he's considering moving away from us! All the work he has done for the club, winning League One and then transforming us into possibly one of the best in the Championship! And now he wants to feck off to HULL!?
Thanks Pearson
I think that Pearson is overrated. Sad to see him go in some respects, but going to Hull speaks volumes for his ambitions. If he was such a good manager, why does he stay at Leicester, get us promoted and then take a plumb job in the premiership?
His biggest and costliest mistake, which shows a real flaw in his management skills, was the handling of DJ. Instead of integrating into the team and having a Championship quality striker to call on, he:
- loaned him out to a side that he helped to gain promotion to the premiership
- replaced him with Kermorgant and an injury-prone Vaughan
- used his obvious personal dislike to impact adversely on the team
I think that Pearson comes across as a 'good' manager because of his performance on tv/radio when he is interviewed. He sounds reasonably coherent (compared to most of not so eloquent peers) and sensible. In reality, I think the likes of Di Matteo and Martinez are streets ahead of Pearson.
I think Hull will struggle, languishing in mid table, and with it will go Pearson's reputation.
I like the job that Kenny Jackett has done at Millwall on limited resources. The same could also be said for Nigel Adkins (weren't we interested him a few vacancies back?)
Yes, this is most disappointing news. And as others have mentioned the fact that Pearson sees the Hull job as a more secure prospect than that of City is sobering and probably an insight into just how potless we are.
I have no idea who will take over, but if I were a betting man it'd be Dowie. And if that isn't reason to be miserable I don't know what is.
Pearson was waiting for the right offer to come along IMO.
He didnt commit to us after the play off sayin that its up to Leicester where we go from here.
