Here's a hypothetical, would you all swap Kasper for someone like Vorm if he became available? It's a similar (albeit hypothetical) scenario. Kasper's doing fine and I'm happy for him to be between the sticks but if you've got the opportunity to improve your team, and someone like Vorm would be a step up, you'd be foolish not to consider it. It's harsh on Pearson, as it would be on Kasper, but the fact remains Redknapp is a better manager than Pearson is and probably ever will be. Ok some people don't like him because they see him as the reason Pompey went down the pan, but he's been successful time and time again and he's not the same as Sven who has arguably been in managerial decline for a long while. He's still very much at the top of his game.
I personally don't think Redknapp would ever come here, but if he wanted to, I'd be considering paying off Nigel and risk rocking the applecart because I think it could potentially be a much better option, especially if we got promoted. I'd much rather have a manager with bags of premier league experience than one with none whatsoever, at the start of a Premier League campaign.
Don't take this the wrong way (I'm pretty sure quite a lot of you will). I'm not saying I want it to happen. At this stage of the season, I'm happy with Pearson but I wouldn't be too indifferent if it happened or if it didn't.
