Ince is probably Milan's backup plan.

Dread the thought,
I feel Middlesboro with TM, is their equivalent of our blue mongies calling for Steve Walsh, (Red mongies of middlesboro:icon_lol

Not really seeing as TM is a manager and Walshy has spent the last few years sunning it in Spain.

All that - but even though Ince, Adams etc were not yet ready for it, they couldn't resist taking the chance even if it's a bit of a long shot that they will be successful i.e. they only get the chance either with a struggling outfit or one with no money to spend. The same would apply in my opinion if Pearson was given that opporunity.
We have to hope that the eventuality does not arise too quickly.
Unfortunately, it is the eternal paradox of a club in a lower league having a successful manager. You get the benefit of the success, but ultimately lose your main man because of that success.

For ****s sakes. The ink on my Div 3 Champions 2008/2009 and life size Nigel Pearson tattoo isn't even dry yet.

He is still only the fourth best manager we have had since June 1991. :icon_wink

some feckin manc tit got a Kaka tattoo done without waiting to see if the player actually signed, simple folk eh.
Tony Mowbray has to be stronger candidate for this job than Pearson, so hopefully no bad news just yet

I'm getting old Steven, so I'm having great difficulty in working out what that's to do with it.
However, the thing about football club owners is that they have only one time dimension - and that is the immediate present. I hope that Pearson stays and we see how he does in a more challenging league. But all I'm implying is that other owners will see a guy running a winning team and conject if he could be better than their current losing manager, especially if that winning manager has past experience at a higher level and so is not stereotyped as lower division material only.

I don't see why everyone is worried. Ince & Peter ****ing Taylor apart, I can't remember any other manager making the jump to the Premiership from the bottom 2 divisions in recent history. Both have also been flops.
Some would say that De Matteo has done even better than Pearson with what he has acheived at MK Dons this season as could be said with Ferguson at Peterborough, so why not them before Pearson?
When Forest or Swansea went up last season I didn't hear of lots of Premiership clubs wanting to take Calderwood or Martinez away. I would bet that he will be in charge at the start of next season with an improved contract signed in the summer. I should imagine too that he will be on a hefty bonus to get us back at the first time of asking which he would forfeit if he left.

But if Mowbray did leave for the Riverside then I would imagine Pearson would be on WBA's radar as well, and he has connections there as well. Whichever way you look at it, Pearson is going to be linked with jobs at these types of clubs.

In fairness he is a very good lower League manager, just don't let him get near any money in the PL, or the PL. :icon_wink

Or the Blue Square Premier - Managed to balls up Stevenage's attempt to go up last season too.
