I just can't believe you are dismissing her out of hand. Perhaps her best days are behind her (she was one of the best in the 80's) but she still has plenty to offer at championship level.

Sure, she plays with 3 centre backs and likes to lump it up front to a target man, but we'd grind out results, and isn't that what's important?

Perhaps we could get any of the S Club 7 girls to have us playing pretty triangle patterns in midfield, but we have neither the personnel, nor the funds in which to create a footballing side and we'd get ripped to bits by more physical teams.

You call me backwards thinking, I submit to you that you are being very naive.

Bring in Madge!

Pity. Oh well, thanks Nigel and all the best to you. A very good manager Hull Shitty have acquired.

 

[Willlow]

Am I the only one who thinks this is a very very bad thing? Everyone just seems to be ok with losing the best managerial team we have had in the last 10 years.

I wonder if it will be the same once King, Fryatt, Hobbs, Morrisson and Wellens are sold?

Chairman Milan Mandaric said: "We were greatly surprised to receive the initial approach from Hull.

"Nigel has done a fantastic job for us and it would have been wrong of us to deny him the opportunity to speak to another club if he wished.

"After speaking to him, we have reluctantly agreed that if he wished to pursue this opportunity at Hull, we would permit it.

Thats the bit that gets me, if Milan really wanted to keep him he would have denied permission and Nigel would have to then resign. There is more to this than meets the eye as has been mentioned on the other thread. How many other clubs during the season asked to speak to Nigel I wonder and what did Milan tell them, yeah Feck off, so why this time has he allowed it.

J'agree.

Where are you getting your info from? I hadn't realised anyone had made offers for these players. Surely you're not dealing in conjecture and speculation? That would be ridiculous.

It's a terrible thing for the club, but what are we supposed to do as fans? Moping about won't fix a thing.

We are not a part of the club beyond as a revenue stream. All we can really do is witness the goings on, not shape them.

Isnt that what all of us deal in on here?

From another site

Pearson, 46, has swapped roles from Leicester City after a compensation package of around £350,000 was agreed. The ex-Middlesbrough assistant manager led the Midlands outfit to the play-offs last season and will now look to go one step further with his new side.

Is this enough to tempt another team to let go of their manager?

Swansea might want more, so might any other decent Championship Club.

And yes reality check here Pearsoff wants his players and Hull have some money to spend, we are short of money and need cash possibly to keep going from some sources. So yes he'll be back for some of the players he has brought through in the past 2 years that is a pint of reality for us all to swallow I am afraid.

Either way we'd of end up without a manager.

A lot of clubs do have the attitude of "if you don't want to be here then go" now days.

True, why would we want that pesky compensation money.

Oh yeah and end up with another MON situation, that would have been smart.

I say Pearson **** off and die, you nottinghamshire ****!

I wonder if you will still be saying this in Feb after our team has been dismantled by MM and we are firmly in the relegation zone. :icon_lol:

 

[mowbray-fox]

i'm absolutely gutted that it's finally been confirmed, best manager since MON by miles. i say goodbye with a heavy heart but still thank him and wish him all the best in the future.

Glad to see your posts are as intelligent as ever.

Pearsoff

Please don't do this to us, just stop it now.
I'm cringing so much, I'm in pain

I am amazed with all the good wishes that people are offering him. I wish him nothing but the worst and I would most definitely boo him if I was there when he returned.

We are in a financially perilous position. This is not exactly breaking news. Almost all, if not every team in the Cahampionship are in dire straits financially. We got relegated to League 1 and had to suffer the obvious economic consequences. We failed to win promotion this past season and so did not benefit from those economic advantages. How exactly is it Milan Mandaric's or Les Hoos's fault that we do not have a pot to piss in?

Nigle Pearson did a very good job for us. He got us up at the first time of asking from League 1 and took us to a position in the Championship that was certianly far beyond my realistic expectations. However, did he do this alone or did he do this with the help of Milan Mandaric and the LCFC board? I would argue that the relative success of the past two seasons is in no small part down to Milan Mandaric.

In Pearson's time at the club, Milan has not been his usual media-friendly rent-a-quote self. He has stayed in the background and made veey few media appearances. He has not interfered with the team and player recruitment in the way that he did when Martin Allen was here. He has backed Pearson in the transfer market. Have we spent 5 or even 2 million on one player, no. However, we have brought in the likes of Tunchev and Hobbs on permanent contracts and he has financed countless Premier League loanees, who presumably were on Premier League wages. It can't have been cheap having, Cleverley, Spearing, Vaughan, Solano etc on the wage bill. Not to mention the added wages of players like Nielsen and McGivern - two players who belonged nowhere near our club, let alone our first team. (I would love Robbie Nielson to prove me worong.)

Someone said that Milan should have refused him permission to talk to Hull and made him resign if he wanted to leave. Let him resign and lose out on 400,00 compensation - that really would be bad financial management on the part of the board. And what about forcing a manager to stay who does not want to be at our club. The same people who are saying we should refused him permission are likely the same people who were saying we should get rid of DJ Campbell because he does want to be at our club. Speaking of Campbell, maybe we can now keep him and bring in a manager who can get the best out of him. Holloway, Allen, Bruce and even Nigel Clough have all managed where Pearson failed in that regard.

Perhaps if Pearson had not totally conceded the first leg of the Play-Off semi-final to Cardiff and cost us the tie, we may have made it to Wembley and made it to the Premier League and he could have managed a club with some money in the bank.

Why do people keep ignoring the role Wayne Brown played in the first leg defeat!
