If it does end up being Nigel Pearson - I really don't know how happy I would be. Whilst I acknowledge he did an o.k job with the Foxes and got them out of the division and kept them faltering up. I also remember how they led the division for most of the previous season before they crashed and burned. During that couple of months they couldn't buy a win.
I also watched confused over the last three seasons when he swapped centre forward's for no reason. He had Nugent, brought in Chris Martin on loan, then Woods, then Alloa, then the Croatian bloke. It looked like he was just throwing darts about hoping something would stick.
His record prior to Leicester doesn't make exceptional reading either.
I don't know if this is all just excuses though, because at heart I just don't like him much. I've always thought he was a bit arrogant and overly sure of himself. If my memory serves me right he played in that Sheffield Wednesday team created by Howard Wilkinson, another manager i detested.....perhaps that's the deep rooted reason I don't fancy him in the gaffer's chair.
He just ain't Fulham to me....the same way that Sanchez, Magath, Jol were not. Where as Clarke, Warburton, like Tigana, Stock, Adams and Campbell do and were.
If he gets it? I'll back him and support the team. But I don't know that I feel in my heart or my head that he is the right one. I don't know how many more force dawn's I can live with. We really need to get it right this time. Not close but spot on and is Pearson the answer. Really??
Pretty much spot on as to how I feel.
While not a manager I would give my season ticket up over, hes just not a Fulham person in my books.
But while I really dislike what he did last season and in truth dont want him anywhere near the club, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and clean slate personality wise and see what happens.
Although in reality I saw this next appointment as one to define Khan's regime, and feel hes not the right man for it.
I'm completely with you, he doesn't suit us at all and would be much better suited to a club QPR currently. That said, I'd be willing to let him change my opinion by not only winning games but by making an effort to conduct himself with a bit more class. Any new manager should be given the chance to impress, but that doesn't mean Pearson shouldn't worry us.
Campbell? As in Bobby Campbell? Manager from 1976-80?
Deary, deary me! fp.gif
Sadly, appears Jokanovic seems to be falling off the radar. He is the guy who would really get us playing football. And with Kit going, why would we give another rookie (JFH) a go?
Pearson? Along with many - undecided. Not a good fit for FFC.
Not enough to make me give up my ticket but enough to stop me using it
Pearson is something that the club desperately needs right now.
Forget the stuff with the media and look at what he's achieved. He's built the base of the Leicester side that is running away with it in the Premier League. He's made some very good business during his time at Leicester, building a squad that was playing a decent brand of football. They arguably shouldn't have been in the mess they were in their return back to the PL, they were simply unlucky in a lot of fixtures (I watched with a keen eye last season).
Futhermore, he has experience of the Championship with Leicester and with Hull. A 43% managerial career win percentage is very impressive. He also has a knack of building hard-working teams and isn't the type of character to let players stroll about the pitch and offer nothing.
No doubt we have the talent in this squad but they have simply been poorly managed, hence the consistency. Installing Pearson will change that.
It's a great backing and tbh I think whoever gets the job deserves the full backing of the staff. Kit had to go and to the people that want Curbs, he's been out of the game for 7 years - his ideas will be incredibly dated.
Pearson is the best available option for us.
Plus, some of the best managers have had a bad time with the media and sure as heck didn't change them - Fergie and Mourinho both spring mind. Even our Magath was a lunatic, but he was successful in his native country. Just because he's had a bad bit of press doesn't change his managerial experience in this country.
The only other man for the job is arguably Gary Rowett, but doubt he'd leave Birmingham. People who would take risks on JFH, Lee Clark or even Danny Murphy are far too optimistic, just look at Kit Symons reign, we can't take another risk.
Pearson will have to conduct himself in the media as the club want him to. Leave that to the club. Judge him by his performances on the pitch.

While I will still go and give him a clean slate, I expect that slate to be quite busy after half a dozen games.
He has only had success at one club, failed at Carlisle, failed at Southampton and failed at Hull. He may have an impressive record at Leicester but they struggled till the last 8 games last season, and all of a sudden he changed his formation (after a chat with the players) and then they started to win.
If we are having someone who respect values etc. as per Mike Riggs interview then really so not see how Pearson fits, throttling an opposing player, disrespectful and arguing wit the media and more than one foul mothed outburst.
But we will get who we get, not everyone will be happy, but that's life. Pearson is the total opposite of Kit that maybe what we need, but for me there are other better options.

There are better options and my only hope is that we realise that and stay clear of Pearson.
he also had a lot of money at Leicester. All interesting tho.
Must have been Pearson all along. Rigg said that the new manager/coach would have mixed feelings amongst the fans. For me, he's the perfect fit, for where we need to be heading.

The more that I read about Pearson, the more I tend to agree that he's not for us. But, as you say, he may be what we need at the moment. Our players may be in dire need of a swift kick in the backside.
If it is Pearson then you won't see me at The Cottage on Saturday!!

Think we'd all be happy with Moyes, Jokanovic etc...
some wouldn't be Chutney, you know what its like, not everyone is always pleased
What was wrong with Bobby Campbell. Brought in Gerry Peyton, Richard Money, Chris Guthrie, Gordon Davies, John Beck, Peter Marinello. Blooded Margerrison, Greenaway, Tony Gale and loaned Teddy Maybank. We were a good side under him. My second favourite period after Tigana.
moyes was my first choice although a little optimistic but I'm happy enough with Pearson. ok he is shjt with the media but players speak very highly of him and we are not going to win the championship in a press conference

I will give him a clean slate.
But a Leopard doesn't change his spots and Pearson will soon show his true colours.
Still, I'll support him until that day.

Oh dear this is not really going the way we all wanted but as always we will just have to go along with it and give the players our full support and just hope the man turns over a new leaf at the Cottage.

All the bookies are dropping the odds to make Steve Clarke favourite, must be someone putting money on him with them all....
Pearson! Not in a million years for me. Others have posted why, so I will not repeat. I think the club have many other options not the least now David Moyes is available. He wasn't when Mike ran his "Next Manager poll" but he is now. A man with a pedigree, completely trustworthy on honoring his contract, can act on a miserly budget and inspire the players he has, to perform to the utmost of their ability. I admired him when he was at Everton and my father refereed at Everton on many occasions, though obviously not when David was in charge. Whether he would be prepared to join us is completely another matter. Watch this space.

If the Hahas are apparently not considering Pearson why are we going for a second rate Coach/Manager. Surely we should be setting our sights on a better option.
I have said on 2/3 occasions that it does not matter who the manager/coach is, we will have no idea how they will perform until they start. All the wishful thinking with Moyes, yes he could come and he could fail big time, only time will tell on any manager/coach/player.
The only thing definite with me is that whoever comes in i will never stop going.

Every Liverpool manager since the 90's?
Winning promotion to the Premier League & finishing 11th the next year is pony? Yeah, we don't want any part of that. Because...you know...he wears eyeliner, looks like a ferret & he's cocky.
Not convinced with the love in for the media friendly but dull Moyes who would probably think FFC well below his station.Prefer someone with spine and an honest opinion- but probably an old fashioned pre wimp opinion.

I would go for Jokanovic in a heartbeat but seems unlikely. My objection to Pearson is not that he seems to be a rather unpleasant individual, but that his track record is more failure than success by quite a long margin. I am concerned that he was a one trick pony.

I don't know what O'Hara did
But to make it clear I would prefer Warnock or Redknapp to Pearson and I loathe all 3 of them. But unlike some on this board I can mention, I will support and back them 100% whoever gets the job even if I am not at the ground. I personally do not think that means anyone supports the team less if they cannot get to, afford to or don't want to go to the ground

Martinez left after the 08/09 season for Wigan. Paulo Sousa managed the club for the 09/10 season then left for Leicester that summer. Rodgers took over & guided them to promotion (via the playoff) at the first time of asking (10/11 season).
I don't know that I'd say it was Martinez's team. Rodgers & Swans added leading scorer Scott Sinclair as well as Neil Taylor, Leon Britton and Luke Moore who played significant roles.
I don't see why fans can give managers dog's abuse but if they respond in kind they are crucified. They are only human.
Then the spat with the journo - well, he was again provoked, I think.
For me, Pearson has done little wrong re these incidents.
He seems a man of passion, and has good experience. Seems a good shout for Fulham manager to me.

The spat I heard with Pat Murphy of the BBC was unprovoked he just asked a question and Pearson went of on one, he may have had a hard time elsewhere but even so doesn't make it right. It will be interesting to see if it is Pearson, sky seem to be promoting him so everyone thinks it is him, that will make people bet and then the odds change, similar to the sun promoting Clarke yesterday and now he is in at 1/3 all very good for bookies etc.
I cant see why if we are getting an unemployed manager why it has taken so long, doesn't matter as some of the squad were on international duty and some given a few days off, so tomorrow would be the first full day with them anyway. The delay to me makers me think we are or were looking at an employed manager and maybe now something has changed

What a silly comment, been a supporter for 38 years love the club and always will do, but I can support the club without having to go to the cottage and not use my season tickets, that's my choice as it is the clubs who they appoint, and as I have said on numerous occasions whoever gets the job will get my support 100% however I do not need to go the ground to do this.
Yeah, he's definitely not a Fulham type of guy, and would be a blemish personality wise on our managerial record. However, if he is named as the man in charge, what can we do? I'm really not in favour of him, but if it happens, I'll still listen in weekly, and still pay for my ticket when I'm in London - as I did with Mark Hughes and as I did with Martin Jol (though I liked Jol even if a bit hopeless).
He probably could and probably will take us to the Premier League; since settling down as a manager he's seen success really - kept Southampton in the Championship, 18 months at financially struggling Hull around winning League One with Leicester in his first spell and then a play off spot and then winning the Championship in his second.
Since the pace has picked up on his potential appointment, I feel it important to have a look at the mechanics of his sides under his tutorship - a fairly classic 442, with a bigger striker accompanying a smaller one (Nugent and Vardy, Ulloa and Vardy, Howard and Fryatt), with two hard working comfortable central midfielders (Cambiasso, James, Drinkwater, Cleverly, King, Danns), and two wingers beating their man and getting balls in the box (Knockaert, Mahrez, Dyer, Marshall, Schlupp, Albrighton) and then two centre backs up for a physical battle (Huth, Wasilewski, Morgan, Moore, Hobbs, Morrison).
He doesn't shy away from the younger players to be fair; Michael Morrison was plucked from non-league at 20 and played at centre back as they won League One, Jack Hobbs (his centre back partner) was 21 at the time. He gave 20 year old Andy King his first full season in the professional game, Martyn Waghorn was taken on loan at 19 and signed at 20; Kasper Schemichel hasn't looked back since Pearson made him his number one at Leicester. Liam Moore at 20, was his centre back with Wes Morgan as Leicester romped to the title; Jeff Schlupp has been brought through largely by Pearson (though debut from Sven); Danny Drinkwater and Matty James was his central midfield when he took them up at 23 and 22.
So it's not all bad. I'm sure he'd do well, he just isn't Fulham I agree.
a question to those willing to stop going to games if Pearson gets the job. how can you support a team and just because you don't like the manager not go to games?
as an irish Fulham fan I would be at every game rain or shine if I could, I spend every game huddled around my computer listing to the commentary and to see people saying they won't go because of one man I just can't see why. it's not Pearson fc it's Fulham fc suck it up and go cheer the lads on no matter what.

I don't like what he stands for that simple to me and would not want my lad around when he lose sit on the side-lines and throttles another player or lays into another fan, provoked or not its just not acceptable.
I have a season ticket and will get one every year, but that also gives me the right to go if I want of if I don't. can support the club from afar like a lot of people do. You don't have to go to games to be a fan
I'd be surprised if Rodgers went to a Championship side. But if he's open to the idea, I hope we go for him. He'd be a great fit. I'd be very excited to have him here.

I assume you mean the next home game and normally you would attend?
He's not my cup of tea either but your comment suggests something stronger?
Look! He clearly showed himself up last season under the full glare of the football media but none of it was a crime and his sons distasteful actions was his own business not his fathers.
Unless I'm missing something I can't see why you are so affronted because it suggests your really not much of a fan?
I can honestly say it would take a big swing in his actions to get me into the cottage to watch if he took over
Then I say the same to you!
What a joke comment, been a supporter for 38 years love the club and always will do, but I can support the club without having to go to the cottage and not use my season tickets, that's my choice as it is the clubs who they appoint, and as I have said on numerous occasions whoever gets the job will get my support 100% however I do not need to go the ground to do this.
Maybe I've misunderstood but is it all down to if the club employs this man or not that you will or will not attend matches?
I'm confused by your statement, if he gets the job you will give him 100% support but if he's appointed it will offend you so much you will not attend any matches?
That's a shame not a joke.

He appears to be of the lunatic fringe like Warnock and Pulis with their anger management issues. Let's hope that the delay means perhaps that Moyes is being persuaded to come to the Cottage. He is a big name and if he did come here it would mean he's been assured that every assistance will be given to make a successful team.

Perhaps ,with Rigg breathing down his neck, Pearson may manage a little more self control and become a better at man management.

having read alot of people's views on him over the last 10 days, not many have had issues with his football or his chances of getting us up so if it does end up being him I'd be more than positive questions have been asked about his attitude and he would have to give the club guarantees he has turned himself around and is not going to make the same mistakes again......i hope. still holding out for moyes until it's announced officially.

Swearing at a fan and laying hands on an opposition player; nobody's saying these things are acceptable from a manager, but are they really so bad that they're unforgivable? Pearson says he's not proud of these incidents and wants to move on, can't we all give him a chance to do that?
Take these few unsavoury moments out of the equation and surely we have to agree he's the best realistic appointment out there, with exactly the resume we need; multiple Play-Offs, a Championship title and Premier League survival.
Of all the hundreds of people I have worked with over the years, practically all of them have been reasonable individuals......until the pressure is on. Then you find out what they are really like.
In the OP's scenario, my guess is that all will be smooth sailing until the time inevitably comes when he feels under pressure. Then, I hope, he will say to himself: "I'm acclimatised to this" and shrug it off. Do it in the way Mr Allardyce did when West Ham had no defenders and were getting trounced every week - with dignity and respect for the fans who were suffering too. If he can do this he could be a formidable manager for us and weather the storm.
Alternatively, he might find new and ingenious ways to act erratically when under pressure. He has plenty of "previous" in that regard.
We'd be taking a risk appointing him. That's true of any appointment. Trouble is I'm not sure the odds are good on this one. People over the age of thirty find it very hard to change much. Nigel Pearson is fifty two.

TO be honest the songs are very few and far between and most fans are quite decent with the language when kids are around and I have mentioned it to people at times as well and they have apologised

What was wrong with Bobby Campbell. We were a good side under him.
What was wrong? Could it be that we were a second-tier club with aspirations of promotion when he became manager and in the lower reaches of the third-tier when he departed?
I'm surprised that you have Pearson and Campbell in different camps. In my opinion, Pearson has much in common with Bobby: hard-nosed and steely; won't take being messed about. Heck, he even looks like Bobby!
I agree that Campbell brought some fine players to the Club. Yet he never seemed to get the best out of them on a consistent basis. After the first few months of the 77-78 season when we were in and around the promotion places, we suffered a gradual decline that saw us relegated in 1980. (And Campbell's popularity, not unexpectedly, declined with our form.) After a ropey start to life in the old Third Division, I don't think any of our (dwindling) band of supporters (apart from your good self, I guess) shed any tears when he was shown the door.

I take it you don't play Sunday football? or at least, your son has never watched you play?
For the record, I can't stand Pearson and would consider not bothering using my tickets myself but at 11 your son is likely to see and hear worse in the playground, especially seeing as Pearson would be on a warning about his behaviour/under a psychiatrist/medication if he was employed by us.
Talks have broken down with Pearson..... so essentially he has failed his interview! What are the odds he told the receptionist to "**** off and die" and tried to wrestle Rigg to the floor?

If it is Pearson then you won't see me at The Cottage on Saturday!!
:Get Coat gif:
I assume you mean the next home game and normally you would attend?
He's not my cup of tea either but your comment suggests something stronger?
Look! He clearly showed himself up last season under the full glare of the football media but none of it was a crime and his sons distasteful actions was his own business not his fathers.
Unless I'm missing something I can't see why you are so affronted because it suggests your really not much of a fan?
I can honestly say it would take a big swing in his actions to get me into the cottage to watch if he took over
Then I say the same to you!
What a joke comment, been a supporter for 38 years love the club and always will do, but I can support the club without having to go to the cottage and not use my season tickets, that's my choice as it is the clubs who they appoint, and as I have said on numerous occasions whoever gets the job will get my support 100% however I do not need to go the ground to do this.
Maybe I've misunderstood but is it all down to if the club employs this man or not that you will or will not attend matches?
I'm confused by your statement, if he gets the job you will give him 100% support but if he's appointed it will offend you so much you will not attend any matches?
That's a shame not a joke.
It is a shame for me yes, but it silly to suggest that I am not much of a fan.
I have the right to go or not and still be a fan, I have 2 season tickets but will not expose my son to potential actions like he has had in the past, it snot correct for young children to see or hear such actions. If he has a big swing in his actions then I will go but it would be a big swing. I am thinking as a parent not as a fan on this, my bigger priority is my son
I really don't want to waste our time continuing with all this but how old is your son and whereabouts do you sit?
he is 11 and we sit right near the dugouts
I take it you don't play Sunday football? or at least, your son has never watched you play?
For the record, I can't stand Pearson and would consider not bothering using my tickets myself but at 11 your son is likely to see and hear worse in the playground, especially seeing as Pearson would be on a warning about his behaviour/under a psychiatrist/medication if he was employed by us.
I used to play Leon, but gave up once my son turned 5. As for school that is something I cannot control as I have to send him, but if he came home and started swearing etc and saying that's what we say at school then I would make a complaint for sure. Maybe prudish or whatever people wish to call it, but I have an obligation to bring up my children in the best way I can and that's what I will do.
I have no issue with Pearson's management style just his past behavioural record (I personally th8ink coaching wise better than Clarke, but there were better options than both out there), as someone says its when the pressure is on how will he handle it again, leopards very rarely change their spots.

Fair enough, and you of course have the right to bring your son up how you see fit, which seems to be with high morals. I totally respect that but if you sat next to him and explained that throttling someone whilst calling them a C word was wrong whilst Pearson was kicking 7 bells out of someone I'd hope that he listened to you rather than tried it out on you once you got home lol.
agree Leon so would I, and thanks for seeing my view point. al looks quite a mute point right now though
