NFR Nigel Pearson

[The Swan]

 According to Radio Five Live today they said that Villa will sack Garde and get Nigel Pearson as their new manager.
He will do well with Villa and I think he will get them promoted next season.
Were we to quick in not giving him a chance to manage us.

He made such a big deal about his coaches going with him and they obviously refused to leave Leicester. I'm not denying that he must be a good manager but surely the way Leicester have pushed on shows how much of their success was down to coaching.

Is it a poosibility Pearson knew that hence why he tried to get them to go where he signed. If Villa don't have the same standard of coaching I don't think they will go back up. Certainly not with the current squad they have. Even we got to 31 points. They don't look like even getting 20

[HatterDon]

villa are plain awful. They'll struggle more next season than we're struggling now.

He's being linked to Middlesbrough as well in case Kiranka has another training ground strop.

[St Eve]

Pearson would have been a good choice for us

[Snibbo]

Personally I think he's a drama queen. It will end in tears for Villa.

[MJG]

Pearson without his coaches is like Samson without his hair

[18stepsup]

Why why why

[MikeW]

I think there must be a bit of baggage with Pearson.  Otherwise he would surely have been snapped up by now?

[Slaphead in Qatar]

If he goes to villa he needs his head examining. It's a managers graveyard as long as Lerner is there.

Speculation. For all the Pulis haters on here, if we hired him we would not have been relegated from the premier. Just saying, speculation.

I'm happily in the Pulis hater camp.

Proud badge holder and 100% guaranteed non attendee should he ever be given any key to Fulham Football club

Would have been a brave, ill-advised appointment... Not just for the brand of football he is associated with, but also for those who remember him from his Gillingham days, when he seemed to encourage the chants being made by their supporters about the fatal stabbing of one of our own.

Nigel Pearson is a bellend.

[St Eve]

But a more successful bellend than our last few managers or should I say coaches

[Woolly Mammoth]

If Nigel Pearson had been appointed Manager to replace Kit, then I am convinced not only would the team be out of the relegation zone, the players would be playing with a lot more pride and discipline and confidence.
