 I cannot see them escaping the drop with Pearson in charge. They have a horrendous run up to Christmas starting with Roy's C Palace tomorrow

Probably not but I always thought that he was a good manager. He built the Leicester team before Ranieri took over and we all know how great he was!

exactly that, he doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for that. Didn't he win something like 8 out of the last 9 games with them too

He hasn't had much success in Holland over the last couple of years, in fact I think he got sacked from his last managers job.

[Woolly Mammoth]

I wish him luck, he will need it as Watford have a shocking record of sacking managers after they choose to employ them in the first place, perhaps their Board should change their strategy and try keeping their Manager and sack themselves.
I also agree that Pearson did not get the credit he was due at Leicester.

Even if he goes down with them you'd expect him to mount a strong challenge to come straight up again. For the same reason I felt we should have kept Slavisa albeit he would have been out of contract.
