I wonder how those who hate Pearson because he's stubborn, would feel if we appointed Alan Pardew because our owners weren't willing to swallow their pride and reappoint an infinitely better candidate for the job.

He has been approached to see if he knows anyone decent to manage Leicester lol

Hopefully they've leaked talking to Pardew so the fans see Pearson's appointment in a better light. If we appoint Pardew I will genuinely find it hard to follow our club with an ounce of interest, the man is an utter idiot who thinks he's some sort of media savvy LAD with bags of credentials. He's lucky to even be considered for Premier League jobs after the state he left Newcastle and Palace in.

Shakespeare may be a 'hidden gem'.

Knows the team well, and knows the team's strengths and weaknesses.

I believe somewhat he and Ranieri didn't get on 100% as some claim due to Ranieri not willing to change anything despite Shakespeare's advice/suggestions.

The more I think about it the more I'm inclined to keep Shakey.

 

He's clearly got the right temperament. The FA had him in the England set up so he's obviously got the ability. He can handle the pressure. He's got the respect of the players. He's very 'hands on'.

 

 

He's got a lot of ticked boxes, only "experience" remains unchecked.

I wouldn't be against Shakespeare taking over til the end of the season and with a review after that. These are special circumstances. Our title team was so well bonded and Shakespeare was a part of that bond. If they've indicated that they'd like him in charge I can't imagine anyone else would have a greater short-term impact, and that's what's needed just now.

 

He's indicated that he'd like the job and feels capable of doing the job. I don't see too much downside compared with appointing a perhaps non-ideal manager in haste and the importance of restoring stability quickly.  

 

People keep going on about widespread changes but we simply don't have the right replacements available. Certainly it's worth involving people like Gray and Ndidi but anyone believing they're the human equivalent of the Holy Grail is misguided. Both are a long way from being a finished article.

With the Sky cameras there tonight I propose a few mask wearing notebook holding fans dotted around to get speculation going. In rank order of likelyhood -

 

Mancini

Pearson

Pardew

Lennon (Neil)

Lennon (John)

Lord Lucan

Rusty Lee

Alan Curbishley (Always the bridesmaid never the bride in these things)

I believe whoever the owners appoint will be the right man...their record is 2nd to none....got us out of the championship, won the premier league and still in the KO stages of the Champions League...yes i know we are in the bottom 3,but i trust them to get us out of it by the end of the season

**** that. If we've sacked the nicest man in football to replace him with an incompetent weapon like pardew then I despair.

My no.1 choice right now would be NP. Based on his knowledge of the playing staff, and theirs of him, and knowledge of the club, i think he'd be best equipped to turn it around in what is a short period of time. I actually don't care about his arrogant attitude, it's all part of his character, the same one that defends his players, he's old school but the right player will buy into that and run through brick walls for him. He's a PR disaster though, and will be difficult for the owners to appoint i imagine. If not him then Shakey would get my vote. None of the others particularly inspire me, or give me confidence of keeping us up.

Oh yes they would.

For every fan of Pearson like yourself there's at least another out there that would thow their season ticket away.

and these would be exactly the same people who questioned whether we were Pearson fans or Leicester fans and to support the club whatever lol

Short term options are only ever any good if it's both agreed it's a short term option like Hiddink at Chelsea. Getting Hodgson in until the summer is basically, get him in and if he keeps us up the owners will think he's done well and then he'll get a 3 year deal and we're no better off except for still being a PL club but with a manager most of us don't want long term. The short term options really should be from short term specialists.

I think it would take a change of owners to get Pearson back

Not until he's had another 5 years showing that he's good, he's on a poor run currently, too familiar territory for what we need

Our search for a manager is as disorganised as our recruitment policy. How do you go from Mancini and Hiddink, to Pearson, to Pardew, to two up and coming young Portuguese managers. 

 

Not one is similar to the other. What exactly is the policy on a candidate here? Sit down as a board and ask yourselves what do you want the club philosophy to be. Establish a criteria. Than, set about listing a set of candidates. Why do we do things so unprofessionally each time.
