Wes Tender Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 I'd love it. Just what we need, a manager that shouts at the players, is disciplined, will get them fit, earn their respect, knows the division and how to get out of it. Isn't that right, Nineteen Canteen?

Mole Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 There is no man better for the job than Big Nigel Pearson. He's such a good manager and knows L1 and the players needed. Mr Liebherr it'd be money well invested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 According to the people who slated Pearson, anyone can get a team with money promoted from League 1.

So according to some on here we can hire any monkey and the playoffs will be a certainty. Or maybe Pearson is actually a good manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Not with the -10 as well. Take 10 points off Leicester and they would come 3rd. 1 point away from 2nd and automatic promotion.

Turkish Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 What on earth did Pearson do to become the messiah?!!?!?!? Quite right, yes he did an okay job for us and has done well at Leciester in a divison that the manager of Romsey Town could guide out of (apparantly) but compare his record to Wottes and its pretty similar and it could be argued Wotte took over a worse team, in a greater decline and had no money to bring in experienced loans unlike Pearson (Daily, Luketti, That striker cant remember his name who was abolsute pony) .

Running Man Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 We all know what a **** Milan is to work for - this story may have legs. Pearson was loved down here and he may think he has unfinished business to attend to... If he has fallen out with Mad Milan, Saint would be a very attractive option for him. I'm sure he'd also love re-joining up with AO who must be the life and soul of every party (just joking). My top three would be: Nigel Pearson Alan Curbishley - if he still has the hunger Mark Stimson - definitely an up and coming manager who will have the Gills near the top this season I think any of them would do well for us.

Not at all, for your information i liked Pearson, this he is/would be a good long term choice and wouldn't be disapointed to see him back, just making the point that a few on here seem to have rose tinted glasses when it comes to him and ignore the facts.

Turkish Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Wotte P w D L Pts Avergage PPG 18 4 7 7 19 1.05 Pearson P W D L Pts Average PPG 14 3 7 4 16 1.14 So if Pearson had continued at the average PPG he would have managed 18 games and achieve 20 points. One more than Wotte when Wotte had tougher circumstances to work in. Administration, worse team, relegation confirmed by 10 point deduction, dont forget he also tried to bring in some experience loan signings (which Pearson was able to do) but was unable to due to the financial constraints. We weren't relegated because of Wotte, we were relegated because of the boards gamble on the kids and the 6 or so months of crap before Wotte came in under JP. When the board did finally agree the kids experiement wasn't working it was to little to late but JP isnt blameless either as his tactics were poor and it was clear a few weeks into the season that one up front was never going to work, especially at home. Wotte and Pearsons records are very very similar, fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

um pahars Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Such as the fact that Wotte did a comparable job in more difficult circumstances. Comparable, apart from the fact that as a part of the Revolutinary Coaching Set Up he delivered less than a point a game. And then comparable, apart from presiding over relegation and delivering a points per game return that if replicated over a full season would have seen us relegated. Pearson was no superstar, but Wotte failed to even match those "low" standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
