POLL - Who do you want to be our next manager?

[Grumpy Old Man]

If the rumoured structure involving SpD, TD or both is coming, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that the next manager will be Nigel Pearson.

 

[Howard the Duck]

For those voting for Pearson ponder his recent management record for a while. He did a very good job at Leicester and produced some excellent results initially in his short period at Watford. However his two jobs between The Foxes and The Hornets were five months and three wins at Derby and eighteen months with a win rate of 32.1% in Belgium.

I keep banging on about it but I have my suspicions that Pearson and Shakespeare are like MON and Robertson or Clough and Taylor.

I may be wrong but I don't think he had Shakespeare at Derby or in Belgium. He was obviously at Watford and Leicester with him.

Shakespeare's now apparently enjoying his time at Villa so there's no way I could see him coming here with Pearson. For that reason alone I'd steer clear.

Presumably that structure is in place at Watford?

 

[Kenna]

I voted Campbell because if Eddie Howe stands a chance then Campbell does too.

 

[CatRyan]

Pearson form the list, I doubt he'd come & I doubt we could afford him

my choice to as the question was whom do we want, not whom shall we get

And he was sacked after six months.

Looking at his stats, Leicester is the only club at which he's had a full time job with a win rate of more than 36%. Leicester is the outlier, not the typical

Pearson 43%? I’m shocked

Pearson 43%? I’m shocked

Taking Leicester out, he's a very average manager.

I have changed my vote after reading your analysis.

Leicester had a SD/TD/DOF when Pearson was there didn’t they? For at least his last 2 seasons (I’m not sure if they had anyone in before Terry Robinson who was appointed in summer 2013)

Looks like Sol has 6 accounts on here

 

[doodlebugs]

They had this with Parkinson. He had something like 1.5% out of thousands of votes

They’re not going to pay any attention to an SMB poll. They should do mind

they probably do then do the exact opposite,just to piss supporters off even more

 

[Dodgy]

I must admit I do like his 'we're gonna score 1 more than you' philosophy.

I can see a slight flaw in this plan, here.

 

[TDalt]

Well it’s obvious who the people’s choice is, so expect Graham Alexander posing with a scarf later this afternoon.

No idea mate, but every interview screams a man who believes there are two ways of doing things - his way and the wrong way.

Not quite, but he got 14 out of 659 votes. Hardly a popular choice. But what do us fans know?

 

[Alcoholic_Author]

Nigel Pearson, seriously?

 

[rubberface]

He's like Marmite. He would have our fans up in arms with his attitude after a defeat and sarky comments.

You go Pearson?
