Nigel Pearson

He wasn’t top of my list but that’s the nearest I’ve ever come to being snobby 😆😆

Not sure if his contract is just until the end of the season , if so it wouldn’t shock me Watford didn’t sign him up .

I’m not convinced we’d be able to entice him with our transfer budget though .
 
I wanted him before Monk, I wanted him in the summer too.
There's no guarantee that he'd do as well here, and he's done a brilliant job at Watford whether they stay up or not, but I'm sure we'd not be on course to be relegated under him.
 
Yep, Pearson & Shakespeare have been my choice for ages now.. knows the league & how to play.

With Shakespeare they seem to work well together.

Can't see him wanting to join us now, if not Watford I think as a duo they'll get a PL or good championship team.
 
He’d certainly be My choice now , I think he’d bring more out of the players we’ve got just like AK did . Our best chance of getting him would be if he keeps Watford up and they move on the some foreign manager . If they end up relegated I think theyl definitely keep him on .
It’s not the best time for a new manger but I’d bring April the cleaner out of retirement to replace woody .

Yeah, I remember the old board; lots of posters turning their noses up at him. Would have had him in a heart beat but probably a bit too headstrong for Gibson. He likes his managers young, inexperienced (Pulis the exception) and malleable.
 
I wonder where we would be right now if NP had been appointed? I wonder if the young lads would have made the breakthrough? I wonder if we would have signed Bola, Dijksteel, Browne etc....I suppose we'll never know
 
You know, I'd forgotten all about Dijksteel! Strange how he never gets a mention whenever Wooden Head gives us injury updates. Is he out for the season? Has he been wiped from our collective memory?!
 
Wasn't he linked along with the likes of Jovanovic (ex-Fulham). To think "all roads led to Jonathan".

He mentioned him all the time.
He's no longer injured.

He played 60 minutes for the U23s on Friday.

Yep, the word is that we spoke to Jokanovic but after scouring the football globe, Gibson decided that the answer was at the other end of a power point demonstration. 'I give you Mr Gibson, a free scoring, high pressing game with contributions from my main targets Bola and Dijksteel, and the bullets to be supplied by Marcus Browne who was a star at Oxford'. Jobs a good un!
 
Yay another player he can use instead of Spence

People are overselling the impact Spence had, he had 2 or 3 good games and was average at best for the rest.
He should have been starting recently, in my eyes, but his absence is not the reason we've been rubbish.
