JP's reasoning?

We've suffered Pulis - he's failed to move us on and he will be sacked.

(Can't remember Pearson being HC, only on the coaching staff)

Cox - do want Clarke back then?

I don't base my decisions based purely on stats so no. I've said several times on here that Pearson would be my choice.

Baggieman - we've had Clarke. We've had Mel. We've had Pearson. We've had Robson. We've had Irvine. We've had Di Matteo. We nearly had Sherwood. They all tried to play attractive football. They all failed. They all got sacked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We've had Pearson? He was just an assistant.

Nigel Pearson's record as Caretaker at Albion was played 4, won 3, drew 1, lost none!

That's a 75% win percentage!

Also, he wasn't sacked. He stepped down!

OK guys - some poetic licence on my part about Pearson. The perception is that he knows what he is doing. However most of last season he was everybody's favourite for the sack. His 75% record at the Albion cut no ice with Peace.
Ranieri certainly did things with Leicester that he couldn't do.
You seem to like betting Cox. I am prepared to bet you that Pearson will get sacked from his next job in football management.
Pulis is almost unique. His talent for getting the best out of ordinary players is unmatched.

Al, I agree. It's likely Pearson will get sacked from his next job but don't most managers get sacked?

Much of Leicester's success is based on what Pearson did. I'm sure Claudio would give him plenty of credit. Ranieri has built on that success rather than started it.

Pulis is unique indeed. Uniquely defensive. His talent is for making teams very hard to score against but he's tactically inept at creating 'good' attacking football.

Agreed Cox and you are right Pearson does deserve a lot of credit for his work at Leicester and was sacked through no fault of his own.
I appreciate Pulis' football is hard to watch and it does irritate me (as I'm sure it does Peace) that there have been several bad buys. However I believe it is possible we could get bought next summer but only if we are still in the Premier League. If more funds come into the club it could improve our prospects of staying up for the next few years.
Incidentally Cox - it's high time you changed your name!

You're right Al, my name's totally out of date. Not sure how I go about changing it or what too at the moment.

On a lighter note:

OK Al. In honour of our glorious manager, i shall from this moment on be known as Pulisaurus!
