Surely this now means we were correct to show patience and not just pay Hull whatever they demanded last week?

It looks that way, I'm glad we held out and didn't give in to their demands. Hopefully NP will now have a decent amount of time before sundays game!

Wow, Pearson back at Leicester.

I didn't see this shock announcement coming

This now from the BBC -

"A deal to bring Hull City manager Nigel Pearson back to Leicester City should be completed by Tuesday, reports BBC Radio Leicester."

To make this complete, I would now quite like Nigel Pearson to arrive in Leicester via Matt Baker's Children in Need rickshaw. But perhaps that's just me.

I like it - maybe a sort of triumphal re-entry, through a tunnel formed by corner flags held aloft, sabre-like, by the City squad, maybe.

And Paul the bugler playing the post horn gallop?

Absolutely. And the Birch strewing rose petals in his path, while Craig Shakespeare whispers "Remember, you are only human..." in his ear.....

Which general do you think he's a reincarnation of, MallingFox?

"My name is Nigellus Maximus Iratus, commander of the Armies of the Blue, General of the Vulpes Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Topus Orientales. Father to a neglected 4-4-2 formation, husband to a murdered three-year Premiership campaign. And I will have my revenge, in this life or the next."

I AM PEARSON! apologices to the other 299!
