Strong rumours coming from lcfc that Pearson is lined up to take over possible before Chelsea.
Personally I hope not, just telling what I'm told from friends who are still his friends at Leicester.

You would appear sir to be correct, mike12345 also concurs, (what more proof do you need) i would've liked to see kevin mcdonald given the reins with gordon cowans alongside (brian little apparently hesitant about offering to step in) but it seems the ostrich loving, don't you worry i can take care of myself chappie is to grace us with his good self, i will say this for him (positive) ;, he seems yo be able to spot a good player or two that others don't, i can't see him putting up with the shower we've got there at the moment, so i guess it's into breach one more time, and as usual hope he can turn our fortunes around, i'm sure there's some saying about half a loaf or better the devil you know, but i'm wondering if gabby's vertigo will have gone by april so he can jet off on a well (un) deserved holiday in warmer climbs, do you know i think he might just pull it off! let's all pray that our resident goal machine is back to help us out of strife! after all, i think we all know what he is!

{Ed001's Note - he was not in charge of player recruitment at Leicester. Steve Walsh was the man who brought in the players to get them where they are. Pearson's role was to trust in Walsh's choices.}

Ahoy ed-i bow to your superior knowledge, but someone told me he would use the old managers'old boy network'where they are kind enough to nod a wink about a player who they personally can't take for whatever reason, but may be able to do a job for their 'pal', for example when sherwood wanted the dutch player cherry but we wouldn't pay gbp3.5 million for him he phoned his old mate and hey presto, he's off to qpr!, sorry ed about not clarifying that, but good to see your double lively and on the "ball" (apologies for pun) this time in the morning., i wish guzan had been that bloody lively on saturday! cheers again!

{Ed001's Note - managers do that yes, but he was not making the decisions so all he could have done is suggest them. Just look at Ranieri recently who admitted he was against the signing of Kante because of his height but he was bought anyway. Pearson would have his recommendations but it was not his final decision. Delegation is a skill though, so I would not hold thaf against him. Though I do not see any good transfer market decisions being made at Villa, so he would need to find someone to help him.}}

Feel sorry for Remi, but we must bring somebody in now . We need experienced manager in now, who can sort the squad out . Get rid of the moaners, the shirkers and them who think, because we are so good we don't have to even try . Some so called senior professionals should hang their heads in shame . If only some of the story's we have heard are true, they only professionals because they get paid, not because they have pro attitudes. Some of the kids, would at least bust a gut and go down fighting . We need somebody now to sort this mess out and prepare for the drop . Have said before it's a hard league and if your not ready for it, then your in even more trouble . let's get sorted and be prepared and do what our motto says . Villa for ever.
