Re: Leicester sack Pearson
wiki says four years, guardian says three. Suspect its the latter.

Re: Leicester sack Pearson
I can see why Lennon would go to Leicester - not sure I fully understand why Leicester would go for Lennon. Lennon has not even proved himself as a championship manager yet - let alone a premiership one... he'd be a huge gamble...
Re: Leicester sack Pearson
According to ESPN (though with no actual quotes at all)..
Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon would welcome the chance to be considered for the vacant manager's position at his former club Leicester City, sources have told ESPN.

Re: Leicester sack Pearson
indeed - but some do have a track record... it's only a feeling - but I am thinking that their experience with Pearson might make them more risk-averse. The fact that someone once played for you as a club-favourite player isn't much of a guarantee of managerial success (see items listed undwer Owen Coyle! )boltonboris wrote:I don't get this..

of course - you could argue all day long whether managing Celtic is in anyway equivalent to a Premiership track record - maybe it is - maybe it isn't - but I doubt managing Celtic is anything like managing Leicester struggling at the wrong end of the division...

Re: Leicester sack Pearson
Leicester have approached Guus Hiddink apparently, but Lennon is 'being considered'.

Leicester have no manager but are making a record bid for Charlie Austin.

Yep. I always wonder about these things. Along with "player ecruitment managers/directors".jaffka wrote:Leicester have no manager but are making a record bid for Charlie Austin.

I reckon George Graham being caught with his hands in the till probably woke a few chairmen up.throwawayboltonian wrote:It seems like the days of managers being given a budget, sending scouts out and then signing players are all but done (depending on the club at least). It now all seems to be handled at a level above, or independent of the manager, and they now just submit transfer targets to whoever is handling it. All of these directors only seem to have come about in the past few years too; I wonder what brought about this fad?bobo the clown wrote:Yep. I always wonder about these things.

Re: Leicester sack Pearson
If you were the manager of a club. Coaching the players, selecting tactics and responsible for results and some geezer wombles up to you and says "hey, hi ... I've just bought this guy for you" what would your reaction be if you didn't fancy the player?

Re: Leicester sack Pearson
Which goes back to the discussion about players, if he is going to be a coach will the new manager be happy or want to bring their own staff in.ChrisC wrote:Joining in a coaching/technical role somewhere apparently. Not as a manager.jaffka wrote:The new manager of Leicester?
