I don’t understand this view that Nigel Pearson is suddenly a proven manager? He managed to get Leicester up eventually, fine but has done nothing else of note, other continuously be a total bellend and completely unstable - might as well get Billy back if we go down that route.
Don’t forget how dreadful Pearson was with Derby and managed to somehow fall out with the Watford board when he nearly steered them clear.
I wouldn’t be against Hughton - he’s not the same as Pearson at all, both in quality of CV and personality. Hughton has won promotion with two different championship clubs, one of which had no right to go up and whom he kept there for years to come and continue to enjoy top flight football.
He kept Norwich up against all odds and above it all, isn’t a complete tosser.
Failing Hughton, I’d honestly see if we can grab Warnock - getting to a point where I wonder if he’s just meant to be the one to take us up.
