    That's what is being written. Who knows how true that is, but with the recent goings on at the club, would it really surprise anyone?

    Oh yeah, sorry, I misread it and assumed the #WatfordFC at the front was just a tag and the journo had got in touch with Javi's agent or whatever.

    I’d be more surprised if we didn’t approach him again at this point...

    So, who’s looking forward to League One in a couple of years time?

    Gerard Deulofeu for sure.

    We’ve absolutely thrown the towel in. Pathetic.

    Which appointment would convince you that we haven't thrown in the towel and aren't League 1 bound, then?

    Reappointing QSF seemed more like throwing in the towel to me.

    At least we’re trying something different.

    I'm slowly warming to the idea of Pearson. He'll at least sort out the ones who are up for a fight, which we'll need to know before next season, whichever league we're in.

    Get in. I know not everyone will see the merits of this appointment, but I'm certain fans will be delighted at what he'll do. I'll even go as far to say we now have a chance of staying up.

    @TheAthleticUK understands deal now agreed for Nigel Pearson to become new head coach. Expect confirmation tomorrow of contract to end of season + extra yr option & Craig Shakespeare as no 2. Mullins in charge v #CPFC. Pearson expected to watch from stands.

    Valentines Day 2012 under Bassini he told me go **** myself as a teenager in a club suit. Now he's the gaffer - if you'd told me this is where the Pozzo takeover would lead...

    Last night you said we should steer clear and will end badly?

    That was my initial thoughts, but I've been extremely positive ever since when I had time to think about it and factored in Shakespeare. They are a very good team. Without him, I wouldn't be all that optimistic. Shakespeare is quality though. It's like Clough and Taylor, together the sum is greater than the parts.

    Fair enough, I admire the optimism - even if I can’t share it!

    I've warmed to the idea since I've heard the positive opinion Leicester fans have of him.
    The only thing I really remembered of his time managing them was thinking that he was a massive ******.
    But maybe what this squad needs right now is a massive ******.
    I've accepted that we're 95% sure of going down this season, so I don't really see what we have to lose. If it all goes **** up, he's only got a contract til the summer anyway.
    Can we have a new manager bounce this time, please?

    Chickens coming home to roost now. Gino’s sheer arrogance to coast along getting ‘one more year’ out of the likes of Holebas, Cathcart et al and the sheer contempt for anything even CLOSE to ambition has finally come full circle.

    We’re getting exactly what we deserve now. Shameful from the powers that be. Shameful.

    Wonder if Deeney will still be captain under Pearson? Or will NP change it up to prove a point about who is in charge now?

    Can't wait for Pearson to prove all the bed wetters wrong. Just the sort of Head Coach we need to give the players a kick up the arse.

    Who needs AJ Ruiz when we've got Pearson v Giraldi coming up.

    NP will sort out all the little over paid moaners & tell it like it is. B*tch slap Holebas into place & tell Del if he doesn't put the ball in the F-ing net this time, his wages will get deducted. Liking the sound of it very much already.

    Pozzo's obviously see player power combined with a losing mentality have taken hold in the club & needed to gamble on a renegade do or die manager.

    Giraldi is in pole position regarding recruitment. I see no reason why he should be anywhere near 'the tunnel'. Ever.

    What you've identified is, in tandem (there's that inappropriate word again) that they work as a triple. To the exclusion of the head coach. So maybe what's needed is a quadruple thingymybob where the head coach has a bit more influence around 'what's needed'. Particularly in the effing tunnel where Giraldi should stay in the Upper GT and mind his own business. If a supposed boss was getting in your face in the office or any other workplace around things that had been supposedly delegated to you on a consistent basis how would you feel?

    Giraldi strikes me as a bit of a c.nt with ideas above his station who I'd really like to slap. Does he know where Gino buried the body?

    Personally, I'd prefer it of he f.cked right off out of our football club. Right now.
