    You haven't got a scooby mate. Why not just admit it?

    Actually the club DID make an approach for Javi....according to my sources. So up yours Shaggy.

    I quite often see Javi when I'm walking the dog, I'll ask him if I bump in to him next week.

    Personally I think it shows that the Pozzo’s are flexible in appointing an English manager. They clearly prefer foreign based coaches, but have changed their approach - presumably based on input from the players. He has previous in terms of falling out with owners of other clubs. This will probably be a great success or an unmitigated disaster, I don’t really see a middle ground.

    Would this have anything to do with the dismissal case.
    Offered to give him his job back but doesn't want it.
    Why should he be compensated.

    Well what a surprise. This board's self-appointed gloater-in-chief writes Pearson off before he even gets here. Tell us all, oh great naysayer, who should we get in at this point?

    HB1s sources are the Q+A with Levanthal where AL said we had made an approach for Javi.

    I've decided I'm putting my money on Pearson.

    What are the odds?

    I feel underwhelmed, perplexed and depressed. His record since Leicester is appalling. However, I suppose it’s good to finally end the speculation and appoint someone and get on with it. I’m not sure we had much choice as why would a promising manager want to come?

    Why on earth would Lee Johnson come when he has more chance of being in the Premiership with Bristol City next season plus greater job security?

    A dream combo of Pearson and Shakespeare. I'm going to call them Shakespearson.

    I actually thought you were talking about his dad Gary after I got them mixed up, who for me would have been a better choice.

    Lee is still relatively green and hasn't managed in the PL, though I suppose he would be no more a gamble than Graham Potter.

    Probably not someone who was recently sacked for being bottom of the Belgian second division pub league.

    F you Watford for ruining yet another weekend of my life. Liverpool to be the first side in history to get in double figures next Saturday. This can only end badly.

    Be pretty incredible if the 'Pearson Effect' got us a 1-0 win though... We'd still be last on MotD though, Gary hates us.

    The players need a drill sergeant type of manager to be honest, fingers crossed.

    We are two wins away from being in touch. Bristol City have never played in the PL and are 8 points off 2nd. They don’t have more chance of being in the PL next season.

    I reckon I should be allowed a little scope for hyperbole.

    Pearson getting Lesta promoted in 2014 after what must have been a massive disappointment in losing to us in the playoffs, shows the type of character he is. Some people thrive on adversity others go into their shell. I think it may work, but we are a complete mess at the moment. Its more likely that we will make a go of it this year, with a reasonable chance of getting us promoted next year.

    I take your point but fully expect LJ to be in the Premier League in the next 2-3 years, with or without Bristol City.

    They have a good chance of the play offs but maybe not good enough to come up ...for now .

    Anyway is this a long term appointment even if we go down or will Pozzo and co be looking for another manager next summer (or before !!)
