Seeing lots of talk on various social media platforms regarding him coming here, or at the very least been spoken too.
I've discounted him recently due to the feeling he would want a club in the PL or the very least top end Championship.
Would be quite a coup if we were able to land him, should Lambert eventually get sacked at some point this century. |  |

I wonder if too much is made of the community stuff. Get it right on the pitch and much else will fall into place. |
exactly this...… I remember the Charlton away game, smith scored in about 4th min, we defended and done nothing else all game, was pretty sht..... but nobody cared at the point |  |

They couldn't afford me. |
Yep, I see you haven’t yet leaked what they offered you in the boardroom that time instead of Hob Nobs.
The horror, how far things have gone. |  | | |

I remember the great job he did at Leicester. Once upon a time he’d have done well here, but I can’t see why he’d want to come here now. |
I remember he almost got Leicester relegated the season before they won the title... Also the time he 'pretended' to strangle James McArthur 'for a laugh'. Not for me thanks! |  |

Irrelevant point but your post made me remember this.
I was in my local watching Town Vs Charlton and the bloke next to me had done nothing but slag off Noel Hunt's inclusion in the squad that day.
The game was pretty much over and then...well you know what happened in the dying seconds.
Feck me, look at this quote: "There were a total of 40 efforts on goal in the match" Fecking 40 attempts at goal. Forty!
And second in the table: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30155805
What have we become? |  |

Would Pearson struggle without Shakespeare like Lambert has without Culverhouse? |  |

Could he bring Steve Walsh with him as well to sort out the recruitment as well |  | | |

We literally don’t manage 40 goal attempts in a month of games now. Lambert’s anti-football is no-threat football and is killing us. |  |

We only had 19 of them with 6 on target.
That’s about 6 games worth at the moment and we are a league lower
What a state we are in | | | |

Not for me.
Another millionaire looking for one last pay day. His record since 2015 isn't brilliant either. I guess would cost more than any of the others linked as well, can't see him ever wanting 5 years at it and really trying to build us which we're crying out for. For me that's why I think Cowley is the one. | |

To some extent good results change things, but I think some efforts have to be made within the community to engage with fans and potential fans. Currently the club seems to be actively trying to discourage supporters. |  | | |

No manager whatsoever will get 5 years at it. They'll be gone within 2-3 years like everyone else bar Mick. |  |

That very much depends on whether they're competent like Mick, or incompetent like every ME appointment other than Mick. |  |

Pearson was interviewed before, of course. He was in the driving seat in 2006 before Jim blew Sheepy and Derek Bowden out of the water with his interview. His wife has family in the area.
 Pearson Disappointed Not to Get Town Job 10th Apr 2012 09:28Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has admitted he was disappointed not to be named Blues boss when he was interviewed for the role after Joe Royle’s departure in May 2006. Pearson, who was the assistant manager at West Brom at the time, was interviewed by then-Town chairman David Sheepshanks and chief executive Derek Bowden but lost out to retiring Blues skipper Jim Magilton.  22

No wonder magic got the job. Must have left a foul taste in the mouth though. |  |

Absolutely.
PR goes far beyond trying to buy the affections of some fans with the purchasing of a few beers for example.
The stuff Town have done over the years regarding community work/visits have not only kept the club relevant locally, but also put a smile on many a face of people in need. [Post edited 1 Feb 2021 0:14]

Am guessing that might have come from my post earlier. A friend of mine worked with him at Leicester and was very impressed with him. Equally he called another friend of mine "an ostrich" at a press conference and another a "bastard" but I think he was going through a tough spell at the time. |
I remember the ‘Ostrich’ interview - it pretty much coincided with the start of Leicester’s inspired great escape started at the back end of the season prior to them winning the league ( Ranieri was appointed in the close season following Pearson’s departure)
As I recall he apologised soon after, and the rest is history.
I live near Leicester, and Pearson is fondly remembered for his two spells in charge in which he forged a winning mentality. He’s a combustible character though, and I think he’s smart enough to have Evans sussed for the charlatan he is.
Hasn’t he turned us down previously? | | | |

What drugs are you lot on??
He is not going to come to this tin pot fiasco of a club.
I suggest you wake up and realise just what a disaster area this place is. |  |

There clearly needs to be some sort of wholesale change at the top of the club, not just removing Lambert. The disenfranchisement of fans is on a scale I haven't seen in nearly 40 years of supporting this club. Marcus seriously needs to look at how he can re engage, re energise the fanbase and local community going forward.
There is so much love for this club and it's baffling why the club seem to be so distant and put so many barriers up to stop people spending money, buying ST's ect.
If I were Evans I start to look at how I could utilise people like Milts and Warky in a greater capacity, build on the goodwill and good nature of us poor suffering souls.
Otherwise he runs the risk of losing a generation of fans, when it's already a struggle to attract the next generation.
We seriously look like we are at crossroads and depending which juncture we take will decide where this club ends up, at it's current rate, Evans's investment is in danger of being mothballed. | |

I think that was their first season back in the Premiership and they survived. I maybe wrong but aside from their wonderful owners (everything Evans isn’t) I believe he laid the foundations for Leicester’s stunning success.
Anyway, I very much doubt Pearson will be coming here and personally I’m not sure he’d be a very good fit anyway. |  | | |
| Nigel Pearson on 08:41 - Feb 1 with 2909 views | Coastalblue |
I think he'd be great here and would love to have him, might be a bit spikey but offers so much we are desperately crying out for, think the chances of him coming here are extremely slim though. |  |

I think we have two things in our favour when looking to attract a manager;
1. They know they will get time.
2. They know the owner won't interfere with how the team / club is run.
Those aspects will be important to some managers.
...however, they are always trumped by a bigger transfer budget. |
2. They know the owner won't interfere with how the team / club is run
Except when it comes to style of play and potentially formation. |  |

Agreed. I think some of these players need waking up. Too cushy for too long. Get rid of the old guard and we may stand a chance with the youngsters showing a bit of respect to a new manager. Pearson would be ideal. It's if he would want to drop to league 1 though. Would be a good project for him, with a club with history. |  | | |

3 Any reasonably competent manager should be able to get Ipswich Town promoted from League One (although this could change given the impact the salary cap might have from this summer). |
Surely the salary cap puts a greater emphasis on the Academy? And our Academy has proved itself capable of producing players who England coaches believe to be the best in their age group. | | | |
