In recent months, he has fallen out with so many first-team players that locals joke about the need for a "naughty step" at the training ground. (Guardian 7th Nov 2009)

It wasn't just us locals, Adam Pearson even said he wanted the 'naughty step' removed from the training ground.

It's gone now. Ehab sold it on Ebay.

Yes. We played them in the March at their place and if we'd have won they'd have probably have been relegated. As it was it finished up 0-0. I walked out of the ground amongst the Leicester fans and they were all to a man saying Pearson should be sacked. I think there were four or five games left, I butted in and said Pearson would save you, he's a good manager and to be fair Leicester had a decent squad then, it was his team.
I think he won all the remaining games and we went down instead. He was sacked or resigned ? in the summer over the incident involving his son and a couple of other players in a hotel during a pre season tour. His squad won the Premier League that season.
Nigel Pearson was one of the better managers at championship level ( Div 2) that Hull City have ever had.

Think the following week they went to WBA and came from behind to win . It was as if a light had been turned on and Vardy became fired up and goal hungry , they turned the corner that day. They were a few points behind us when we played them but overtook us easily. I would have Pearson back over Bruce ATM . Pearson and his staff recruited good lower league players who did well for us and other teams. After a shaky start he had a solid upward championship team.
Fryatt
Chester
Brady
Rosenior
Koren
all brought in along with other decent players.

No. No. No. No. No. Nope. Not at all. No.

Phil Parkinson built us a decent squad but would you have him back? There’s a difference between being a good recruiter and being actually able to manage the team you’ve built.

If anything Big Nige’s experiences at us and Leicester show he’s not very good at all, because other managers have been able to come in and get more out of his squads than he ever could.

Who’s to say why? But if I was to hazard a guess I’d say it’s because he’s a ****.

Phil Parkinson built a decent squad ? Did he ? He was only here a matter of weeks and the players went to Pearson asking for him to be sacked. He wasn't here long enough to build a decent squad.

Give you two out of the three.
Marney was one of our first £1m purchases and only played well against Spurs.

Turner was his first signing for £350k, Marney was his second for £500k, then Ricketts for £400k, they were all fantastic business.

Marney was no Messi but he played 138 games for us and was good in plenty of them.
