ian1964 10,761 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The former Leicester City boss has been discussed at length among the Parkhead hierarchy. Express Sport understands that the Celtic board are still at the very early stages in their search for a new manager. They are compiling a list of options which majority shareholder Dermot Desmond will narrow down to a shortlist. Pearson is to be sounded out to see if he would be interested in being considered for the Celtic job. However, they could face a race against time to secure the 52-year-old’s signature as both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough are interested in hiring him - Pearson is currently favourite to take over at Villa Park. Pearson has been out of a job since being sacked by Leicester in June 2015. He is credited with laying the foundations for their astonishing success this season, having assembled the team which is close to winning the Premier League title. As well as Leicester, Pearson has managed Hull, Southampton and Carlisle. He has also had caretaker spells in charge of Newcastle, England Under-21s and West Brom. David Moyes remains the bookies’ favourite to replace Deila, closely followed by Roy Keane, while Neil Lennon would love his old job back. Steve Clarke and Malky Mackay have also declared their interest in the role since Deila confirmed he will step down at the end of the season. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/664715/Celtic-Aston-Villa-Nigel-Pearson-Premier-League-transfer-news-gossip-rumours 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,168 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Pearson to celtic? What's to think about? A chance to go to a club with a long, proud, trophy winning history including the cup with the big lugs and premier club in the city by a country mile. So the Villa it is, then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Roy Keane would be great for us... But the lack of noise on Moyes except by the bookies suggests to me he's likely to be top of the list and I wouldn't be surprised if something is going on now behind the scenes. They need a big name if for nothing else but to appease the hoard. I think they are crapping themselves and will start to throw money at it, as that's where they still feel superior. Our board and Warburton need to watch carefully and make sure that we're not building a side to compete with this season's Celtic team and manager. It's a moving target. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
