Pearson is looking to get back into management after what many consider to be harsh treatment by Southampton after ensuring their survival. Helped keep Carlisle in the league back in 1989, indeed it was him who brought Jimmy Glass to the club. A number of caretaker and assistant roles have followed in the nine years since, Pearson is keen to lay down a marker with a permanent managerial position.
Darren Ferguson seems very much a new kid on the block, yet has managed more first-team games than Pearson. Appointed Peterborough manager in Jan 2007 after a run of six straight defeats, he led them to 10th in the table, before leading them to 2nd in the table and promotion in 2008. Ambitious, and keen to progress, many are tipping Darren to follow in his father’s footsteps and achieve great things.
REMEMBER: You are voting on who out of the two on offer you would prefer to be Charlton manager.

I think Pearson has served a decent apprenticeship, with West Brom, Newcastle and England U21 on the backroom staff, he has excellent knowledge at very different set ups. Done a good short-term job at Southampton, and i think the next club to give him a permanent chance will move forwards.
