Clowes made a point of specifically mentioning Pearce in the recent supporters AGM by saying along the lines of he has a point to prove following the amount of unfounded criticism that has been flung his way.
Nice to see Clowes not coming in with any preconceptions or prejudices, publicly supporting one of his staff whilst taking time to form his own balanced opinion on matters.
'Found out at championship level.' He was Rotherham manager, look at what he was working with. A manager is only as good as his players. He got the best out of what he had at Rotherham and I expect him to do so here, doesn't necessarily mean we will be playing 'rowettball'
For the owners there is a massive, massive priority to get out of the division this season. This is everything. I have rolled my eyes as plenty of posters have said maybe it would be better to stabilize this year and go up next. As if such a thing were possible. The consequences of not getting promoted would be terrible and that seems the only priority here. Bring someone in who has a track record of promotions out of League One. It's easier to stabilize and retain players in the Championship, with much higher revenues. The thinking will be that the style of football does not matter a jot so long as we go up.
David Clowes put a lot money into saving the club but we have all known he doesn't have a bottomless pit to fund us. This seems pretty pragmatic. Also ruthless and tough on Rosenior, but if Rosenior is staying, he must be on board with it at a fairly significant level.
