ossieram Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Somebody reckons they have increased season ticket prices as well and that a season ticket for A block in the rusting shed is around £540 at early bird prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 crazy appointment by them....not so much the bloke (although I do think he is a crap manager) but the timing. Why isn't Pearce ripping their hands off for this job? its not as if he has got them lined up outside his door every day offering new jobs all over the place? Also, what has he got to lose? if he comes in now and gets them in the play off's he is a hero, if they miss out, well then it's Billy's team and they re group for next year. And finally.....what if the caretaker manager does the unthinkable and gets them in the play off's and then wins it....beating us on the way 6-0....then what do they do....say thanks, but you are sacked?

Spanish Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 can't see Pearce persuading Beckham to platy for them after the Olympics though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So that's that sorted. Who's going to manage you from November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So that's that sorted. Who's going to manage you from November? Seeing as they're going down the ex player route, please let it be Jason Lee.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So the latest news is no news as Pearce is away till tomorrow and they are chatting then. Will this turn into another Hobbs farce of a signing? No wonder the Gumptards are quite, or just bring up the past more than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 He makes Gareth Southgate look like a worldclass manager. That's good enough for me. I hate Billy D, think his football is awful etc. But Pearce is a massive stepdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowle Rohrer Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I just think it is an awful appointment. Legendary player but he has done nothing in management. As a short-term appointment he may well have been able to lift and inspire the players to secure a top 6 finish and maybe even win the play-offs but as a long term manager he will be awful.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The Gumps (except the guy above) are euphoric though. Apparently with the squad they have and with "Psycho" as manager they are going to "Walk the League" next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently with the squad they have and with "Psycho" as manager they are going to "Walk the League" next season. Not everyone is ecstatic. We may be able to finish in the play-offs as we have a decent squad and presumably Pearce must have negotiated some level of backing in the summer to add to it and we will be able to clear out some of the deadwood. With the levels of money that have been invested then the aim has to be automatic promotion as teams get in the play-offs by spending a fraction of what we have. I don't understand why we do not wait until the summer to get the right man in instead of making another bad appointment. Pearce is a million miles from being an outstanding contender.

Pearce is a million miles from being an outstanding contender. You know that, we know that, but that's a certain important individual that, despite having the best of intentions, doesn't really know what he's doing. I do almost feel sorry for you.

I do almost feel sorry for you. The same went for Nigel Doughty as well. It does not really matter how much you throw at a club if you continually make the wrong decisions and that is why we have been outside the Premier League for 15 years and spent three years in League One.

eddie Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It's 'Fan Power' though, isn't it? Fridgy really has been so desperate to keep the fans on side with every appointment, that I'm getting the impression that what the Twitterati wants, the Twitterati gets. Ebbsfleet Mk II There's a thought. Liam Daish is looking for a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree that the only impact Pearce could have had is the short term elation/enthusiasm of the fans being transferred onto the pitch and thus making the playoffs this year. Can't see the attraction next year at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's left his crumpet, and is building bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Forest fans are just really optimistic about everything bless em' .... they just look for the positives in every situation Pearce is taking over - He might have an awful managerial record but at least he'll get the fans pumped up! Lost to Derby 5-0 - At least that got Davies fired! Fawaz wants to pick the team - At least he gives us lots of money! We might miss out on the play offs despite spending tons - Oh well, we'll spend tons more money and we'll walk the league next season! (Repeat each year) Love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
