TigerTedd Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 No offence to Wassall, but it concerns me how we are so closely following the Forest model. A couple of seasons ago they sack Tyrion. They had Pearce lined up, but Brazil took charge for the rest of the season, and they plodded into a mid table finish. If Pearce had taken over straight away, his new manager bounce that happened the next season, would have been enough to get them into the play offs. This reeks of just giving up on the season, when promotion by the play offs is a really good possibility, and automatics isn't entirely off the table yet. Why not appoint a new manager now. If he's crap, then we get rid in summer, and were no worse off, looking for a new manager to take over in summer. If he's good, then he might get us promoted, or at least he'll have had time with the squad ready to hit the ground running next season. Putting Wassall in charge til the end of the season, unless he's considered a real potential candidate for the permanent job, is just a waste of time.

If he struggles, we'll put Terry from the South Car Park in charge eh? Too late with Terry - had his head turned with the promise of a 5 year deal at Florist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, if Wassall wins his next 3 games on the spin, why change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a potential target in mind who is only available in the summer? Or if you want to see if you can poach someone else but need to wait to see how their team does first? (Howe? Dyche?) Or if you think that promoting someone who's been around under 3 lots of management and so might have some understanding of the way you think football should be played at derby?

It can't be *that* nerve-wracking can it, a Championship match vs Franchise Dons? Anyone else there in the volcanic times after Brian Clough left? Pandemonium! Street marches, active protest meetings, player statements....but The Rams still went on the pitch next game and beat Leicester. Then in came mighty Dave Mackay! Who might be our 'Mackay Messiah' next time? Are we going to be a big club, or just a perpetual Cinderella outfit? Gary Rowett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I heard John Peacock was pictured sunbathing on a nudist beach on the Côte d'Azur despite the fact his contract specifically says that he can't.
