The scenario you put forward that would make you lose interest in football completely is a scenario that has always been a massive part of football certainly over the 50 years I've been watching it ,, it's cyclical and happens to lots of clubs at different times in fact it's a myth that Brian clough built Derby on nothing ,,, he bloody spent a fair bit of Sam longs tons money ( not always sanctioned first) , I'm shocked you don't see that scenario as part and parcel of football ,, it's always been there and always will be , About 20 years on and off. More fervently for the last 10. I was definitely exaggerating what my reaction would be in my previous post, and I understand that these scenarios (to a lesser extent) are fairly common in modern football, I just really prefer when we're underestimated and disliked the 'Big spending Derby' image attached to us last season. I'd prefer to finish 2nd with a group of average players overachieving, with immense team spirit and attractive football than to finish 1st with a bunch of underachieving primadonnas playing negative football. Again, I'm not referring to our current situation here, and using extremes just trying to clarify my feelings about football overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Warburton would be my choice but I would be very happy with Pearson. If it is true that those two are real candidates I am very happy. There has been a lot said about the silence being deafening, infact there is a thread about it, but to me the silence means Wassall will be replaced and the club are going about the business in a professional way and when 1st June passes the announcement will be made. Exciting times again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammeister Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Pearson has always been my number one choice after @eddie. I do believe that he (Pearson) would definitely think he had something to prove after how he left Leicester and then what happened to them last season under Ranieri. Exciting times!

nottingram Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 5 minutes ago, CornwallRam said: Very few managers have been promoted from the Championship more than once. Since 2004 when the division was renamed (and I don't think we need to consider managers from much before that as football has moved on) Steve Bruce holds the record with three promotions and Mick McCarthy, Neil Warnock and Ian Holloway all have two. Steve Coppell, Alan Curbishley, Paul Jewell, Sam Allardyce, Gary Megson and Harry Redknapp all have a single Championship promotion, but achieved previous promotion from Division 1. So if your saying that multiple promotions is your main criteria, that is your shortlist. No one on that list appeals to me more than Pearson, who also has a League 1 promotion and the distinction of playing a key role in the Leicester story. I can understand that but I just think he has a reputation far beyond what he's actually shown. He's not a guarantee of promotion at all like has been suggested and I'm genuinely interested in what he can bring that others with similar records can't. I find the idea that he has increased his reputation based on Leicester winning the league a little 'wishy washy'. He had that squad in the bottom 3 for most of last season.

Reread your posts as if you had not written them and you may get a different perspective on them. Everyone on here is an 'expert'. If you do not know that, you have not been reading carefully enough. We all give our best insights because we are all 'experts'. My only problem with this Forum is that a lot of the other 'experts' actually know more than me. This is rather unacceptable but I am learning to live with it. Keep posting, McLovin. Thanks for the input Rampage. I may sound negative but I can assure you I am not, I like to put it as I see it as B4 would say and one other user said that I like to reflect the silent majority, against the mainstream view but those what some users are afraid to say. The beauty of a forum is that not everyone has the same views, it would be boring if we all held the same views but it does get frustrating when some users needlessly create arguments just because they don't agree with my particular views such as saying they dont want a particular manager in because I want them in and putting them down because they are a greater fan than myself which I find patronising. Usually i would take this on the chin as 'banter' but I have had a few personal issues in my life at the moment so I apologise if I dont come across as the joking type currently.Anyway we are all Derby fans so onwards and upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 One thing that would irk me a little if we hired Pearson, is that why didnt we hire him after Clements dismissal? (Purely so Mel's buddy Wassell could get a chance and it cost us promotion) If Moyes won't drop to the championship and Martinez isnt interested. pEARSON WILL DO..
