BarrowRam Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Leicester probably wouldn't of won the league under Pearson. But what he has done is win promotion. And hopefully however comes to the ipro they can do that for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson is probably the best of the available bunch but I'm very put off by the number of times he's lost his head in public (he's probably done it a lot more behind the scenes!). Di Matteo has achieved in his career without coming with the baggage that Pearson does and I'm a bit disappointed Villa can attract him but it seems that we can't. Achieved? Debatable. Yes, he somehow won the CL (even Chelsea fans will admit that they were very lucky to win it), but minus that, his W/L ratio and league form at Chelsea was dreadful. He was sacked by West Brom and sacked by Schalke for a poor season. Not really tried and tested at this level either. Yes he got West Brom up, but their squad was very, very good. Don't know too much about him, but I think I'd prefer Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good points, but he also had an absolutely wretched time at Schalke 04. Fell out with two of their best players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Ince I think would be one of the main players to benefit from Pearson imo, I think Ince would be one of those to "die for the cause" attitudes under him.

Just find it odd that he doesn't even appear to be in the frame, and yet the team most likely to attract a manager of a similar calibre to us at the moment think he's the best bet. Maybe it still isn't time for Derby's first foreign manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard him linked with any jobs until Villa appointed their new chairman, who is probably attracted by the lavish playing career and obviously the CL win, which is understandable. But this is the championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's flying off the handle at the press in front of tv cameras its fair to say hes almost definitely doing it at players behind closed doors. I'd disagree about Ince. He strikes me as the kind of guy that needs an arm round the shoulder and to be told hes brilliant to keep him confident. Don't think he'd deal well with somebody like Pearson.

May Contain Nuts Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Pearson's squad when he took over Leicester for the second time vs Pearson's squad when they won the Championship nearly 2 and a half years (29 months) later: (sorted by appearances made) Draw your own conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the championship! ..which he has been promoted from the championship! The basis on which we are saying Pearson should get the job (but with Leicester obviously). The fact WBA had a very very good squad is a mute point for me. We had a very very good squad last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Ince would benefit from a manager like Pearson. I don't think he'd be scared to give him a kick up the bum when he's playing so inconsistently like this season. Ince made it into double figures with goals (12) and nearly on assists(9). A consistent season out of him would make him one of the best players in league imo.

Chester40 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Finally I've got the word I was looking for INTENSITY. So many times recently I felt it was what was missing from the play. Even though I was a Steve fan, I did find his nonchalent interviews holding his tea rather 2nd hand car salesman...PC was more in the Martinez mould of quite polished and suave, DW was all annoying enthusiastic puppy... So people saying Pearson is rude to journalists etc...good I say. I'd welcome his intensity, his glare and don't ask daft questions attitude, his lack of care if they like him. I hope that outward attitude is replicated towards the players where needed. I would love that intensity, the do your f-ing job for the team or else ethic, a will to win at all costs mentality for a change. Tired of being graceful runners up..want to be a nasty winner!

PodgeyRam Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Seen people saying that Pearson will play this formation or that formation. Pearson will do what all good managers do and play the formation that gets the best out of his players, which to me seems to be 433 for the players we have. If a manager can't adapt, then they shouldn't be a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I don't know if I'm the only one who felt like this under our last few managers but I always felt that in certain games we would be bullied away at teams before we even played. Prime examples being Boro, Burnley, QPR, Fulham, Leeds. If we got Pearson I'd feel a lot more confident matching up against physically stronger teams with tight grounds and feel that we wouldn't get bullied in these types of games.

But sad that Derby County is his life, his one true club, he has given his all both as academy director and manager, yet the fans on the most part dont see his face as fitting to be their manager and tell him he would be better off elsewhere. Reminds me of the Ryan Giggs situation, a one club man, he doesnt want to manage anyone else, yet certain people tell him he cant manage them without head coach experience elsewhere. Not too sure about one club man, he spent more playing time at Florist............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I could be wrong, but I think that Sky Bet have just suspended betting on our new manager. If they have, an announcement might well be imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
