Some of us wanted an experienced manager 12 months ago. Did you? I don't remember many complaints when PC was appointed. Maybe a few doubts. Don't even remember too many by Xmas. All I am saying is that I hope Pearson is judged using the same parameters that were used by many for slating Wassall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NP will keep the Pat Murphy interviews all to himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we give Pearson the same treatment as Wassall? Or do we turn in MM again and accuse him of ruining our club again? I'm happy with the appointment but it will be very interesting to see how the fans react if things are not going as they hoped come November / December.

Pearl Ram Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Anybody that's got the hump around November/December time isn't worth listening to anyway. He's got to sort out the wheat from the chaff and even I'm prepared to give him time to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Pearson is a builder. His record suggests that his first season will start slowly and only really come together towards the end. We need to be patient. We'll see the full 'Pearson effect' the season after. He's won every poll as fans' choice recently and many of us have been touting him for months. I suspect that his record and the buzz around his appointment will buy him some time - and he's shown in the past that he's worth that patience. Chris Powell won't do any harm to that either. We (especially me) can't be critical of Mel's decision, even if it goes belly up. My only concern is that Pearson has fallen out with every owner that he's worked for. As long as him and Mel don't come to blows, I reckon that our future is rosy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people were quite clear that Pearson was the stand out candidate, experienced and was close a guarantee to promotion as we could get. Already I am now seeing that he needs time to build his own team and clear the deadwood. I actually agree with it but it shows a ridiculous level of hypocrisy.

I think the general consensus what that Wassal wasn't good enough when he was given the job, didn't display enough to keep it, and therefore didn't have the credentials to be the manager. I'm not quite sure what the issue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a load of conflicting agendas on the forum. I can certainly envisage a scenario where things are not great in the short term. Neither performances or results. The reactions should such a scenario come to pass would be interesting to witness indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson gets time because he's proven to be worth it. Wassall has no track record, so there's no reason to believe that he would have ever succeeded. It's harsh on Wassall, but this club (or the thirty or so others of a similar size or bigger) should not be hiring rookie managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure what the issue is. But how did people know, if he had never managed? People had made their minds up, made a judgement call, hung, drawn and quartered the chap before a ball had been kicked, purely and simply on the first 45 minutes against Ipswich a couple of seasons ago. Perhaps not hypocrisy, but it sure as hell was down to certain Derby fans having a Forest-level sense of entitlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Just watched his controversial Leicester ostrich & Pat Murphey interview videos on YouTube, at the time I thought he was an arrogant *****, now he's a Ram I think he was immense and was backing his players to the hilt, funny how opinions can change when he's one of our own now!
